kdruthless Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Hello all, As mentioned in my thread on the Crimson Hunters, I have a fondness for the character of Gideon Ravnor and would like to field him as the leader of a small Inquisitorial warband (don't like the idea of using grey knights, will use deathwatch with their rules tho). Unofrtunately, I have absolutely no idea where to start converting the model. Has their ever been any artwork of Ravenor in his 'chair'? I was thinking of using the tracks from the thunderfire cannon as a base, but am otherwise a little clueless about that I could build. Am also very interested in what the experienced players would say about how to field him on the battle field. Again, had a vague idea of a conversion beamer being in there somewhere (i'd prefer a shooty inquisitor to anything else) but am unsure about what would be effective. I'm a total GK noob, so at the moment, I'm going 'ooh, that'd be neat!' without actually thinking about it too much :) Any advice would be appreciated.

JusticarErictheblue Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 I've never read Ravenor, he's Ordo Xenos isn't he? I'd use 2 xenos inquisitors, and fill elites with 2 inquisitorial henchmen war bands and an assassin Maine have 2 small strike squads and ally with guard. http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110829175647/warhammer40k/images/8/8f/Ravenor_3.jpg You could use Coteaz as he allows you to use as many Henchmen as you want.

kdruthless Posted June 17, 2013 Author Share Posted June 17, 2013 Thanks for that, but I was hoping that there might be some artwork for him after his accident that left him in that life-support chair of his, and Coteaz's rules don't really do it for me: hes more close combat and Ravenor isn't going to be very good at that :) As for the warband, I was thinking Jokaero and shooty crusaders with maybe a deathcult assassin or two in there. Would be interested to see what loadout people think would represent ravenor himself best Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/276968-gideon-ravenor/#findComment-3395556 Share on other sites More sharing options...
JusticarErictheblue Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Yeah, uh sorry that's not quite what I meant,Ts my fault for not being clear, I know squat all about him, but couldn't you field Ravenor and Coteaz?

kdruthless Posted June 17, 2013 Author Share Posted June 17, 2013 Not in an allied detachment at sub 2000pts. Only a single HQ slot available at that points level.

Odsox Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Well there's been nothing official, but Aerion The Faithful on DeviantArt (whose warhammer fanart is AMAZING) did a rather nifty piece: http://aerion-the-faithful.deviantart.com/art/All-the-Lost-Souls-149743997 Obviously that's Ravenor's "chair" at the bottom. Might be a good place to start. Good luck! Od. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/276968-gideon-ravenor/#findComment-3395599 Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdruthless Posted June 17, 2013 Author Share Posted June 17, 2013 Thanks for that: never quite imagined it that way before :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/276968-gideon-ravenor/#findComment-3395601 Share on other sites More sharing options...
nurglez Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 it's supposed to float around, so tracks probably wouldn't suit it. it has a mention of being armed with psycannons I think, so I'd go for an ordo mallus inquisitor with terminator armour and a psycannon :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/276968-gideon-ravenor/#findComment-3395668 Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdruthless Posted June 17, 2013 Author Share Posted June 17, 2013 Yeah, that'd make sense actually. Although it'd be faintly heretical not to have an ordo xenos inquisitor :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/276968-gideon-ravenor/#findComment-3395683 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argun Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 If I remember correctly, Ravenor's got 2 psycannons in his chair. And don't forget that he's a psyker too... so that psyker upgrade might/might not me beneficial fluffwise.

kdruthless Posted June 17, 2013 Author Share Posted June 17, 2013 I think a psychic Ordos malleus in term. armor with a psycannon and emperyan brain mines will be able to represent him quite nicely on the battlefield. Now, jokaero are going in, shall brook no argument on that one, but what do people think about the inquisitor war band?

nurglez Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Depends on how true to fluff you want to be. He's got his usual henchmen and several disposable ones, so the world is your oyster :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/276968-gideon-ravenor/#findComment-3395920 Share on other sites More sharing options...
