So after two very successful shooting armies I wanted a combat focused one & FW came out with the RG kits so I decided to go with the 19th Chapter. It did not go well. BassWave pointed out a major problem was how weak the RAS in C:SM. After learning how awesome Raven Guard was & how they functioned in fluff I wanted to revisit them properly. With a new C:SM around the corner as well as a rumored supplement, I'm cautiously optimistic & ready to try again. To start off is Shadow Captain Korvydae & Epistolary Kyaneus.

I'm not a fan of no helmeted Marines cause 1 I don't like painting faces & 2 they feel too much like sniper bait.

I use the camera on a smart phone & it doesn't always turn out right. It looks like it focued on the paint pots so I'll try again later. I hope its noticeable that he's just painted a dark color. I also hope that Necron Abyss is a dark blue & not a dark purple.

"We take Lycaeus from the corrupt! The Tech-Guilds! The oppressors of generations who have kept you down with myths of opportunity, and we give it back to you... the people. Deliverance is yours." - Dramatized speech by Corvus Corax from the Remembrancer film, The Gothic Knight Rises

 

So finally got some time to work on my Raven Guard. Got a 1k list with Korvydae at the head so to lead my RAS I made Sargent Will Never Fit in Slot or Sgt Bane.

So this is the WIP RAS I have for my RG. Ok that's a lot of acronyms.

Me: I have one rule, no bare heads. BassWave: Oh, then that's the rule you'll have to break to look cool.

This is what Sgt Bane would look like with a power sword. I have the points to give him the sword but I don't know.

This is the hand I'm leaning towards, a simple grenade. Possibly a green stuff make over to make it look like krak.

[Dark Rage]

Or perhaps "I come in peace" Dark Angel style.

 

Very nice conversions really like the Librarian and the duel sword guy, very nice.

[Darth Mustard]

or perhaps "I'm the leader of a boys band"

very cool posture thought

And sergent Bane is definetely the appropriate name
