steamius Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 Hey. This is an escalation for my self. I started this army a long a go, but dident manage to paint all the miniatures. And since, in my locale gaming place, was a sugestion to paint up a 750p army, I thought why not. And I will continiu painting it up to 1000, 1250, 1500, 1750, 1850 and 2000p. For this army I was using the SW codex, since its the best one out there in my option. But I will maybe change it for ravenguard Sm one. http://i642.photobucket.com/albums/uu143/STEAMwarhammer/DSC02794_zps86464b25.jpg http://i642.photobucket.com/albums/uu143/STEAMwarhammer/DSC02792_zps0cf17fff.jpg http://i642.photobucket.com/albums/uu143/STEAMwarhammer/DSC02797_zpsffac223f.jpg http://i642.photobucket.com/albums/uu143/STEAMwarhammer/DSC02798_zps205bb744.jpg http://i642.photobucket.com/albums/uu143/STEAMwarhammer/DSC02799_zps9e1d587d.jpg http://i642.photobucket.com/albums/uu143/STEAMwarhammer/DSC02800_zpsa9abb3f6.jpg http://i642.photobucket.com/albums/uu143/STEAMwarhammer/DSC02801_zps0b35b544.jpg http://i642.photobucket.com/albums/uu143/STEAMwarhammer/DSC02807_zps166e6eb5.jpg http://i642.photobucket.com/albums/uu143/STEAMwarhammer/DSC02808_zps040ab1f0.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/281506-dark-ravens/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Nezulius Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 Although I liked your miniatures, the foul language on the Razorback really is a big no no for me. Don't get me wrong, I'm no saint when it comes to swearing... but it's something that a Space Marine wouldn't paint on his vehicle and it just ruins the look of your army. Just my two cents...

steamius Posted October 6, 2013 Author Share Posted October 6, 2013 Brother Nezulius, Thx for the comment ^^) I know that not every one will like it. But, since I painted something like that on the drop pod a long time ago. I thought that I need to continiu ^^) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/281506-dark-ravens/#findComment-3487330 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maelarion Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 You've got a good colour scheme going, and the painting's pretty good, but seriously - cover up that graffiti. It's crass and looks like a 13 year old did it. It detracts majorly from the whole army. Now, if it was imperial guard (perhaps a less disciplined/eg penal regiment) it might be *slightly* more fitting, but it would still be pretty...off putting.

Urauloth Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 I'm dying laughing at that razorback but I really hope you don't expect anyone to take this army seriously with decoration like that, and I'm reasonably sure there's a forum rule about profanity being violated here somewhere, just as a heads up Not that I wouldn't like to see more of this army, of course. I definitely would. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/281506-dark-ravens/#findComment-3487521 Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeffTibbetts Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 I, for one, miss the old days of marines with graffiti on their equipment. Not all marines are warrior monks. Or at least, at one point they weren't. Did you take down the offending pic because the only thing I saw was on a chainsword. I couldn't see the graffiti on the rhino or razorback. While I don't know how well it fits in with your army here, who have a fair amount of bling, I think for chapters recruited from savage feral worlds it can be kind of cool to have mottos, slogans, or phrases painted on. I almost never see it on loyalist armies and it's a bit of a shame. Who doesn't remember "Kil kil kil"?

Lysere Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 I was gonna say I don't see it either. Also while I do agree that most chapters won't use graffiti, I'm sure some chapters would. Not every chapter is knightly or honor bound. You wouldn't see any chapters in the first few foundings doing it, but some of the later ones might.

Brother Nezulius Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 Yes and you can paint your Space Marine chapter pink with purple dots and yellow stripes as well...but you wouldn't do that either now would you? Personally I think it's totally not matching the fluff of the Space Marines. Graffiti is something that you would put on Imperial Guard vehicles or Chaos Marines...but not loyalist Space Marines. I am sure they will respect their wargear way too much to cover it up with stuff like that.

BrotherCaptainArkhan Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 Problem is, there is precedent for graffiti in Space Marine literature, even the badly mispelled variety. I understand what you were going with, I think, but the issue is it makes them look more like uneducated teenagers than psychotically inchoate killing machines. Aside from that, I like the colour scheme and your painting is nice, well done :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/281506-dark-ravens/#findComment-3488277 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure they will respect their wargear way too much to cover it up with stuff like that. Not every chapter in the fluff seems to really care about their wargear given there's an entire chapter that seems more interested in simply taking wargear from other imperial armies. Also this is 40k, there are more marine chapters probably than marine players. While not the norm, (and probably frowned upon by the more established chapters) there is really no precedent I've seen that says you can't do something like that. The only precedent I've seen is people saying it is uncool and the lack of it in the "official" artwork. I wouldn't do it for my marines because they are crusaders and knights, but they are just one of the many chapters in the void of space.

Nemisor Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 i like the scheme so far. try working on where you put the highlights though. not every edge needs a highlight. try just doing the edges that are facing upwards if you know what i mean. the power weapons look really nice too. as for the grafiti.....each to their own. certainly there are chapters/legions that do it (Alpha legion for one) my problem is more with what it says ( or said before the pics got pulled ). its a little childish maybe? dont get me wrong, i swear like a drunken angry sailor but there is a time and a place for it. i duno, if it were me and i realy wanted to put that on there i would do it in another language, like celtic or latin etc. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/281506-dark-ravens/#findComment-3488894 Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnvilofFenris Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 As I haven't seen the pics with the graffiti, I can't comment, but I like the colour scheme, the deep red contrasts really nicely with the pale grey, and you've got some nice poses as well.

BrotherCaptainArkhan Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 If all Thunderwolves looked like that... Painting skills have improved a lot. If that Thunderwolf was 10% bigger it would be perfect, but it looks great as-is. edit: what legs have you used on the rider? Is it the photo angle giving the illusion they're slightly smaller than regular PA?
