I'd be very interested in the recipe you used for the Raptor's leather pouches, please. :tu:

Ha that's awesome, thanks Charlo!

 

@ hushrong, thanks!

 

I'm really happy with the model and it was fun to paint - so I hope I can get a playable force done before 9th Ed!

[LutherMax]

Got some more Raptors done!

No. Words. To. Praise. The. Majesty.

 

You've hit Raptors on the nose!  Perfect rendition.

[Brother Desultor]

Outstanding as ever brother.

[terminatorAM]

Those Raptors are simply amazing. Did you use the same pre-highlight technique that you use for your Blood Angels?

 

That fade from green to black is just perfect. I must figure out how you do it!!!

The way you paint is unfair, simply amazing

[LutherMax]

Thanks guys!

Thanks brother! The process is actually (deliberately ) simpler than my Blood Angels method. I've just posted a tutorial on my blog in fact: http://www.themightybrush.com/how-to-paint-raptors-space-marines/

 

 

And here's the next five dudes...

[Bjorn Firewalker]

Excellent work.

[Ovidius Incertus]

Thanks for the tutorial.  Yours are the superlative Raptors and I just bought a box of Primaris to paint a Raptor inspired by yours!

[LutherMax]

Here's the first vehicle for the Raptors – a Predator!

[Ovidius Incertus]

Awesome!  Love the black and yellow accents.  Perfectly located as spot colors and don't at all detract from your awesome green scheme.

 

Where'd you get the Raptors decals?  And the text in that front side panel?  I assume that's a decal and not freehand.

[Bjorn Firewalker]

Excellent work on the Predator.

[LutherMax]

Thanks guys!

 

@ Ovidius the Raptors decals are from chaptercustomizer.com and the front panel ones are from the GW Blood Angels sheet (with the Blood Angels icons themselves removed and replaced with Raptor head / Aquilla.

[Vairocanum]

WOW that predator is beautifully painted! Love all the colors, and such great weathering too! Will you be doing a dreadnought at some point? Definitely looking forward to seeing more!

[Jolemai]

Have to say, that's an interesting shade of red you've gone for...

[LutherMax]

@  Vairocanum, Dreadnoughts are in fact one of my favourite units in the whole 40k universe – so yes I will be doing some!

 

@ Jolemai – did you not notice the cables under the lascannons?!

[LutherMax]

Back with some Blood Angels! Latest recruits in the Death Company...

[Pulse]

Huge fan of your Relictors!

 

Book marked your blog as well and will give your style a try ASAP!

[sockwithaticket]

Man, your Raptors are absolutely on point; that's a really rich camo green they're sporting and the weathering is the perfect amount.

New DC look great with their soft black, the Destroyer models were a good choice for a base as those helmets and the extra armour make them look like they really mean business. The additional empty pistol holster on 4 of them is eating away at me, though, since they've only got the one pistol.

[LutherMax]

Thanks both!

 

@ socket, I remember your concerns over the holsters – just imagine they've already emptied the clips of their other pistols and thrown them at the heads of the enemy while charging in! :D

[sockwithaticket]

I've voiced that before? Whoops, totally forgot and I don't want to sound like a nag as it's really not that big a deal. Your solution is a fitting one
