Raptors for vanquish 2014

[Lexington]

Incredible army. Just breathtaking. Those Centurions are one of the only things that've made me think the base model might not be hopeless...

[MasterBuilder]

Great force. That inquisitor is absolutely sublime!

 

That aside, I love the stalkers and enjoy your take on Lias Issodon. Been waiting to see a conversion. Think it will look great on the field with the rest, and particularly like hos the model has only been moldy stylised, rather than a 'hey, I'm the commander look at me!' Approach some chapters have.

 

Very good, clearly based on the fluff well. Nice work, ave brother!

[PaintMyBits]

Thanks a ton guys. i will have more to show by the end of the week i hope.

Where does that head on Lias come from?

Where does that head on Lias come from?

 

That is the Minotaurs Chaplain's helmet from Forgeworld, he comes in a double pack with the chaptermaster whose in some kick-ass armour!

Think he's called Ivanus Enkomi or something along those lines!

[JAFisher44]

Thanks. I knew I'd seen it somewhere, but I couldn't place it.

[Ace Debonair]

Wow, that whole army is stunning. First-rate stuff!

The level of detail even on the small bits (the faces, for example) is just amazing.

[PaintMyBits]

got the faces on the sternguard.   Will be doing the decals tonight. Apologies for the harsh light as i only have a desk lamp to snap these with.

Fantastic!

Can we get a full army pic when you're done? This army is pretty inspiring to say the least.

[jpwyrm]

They're looking great! Thanks for the green armour walkthrough BTW, it will come in handy soon.

 

Keep up the good work!

[The Yak]

Very nice work.

 

Love your take on Issodon!

 

Good use of the stealth cloaks on the sternguard.

 

More please!!

Every time I see an awesome army on here I want to strip my minis and start that chapter =O

[PaintMyBits]

Well i finished the army in time for vanquish.  And i placed 76th game wise but learnt a lot about my army.   it was my 3rd time playing 6th ed.  But the army did finish 3rd overall for the Best army award, so i didnt come home empty handed. 

I hope these pictures suffice for you guys but if you want ones of each unit ill try and get some done.  I will be dropping the GK and going full raptor, I will add a fire raptor that i will name 'sharrokyns revenge', a storm talon another bike squad but using jet bikes and 5 scouts with bolters.   My rending bolters were real surprises, i downed valks and stopped rhinos with a mix of lucky rolls and glancing stuff to death.  It was great fun and i love the feel of the army which im going to keep i think.

Do like.... do like much... Seriously I almost went with Raptors and you make them look tempting.

[Lorenzen]

Very nice looking army one of the best raptor forces ive seen in a long time.

 

However I cant get past the fact that the inquisitors arms are on backwards its making my soul cry out in pain

[PaintMyBits]

Thought you meant the hands. i had to do that to get the right angle for the psycannon to fit.  i will add pturges to cover the elbows

[deathspectersgt7]

Like how you kitted out your Raptors.

[PaintMyBits]

Funnily enough Lorenzen you are the only guy to notice this so far. Apologies for your soul and I shall attempt to soothe it's crying when I finish work. :)

[PaintMyBits]

Next build stage for my raptors will be another bike squad.  These guys will be jet bikes though so if i want to run a CM on bike i have a nice squad worthy of Lias.  plus it will just differentiate between the other bike squad a lot so there is no confusion should the two squads be zooming about together on the board.
