PaintMyBits Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Finally got some final pics for the Raptors. Still have more to come, in the form of a storm talon, jet bikes, scouts and a fire raptor to bring them up to 1750. http://i688.photobucket.com/albums/vv247/Ladyboy07/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_216495228078531_zps2csmwnt8.jpeghttp://i688.photobucket.com/albums/vv247/Ladyboy07/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_216499538611992_zps0dy7qwsz.jpeghttp://i688.photobucket.com/albums/vv247/Ladyboy07/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_216481818940192_zpsznxcmny2.jpeghttp://i688.photobucket.com/albums/vv247/Ladyboy07/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_216490488424987_zpseogydifs.jpeghttp://i688.photobucket.com/albums/vv247/Ladyboy07/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_216605860537245_zpslyj4ylgt.jpeghttp://i688.photobucket.com/albums/vv247/Ladyboy07/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_216609013699538_zpsoqarknck.jpeghttp://i688.photobucket.com/albums/vv247/Ladyboy07/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_216611930047082_zpssl1x0hvw.jpeg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/289815-completed-raptors/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dosjetka Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 That Captain looks gorgeous. Great mix of bits! If you don't mind, I may steal that conversion and modify it a bit :) Really liking the look of the army as a whole, nice simple paint job coupled with some nice conversions :tu: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/289815-completed-raptors/#findComment-3657682 Share on other sites More sharing options...
battle captain corpus Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Very nice! Echo the comment about the Captain, good solid pose and paint jobs all round too. Well done!

Yogi Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Beautiful army. The captain is great, the suppressed bike bolters are great. The green is fantastic. The black helmets are great. You have even succeed in making centurions look good. Very impressed.

Flint13 Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 I love how you've tied all of these very different units together, using such a small color palette. The greens are super deep, and the little weathering touches make definitely make them believable as a force stuck behind enemy lines without resupply.

incinerator950 Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 All of the Raptor players around here are making me want to do a green camo'd force. :cussers.

Ratboy1664 Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 One of the best Rhino's ever. The whip antenna, the hazard stripes, the forgeworld doors I could go on. Stunning.

Cyrox Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Awesome! Love the military look of the raptors, and you've nailed it perfectly What base green is that?

PaintMyBits Posted April 20, 2014 Author Share Posted April 20, 2014 The three greens I've used are all vallejo model air and are Black green, Camp green, and light camo green. This has then had a very dilute black wash. And then edged in the light camo green.

BurnHeretic Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Nicely done, the whole force is very evocative and captures perfectly how I imagine the Raptors to be. So many nice little touches here and there, I think the bikers are my favourite unit, really liking the subtle little conversions/modifications. Great job, look forward to seeing more of your work.

reckoning Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 I hate centurions... But yours look amazing. Awesome force all around. The captain is one of the best I've scene.

This has then had a very dilute black wash. And then edged in the light camo green. How do you find the Vallejo model air paints to work with? I've gotten hilariously black and white reviews from everyone I've asked so far. Also, now that I look back over them, your color scheme looks like it would make an amazing pre-heresy Salamanders green as well.

PaintMyBits Posted April 21, 2014 Author Share Posted April 21, 2014 Recon 0321 - Lias is made from a legion praetor. With a legion vox pack, evanus enkomis head and the left arm off one of the gun crews on one of the rapier batteries. The bolter is a stock one with a piece of plastic tube for the suppressor and a fine chain for model ship building.

PaintMyBits Posted April 21, 2014 Author Share Posted April 21, 2014 Cyrox- not a problem. Go for it. Conversi I need process for the centurions is pretty simple. Terminate helmets of choice really. Get rid of the cod plates completely and replace with two with assault terminator cod plates on the thighs. And be for you glue the torso to the legs raise the height by a mm or 2 with GS or plastic tubing. Your choice.

Seathal Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Great army and great use of FW! I like the weathering and the gritty, Spartan feel of the whole army. I couldn't be the only one thinking that the Recon Squad is perfect for Raptor's Sternguard!
