jeremy1391 Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 With the start of yet another March of legions challenge I've decided to make a small 1000 point force of heresy era raven guard. So far I've made my HQ which will be a vigilator. Here he is http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a148/jeremy1391/Mobile%20Uploads/1189FBA1-24A0-4458-B71F-F55B80384DB8_zps5a6v4yhs.jpg http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a148/jeremy1391/Mobile%20Uploads/73429EDB-4F1C-4996-A557-4FE0D767F59E_zpsqipf36ol.jpg[/url http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a148/jeremy1391/Mobile%20Uploads/1C12D187-E611-4BBA-BEC1-1270F98887AA_zpskfz2z5vj.jpg http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a148/jeremy1391/Mobile%20Uploads/9AEB1792-DBF7-40DB-877C-F9578FB3EB4B_zpsqpngary2.jpg http://s10.photobucket.com/user/jeremy1391/media/Mobile%20Uploads/D62598F4-06BA-4774-A596-01BC6666ED0D_zpscdju98t9.jpg.html]http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a148/jeremy1391/Mobile%20Uploads/D62598F4-06BA-4774-A596-01BC6666ED0D_zpscdju98t9.jpg I plan to flesh this force out by adding 2 ten man tactical squads 1 five man tactical support squad with plasma guns 1 ten man veteran squad 2 apothecaries.

BLOODSAINT Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 Very intimidating, and I daresay, even a bit stylish?

Firepower Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 Pretty neat. There are some cool smoky shades on the black that I'm currently trying to figure out, but a few of the sharp edge highlights are a touch messy. Excellent work on the face, as well.

jeremy1391 Posted December 2, 2014 Author Share Posted December 2, 2014 Firepower. I appreciate the words and yea my line highlights need some work. I'm probably gonna hit this guy up again around the edges for some clean up, first time I've done line highlighting in like a year lol. Slave to darkness, that my friend is a bipod, but leggy stand thingy has a good ring to it. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/299925-the-start-of-something-dark-jeremy1391s-heresy-era-ravens/#findComment-3877505 Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeremy1391 Posted December 2, 2014 Author Share Posted December 2, 2014 Of course he has a chain! Can't go losing that precious sniper rifle now can he! Fluff reasons is the weapon is from the Kiavhar weapon forges, and was used in an attempt to assassinate corax during his rebellion, the chain is a tie in to the prisoners of Deliverance casting off the chains of their overlords and overcoming the impossible. Corax gifted it to my vigilator after he reunited with the 19th because reasons (still gotta write up the fluff) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/299925-the-start-of-something-dark-jeremy1391s-heresy-era-ravens/#findComment-3877709 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firepower Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 What more do you need to write than "because reasons?" Works for me. :lol: Symbolic broken chains could make for a fun, subtle theme throughout the army, rather than a one-off for this fellow.

jeremy1391 Posted December 3, 2014 Author Share Posted December 3, 2014 Now that you mention it I can see that lol. Might have to tone down the green a smidge.

hushrong Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 I like it! Very stealthy which is fitting for Raven Guard and for a sniper save for the scope. I'd imagine it being a much darker green that would be non reflective. Aside from that I do think the glowing scope looks really good on the mini.

jeremy1391 Posted December 5, 2014 Author Share Posted December 5, 2014 I'm probably going to darken the scope using a dark green ink.

hushrong Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Is it the lighting? In the dark picture it looks superb. Honestly, if you are happy with it keep it as is.

Psy-Crow Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Nice to see you joining the folds of the best chapter (thats right BnC, come at me) Is that a green stuff hood on his head? Nice conversion dude, I've got something similar on my desk atm, glaring at me, taunting me. His unpainted plastic eyes piercing mine into my very soul. whoops, I let the crazy out :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/299925-the-start-of-something-dark-jeremy1391s-heresy-era-ravens/#findComment-3880504 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremy1391 Posted December 5, 2014 Author Share Posted December 5, 2014 No the hood is from the dark Angels bike squad. I think it fits nicely.

Firepower Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 Seems a good deal sloppier than the last guy. Before I really nitpick it to death (or as other folks call it 'critique'), is this just a quick mock up, or a proper attempt? The black shading (not the edge highlights) in particular isn't nearly as subtle.
