RayJ Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 It's been a long while since I've done much of any hobby related stuff. Played some games and kept up on Marines in general, but very little painting, modeling etc. This year I'm going all in on my Ravenwing collection. I'm gonna be expanding it with some more speeders and fliers, but I've already got an impressive backlog to work on. This first post will serve as an index for the WIP and finished images to keep track of the project. There's a lot of stuff coming, and I'm very excited to be painting again! Here's a list of what's to come!Sammael on Corvex Interrogator Chaplain Librarian 1 Librarian 2 Librarian 3 Librarian 4 Librarian 5 Techmarine RW Command Squad - Champion - Standard Bearer - Apothecary (WIP) - Grenade Launcher - BK 1 - BK 2 RW Black Knights 1 - Huntsmaster - BK 1 - BK 2 RW Black Knights 3 - Huntsmaster - BK 1 - BK 2 RW Black Knights 3 - Huntsmaster - BK 1 - BK 2 RW Bikes 1 - Sergeant - Biker 1 - Biker 2 RW Bikes 2 - Sergeant - Biker 1 - Biker 2 RW Bikes 3 - Sergeant - Biker 1 - Biker 2 RW Bikes 4 - Sergeant - Biker 1 - Biker 2 RW Bikes 5 - Sergeant - Biker 1 - Biker 2 RW Bikes 6 - Sergeant - Biker 1 - Biker 2 Attack Bike 1 Attack Bike 2 Attack Bike 3 Attack Bike 4 Attack Bike 5 Attack Bike 6 RW Support Squadron - Vengeance/Darkshroud - Typhoon 1 - Typhoon 2 - Typhoon 3 And more to come!

RayJ Posted January 4, 2016 Author Share Posted January 4, 2016 This dude was done quite a while ago, but remains the only guy completed in the whole force, He was the test mini before I stopped putting a lot of time into the hobby side of things. Good news though, his friends are going to be joining him ASAP! WIP pictures for the next guy are incoming! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayJ Posted January 4, 2016 Author Share Posted January 4, 2016 Here is the guy I've been working on this week in my spare time. He's getting close to completion. Still not happy with the shoulderpad at the moment. Mostly OSL and dirt effects to come after a few smaller details are picked out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzhands Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 Looking good. I really like how much green you have included. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayJ Posted January 4, 2016 Author Share Posted January 4, 2016 It's my successor chapter. Black is primary with green as the secondary. Bone and purple and silver accents finish everything out. Took a while to find a scheme I was happy with. I painted my deathwing 3 times before settling o. It :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RayJ Posted January 4, 2016 Author Share Posted January 4, 2016 Angels of Darkness. Not very original, but it serves it's purpose :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kr80gZ Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Wow! That will keep you busy! Love the colour scheme and the dusty look. I'm a sucker for weathering and dirt. :) Don't forget that ETL is set to start in a few month's time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzhands Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Inspires me to finish all my ravenwing to a higher standard this year. I may have been distracted by grey knights (for shame) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gillyfish Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Welcome back RayJ! That's quite a lot of stuff to paint, but I really like the weathered and gritty look you've achieved. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight Angels Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Dude that is a lifetime-job, at least it would be for me. Go for drybrushing black to save massive time!!! Seriously, it will also look more realistic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayJ Posted January 5, 2016 Author Share Posted January 5, 2016 I definitely dry brush the black. Eshin gray, then dawnstone. Most of the colors are drybrushed up for the highlights. It looks great and isn't as time consuming. I'm a little bit frustrated that the new citadel drybrushes are so much larger. I'm going to need to find or make something smaller for the details. Also, the list looks massive, but most of the ordinary bikes are very close to done from when I worked on them 2 years ago. I did a lot of jumping around between models to keep from being bored. More pics incoming today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayJ Posted January 5, 2016 Author Share Posted January 5, 2016 Here's a group shot of the basic RW bikers when I started work on them a couple of years back. You can see that 12 of the bikes and 2 of the attack bikes are getting very close to being done. I'm just focusing on the command squad right now because I use it more than any other unit I own Edit: Oops! Picture: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raziel-TX Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Fan of the color scheme. Keep up the great work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mexiterp Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Question: what disciplines do you roll on for your Librarians? I just started a RW army and plan to try out 3 new Libs this weekend. Trying to decide what to roll on. Hoping to get some thoughts... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayJ Posted January 19, 2016 Author Share Posted January 19, 2016 If I'm only running 1, it's Interromancy. Sometimes I roll a 2nd on Interromancy. Then I spread things around. Nice to have spells are 4++, Invisibility, hammerhand, +1 invuln, Shrouding, prescience. Basically buffs to multiply the strength of my command squad. I think divination, telepathy, and sanctic give the best bang on those fronts. Pyro has some nice utility. That 4+ cover for nothing is solid, especially when combined with shrouded Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnakeChisler Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 1/ Interomancy 2/ Divination Both these dovetail with the biker squads and don't have really weak powers Avoid Telepathy there is 1 good power (Shrouding) on it and 1 game changer / broken (Invisibility) Psychic shriek is ok against the right opponent but its witch fire so you have to role to hit so if he's on a bike your struggling (Jink). Telekenisis Yea whatever 3/ Santic - if your running a conclave this is a neat one (Hammerhand Cleansing Flame etc) & against deamons its useful Pyro - good for small games with some decent stuff on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayJ Posted January 20, 2016 Author Share Posted January 20, 2016 I find psychic shriek pretty useful, especially vs big nasties Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
