WAR's Raven Guard & Raptors

[WAR]

Paint scheme is from Luther at the Mighty Brush website using vallejo paints through an airbrush and brushing,  I love the scout models Bruce Campbell chin and all. I still have soem pewter ones probably @ 20 or so, and probably 20 or so plastic ones still to build if I get around to adding those to the army. I need to build my other 6 scout bikes and land speeders storms for the scout portion of the 10th.

I have a horde of pewter models that belonged to my friend and his dad (about 20 old school terminators, tons of scouts, vanguard vets and even an old vindicare assassin + plus a few tanks). They haven't touched the hobby in over a decade so they gave it all to me. There were even some Rougue Trader marines in the box. I don't think my brain could handle so many of one type of model to paint.I admire your dedication to the 10th theme.

Thanks by the end of this army it will be majority 10th company’s scouts and vanguard marines. I am planning on adding other companies like the 1st cause I love Sternguard and other elite troops, 5th Demi co all first born vehicle crews (land speeder pilots) tactical squads, and dev squad , 6th Primaris intercessors, 8th for close support elements like outriders and inceptors, and 9 for hell blasters and gravis suits

[Sergeant_Angle]

Damn how many points roughly do you own? And I love sternguard dearly.The old models for them are just classic.

[WAR]

Lots.....lol

 

I honestly have no clue...but probably more than I should have. Total points for the imperium probably over 40,000 pts if I built and painted everything I own.

 

Years ago I was building the 5th company of crimson fists (during 4e -6e) and it is the fully 5th co 100 marines plus command.

 

My sisters pre plastic was calculated over 13,000 pts if I built all the repressors I acquired a few editions ago.

 

My Raptors probably @ 9,000 pts or so

 

Grey knights @ 6,000 pts

 

Eventually I’ll start on Black Templars from Indomintus and then some Primaris I have slated for them So probably @ 2000 pts and imperial fists all Primaris force probably @ 2000 pts also

 

Plus I have 4 baby knights and 2 knights waiting to be built

Damn that's pretty insane. Speaking of crimson fists.. I love Pedro Kantors model, though I can't think of how i'd use him in my raptors.

I modeled a ‘count as’ Pedro a while back using the metal Sternguard MKVI pose that was striding forward; was easy to confer this arms. I’ll find him and post some pics if I can!

 

Really impressed with you dedication to the 10th co and all those scouts. Great inspiration for what I’m working on recently.

Thanks man. You are doing great too. Check out the Raptors Facebook group if you have not already.

So weekend is over so time for "What did WAR009 accomplish this weekend in 40k".

I finished blocking out the rest of the base colors for the weapons, grenades, boots, and hair, I need to do.

Then I started the wash process.

You're a machine!

 

/looks at tubs of piles of shame

[WAR]

I dont have a tube or pile of shame.....I have un built boxes of shame. Like 3+ plus armies worth of shame

[Yosef Hausakluif]

Looking good. That’s quite an undertaking, and I thought 10-20 marines at a go was tough!

Seriously though the chaplain is really sweet, great use of bits and pose.

Did I see a master of signals helm on one of the primaris infiltrators? I was thinking of doing the same; how’s it fit?

[WAR]

Actually that is just the Master of Signals count as Company Ancient. I have plans to make a primaris version but in Phobos armor using infiltrator bits.

 

Chaplain is one of my favorite models I have made over the years. All plastic MK IV marine parts, Crozius from the Plastic Mk IV chaplain, sternguard head, probably a grey knight hand, crux from terminators, FW Melta bomb and Night Lords Helmet.

Time for my Monday update.

Friday I started working on Veteran Sgt Helios and 5th Scout Squad along With 10th Co Chaplain Achmedes and I ended the day with the basign drying.

After picking up my Indomitus box and looking through everything and pulling the necrons out for a friend I was spliting it with I got back to work on my scouts.

And then I realized I have to update my librarian's base to match the others.

After they were done I jumped into the next units. 10th Co Scout LT, and Veteran Sgt Tomez and 9th scout squad

I was going to work on them yesterday after MY GF and I went to a friends house to pick up our new Star Wars Props, but I ate some bad sandwhich meat and had an upset stoamach and ended up taking a 3 1/2 hour nap while she went to our friend's house.

Baby Bossak, which I am naming it Lika Bossak

and my GF's the Child

Both are custom made out of resin and sewn outfits and the maker actually has multiple characters he has done.

[Bjorn Firewalker]

You're a skilled painter. The Scouts look great.

[WAR]

thank you

Weekend update:

 

Raptors were undergoing stealth and concealment training for the 2nd week in a row. They are awaiting the Mortifactors 3rd Co to finishing mustering forces before making planet fall.

Edited August 10, 2020 by war009

[WAR]

Long time no update, mainly cause nothing to update. With the moving house, getting the new work area set up, not getting a Marine codex, I have not had an interest in working on my Raptors or Mortifactors. That compiled with the scouts moving to elites it kinda hampers my all scout army. I do have plans to eventually get back to work on them. But I have been focused my 7th Brotherhood of Grey Knights and Inquisitorial Forces and purchasing stuff for my Order of the Valorous Heart Adepta Sororitas army. Also I finally bite the bullet and purchased a Start Collecting Drukhari box from my local Warhammer store for Cult of Strife Wych army.

Here are is my 10 man Paladin Squad I recently built (need to do green stuff wax seals tonight)

You can see more of my 7th brotherhood here

So after watching a friend play the new Vanguard army from Vigilus Alone this past Saturday, and watching the farce of their Chapter tactic, I am playing on making my return to the Ravenspire, from my time aboard the black Ships and Titan.

I have recently ordered and impulsor and with what Phobos stuff I have primed and built (nothing has been done to them over the past few years) I have a 1000 pt list I'm gonna resume working on now the my Sally Forth Hobby Challenge is done....Thanks Duz for running I had fun, and inbetween my 12 Months of Hobbying vows

But I did pull the Raptors out of display case and throw them in the light box.

Completed Raptors

Ready to show these impersonators what the Raptors are capable of?

Looking forward to seeing more :D

[WAR]

Oh yeah.....

[War of the Eagle]

Your pulling Raptors out of retirement because the Vigilus rules are bad?

Your pulling Raptors out of retirement because the Vigilus rules are bad?

 

Yeah there are cool things in it but Ravenguard does it better and has more options. The Vangaurd Restriction does not allow Gladiators and Storm Speeders. Plus a big thing for me is my love of scouts and other units. So not being able to take scouts, scout bikes, Land Speeders or Predators makes my current collection a waste. 

 

Plus I have been paintning a ton of black reds, and silvers and need a break.
