WAR Posted September 29, 2016 Author Share Posted September 29, 2016 2 week update.....I got the black (fatigues, hair, and parts to be metalic) on the 3 of the 4 remaining scout members of Squad Helios. Don't know when I'llget around to them again. I need to get cracking on My Deathwatch vow (have to build 4 more models, prime paint, and base and I'll have the cassius box set, converted artemis model and a Venerable dreadnought done for them) that needs to be done by Nov. 12th. I will really try to get pics of them... Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/323795-wars-raven-guard-raptors/page/2/#findComment-4515350 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deliverance Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 These all look great! You found just the right amount of customization for your army to look great, and I think the Predator looks great. It really has a WWII-era feel for me, with the sandbags. I could easily imagine a couple scouts laying prone on the hull of the tank, returning fire. Anyways, keep up the good work and happy hobbying!

Race Bannon Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Yes, pics :tu: Side note: been eyeing Deathwatch as well. Man, if only you could have a Deathwatch Vet in a non-Deathwatch army and have him mean something.

jpwyrm Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 Cool scheme you got there War009. It's simple yet quite effective. I like the shot with scale comparison with the chaplain. I should kick my own but and get to painting models, my lack of will would be severely punished by those keeper of the faith! Good job!

WAR Posted October 5, 2016 Author Share Posted October 5, 2016 Thanks Yak. I'll get around to them eventually. It is my busy time of the year with 501st Legion Star Wars costuming club, so paint time is at premium. Plus I have to finish my Deathwatch vow by the 12 of November. I really want to get both the DW and Raptors done so I can try to get a game in.

WAR Posted February 13, 2017 Author Share Posted February 13, 2017 First things first: Since I have joined the Talon's Reach- An Armory Building Event expect to see updates on my Predator soon.... Second I am planning on building a 200 pt "Raptors" squad for Kill team....ok so I ordered all the parts already The models will be built out of B@C Mk IVs Parts I am Adding are: Raptor Shoulder pads Comms Backpack Knives Various sternguard and Deathwatch bits, Various bare heads, and sternguard heavy bolter. What I am trying to decide on is taking them as on of these options: -Sternguard (and getting to use the Raptors Chapter tactics) with as 7 man team sgt with a power sword melta bomb, dude with combi melta, and dude with a heavy bolter - Using the Deathwatch Kill team Rules (mission tactics.... ) as a 7 man squad with the same gear but add a deathwatch shotgun, and Stalker bolter. They will be painted similar to this scheme and one marine will be kneeling (Stalker pattern bolter).

MajorNese Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 The level of detail on the predator is amazing, and gives me quite a few ideas for mine. As a side note, have you ever tried making camo netting? I hear there's a way to make it out of bandages, but haven't tried it yet.

WAR Posted February 14, 2017 Author Share Posted February 14, 2017 The level of detail on the predator is amazing, and gives me quite a few ideas for mine. As a side note, have you ever tried making camo netting? I hear there's a way to make it out of bandages, but haven't tried it yet. Camo netting is easy. Hardest part is finding the right Cotton Gauze (not stretchy elastic, no medication etc). One like this is perfect (from the pictures). 1- Cut an estimated length/ Size 2- Place on vehicle adjusting size and location as needed 3- Remove netting 4- Soak in PVA/ white/ elmers glue/ water mix 5- re drape over vehicle 6- let dry 7- paint I have a Crimson Fist Predator my friends call "T-55" that has camo netting and some other features...I never finished painting it. I'll try to get pics tonight Predator is looking great, love all the extended operations detailing. Thanks, that's the theme I am going for.
