betrayer41 Posted October 18, 2017 Author Share Posted October 18, 2017 Thanks guys: @ Dantay: I really appreciate that, I thought the white was too white my first go around so i mixed black and purple and thinned it down to a colored water consistency and it where the shadows would be. I think it really made the rest of the whites pop! @Sagentus: Thanks man, much appreciated, i REALLY want to used butchers in 40k just wasn't sure how and for the longest time i was too scared to chop em up....but i think its turning out pretty well so far Man, that Lord... Very nice indeed.I'm not a fan of the base models but they sure make for great conversion fodder, it's a shame they're not used more often I agree. I love the models themselves i just hate the forced poses and arm angles. I orded individual butchers off of ebay so i could control what arms i get. I am spending wayyy to much for this conversion army haha.

DuskRaider Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 You just keep cranking out amazing models, dude. Just do me a favor and don't drown them in blood or something, you don't want to lose those awesome colors you've used.

Pearson73 Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Really nice paintwork and solid kitbashing, as others have said, the white and red work so well together.

betrayer41 Posted October 24, 2017 Author Share Posted October 24, 2017 Thanks fellas, i really feel like im in the zone and now that i am done testing out schemes and stressing i am having alot of fun with these. @Dusk: Nope not covered in blood, I have never been a fan of that, more so on their weapins and splattered on armor Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/335516-betrayer41%E2%80%99s-40k-log-new-whitered-recipe-121123/page/6/#findComment-4916315 Share on other sites More sharing options...

betrayer41 Posted October 24, 2017 Author Share Posted October 24, 2017 Just do what i'm doing and make em late heresy. I will have some full blown red WE as well as well as more chaosy stuff. Since the WE changing colors wasn't due to them painting their armor or anything but rather them just not cleaning blood off i figured i can have red/white as well as red in my army.

betrayer41 Posted October 25, 2017 Author Share Posted October 25, 2017 (edited) A lot of priming and base layers. Leviathan http://i.imgur.com/J4yqr4V.jpg And a more chaos land raider http://i.imgur.com/U5mnSIX.jpg These are my “destroyers”/raptors. Bear with me here. These guys were destroyers during the Heresy and crusade. However as time went on the the butchers nails made them More and more mad as well as their rad weapons taking their tole. They slowly stopped fulfilling their duties and went the way of most World eaters. Abandoned their weapons and roles for chain blades and pistols. http://i.Imgur.com/WFO5C2m.jpg http://i.imgur.com/tN4FqEA.jpg http://i.imgur.com/Ch2FXEM.jpg http://i.imgur.com/Ch2FXEM.jpg http://i.imgur.com/Kpi847R.jpg Edited October 25, 2017 by betrayer41 DuskRaider 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/335516-betrayer41%E2%80%99s-40k-log-new-whitered-recipe-121123/page/6/#findComment-4916739 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sagentus Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 That levi is coming along nicely. Look forward to seeing how the LR turns out too. But I am most excited about the concept of the “destroyers”/raptors, very inivative and Ill be eagerly waiting to see how they come on Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/335516-betrayer41%E2%80%99s-40k-log-new-whitered-recipe-121123/page/6/#findComment-4916835 Share on other sites More sharing options...
betrayer41 Posted October 25, 2017 Author Share Posted October 25, 2017 Thanks Mate, question, i dont have the codex yet and I haven't played 40k in 5 plus years. How can you kit out raptors? Also im starting to think it would look better to have them actually holding chain swords rather than them having the chainswords on their back. Really give them that assault quad feel Sagentus 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/335516-betrayer41%E2%80%99s-40k-log-new-whitered-recipe-121123/page/6/#findComment-4917046 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lhorke The First Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 betrayer41 these minis are awesome. Your work has been a huge inspiration to my Scouring-era World Eaters, which are getting a similar paint scheme to what you are using. Is your plan to be able to use at least part of your army for either 30k or 40k? Keep it up!

Unforuntately i know of very little 30k in the ATL area. So i plan on running 40k lists but as close to a legion list as possible. Not ALOT of demons or chaosy stuff. I have spartans rhinos land raider anvillus stuff like that. I just need to learn about 40k list building and what not haha Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/335516-betrayer41%E2%80%99s-40k-log-new-whitered-recipe-121123/page/6/#findComment-4917076 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sagentus Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 As a general pro qou - a squad of 5 raptors can have up to 2 special weapons (plasma/flamer/melta) and the squad commander can have Power fist or power weapon with bolt/plasma pistol. For my squad of 5 i have 2 with chainsword/BP, 2 plasmaguns and champ with PF/BP atm (I have not glued the plasma's on so can easily change them out) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/335516-betrayer41%E2%80%99s-40k-log-new-whitered-recipe-121123/page/6/#findComment-4917109 Share on other sites More sharing options...
betrayer41 Posted October 25, 2017 Author Share Posted October 25, 2017 (edited) What about Combi Plasmas? Also can anyone duel wield pistols? Like a Moritat?

betrayer41 Posted October 25, 2017 Author Share Posted October 25, 2017 Added chain weapons. What do you guys think of the packs? Theow back to original raptors?

DuskRaider Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 They seem a little... underwhelming, if I'll be honest. Too small, IMO. It's a shame you can't get your hands on the older Raptor jump packs, those were the cat's meow. Barring that, perhaps Mk. II jump packs? The thing is, Primaris are so much larger than regular Marine models, so Mk. IV jump packs, which barely fit to the Marine model as it is, are just dwarfed by the huge Primaris.

Sagentus Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 I recon if the jump packs were a bit bigger they would look a lot more menacing. Also, champ can have combi weapon, he can also have dual plasma. The normal raptors are allowed 2 with plasma pistols, but you would have to swap out the melta/plasma gunners to do so. You should download battlescribe, thats all i have atm, but it helps to make lists and look at load outs ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/335516-betrayer41%E2%80%99s-40k-log-new-whitered-recipe-121123/page/6/#findComment-4917618 Share on other sites More sharing options...
betrayer41 Posted October 26, 2017 Author Share Posted October 26, 2017 Thanks guys! yall nailed it. Soemthing felt very off, the packs are definitely too small. I am just going to use MKII packs. I know there is a 3rd party that makes MKII and the common complaint was they were too big so they should be perfect for these guys. Any other suggetions.
