rudeboy134 Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 (edited) I've been away from 40K for about 15 years, used to work at a hobby shop and painted and played quite a bit back then but when the store like a lot of others had to close down in the early 00s I left the hobby. But I've always wanted to come back to it and with 8th I decided to come back. The last 2 months I've been working away at a 2000pts Raptors army, going for a Special forces recon vibe to it and mainly going infantry with only 2 Razorbacks as support. I just finished basing the majority of the army except for 3 Scout Squads that a friend of mine is putting decals on as I can't for the life of me make those work. But other than that I'm done! Thought I'd share my HQ and 2 Sternguard squads, the Reiver helmets are a tribute to Seal Team 3 and the 24th Infantry regiment. Considering I hadn't modelled or painted anything for about 15 years, I'm pretty happy with the way they turned out!

smbarne Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 Fantastic modeling! I'm loving the additions you've made. Pouches, silencers, recon backpacks - all very Raptor-esque. The bases are good to! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/340965-raptors-recon-force-alpha/#findComment-4922378 Share on other sites More sharing options...

MithrilForge Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 ahhh ummm, relevance to the topic?... i know you gave a like but the vid is just so random and nothing to do with his nice looking recon raptors force with cool pouches and an awesome idea of using The Reiver's helmet with non primaris marines!

SanguinaryGuardsman Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 The Recon Raptors have skull helmets... which kind of makes them the baddies?

thewarriorhunter Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 I love the idea of the pouches everywhere. I always wondered about grenades though... if it get's hit wouldn't it explode?

duz_ Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 Welcome back dude! 8th is a great spot to pick back up. :) Those guys look great! Where'd the pouches come from? Apparently theres a Testors product that helps get those suckers on. A quick forum / google search should give you the product name. Its only a few bucks. Bigger pics next time! These are for ants! ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/340965-raptors-recon-force-alpha/#findComment-4924227 Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudeboy134 Posted November 4, 2017 Author Share Posted November 4, 2017 Thank you everyone! The pouches are from the tactical squad and the scout squad. I tried a couple of methods and they are my kryptonite! You can click on them for bigger versions I think duz_ 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/340965-raptors-recon-force-alpha/#findComment-4924246 Share on other sites More sharing options...
