Hiro's Raptors Chapter Project

[Hiroitchi]

So I have finished my 6x4 Table that is more or less a Raptors Theme Table using Forgeworld tiles. I'll have different options for a display for Armies on Parade for my boys. But here is a mock battle I put together recently using two of my Army lists. Enjoy.

Beautiful!

[Bjorn Firewalker]

A fine army. I also commend your work on the fortifications.

[thewarriorhunter]

That smoke is awesome!

[Shadow Captain Vyper]

You hauled all of your battle tiles (AND TWO ARMIES) to your FLGS? You absolute madlad!

 

(Looks great btw)

 

Has anyone asked if these are FW official or eastern reproductions?

[Hiroitchi]

 

Beautiful!

 

I appreciate it Duz, maybe one of these days you can get to play on them.

Which one? My Knights or my Raptors. lol. I kid I kid. But in all seriousness, thank you.

Thanks, the power of youtube. very inexpensive to make. Overall you can make a bunch of these under 10 bucks sans the spray paint.

Thanks man. Yes these are FW official. I haven't seen any reproductions. Still working on the Refinery tile. I made a few modifications to it so that I dont have to buy another stair and platforms box.

So Its been what over a month since I posted anything. I needed the Armiger legs back from my Deredeo Dreadnought conversion to make a Moriax Conversion. I still want a Deredeo Dread so I wnt back to my bits box and found the ETB legs of a Redempotor Dread, reversed it and repurposed it. Here it is guys. enjoy.

[Hiroitchi]

Its been months since I have posted anything with my Raptors so given what is revealed if you remember my attack bike conversions awhile back.. well it payed off. So with the Invader ATV revealed I changed out the heavy bolter with a Gatling cannon and voila, my very own Invader ATV conversion.

validation on Equipment lol

I used the spare Taurox Gatling guns, cut it in half and replaced the heavy bolter tip I had

Now I just need to paint the upgrade and yeap three Invader ATV conversions done. lol the other two didn't need any updates.

Hope you guys like this and since the new models are releasing in the near future, cant wait to get ahold of the rules for these bad boys. Enjoy!

UPDATE: Just finished painting the gatling gun

Great job on the "counts as" Invader ATVs. If my own modeling skills are up to snuff, I'll try kitbashing Armiger warsuit carapaces the way you did; the armored cockpit looks much better than the Games Workshop model's exposed crew positions, which scream, "Shoot me! I'm right over here!" to me.

You got that changed done quick.....I saw you were thinking about it on fb then bam done

You can do it man, I thought I couldnt do it myself

Yeah I know, when the announcement hit and I watched it, I stopped halfway through 2 tanks of my Astra Militarum Project. I then went through my bits and took progress pictures. Posted it and while I was posting, I can paint that quick. Then Voila.. done in under an 20 mins.

[Hiroitchi]

So I decided to take better pictures of my Invader ATV conversion.

Now here is hoping for a smash captain...

[Dracos]

I’m hoping a alarm is right and we get Assault Inceptors soon ish. Primaris Smash Captain would have to follow right?

It looks like a Vulture BattleMech...

Why yes that was the intent. Glad you noticed.

Still think your assault bike conversions are some of the most unique and excellent looking models for that role I’ve seen in, well, forever!

Hiro is one crazy modeler. I’m following his fb and ig pages just so I don’t miss his crazy building speed and painting like his marauder bomber

Hey thanks War009, I appreciate that. I try to do my best. Yeah I'm getting better with my speed and quality. lol. I am learning alot of new and different techniques. who knows I might just apply what I learned to my Raptors and update them for 9th. Theyve been the same since 5th edition. Now that I have moved from scouts to a Primaris only collection I might get rid of my firstborn stuff i.e. the rest of my scouts.

I love the mods to the marauder. The storm raven turner was ingenious

Thanks man. I guess my raptors are getting reinforcements. I picked up my indomitus box and stoked to use the Outrider Bikes Now to try and fit them on my list.
