Ishagu Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 The Lord Protector Guilliman has requested assistance from the Mechanicus, and they have provided him with the mighty war engines of House Raven in order to crush all enemies of the Imperium that stand before him. ...Just wanted to share a picture of my house Raven Knight detachment. I intend to grow the force, but I might instead build up a Mechanicus army as I have a Cawl model in my queue that could lend a hand.

Axineton Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 Fantastic stuff Ishagu! How did you do the muddy bases and bits of grass if you don’t mind me asking?

Ishagu Posted August 17, 2018 Author Share Posted August 17, 2018 The bases are literally the texture paste, painted in Mournfang Brown, dry brushed in Rakarth Flesh, and the grass is just the GW grass on some PVA glue applied around! I then go around the base outline in black to make it neat and the effect looks great whilst not distracting from the model.

Gstealer Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 Those look really nice! Is that metallic red or just the lighting? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/349662-house-raven-force-growing/#findComment-5147201 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishagu Posted August 17, 2018 Author Share Posted August 17, 2018 It's Metallic indeed. Really stands out. The red is not my handy work so don't ask me how it was done lol Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/349662-house-raven-force-growing/#findComment-5147209 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magos Takatus Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 Those are some excellent models. Nice work. The metallic red and the industrial stripes look great together.

Ishagu Posted August 20, 2018 Author Share Posted August 20, 2018 OK guys, can I get some advice? It wouldn't take too many purchases to push these Knights into a full AdMech army, especially as I already own Cawl. Tell me, how does this list look? HQ: -Belisarius Cawl, Warlord -Techpriest Engineseer, Pater Cog Tooth Troops: -10 Vanguard, Radium Carbines -10 Vanguard, Radium Carbines -10 Vanguard, Radium Carbines -5 Rangers, Alpha with Arc Maul and Arc Pistol, 2 Arc Rifles Heavy Support: -4 Kastellans, 2 with Fists and Heavy Phosphor Blasters, 2 with Twin Heavy Phosphor Blasters and Heavy Phosphor Blasters Imperial Knights: -Knight Castellan, Cawl's Wrath, Ion Bulwark -Knight Armiger, Melta Gun -Knight Armiger, Melta Gun Any advice would be appreciated. The Ranger Alpha has all that gear simply because I had points spare Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/349662-house-raven-force-growing/#findComment-5149251 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Reinhard Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 "Knight Armiger" is not specific enough. You'll have to specify its Armiger Warglaives, as you could make Armiger Helverins with meltaguns if you wished. Not the feedback you wanted perhaps, but I'm not nearly as knowledgable about Admech as I am about knights.

brother_b Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 If arm my ranger alpha with a rifle. If you're going to be using the TA you'll probably be sitting in the backfield. With the rifle you'll be able to contribute shots at range.

Lazy Soldier Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 For your Kastalleans, are you planning to go 2 squads or run those 4 as one squad? Mixing the weapons in a 4 man squad is pretty tough with these guys as their weapon loadouts do entirely different things. I guess you could go with the fists and the phosphor on top but that just semms like a waste. I they are two squads that would make sense as the fist ones can catch people off guard for sure. Other than that looks pretty good, the vanguard might struggle in 10 man squads due to low leadership, but they will look really cool for sure, especially if they are painted as well as your knights.

DeStinyFiSh Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Realy nice looking figures there ! Regarding your list: You should think about Data Tethers for the Vanguards. With the Robots it is pretty much like Lazy Soldier said. Mixing is not a good idea. If you want to get most out of Cawl, I would recommend 4 Dakka Bots (which is a bit boring to be honest). If maxing out the list it not what you are looking for, 2 Dakka and 2 Fists are perfectly fine.
