Dracos Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 First I’m thinking we need a Raven Guard painting event at the end of September and ending on Halloween. I’m thinking an HQ choice :) Any one interested? If so leave send me a PM and I’ll make a list with contestants and more details if we get enough interest. The new supplement has me excited to get a couple HQs done after I finish my Intercessors. I think it’s time Shadow Captain Corvin Kestrel <Kayvaan Shrike> hit the modeling mat. Don’t expect much :) I’ll be using a Inceptor model with a lightning claws as the basic components. Okay that said I know I’m not buying anything specific beside to Impulsors until the book comes out. I want to test the book using First Wave Primaris models before grabbing the Vanguard Wave of Phobos units (except the Librarian. Just looked to cool not to). The new book screams “Build with a plan in mind”. I have a feeling I have just a tad too many Hellblasters, Aggressors, and maybe even too many Intercessors. I don’t want to convert Reivers to Scouts so I’m holding off on those but by Corax Infiltrators/Intercessors are pricey. I’m very curious if the book has rules in the Raven’s Panoply for the Companies of Shadow and Strike Force Shrike? If so I plan on building my list around the former and adding the latter for fun. We really need to formulate a finesse build that is layers deep. As someone else mentioned more moving parts means more points of failure. I couldn’t agree more. So I think we should keep discussing ways to simplify and optimize .... as soon as we get the book in our hands. I’ll be going to my mind palace for a few days after the release.

Shadow Captain Vyper Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 You kind of have two topics rolled into one here: A painting event suggestion (I like) and discussion of future builds based on the content shared so far (I also like). I think taking the discussion on optimization list-wise is maybe a bit fruitless at this point until we have the new book though. I agree with SG and others that I think we will continue to see strong Strategems (and Relics/WL/Umbramancy) that will flesh out our options!

thewarriorhunter Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 I have you look at what's in backlog. I just finished a round of 4 HQs so I'm a bit burned on them and need to build out the rest of my army. I'm still in the fence about purchasing Shrike or converting my own.

MithrilForge Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 Maybe have the comp but run it as a pick your selection type deal.. As in choose from a H.Q.,troop (battleline),elite etc choice and maybe frater can compete within their chosen selection..

golfdeltafoxtrot Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 I've got some ideas for converting a Phobos character or two, so I'm in.

Claws and Effect Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 Does Corax count as an HQ choice? Because I have him primed but haven't put paint on him yet.

mertbl Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 Isnt primer paint? I know what you meant. Does Corax count as an HQ choice?

duz_ Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 I was just thinking the same thing this morning Dracos and didn't see this thread yesterday. Sounds perfect in going have to paint up my Primaris Shrike at some point ;) Corax would certainly seem to fit the bill for me C&E. Plus general painting rules allow for the model being primed at the time of pledging.

Dracos Posted September 11, 2019 Author Share Posted September 11, 2019 Off or on the sprue like Duz said is good. That would include any primer color paint. I’ll look into setting up at dates I figure will start a week after the supplement hits he sheves if that sounds good to everyone? I think we’re going to find a lot of love in the HQ section considering some of our special abilities and that’s just what we’ve had a peek at I have this picture of the Phobos Librarian slingshotting Gravis Captain and or Chaplain to the aid of a Lt. and his boys dropping in T2 Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/358350-shrike-tember-discussions/#findComment-5386607 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archon_77 Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 I'm in for both! I'll be getting a Shrike and I also have a Smash Captain kit bash primed that's been in my to do for about a month.... I'd love some accountability from the team. I'd also love a feedback post on lists/tactics since I've picked up the game again for 8th and am transitioning back to my First army from Grey Knights.

thewarriorhunter Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 so thinking about this... I do have a jump pack chaplain in a blister... maybe I'll paint that up for this. I might even look and throwing the bits onto a primaris body so it's scaled up a bit... Edit: I might also look into building a smash captain. Never had one of those but I've got some VV bits that I could use.

Dracos Posted September 11, 2019 Author Share Posted September 11, 2019 I’ll start a separate thread for the event with details. Just assume ETL rules as far as prep. I primer and paint off the sprue myself. Hands just don’t have the finesse they use to. Start date will be 28th and run for until Halloween night. :) That gives us all almost a month to recharge from ETL or in my case using the event as a push to make me get the Intercessors table ready. I think I might do some detail on the Aggressors if I don’t procrastinate too much lol Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/358350-shrike-tember-discussions/#findComment-5386644 Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewarriorhunter Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 So... I guess I'll go for a Jump Chaplain and a Smash Captain? Blisters are still new and sealed so they should have that new-finecast-smell.

Claws and Effect Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 Nevermind. I'm painting the new Shrike for it. If he's anywhere near as good as the Iron Hands guy I want him on the table ASAP.

longjohnsilver Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 I've got loads of HQ choices but will be careful to only vow one.. So .. if everybody hates the new Shrike's bare head .. I might need one of you fine Shadow Captains to mail it to me so I can make a new jump-pack captain for my reserve companies.

MajorNese Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 As said, I'll have to see how much time is left - after all, it's just 3,5 weeks to build/paint an AoP board, and stock up on my AdMech primaris guys. Or would Feirros also count? Not RG, but that guy has to be on the display board, so he has priority.

Brother Quixote Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 So... I guess I'll go for a Jump Chaplain and a Smash Captain? Blisters are still new and sealed so they should have that new-finecast-smell. Hidden Content I have exactly the same two models to get done, coincidentally. The chaplain strikes me as a suitable model to begin to make amends for my ETL failiure. Count me in for any painting events.

Which I am slightly regretful of now, since Chaplains are worth taking again.
