TrawlingCleaner Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 (edited) A Loyalist Space Marine project? Eww! I'll be honest, I've been eyeing up a Primaris army for a good while now. I'm a big fan of Phobos armour, I love the special forces vibe and the way they look. The idea for this force is that it's entirely Phobos armoured, I don't like Gravis or any of the units that use it so I won't have to worry about them. Units that are normally MK10 like Bladeguard, Suppressors and Hellblasters will be converted into Phobos armour. The background of the chapter is that they are on the outer rim of Imperium space, fighting with the dregs of resources they have against the hordes of Xenos running rampant. Orks, 'nids, 'crons and small scale Chaos Excursions/mostly human revolts. They receive a distress beacon from a nearby ship with the Custodes seal but find it empty. It's the Torchbearer ship meant for another chapter somewhere else in the galaxy so decide to take the Primaris amrour, upgrades, tech etc for themselves as they're essentially running on fumes as a Chapter. They have to be smart with their deployments, only using small scale forces to drop in and complete specific missions, ie: Kill a warboss, destroy a 'nid gesstation pool etc. Even with these new Resources, they're very stretched across a large expanse with no real help. This can lead to long deployments and battered armour, not receiving reinforcements or resupplys for some time. I picked up the Phobos killteam as a great dip of the toe and loved painting these guys. This is the scheme I'll be going with going forward, I like the Asymmetrical colours being a nod to the other chapter that the Carrion Lords pilfered from. They're suitably battered of course: Edited January 3, 2023 by TrawlingCleaner Brother Clavero, R0adki11 and Gamiel 3 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/377001-carrion-lords-captain-completed/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrawlingCleaner Posted December 28, 2022 Author Share Posted December 28, 2022 What's next? I've had 10 reivers sat in a bits box for years so with the spare bits from the Killteam I managed to bump the Killteam numbers up to 10 incursors and 10 infiltrators. I've also built a Phobos captain, again from a model that's been sat in my bitsbox mixed with an old Khossoro Khan model (on a side note, I'm still sad they didn't make the Primaris Khan with the exact same Moonfang, I absolutely love the shape) The paint scheme is super quick and easy so it shouldn't be too long until these are both done! The next steps are going to be the Space Marine combat Patrol, Raven Guard Battleforces and a Gladiator!

duz_ Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 Raven Guard (and to a lesser extent their successors) are the best! Welcome to the Ravenspire TC can't wait to see more!

TrawlingCleaner Posted December 30, 2022 Author Share Posted December 30, 2022 Thank you both! I've been enjoying painting these guys a lot, so much so that I've blasted through the next 10 guys. These 10 give me enough to have 10 Infiltrators and 10 Incursors, they're made using Reiver bodies and left over bits from the Killteam The full 20 so far: The captain is up next!

TrawlingCleaner Posted January 2, 2023 Author Share Posted January 2, 2023 The Captain is done! Yet unnamed but suitably battered of course! I've gotten through all of the stuff I currently have and am waiting on the Start Collecting and Gladiator to arrive when the store has restocked. I'll be picking up the Raven guard Battleforce this week so I'll be building them up soon enough Jaipii, Brother Clavero, R0adki11 and 2 others 4 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/377001-carrion-lords-captain-completed/#findComment-5896574 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrawlingCleaner Posted January 9, 2023 Author Share Posted January 9, 2023 So I picked up the Raven Guard battle force and am working my way through that. As I had the ork left over from my Bayard conversion, I figured that I'd use it to base the Chapter master. I still need to remove some of the trim on the claws but I'm pretty happy with him so far R0adki11 and Bouargh 2 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/377001-carrion-lords-captain-completed/#findComment-5898465 Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrawlingCleaner Posted January 17, 2023 Author Share Posted January 17, 2023 Thank you both! Converting is one of the best bits of the hobby for me, there's fairly few models that I let go un-converted these days Speaking of: I think I need to shorten the up arm on the Bolt Pistol arm and also add a Narthesium or some similar medical equipment, but otherwise this Apothecary is ready to go! duz_ and R0adki11 2 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/377001-carrion-lords-captain-completed/#findComment-5900645 Share on other sites More sharing options...

War of the Eagle Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 Big fan of the blue and black paint scheme! Also loving your chipped grim dark painting style. Keep up the great work.

TrawlingCleaner Posted May 3, 2023 Author Share Posted May 3, 2023 Thank you Eagle! I enjoyed painting the Killteam and the Captain especially but the army isn't going to go any further I think.
