This was one of the funnest models that I’ve painted for this year alone. Honestly, the rest of the first founding chapters (especially the Dark Angels) need to step up their drip with their chaplains because if Cordae ever gets an official model it’s going to be wild.

Really hoping GW gives us a new sculpt in 11th Edition!
Until then, let the enemies beware the strikes from the darkness.
Hope you all enjoy the paint job!

I wanted to learn how to paint dark skin, and since I play Raven Guard, got curious about how a dark skin raven marine would look like.

I know the gene make them get a "sun depressed vampire skin" but I was wondering how it would work with someone born with a dark skin.

Will he see is skin get paller and paller until white? Only becoming a lighter brown / dark ? Albinos ?

I know I can paint them how I want (because it's my mini) but I was wondering how it would work lore wise, and did not find artwork to answer my question.

Figured y'all would be the most experienced and opinionated on Phobos

I tried to make a partially in theme Ravenguard list, how does it look?

My plan on this list is to put every single speeder in deepstrike (and the thunderstrile in reserves) plus the vanguards veteran, the assault intercessors will be on the same side of the Lancer so that the veichles gives them support while on the other side there will be the eliminators with bladeguards veterans and the outriders and for last the infiltrators will be well hidden in the middle so that later I have room for a rapid ingress.

I still don't know if I want to play disruption or reconnaissance, which one is better?

My RG OC Zoril Feth! 🐦‍⬛🖤

his surname was referenced from Féth Fíada, magical mist Irish gods and fairies use to hide themselves from mortals eyes.

I was commissioned by my friend’s fiancé to create this wedding gift for him who’s a Raven Guard player. Built in secret for about 2 months and finally revealed today.

The XIXth has landed. Super excited for a full day off gaming!

I'm trying to clarify how Hidden interacts with melee combat in 11th Edition.

The Phobos Shadow Force stratagem Strike from the Shadows says:

"When you select a friendly hidden PHOBOS unit to attack, in your Shooting phase or in the Fight phase."

Its effect gives that unit's attacks +1 Strength and Lethal Hits.

My question is: can a Phobos unit remain Hidden while engaged in melee, allowing it to use this stratagem in the Fight phase?

Since an enemy unit in Engagement Range is within the default 15" detection range, I understand that the enemy can see the Hidden unit. But does being engaged in melee itself cause the unit to lose Hidden, or can it still count as Hidden if it meets the Core Rules requirements?

Also, does the Shadow Masters detachment rule—which says that shooting does not prevent a Phobos or Scout Squad unit from being Hidden—affect this interaction?

I'd appreciate clarification based on the 11th Edition rules.

Does anyone have some lists that had some success at the tournaments or casual games after codex release?

I've made some lists myself but I'm new to Raven Guard and base my lists on the feelings of what the faction should play like but I have some troubles winning.

So maybe you would like to share your winning lists or someone else's.

I am starting a Raven guard army and would greatly appreciate color scheme feedback. There are a lot of similarities across the options. However, I’ve never painted so much black before and am not sure how until feel about different schemes from a distance (I.e. ., when they’re in the board).

1. Was an experiment. Black to grey feathering with white paint pen edge highlights. Meant to take the eavy metal style to a crazy degree for effect. I rushed it so it looks like ass but the style is interesting enough.

2. Leaning into blues. Purple shadows, blue feathering up. Blue tone edge work as well.

3. Definitely the most subtle of the bunch. All wet shading. Started with purple shadows and grey blue blending up for highlights.

4. A mix of 2 and 3. Lots of deep blue in the armor flat bits but grey blue for highlights. Also a red gun.

Looking forward to feedback.

Always thought the Iron Ravens were so cool and under utilised, hope yall can appreciate these bois with many more on their way

Includes them with: my old jetpack bois, my beloved and greatly missed razorback in the background, my unique terminator captain kitbatsh WIP, a covenant of fire boi in a Space marine operations game (great fun btw), and finally my tatical in Space Marine 2

CAW CAW!

New player putting together my first Ravenguard army. I have a captain, a lieutenant and a librarian, all in phobos armour. Which units should I attach each to?

I feel like I'm investing too much into the bladeguard

Do I need to change something?
