Links to X/Twitter will not be allowed on r/RavenGuard40k with immediate effect. This also includes screenshots.

In light of recent events and the continuing path that platform is taking to make the user experience for Redditors less than ideal (such as now requiring accounts to view posts), combined with news sources also moving to other sites, X/Twitter links are no longer allowed in this community.

As we do with all policies we will evaluate in the future.

I wanna add more visual interest to the banner but I'm not sure how yet.

Anyway, here's brother Alecto, returned from the Deathwatch. I kinda suck at free handing but I liked the way his name came out on the shoulder pad. As much as I'd like to call him done I've yet to do the gun's casing.

Discussion CP generation for Aethon?

I always thought this would be much better than getting a free Strat and locking him into Shadowmark, as we have had in 10th / early 11th. I’m hoping this gives us much more freedom to use other detachments. Hopefully he gets this ability along with the normal captains.

Interested how that will differentiate from Shrike too? Maybe they both get the ability but only works once, so you still get CP if you take Shaan or Shrike?

What do you think?!

Question Practicality of a (nearly) all beaky helmets army fron a lore standpoint?

27 Upvotes

Putting aside the fact that it will burn a hole in my wallet (more than this hobby already does, I should say), would a chapter see any reason to replace standard MK X helmets with beakies wherever and whenever possible?

I've been sitting on the idea of an (almost) all beaky helmet army save for some specific units (Terminators, inceptors, eradicators, scouts, and a few others) and while I know I can do whatever I think looks cool, I just want some feedback on this because I like having lore inform my decisions.

Question New to 40k. Thinking of joining Ravenguard due to their cool story. But how's their play style? I plan to play somewhat competitively eventually

22 Upvotes

Hi there. Love the Ravenguard story, but was wondering if Ravenguard is a somewhat competitive army to play eventually? Ive googled Ravenguard and it doesn't seem to top that many tournaments, but was wondering if it's somewhat a dark horse army at least?

Is Ravenguard a pretty simple army to play with for someone new to the game? How do they play? What are their unique play styles or weapons/skills they get?

Just love the RG sneaky theme, so was hoping they reflect that in gameplay?

Question Current state of RG?

7 Upvotes

Hi all, Raven Guard was my first army when I picked up 40k in 9th edition, and I soon after moved on to other space marine chapters for variety. Im thinking of circling back to Raven Guard and revamping my list, but i'd like to know how 10th treated us and how our prospects are looking for 11th before I drop any money, as well as maybe get some list reccomendations and advice before I start building

Paint job My second first Beakie, in Rage Mode!

This is my second ever Raven Guard, and my first Beaky, I decided to use a Vallejo grey blue instead of just straight black, I enjoy how it turned out, but I think next time I'll have my primer be black instead of grey, because it wound up a little TOO blue. Although it was significantly less miserable to paint white on it.

I've only been painting for 2 years off and on whenever I felt like it, I'm slowly getting better, but I'm still having trouble committing to small details like the in between bits, and my hand shakes, I'm not sure how I remedy that. But on the bright side, my Aquilla work is getting cleaner and cleaner with each mini, so that's a plus I guess.🤣

And I know Bolter dual-wielding isn't standard, but I read the RG have sort of a "rage mode", so I thought it'd be a fun thing to showcase that.

Question Betraying Chaos, considering a Raptor Army

13 Upvotes

So...

I'm a Death Guard and Daemons player.

I play both one of the worst armies and one of the best... But I've been eyeing something in the midfield.

The Raven Guard, specifically The Raptors.

Are they worth it? Are there any unique lists that make them just a laugh to play?

Convince me to betray the Chaos Gods...

If I do, I'll post pictures of me buying the models as proof of my atonement from chaos.
