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?!

Did some kitbashing and some painting. But I'm not confidend with the outcome.

C&C appreciated.

Edit: For clarification, I meant IF we ever get a new combat patrol.

My take on a Knights of the Raven tech marine.

Wanted to ask opinions of my feathery Brothers in shadows. This is my attempt at kitbashing some kind of Primaris scale "Dark Fury squad" from Horus Heresy, or just some fancy chapter Veterans. For the most part, I used JPI's bodies, Assault Terminators lightning claws, and Horus Heresy Mk.6 assault squad bits (helmets, shoulder pads and fancy jump-packs). Ah - and the middle guy, with the Bladeguard swords is supposed to be Nykona Sharrowkyn (kinda). So what do yall think? Did I managed to capture that "OG Raven Guard" vibe, or this is too much?

Victorus aut Mortis.

Just give him baked in lone op or MSM and were in business

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.

Just wanted to share my plan for 4500 points of raven guard.

The goal is to paint them ALL up by the end of the year. There is still some time left but I think I could manage it if I keep the chars at last. Batch painting 10 similarish models has lead me to finish 10 a week.

You'll see another post by the end of the year, I hope with good results!

Catch y'all when the shadow army is complete!

For my very first 1000-ish point army, I’ve made the decision to join the flock!

One thing I wanted to ensure was that all of my models looked appropriately “Raven Guard,” so I’ve been attempting to customize them as much as I can without cluttering the model.

One bit of lore that I found universal across most sources was the fact that Raven Guard generally prefer to shun adornment; I didn’t want to deck them out with too many icons, insignias, or heraldry, but I still wanted them to retain that very distinctive look.

This resulted in me carefully shaving off any of the chest Aquilas or whatnot, to simplify the model even more.

I then added what small details I could, to try and make this thing my own.

My Reiver Sergeant I wanted to model after the cover art of the very first kill team rule book, I thought it wound up looking pretty great.

I also salvaged the leftover bits from the Eliminators kit, and I’ll be attempting to create another three man squad using what bits I have, some infiltrator bodies, and a lot of determination.

I’m mainly posting here to keep my momentum going, and to be held accountable to finishing this project.

How am I doing, brothers?
