Raptors Repulsor Executioner

This model was about three months in the making because it was the subject of my first vehicle painting guide and I wanted to cover a variety of different techniques – particularly weathering and lighting effects.

  1. Maybe a dumb question but would this be helpful from at least a techniques standpoint for blood angels combined with your guides for doing the infantry? I’m wondering if I can leverage a lot of the colors used in the infantry guide combined with these techniques for things like redemptor dreads.

    1. Not a dumb question! And from a techniques standpoint I would say yes. I deliberately structured the guide to treat each technique separately – the intention is to create a toolkit so that readers can pick and choose. You would just need to swap colours.

    1. No video tutorials yet – maybe in the future! I will be doing a video interview with Last Light Creative in the next couple of weeks 🙂

  2. Fantastic as always. One thing that always makes me puzzle is weathering of Adeptus Astartes vehicles. I like a bit of scratching and dusting/mud, but would astartes…who are meticulous in the care, maintenance and in some case worship, allow their wargear to rust? Dont get me wrong….the effect you have painted is fantastic, and i would love to see you do some militarum vehicles in this style, just for myself painting, I hate to add rust to my marines……does that make sense or am i just nuts? LOL

    1. Yes, especially older, battleworn vehicles. Raptors chapter no less (they get sent in to some nasty fights in heavily forest zones often times), perhaps during an extended deployment to a very wet and grimy region. If you want to paint your Raptors much more clean and shiny, that is a valid option as well imo, makes a lot of sense on primaris, since they are newer. The time period setting you could set your particular army in is so vast you can make about anything make sense. Learning rust, wear, etc techniques does seem important imo if you like the grim dark aesthetic.
