Returned to my Raptors after the longest time and had a blast painting up these two Speeders! So many details and opportunities for weathering, I could have gone on forever! But sometimes…
A few people have asked how the Raptors army is shaping up. I’m in the process of re-packing them into magnetised cases, so I took the opportunity to take some ‘artistic’ shots…
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…
Today I finished the second unit from the Indomitus boxed set and the first unit of 2021 – a Judiciar conversion. I used the Bladeguard Ancient as the base model, swapped the…
As Raptors are traditionally less ostentatious and more prosaic than other chapters, I felt the Sergeant Jovan model would make a good captain for my 2nd Company. I gave him an older…
My first completed models from the Indomitus box – Outriders! I loved these models as soon as I saw them in the previews. There are so many cool things you could do…
Every now and then you have a project that just doesn’t go smoothly, and this was one such for me. There were several stages that didn’t go well, parts I wasn’t happy…
All the models from Shadowspear have been fantastic, but there is something truly special about the Phobos Librarian. The composition, movement, flow; the opportunity for so many different surface types and textures.…
Took a quick break from painting guides and transfers to finish another unit for my Raptors – Eliminators from Shadowspear! These guys have been on my desk for a while so it…
First completed model of 2020 – a Phobos Lieutenant for my Raptors army. This is another model from the Shadowspear box that I’m slowly (but happily!) working my way through. I did…
Cerrin has been waiting to be painted for quite a while (see original post here)… The base model is the event exclusive lieutenant and the conversion was inspired by the awesome kitbash…
FINALLY finished the first complete unit from my Shadowspear box. It took longer than usual because I stopped after each step to photograph one of these guys for a painting guide, which…
Those of you who know me or have been following my blog and social media will know I’ve been very busy lately getting my little shop up and running, and I’d like…
Lieutenant Cerrin of the Raptors 2nd Company. This conversion was *ahem* ‘inspired’ by the awesome kitbash by k03rnl and the cloak was made by the Master of Cloaks, Dawn Crusade. Check out…
This is one of those projects I’ve dipped in and out of. Coming back to add a bit here and there, building the weathering up in layers. It’s been a lot of…
The highly decorated Captain Vale of the Raptors 4th Company joins the fray… Click the pics for bigger versions 🙂
Second squad of Reivers – again in a darker, more muted scheme than my other Raptors. I got closer to what I was looking for this time by using a black wash…
My take on the 500th store exclusive Lieutenant. Just an arm swap to give him a power sword, and a buzz cut 😉
Aaaand here’s the second Contemptor. Believe it or not this is a different model to the other one 😀 P.S. Happy painting in 2019!
The first of two Contemptor Dreadnoughts with magnetised arms so I can swap out the weapons.
I managed to get some time between stuffing my face this Yule to get some painting done. Here is my 2nd Company Ancient.
The Space Wolves guide is coming, soon, I promise! But I needed to finish up another five of these guys making 10 in total so far. They’re so good on the table…
First squad of Reivers done. As these are the special ops of the force, I gave them a slightly darker, more muted colour to their armour.
Picked up this model at Games Workshop Oxford yesterday and did a simple conversion to give him a power sword. My thinking is that he’s removed the top of his helmet so…
This is a commission piece for follower of the blog who reached out to me wanting a Raptors Dreadnought to join his all-Dread army. I rarely take commissions but this sounded like…
It’s been a while since I posted but I’ve not been idle – far from it in fact! I’m working on several projects, some of which have required stripping and repainting several…
And here he is, the man himself! The cape on this model was expertly sculpted by the talented Last Light Creative.
I’ve had these models kicking around for a long time. Always loved the design of them, and thought they would make great 40k Sternguard for my Raptors.
I’m working on a few units for the Raptors at the moment. First to be finished are these Hellblasters. Credit goes to my buddy William for the idea to paint the helmets…
After a prolonged battle with this model over his white armour, we called a truce, and he is done.
