Painting up a sneaky beaky! Trying to mix a road base with the ash-waste style bases of some of the other Phobos RG units I have. Marble base piece: Ushabti Bone/Pallid Wych Flesh/Agrax/Terminatus/Longbeard Base ash: London Grey/Longbeard Grey Armour: Black Grey, edge highlights London Grey, drybrush Dawnstone for the dust, Light Slate Grey pigment for […]
Played a 500pt combat patrol game today with a Raven Guard successor force vs. some Space Wolves. Nobody had a fully painted force and some of the SW were borrowed RG units, so no 10pts for either team. The game was a Combat Patrol Incisive Attack and the RG’s secondaries were Cut Off The Head, […]
Last night saw the Raven Guard face off against Chaos in a 500pt Combat Patrol game. Raven Guard won on points, though they were certainly losing in terms of casualties. Takeaways: The new ruined walls set of six was the MVP as far as terrain goes, with just the one set making a meaningful difference […]
As I’d expected, storage has become a problem. Mr Griffin is printing paint holders to make the paints visible and manageable and due to the sudden influx of paints we’ve added some additional shelving. Doesn’t really take care of the Vallejo textures since they’re in 200ml tubs but we’ll have to figure out what to […]
Primaris vs. Primaris this time around! Raven Guard took on Space Wolves. Takeaways for the Space Wolves – the Easy To Build 3x Reiver + 3x Intercessor squad combo lacks punch vs. a more customised set of Primaris marines. Takeaways for the Raven Guard – Thunder Hammer + Intercessor Sergeant = very threatening. Auto Bolt […]

No painting today. It’s a little less wintery outside today and the Mini Griffs are keen to play outdoors after school. In other news, apparently dry brushing is what my life has been missing. Found some snazzy examples of textured bases on the GW website and they look very cool (perhaps well beyond my ability) […]
Gav Thorpe’s Corax anthology provides an explanation for this in the Weregeld story on p. 461: It used to be that the Shadowmasters had hunted in squads, using their unique Corax-gifted abilities to sow discord and terror amongst their foes. Now they worked alone, their number reduced to a handful amongst all the legionaires […]
Trying to figure out from lore what the various “correct” paint schemes have been for the Raven Guard. This will be updated as I get to painting the various models. Sergeants While the GW painted models show them as having white helmets, the stories I have read so far don’t ever mention this – […]
