Some oldhammer! Or is this middlehammer? I lose track. This Games Workshop Warhammer 40K Techmarine was released as part of the Company Command box set a month 3rd edition hit, apparently – which would put him at being released in late 1998. Still using the same metal backpack as the older 2nd Ed. Techmarines, his […]
Today it was a Raven Guard Successor chapter vs. the Angels of Annihilation (Imperial Fists successor). 500pt game which was largely decided before the second turn of the first round. A RG smash captain and Bladeguard Veteran squad were Master of Ambushed up the board and successfully charged an Outrider squad, between the two of […]
I’m painting up some Raven Guard Primaris Intercessors squads where the sergeants have thunder hammers, and here’s the recipe I’m using to get the following look: The hammer started off being undercoated in Mecha Black and a base coat of Hashut Copper was applied. A wash of Canoptek Armourshade was next and once that dried […]
Here’s how I paint the Raven Guard Primaris Eliminators. This is one of my early attempts at a Raven Guard paint scheme – I currently use a darker shade of grey but I like this one still. Undercoat: Vallejo Mecha Primer, Black 73.642 Armour base coat: Vallejo Model Color Black Grey 70.862 Recess shading: Citadel […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 – […]
Today’s Kill Team showdown was between a Raven Guard Primaris force and some Chaos Space Marines. The scenario was Objective Ultima. For something different we decided to use a Chaos Berserker Dreadnought as the central objective, and four computer consoles to “control” it as the secondaries. From the Raven Guard perspective the Reiver Sergeants are […]
