With special characters I often like to keep in line with the "official" colour scheme, as to my mind there is only one of them, and they would not necessarily have the same scheme as the rest of your custom chapter, but rather be leading them as a specific honour to their name.
With that in mind, Sammael is somewhat cleaner in his painting than the rest of the Ravenwing, but I am very happy with how he has turned out.
The final instalment for this Ravenwing force is the fliers, and here they are!
And so, finally, the Ravenwing are complete. The fliers have been based but not pictured in this blog post. The next you see of this, and the Deathwing, will be a video flyover of the whole army showing it laid out before it is picked up.
I hope you've enjoyed the gestation of this army as it has come to fruition :)
Peace out,
Rob
Oh brilliant, love the whole lot you’ve done mate. Minor criticism would be the controls on Sammael’s bike, the buttons and two screens? But that is a very minor point! Love the orange glow of the engines which matches the orange of the Maces. Russ will be very happy with this Army! I can’t wait to face it. Looked great on Winters SEO against the DG.
ReplyDeleteD'oh! You're totally right! I completely just forgot them, I'll get them painted up for collection date :P
DeletePlease do some bat reps on weemen ASAP :D
Lord H and I are officially useless, we haven’t even had a battle of 8th yet! When we do, we’ll post something and our trip to WHW in May might just have these DA/DW/RW there too!
DeleteGreat work Rob! Ravenwing are a solid choice in 8th edition.
ReplyDeleteSaw your Primaris force on a Winters report, they look brilliant!
Thanks Mike! I'd love to test the Primaris' mettle against you at some point! First step of getting better, play a better opponent :)
DeleteI particularly like the weathering on the Flyers' wings. Looks like they've been running missions through some heavy smoke and other foulness.
ReplyDeleteYeah, it was one of those things where I had the image in my head of how I wanted it to look and it came out pretty close to it, glad you liked it :)
DeleteThat will be a good looking force all together. Sammie being cleaner is understandable, he has people to clean everything for him.
ReplyDeleteHaha! Good point Rory!
