HUGINN RAX: Code bravo three one five seven lima delta three two, confirm. Repeat, bravo three one five seven lima delta three two. This is my third attempt to establish contact. The previous two attempts have not returned ping. Warp storm interference currently rated level II - minimal. It is imperative—

+++ TEMPORAL ADVANCE ACCEPTED +++

HUGINN RAX: —just a handful of survivors -- most from Second Battalion's Third and Fifth -- we headed southeast of our primary DZ in hopes of refuge with the Firebrand Titans. Though the Martian war machines were all but destroyed in engagements with the traitorous Legio Mortis, scores of Skitarii traded their lives defending their landers as the breadth of betrayal grew. Quickly, we—

+++ TEMPORAL ADVANCE ACCEPTED +++

HUGINN RAX:  —while there are those amongst our survivors that fear your demise -- who, even one as you, could be expected to endure such hell, such betrayal -- I remain confident you still draw breath. Moreover, I see you. I see you in my mind’s eye; the very one I vowed to stitch close at Nikaea. In these dark days, where none can tell brother from murderer, the truth has seared off its eyelid. I see you in the mountains of our grave. I see you flee, wingless, from a Red Angel. And I see you delivered, borne back into the stars—

+++ TEMPORAL ADVANCE ACCEPTED +++

HUGINN RAX: —echanicum has hosted us with what can be described as cold efficiency during our travel to Atar-Median. Apothecary Vejovis reports catatonia running rampant in the survivors. We are… in a bad way, Sire. Orcan has procured suitable prosthesis for the wounded. Forge Lord Orcan. He has assumed Legion command – almost fittingly due to his time spent on Mars. The others seem not concerned. But my mind’s eye bares witness to something. Something that has yet to—

HUGINN RAX: —uded with this message is a dossier outlining our operational strength, inventory, and combat efficiency. Upon arrival at the forge world, I will send further word – with any luck through amplified arrays. By the Emperor, may this message reach you, Lord Corax.

Hell :cussing yes!

 

A shiny, clean thread! One which I hope to update more frequently with painted models :)

 

This is great, I need to make a legion organization chart like yours, I wish I had the photoshop chops.

 

Give it a shot man! I have no chops. That dossier was made in a photoshop knock off for mac, and everything is eye balled.

 

That's a pretty great intro. If you put this much time in so far, I'm pretty jazzed to see the models.

 

Thanks brother! Glad you enjoyed it. Will be hoping to finish Sarrn for tomorrow. I really need to buy a magnifying system for painting.

I've tried them and haven't been able to get much use out of them. It's good for seeing your work, but my hand-eye is all out of whack through the lens so I can't seem to paint well that way. Plus, getting something else in front of me doesn't work so well. I just end up holding the mini super close to my eyes when I do detail work.

I can bring it in about 6 or 7 inches before what I'm looking at gets all blurry and I'm straining to focus, so I'm hoping it helps with that. Maybe I just need more practice with the brush; to feel out that steady hand and remember to breathe lol. Thanks for the heads up either way!

This thread almost makes me feel bad for collecting world eaters. almost. Look forward to seeing more on this!

Thanks brother!

Cool intro. I'll look forward to seeing it's progress.

Glory to the XIX!

What is it with people making me want to build a Raven Guard army?

Seriously great work going on here smile.png

Scratch that itch!

Awesome, dude! The bolter is perfect.

Thanks brother! As I crank more out, I'm looking forward to getting smoother with the brush. When you blow up images of your paint, you almost have a 'Eww' reaction at all the little mistakes and imperfections, or at least that's how it's feeling for me right now.

Fantastic model KBA! I noticed the also noticed the pouches however, they look slightly unfinished. Perhaps a black wash would make help to tie them in with the beauty that is the rest of the model?

This is great inspiration for my budding Ravens, dude. I really like this guy. My only point of query would also be about the pouches, I think a brown would fit him better, but it's a minor point on a model I think looks great. Really like the mixed armour. Did you put a spacer at the waist?

Count me subbed.

Cool! The more people following, the more thick the icing on the cake becomes smile.png

That is delightful. It looks like an updated RT era Beaky. Which is absolutely a winner in my book.

I'm happy with the old school feel of it too. Making a heresy-era force that was mine and had a certain individuality to it is big a priority for me.

@KBA "come on kill me I'm right here!"...funny you should say that:

Current project msn-wink.gif

That mini looks great, when can we expect a whole squad?!

Look at that stomp! Hurts so good lol well done. I've got two other armless/backpackless marines that will join him shortly. After a few grunts, I'm rewarding myself with a Contemptor smile.png

Looking awesome man, my one gripe is the grey pouches, I feel like brown might compliment him better.

Yeah, after Knight of The Raven called those out, I've been slowly converted to this line of thinking. And after painting one model up fully, the red and grey chevron provides enough spot color.

Thanks! I'll be changing them smile.png

Thanks BCA, and goodluck with your XIX. Don't be surprised if you find yourself growing your Ravens beyond 250-600 points msn-wink.gif. As for the height, He's been lengthened 1 mm at each leg (thigh-crotch area) and 2 mm in between the torso and the legs. EDIT: Oh, and 0.5-1 mm at the neck.

I laughed so hard at this tube clip! perfect!

"Huginn and Muninn fly each day.

Over the specious stars. I fear

for Huginn; that he come not back,

Yet more anxious am I for Muninn."
