Spaz's Raptors

[Race Bannon]

Bump battle damage, make it easy on your self :lol:

 

Seriously, if you want it, and can make it look good to you, then doooo eeeet!

[Spaz]

@Itvyper- I like your view and explanation on weathering/battle damage, thanks for breaking it down like that.

 

@Race Bannon- I like the concept but have no clue if I can execute it properly. I'll play around with a test model and see what happens. I like the idea of making them look lived in but not beat up.

[Spaz]

As promised, pictures of the completed Commander and Chaplin.

Commander number 1.

And the Jump Chaplin.

Now to get on with the Tactical Squads...

And finally, something I think Race Bannon will like.

[Cordova]

You said it's been a while since updating, I can sympathise. However, it was worth a wait, they look very good - crisp and clear, and (although this is an odd sentence) your green is nice and smooth. I particularly like the Relic Dread.

[Race Bannon]

I LOVE ALL THE STUFFS!

 

And buy Corax, that Spartan

 

EDIT - you know ... you could vow that beast in the ETL :yes:

[golfdeltafoxtrot]

That green is excellent, it's really smooth and clean. Good job on the green lenses too, they're nice and bright.

[thewarriorhunter]

I love the tempest speeder... I think this year may be the first year I place a FW order... really nice job on all of the painting.

[Dracos]

OMG. Details on the bases and that Tempest. Makes me Raptor green with envy I don’t have the patience for that level of detail.

 

Corax would approve :)

[NiceGuyAdi]

Sooooo good. Nice choice on the basing style, too.

[thewarriorhunter]

Where do you get your plants for your bases? I run a similar theme but all of my foliage is low grass or moss.

[WAR]

Awesome update man

[Bjorn Firewalker]

Excellent works.

[MajorNese]

Yay, more tempests!!!

 

Very nice, the painting is cleaner than mine will ever be. A few more pouches couldn't hurt though, to add a bit of detail. And the muted face colours on the scouts really fit, that way the face doesn't stick out like a harlequin does amongst necrons.

[Spaz]

Thank you all for the kind words! They are appreciated and any critiques are more than welcome. I'm still very much in the learning phase.

 

The green had some slightly brighter highlights and deeper shadows but it seems the varnishes have somehow lessened them. Not sure what has caused it or how but at least it's been very consistent, so I'm sticking with the process.

 

@Race Bannon- I'm not sure if I could get the Spartan done in time, between being a slow painter and having the tendency to bounce between projects makes deadline difficult. I'll try and have it done soon but knowing me, something like a knight might start screaming at me. Lol

 

@thewarriorhunter- The plants are from Michael's. The ones that make the fern type plays are from the fake home plant section. Cut down in size and then cut to make the folds. Finally they are washed to look more natural. The palm tree type plants are from the aquarium section, then trimmed and washed. Hope this helps.

 

@MajorNese- I agree on the pouches. The GW ones are too big and don't have the proper fit. I need to see if I can find some alternatives.

 

Thanks again everyone for all the kind words.

[Race Bannon]

Pfft, give the Knight a picture of a bike and tell him to ride.

[Dracos]

I second the Spartan :)

 

But at least the Chappie man, Corax needs your support Brother ;) and we’ll support you ... in spirit :)

[Spaz]

@Race Bannon and Inquisitor Dracos- Just vowed the spartan.

[Race Bannon]

CORAX APPROVES!!
