Theduke08 Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 (edited) Greetings, As per my normal habits I've started another chapter to paint and eventually get bored and start something new. Im hoping my strange enjoyment out of painting green will allow me to get further into this project than some of my others and I figured with the Vanguard Primaris coming out soon I can just go with them. I managed to paint up a Reiver Srgt that was a lot of fun and will serve as my test fig. Thanks for looking. Edited March 28, 2019 by Theduke08 Sgt.

Bjorn Firewalker Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 Excellent work on the Reiver. Theduke08 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Son of Carnelian Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 Looks ace! And the new minis from Shadowspear would look fantastic in those colors! Theduke08 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlo Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 Absolutely perfect! Excellent weathering too. One idea... You could try a black skull on the helm? May tie it in with the chapter symbol and look pretty cool! Theduke08 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theduke08 Posted March 6, 2019 Author Share Posted March 6, 2019 thanks for the suggestion Charlo. Maybe ill test it out on another fig. Only reason im hesitant is that I hate painting black haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've nailed it on the stripe on the head so you should be fine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hungry Nostraman Lizard Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 Fantastic work mate. What else you've got in the pipeline? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theduke08 Posted March 6, 2019 Author Share Posted March 6, 2019 Well im planning on finishing up a 5 man Reiver Squad for the time being. Im really hoping for a Primaris vehicle along the lines of the landspeeder storm. Thats my current wish list #1. Im not currently batch painting these so they will be slow going.

Theduke08 Posted March 10, 2019 Author Share Posted March 10, 2019 Word is the Reivers are getting the phobos keyword. No lets just hope they get the knife fighter rule as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hungry Nostraman Lizard Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 Word is the Reivers are getting the phobos keyword. No lets just hope they get the knife fighter rule as well. What's the rule, for those who don't play stinky dirty loyalists? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theduke08 Posted March 14, 2019 Author Share Posted March 14, 2019 (edited) Finished my second Reiver. The more that I paint these, the more I'm looking forward to the Vanguard release. I ordered one of the Lt's off eBay just as a fun project to paint. I honestly couldn't tell you the last time I actually played a game but I doubt it will be any time soon. Id like to challenge myself to paint 1000 points worth of Mantis Warriors.

Bjorn Firewalker Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 The Reiver is well done, but why are the grenades blue? (In M2 and M3 militaries, blue is often used to identify training munitions, i.e., those without explosives in them.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hungry Nostraman Lizard Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Love the scratched leather munition pouches. He looks even better than the first. Keep it up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theduke08 Posted March 14, 2019 Author Share Posted March 14, 2019 I didn't really put much thought into what military's use for color designations to be honest. I just thought the blue would add a little more contrast and stand out. Rule of cool. Charlo 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trysanna Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Great looking Reivers, especially the 2nd. That worn leather is really nice. Looking forward to seeing you paint up the Shadowspear Lt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theduke08 Posted March 16, 2019 Author Share Posted March 16, 2019 I just finished 2 more Reivers. I think I'm going to keep painting them 1 at a time. I get in a hurry when I'm doing batch painting no matter how small of a batch it is.

Theduke08 Posted March 17, 2019 Author Share Posted March 17, 2019 Im really struggling to not order some of the Eliminators. Not sure rules wise they are going to be great but the figs are very nice. I have been considering if they will be in digicamo or just a solid color. Maybe the Mantis Warrior original colors, yellow with black stripes. Maybe.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hungry Nostraman Lizard Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 (edited) Fantastic work on those. I feel you on the batch painting. It's truly awful, saps my fun away.

MagicMan Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 These guys look really nice. Have you tried doing one with a black faceplate? Would fit the Mantis Warrior logo well, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Cyanide Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 They look awesome! I picked up a Dark im6perium and Shadowspear box this week with the intention of starting a Mantis Warriors army with the loyalist side of each, would you mind sharing your green and yellow recipes?
