I have commissioned my friend, Dakka's no1vampire, to paint my huge Ravenwing/Deathwing army. I've been doing all the modeling and reasonable conversions. I will add more in coming days. Currently in middle of battle vs. Necrons @ 1150 pts. Look for that battle report in day or so......

For starters.....

More pictures....

gj on the Chaplain.

My camera doesn't do justice to paint jobs.

I can see from the speeder and attack bike that your flash is making the other bikes' paintjobs look gritty and gray. Try photoing with natural light instead.

Like the standard, can't wait to see it installed!

My only criticism is that the libby might use a bit less blue and a bit more Deathwing colors, just to make him fit in more. But that's just my opinion about the libby colors being standard anyways.

Looks very nice,
I love the speeder and the interchangable weapons,
Well done.

That standard is always a great one for deathwing,
I'm going to have to get one as well soon.

Good job,
keep the posts coming

Nice - I particularly like the round-ended bike bases and the interchangeable weapons. Excellent stuff!

wow, your army looks spectacular! Keep up the great work.

**** I did not paint this stuff****** I have 4 other army to address. Only so much time and oh so much to do.

When the dust settles I will have 5 complete Ravenwing squads and 8 squads of Terminators.

More pictures will be coming

Cyclone missile launcher more playable when it becomes Heavy 2?

More pictures.......

I really like the 3 bikes,
I've been looking to do a standard for my ravenwing for quite a while and yours has come out very nicely.

Also a quick question:
Is there background to the Ork's on the bases or just because it looks cool?

Good job,
keep em coming!

those are really nice i wish i could paint like that.....

Great job love the whole idea of the death wing, just never gotten aroudn to actually playing them

I have 2 friends who play Orks, with a 3rd who may start. Throughout fluff DA's have cleansed the Imperium of the filth known as the Ork.

And yes it looks cool.

Coming soon..... Deathwing with forgeworld shoulder pads.

Current record with Ravenwing 3-1-1 @ 1150pts
Necrons....tabled him on turn 5
Orks.....tabled them on turn 6
Tyranids(stealer shock).......I was tabled on turn 7
trait Space Marines.....tabled him on turn 6
Chaos.....draw, store was closing on turn 3

What size bases were you using for yoru bikes? Looks like the larger circle bases. I like it, give you more room for diarama possibilities. Though, what is up with all the servo skulls on the bases on the front of the bases? Is that for squad markings or is there a mandate with the Raven Wing that all Servoskulls run along the along the ground infront of bikes and infantry?

Bases are 40mm round base (Terminator) and 40mm square base (fastasy large creature). I cut round in half and hot glued to square base. Plenty of room for diorama.

Servo skulls are there for recording the actions I have taken to rid Imperium of Xenos scum.

Had some Termnators returned today. Mixed reactions, mostly the bases. I will clean up and post my progress, but here is what I have.

This is 15 of 35 I'm getting done. It's being done a bit rushed due to 'Ard Boyz.

Well I received another 11 terminators. I'm very happy with results. First batch had a cloudy effect come from clear coat.

I have 2 or 3 more squads to be done yet. 7 cyclone missile launchers and 7 heavy flamers for switch outs of the assault cannon.

I wanted alot of magnetized arms so I can switch between shooty and assaulty DW. Storm bolters are coming

Next up on Thursday night the standard (at top of page), the Master of Deathwing, Master of Ravenwing on his Landspeeder, and terminator Apothecary. I really can't wait.

Yet to be completed.....2 full Ravenwing bike squads (6 bikes, attack bikes, landspeeder tornado each) and 2 full Ravenwing support squads (3 landspeeders, 1 typhoon, 1 tornado each)....I will be painting them,

Sidenote....I'm about 15 landspeeders short of full Ravenwing company. Being called out by my DA friend to finish it.

GW, hear my pleading. Give DA's the FAQ/errata update soon. I want the FnP Apothecary and 2 shot CML

I will be going back and resetting magnets in arms so they are flush.

Also, I will be going back and taking better natural light pictures. probably towards end of project.

pretty cool stuff you got

i like it

Well I received another 11 terminators. I'm very happy with results. First batch had a cloudy effect come from clear coat.

There are two fixes I know of for this. I've never used either but I know someone who tried the second one and it worked perfectly for him.

1) Spray it with a coat of gloss sealer, then a coat of matte sealer -if you use matte.
(What happens with the haziness is that the sealant didn't dry properly becuse it was done in a humid environment. The haziness you see is actually imperfections in the sealer. Sealing over it is said to fill in those imperfections.)


2) Spray them with superglue accellerant.
(I don't know why this works)

Use something like zip kicker? I will try later today and post pre and post pictures.

Sidenote.... Damn my pictures look bad with that yellow hue to them. I will retake outside later.

Received this afternoon.......

Very happy. Must do some re-setting of magnets.

More pics coming Saturday night.

i really like the banner

The banner is nice!
Thats really good!
You are good painter!

I didn't paint it. My buddy did. I just did the modeling.

10 more termies coming tomorrow.

I'm going to redo magnets on everybody.

Brace yourselves. I pulled out the paintbrush and painted up 2 AoBR Dreads......

Some little touches need to be done.

Primed white, hard painted chainmail, Devlan Mud wash, Gyphonne Sepia washed armor, drybrushed Bleached Bone. DA icons Chainmail and Malachite Red, Washed with da Mud.

I'm in middle of finishing up repainting bases of termies and bikes. Will be priming up a Land Raider and x2 Drop Pods. The statisfaction of painting my own stuff has me inspired to paint like a mad man over the next couple months.

More pics coming this weekend.....
