Hi people! Just joined today. Here's a bunch of raptors I've been working on the last few days. Comments and criticism welcome.






And a group shot of what I've finished so far:

Nope! Those are the old metal models. Got them cheap at a sale. Thanks for looking.

I love that colour!

Loving them! The blue looks awesome !

I have always been in love with that shade of blue And the concept of raptors. This doesn't alter that love!

Nice colour that, well done.

Oh man, turquoise Marines! Be still my beating heart. Nobody uses that kinda color, and it makes me really happy to see it used so effectively on these guys. Your painting overall is pretty solid and I like that you picked out the little details like the rivets. I also like the fire at the bottom, as its orange compliments the turquoise wonderfully. I'd love if you could work more orange into the scheme, possibly replacing the bright red you have. Good work!

Lol. Thanks for the kind words. Glad you guys like the color scheme, as my whole army is painted in the same color.
I know I have to fix those highlights a bit, though. Been 3 years since I painted, so I'm not as precise as I used to be, tbh. :(

Welcome to Dakka! Those Raptors look ace - as others have said, the paint scheme is a thing of beauty. Lovely work!

Create colour! Is the entirety of your army painted like that?
Edit: Didn't read other posts

PRETTY! <3

Put up some pics in the gallery of my older models. Granted, some are from the time when I didn't highlight at all, but you can get the general feel how the army looks like.

Wow, they look fantastic! LOVE the paint scheme to bits!

Although the one dude appears to be missing an arm. That is bugging me for some reason

Very nice. I really like that colour scheme.

Haha, sorry about that. I'll put up a new pic when I've finished the whole squad.

Welcome to Dakka. Nice colour scheme too. Good job.

Minor update. The raptor on the far left is unfinished. In the process of magnetizing the assault weapons so he has interchangeable weapon choices. Still got an aspiring champion and a lord with a jump-pack left.

Nice, the color scheme is very appealing to the eyes. I also like the battle damage on the one missing an arm.

So here's the whole squad in all it's glory:


And a silly formation pic for the heck of it:

dos guys looks like epicness

Those are some well painted miniatures! You pulled off a turquoise color scheme on Raptors, something that sounds extremely hard to do well. Do you have any other painted miniatures? If so, post them here! I'd love to see 'em.

Hi there and thanks for looking. I do have another thread in the P&M section: http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/396723.page

Great colour scheme ideas, very nice!

Nice looking raptors.
