Hi guys.

I'm still pressing forward with my Blood Ravens army. In the past week, i pushed out 4 scouts (the 5th had an accident with GS >.< ).

I decided against the general green camo, and went with a brown camo (to fit nicer with my base).

I also went with gun camo. It's never occured to me to paint camo on the sniper rifles before, i'm not sure i like it(?).













Im not quite sure if the gun camo looks good. What do you think?
All C&C welcome

I like the gun camo. You don't see it very often. Looking good

“Because we couldn’t be trusted. The Emperor needed a weapon that would never obey its own desires before those of the Imperium. He needed a weapon that would never bite the hand that feeds. The World Eaters were not that weapon. We’ve all drawn blades purely for the sake of shedding blood, and we’ve all felt the exultation of winning a war that never even needed to happen. We are not the tame, reliable pets that the Emperor wanted. The Wolves obey, when we would not. The Wolves can be trusted, when we never could. They have a discipline we lack, because their passions are not aflame with the Butcher’s Nails buzzing in the back of their skulls.
The Wolves will always come to heel when called. In that regard, it is a mystery why they name themselves wolves. They are tame, collared by the Emperor, obeying his every whim. But a wolf doesn’t behave that way. Only a dog does.
That is why we are the Eaters of Worlds, and the War Hounds no longer."

I think the camo looks great, as does the camo on the gun - makes sense. For me the non camo bits should be black rather than silver otherwise it would glint?

Googled it and it seems pretty common to camo your gun.

Thanks for the comments about the camo Having only ever done green, it was nice to change and i think i've pulled it off.

As for this silver, yeah it probably should be black

I think the silver adds a great contrast to the camo on the gun (which looks great). I would leave it silver. Sure it doesn't match common sense but neither do intergalactic super humans ...

Yep, gun camo is a nice touch. Maybe you could throw a little more on the bases though?

What more would you like to see on the base?

The art of basing has always eluded me, but it's improved alot from basing the whole thing with static grass
