Hi guys, I'm back after a forced hiatus due to (another) arm injury. I was a bit worried about further loss of movement and feeling but all seems to be well after about a month of recovery

I thought I'd test out my painting hand and ease myself in with a single model, so here is the first HQ character I've completed for the Raptors – Lieutenant Korik. I wanted to keep him consistent with the troops but I did spend a little bit longer over the highlights and details.

Hope you like him!

Looks great as always. Do you have any army shots of the Raptors? Or is this a commission you're mailing off as you finish units?

Thanks Elbows!

This is my own army. I will take some group shots but I want to finish a couple more units first - at least the Captain and Repulsor (both half done).

Impressive! Most Impressive!

I love it, do you have plans to make Lias Issodon anytime soon?

Thanks guys!

@ Valkyrie, as a matter of fact I do. Got a pretty firm idea for a conversion using a Deathwatch marine as the base. I’ve got a game coming up which I need to finish some other things for but I will be starting him soon

The pose is a little bland. I'm not entirely sure why he's looking down(?) - but the paintjob is flawless.

Really superb paintjob, very well done, Max!

I think that pose gives the impression that the Marine is deep in thought, and gives the model a lot of character. Living in a Grimdark universe must be tough, even for a Space Marine!

Rock solid.

Thanks guys!

This is one of the three-part models from the Dark Imperium boxed set so the pose was kinda decided for me!

Beautiful work yet again!

Can't wait to see the army wide shot when the time comes!
