Got a game coming up and needed a second power sword lieutenant, so I used my little conversion on the 500th store exclusive model. Just an arm swap and a buzz cut

Damnit you stole my idea!

Looks amazing!

Do you use 2 brush blending to add lowlighta? Or what other method do you use to achieve the shading effects on the pauldrons, for example?

The initial shading and highlighting (all over the armour) is done with airbrush. Then decals are applied, then I use shading wash (Athonian Camoshade) mixed with Lahmian Medium to fade decals, exaggerate shadows and blend all colours.

Begins to be boring, have to do a copy and paste for your painting post.

Once again, great job. One more time a fantastic mini.

Superb painting as always - have you done any group or army shots yet?

Great looking Raptor.

I’m with Elbows, I wanna see an army shot.

I always wondered why there are Helmet-Less Space Marine characters. I guess they want to see what is going on with their own eyes and not some targeting computer in the helmet.

Great Work! All Your Raptors are uniformly perfect!

Not since when they were featured in the Warhammer Community article – and it has grown since then!! I will sort some more out soon

At least this one has his helmet to hand!

And thanks

This is one hell of a Space Marine character, mind-bendingly awesome once again!
