DIAMOND VULTURES checking in. Think I finally figured out my color scheme. Going for a bearded vulture vibe, with all the white bits being over-the-top sparkly/glittery.

The Regal Skulls were the result of an experiment Belisarius Cawl conducted near the end of the development of the Primaris marines. The intent was to create a legion of pariahs; anti-psykers like those of the Sisters of Silence or the Culexis Assassin Temple capable of blocking the warp. If successful the Regal Skulls would be the pinnacle of Cawl's work; the ultimate defense against psykers, Chaos, and the Immaterium itself. Unfortunately the project was not successful as Cawl was unable to capture the quintessence that defines a pariah. Even the Adeptus Mechanicus are incapable of engineering the soul. What Cawl did produce was a Chapter that was more warp resistant than other Primaris and less susceptible to the uncomfortable effects of being in close proximity to Pariahs. The Ordo Hereticus, seeing the value in such a warrior, requested a chapter and the Regal Skulls were formed. As a small, specialized Chapter Regal Skulls rarely perform independent operations or campaigns. Instead they are typically found alongside the Inquisition, providing support for other psyker-focused forces against threats that may be outside their capabilities.

I like the basing, it contrasts nicely with the purple legs and at the same time ties the whole thing together because it's a similar colour to the bone towards the top of the model. Only thing I would say is to apply it thicker so you get a more pronounced crackle effect, and maybe a grass tuft if you wanted but that's personal preference.

Steel Slayers

The Steel Slayers are a crusading chapter derived from the Imperial Fists, currently acting as an Militant arm of the Ordo Xenos at the request of Lord Inquisitor Grayson Macavoy. The chapter's original name has been struck from the records, and they bear the new name of Steel Slayers after a campaign of running battles against the Necrons. The Steel Slayers have fight with all of the zeal of the Black Templar cousins, but are not given to warshouts or grand proclamations, preferring the calm of a battle meditation to the fiery exalts of divine inspiration.

They arm themselves with a great myriad of arcane technologies from the stores of the Macavoy Conclave, and work closely alongside Inquisitorial forces. This extends beyond battlefield cooperation and logistics, with units of Storm Troopers, Acolytes and Marines training alongside each other in order to more effectively react to threats in the age of the Dark Imperium. This is clearly displayed by Chapter Master Ferrin Cisor, who utilizes Inquisitor Macavoy's two weapon dueling style in battle.











Colors used:
London Grey, washed with Nuln Oil.
Runefang Silver on the details and sword.
Vallejo Prussian Blue, washed with Drakenhoff Nightshade.
Jokaero Orange for the Eyes
Mephiston Red and Baalthasar Gold on the honors badge/chord.

The cape and tabard is a base of Ulthuan Gray, then layered back and forth with Nuln Oil/Ulthuan Gray until I got the shading I wanted, then I went over the high points with Ceramite White. It's the first time I've tried shading this, I hope it worked out. I admit, the lighting direction is helping.

The hammer was based in 14k Karat gold paint, then I went over it with Abaddon Black trying to leave the gold in the recesses to give a weave look. I was going for like, a spinning generator in the center with a gold turbine surrounded by blue energy. The blue is Thunderhawk Blue, layered over with Temple Guard Blue. On the weapon edges I hit over that lightly with Etherium Blue. Same basic form with the sword, but I had a base of Runefang Silver for it. The gold was hit with a Seraphim Sepia wash.

The model is a Primaris Captain model, with a head from the Deathwatch. The thunderhammer is from an Admiral of those airship Sigmar dwarves. The right shoulderpad is actually some part from that admiral cut that I thought looked interesting and cut off.

Lt Muldoon in action on Nublar V

Given the Heresy-era experience the Raven Guard had with rapidly cloned reinforcements, they and their successors have been a little reluctant to employ bigly marines en masse within existing chapters. A large proportion of their allocation was re-founded in new chapters, such as the DANCING RAPTORS.

The Dancing Raptors were first deployed to the feral jungle worlds of the Nublar system, where they assisted the eccentric local governor in establishing a number of colonies on previously unconquered planets. However, these colonies have suffered from prolonged conflict with the xenos species of the system, and the Dancing Raptors have been embroiled in a prolonged guerilla war against a variety of savage and predatory alien.

What color would you have used? I thought using a bone color would have lightened up the overall model.

Kung Fu Fist gently caress posted:

im pretty old school with my basing, some sort of green or yellow flock. some grass tufts if im feeling fancy. but going for a dead world vibe, maybe a dark grey or brown? something different from the helm and shoulder pads just to give it a bit more variety vv

Ok, so here's some WIP shots of the Deathclaws and some half hashed out background. I apologise for the photos, I really need to get/make a light box.

The Deathclaws are a 26th Founding Chapter, successors to the Dark Angels. Named after a large, aggressive predator of a their Homeworld - The Wasteland. They take their odd colouring from these predators, choosing to paint their armour like they are uparmored Deathclaws. The Imperium is convinced they are successors to the Space Wolves, something they do little to deny (with a little prodding from Inner Circle, and much laughter)

Known for ignoring the enemy - even those sneaking through their ranks - once they decide to start fighting, they will follow and hound their foes until they succeed in wiping them out.

Amongst their deeds, they are attributed with wiping a system clean of a Tyranid invasion. Vidpict and Vox records indicate they literally charged and fought claw to claw with their enemy, and where ultimately victorious, if a depleted Chapter - a fact which has led to them seeing an large uptake of Primaris troops, with many of their own choosing to take the treatment.

Being a well rounded combined arms force, many are left wondering why they have an irrationally large number of Lighting Claws in their force. Often they will do away with more fitting Power and Chain weapons and have entire squads equipped with Claws.
