This is a chapter that I amde up with help of some miniwargaming forum members.
At the moment I will just show the whole army.



and this is my work space, nice and clean

Any closer pics from characters?

Color scheme is awesome, looking forward for complete army ;)

Any closer pics from characters?

Yeah sure !

Good looking army and very good color scheme! You could highlight all the red parts just a little bit more.

Try to pay attention in the future at removing the mold lines as they stand out really well after they get some paint on them.

As Jasekr already mentioned highlighting the red a lil bit more I will tell you to highlight most of the stuff a lil bit more. Especially the black color and red as well. Try to paint the edges of your miniatures' bases black as in few pics I saw some paint overextending from the base to the sides and it just plainly doesn't look good.

I like the color scheme; keep up the good work.

P.S. few black parts have extra paint on them so pay attention and repaint some black areas ;)

This is how I paint faces.

So this is how my new guys are turning out ^^)


See the diference?

The red shoulder plates look much better than the black ones. Marines faces look very good but I think that all the grey areas need a little bit more highlightning. Maybe a really careful drybrush with a very light grey on the edges? Keep up with the good work!

I did that ^^) The flash dosent show the highlights. But I did them ^^) And thx for the feedback ^^)

Oh, yes you're right :D Now when I look closer I see the highlights :P You could still add even lighter highlights to the sharpest edges of the miniatures. That would give a "shiny" look to the armor.

Can skull white do the trick?

Yes you can use skull white, but be very careful with it! Just a gentle drybrush will do the trick. I would add just a bit of grey in skull white and use that color to do the small highlights. Remember to try first and then decide if you're going to paint the whole model :)

Finally! After one month of waiting! I finally got this guy!

And just a shot of my WIP banner

A little kit bash for my librarian.

So here is my lord on thunder wolf. Wirh magnetized arms.

Hi. This is my chapter of dark ravens. They are Hunters. Their job is to hunt down all pirates that propose a treath to the imperium and kill them.

That Angel Sanguinary wing used as a shield is actually quite genious... I think I have to borrow that ideo.

About your army's colours... they are a bit meh. They look just and only Space Wolves to me.. Something more original colours are needed or more kitbashing with, for example, Sanguinary, Death Company and other special SMs...

But, but pirates are fun!

On a more serious note, I agree with the above. They don't look like counts as Space Wolves. They look like might as well be Space Wolves.

EDIT: They also seem to share the Angry Marines' flaw of being very, very angry and very, very rude. You might consider switching the texts from English to Imperial Gothic. "Pedicabo ego vos et irrumabo!" just sounds so much better than "you suck!".

About your army's colours... they are a bit meh.

Well its a matter of taste. I like the colour scheem for them ^^)

I don't think he meant it as a matter of taste. Like me, he's just referring to your colours being so close to Space Wolves that they don't look like a splinter chapter. They might as well be Space Wolves. Yours is more "true grey", however, compared to the Space Wolves' blue-grey.

Space Wolves have one of the best colour schemes, however. Grey works on marines.
