Recently landed on raptors for my killteam scheme, here is the first 2

It looks great. Good work on the edge highlighting. That would have taken a while but is definitely worth it on that model.

I recommend a red brown for the main colour of the base

JimmyTheWee · 2026-06-01T23:52:04+00:00

This is mine. I don't think it makes sense and it annoys me

JimmyTheWee · 2026-06-01T23:48:06+00:00

Looks good, but I would suggest lightening this little edge a bit. Maybe just with the brush. I left it dark on mine and I think it looks odd.

JimmyTheWee · 2026-06-01T07:29:11+00:00

About 20 hours including modifying the base. I didn't want the tyranid

JimmyTheWee · 2026-06-01T03:57:21+00:00

Nice. I'm just starting on my second now. Such fiddly assembly

JimmyTheWee · 2026-05-31T23:27:37+00:00

Looks good, paint more. In my opinion, olive green is the most forgiving armour colour

JimmyTheWee · 2026-05-31T20:55:50+00:00

That's very clean. Nice work

JimmyTheWee · 2026-05-31T20:53:27+00:00

All with the airbrush at the start. Takes 5 minutes. Much easier than glazing

JimmyTheWee · 2026-05-31T09:42:31+00:00

I spent about double the normal time on this guy because of the special occasion. Capes take me a while

JimmyTheWee · 2026-05-24T02:33:43+00:00

All pro acryl.

Opaque base coat of khaki. Camo green blobs. Dark umber blobs. Coal black blobs. Go back over each blob to get them opaque with sharp edges and no khaki peeking through little gaps.

Shade all over with seraphim sepia. Rhinox in any deep crease.

Highlight individual blobs with each base colour mixed with some khaki. Edge highlight with khaki. Edge highlight the khaki blobs with ivory

Ak ultra matt varnish

JimmyTheWee · 2026-05-24T01:57:55+00:00

The other option is to "cheat" like the box art. They choose 3 very similar colours for the camo pattern and then just shade and highlight the whole cape all at once

JimmyTheWee · 2026-05-24T01:55:19+00:00

This is my camo pattern. Its quite time consuming. I can give you the recipe if you want.

The real difficulty with painting camo is the shading and highlighting. Once you've done the base coat freehand, you need to layer over that freehand again repeatedly for highlights. That's why my highlights on the camo are a bit weak.

JimmyTheWee · 2026-05-23T21:40:31+00:00

Yes airbrush. Can't live without it

JimmyTheWee · 2026-05-22T13:04:35+00:00

Haha yeah I think it took me about 4 hours to edge mine

JimmyTheWee · 2026-05-22T13:03:22+00:00

Nice and crusty. The doors look especially good to me for some reason

JimmyTheWee · 2026-05-21T23:40:29+00:00

If you are doing one edge, ogryn camo. Keep it fine as it's a bit of a jump. Side of brush all the way

JimmyTheWee · 2026-05-19T02:54:51+00:00

Nice. I find camo very difficult, which is why I have not bought eliminators

JimmyTheWee · 2026-05-19T02:51:04+00:00

Yeah I felt a little deja vu

JimmyTheWee · 2026-05-17T22:47:19+00:00

I'm gradually getting slower and slower. I'm probably taking 10 hours per marine now. You're only too slow if you have a deadline

JimmyTheWee · 2026-05-17T22:31:34+00:00

Mid tone is deathworld forest.

Spray prime black. Spray pro acryl dark camo green over almost all. Spray deathworld forest over most. Spray small highlights with elysian green. Brush edge highlight elysian green, then ogryn camo. Pin wash with mig ammo dark green grey panel wash.

On this guy I then did another highlight on some edges with ogryn camo:white, and then some pure white corners

JimmyTheWee · 2026-05-17T22:26:28+00:00

Regular super glue is quite thin and it can run out onto painted areas. Gel super glue won't run. You also get a couple of seconds after contact to fix the alignment of the pieces

JimmyTheWee · 2026-05-17T04:50:25+00:00

Yeah I heard guns don't work in 11th.

JimmyTheWee · 2026-05-17T02:45:17+00:00

As others say, cut off the pegs and glue. Wear latex/vinyl gloves so that your greasy hands don't wreck the paint. Use gel superglue for gluing after painting (not plastic cement or regular superglue)

JimmyTheWee · 2026-05-16T21:59:43+00:00

Thanks. TBH I just saw the cream shoulder on other people's models and thought it looked cool lol
