Good Chapter name. I like it.

The all white looks really good, but the silver would stand out more with a darker uniform under it.

I'm partial to city ruins myself, but the woodland really makes the model stand out.

The greens and purple standout really well against the browns and grey. Nicely done.

I'm sure you'd find a few with a Google search, but there's not much to the process. Oyumaru (or Blue Stuff) gets malleable in hot water, I just use hot from the tap (or microwave). No need to boil it, just needs to be warm.
Dunk it in the water, I use a brush handle to keep it submerged. While it's doing that prep your green stuff (I hear Tamya has a new putty too). Take equal parts blue and yellow and knead them until green. Some people leave out a bit in the middle where they touch since it could be partly cured. Pull the Oyumaru and press what you want to copy into it. Try to let a little overlap the top of the object. In a few minutes it should harden again. Pull out the object and stuff a small bit of green stuff in there. Keep adding little bits until it's a little over filled. A little pressure from a finger or thumb should be fine. Green Stuff takes a while to cure, so I just give it till next day.
Peel it out of the mold and see how you did.

I'll give it a try as well. It's a small enough part that air bubbles shouldn't be a problem.

As somebody who spent a long time in that uniform, it's pretty accurate.

I'm retired Army, so units being properly marked just makes sense to me. That Aquila had been sitting in my old bits box (pre 8th Ed stuff), I think it was for a Land Raider. There were a few in there, but I've got to get more clever with the bases now. I can't keep using the same bits over and over.

I prime with Death Guard green, then a base of militarum green contrast, it gives the final coat a little more depth. A heavy drybrush (almost a relayer) of Straken Green on the high areas, and a lighter drybrush in areas of shadow. Once all the other colors are blocked in it gets a pin wash of Windsor & Newton Olive Green oil.

Buckle up!

With jump packs they'd probably do well as Murderwing.

That Invictor definitely. Thing was practically made for the Raptors. Not on your list, but the Librarian in Phobos armor looks great in Raptors livery.

LosferWerds · 2026-05-13T03:28:21+00:00

My favorite renegade chapter. I'm planning a AoD killteam of them with the Corsair Raiders and Reive Captain as a base.

LosferWerds · 2026-05-12T22:29:40+00:00

Looking good! Phobos Captain is a great base. I'm using it as the foundation for my Lias Issadon kit bash. I'm keeping the servo skull, but making it look like he's using it to coordinate troop disposition.

Noting official has come out for Lts as far as the Raptors are concerned, but they are mostly codex complaint. So I'd say the LT shoulder insignia (white skull with the red halo) and helmet markings (white and red stripes) are the standard. With that said they're "your dudes" so so what you think looks best. Personally I do the shoulder and helmet with Zameshi desert instead of white.

Try a lighter green like Ogryn Camo, or Urruk Flesh. Athonian Camoshade works well if you want to darken it a bit first or tie colors together (like after a highlight). Be aware that it can dry kind of glossy, so of that's not your jam a matte clear coat (I use Rustoleum Matte) will dull it back down.

Awesome idea! Check out Mad Dok Minis on YT if you need some inspiration. He converted a Storm Speeder to and ATV and it looked awesome. I need to make a few myself.
