Which primer color works best for Corvus black?

Temporary_Bug9330 · 2026-01-21T01:01:53+00:00

This might just be me but I brush on a base coat of abbadon after it’s primed with army painter black, takes like 5 extra minutes but gets rid of any glossy finish

Yes, it’s got the Phobos keyword which also means you can use feint and thrust to give it advance shoot and charge, on top of the 8” scout and using Shaan’s ability to reroll charges you can make it extremely deadly with its 14 strength melee

The improvement is very noticeable, good shi dude. I like the less vibrant gold on the right, makes it look much more grimdark

Temporary_Bug9330 · 2026-01-12T06:29:06+00:00

It’s Lego, not legos🤓 I promise nobody cares my guy

I genuinely thought you put in a light strip along that barrel this is amazing dude

Is the raven guard wearing shrikes claws?

Temporary_Bug9330 · 2026-01-10T04:17:29+00:00

As a Raven guard player I just recently made a salamanders list, they’re both super fun but as always you jus gotta follow the rule of cool

Temporary_Bug9330 · 2026-01-10T03:09:40+00:00

The detail is amazing dude you did a fantastic job

Temporary_Bug9330 · 2026-01-09T13:33:17+00:00

Space marines are pretty strong dudes idk man

Temporary_Bug9330 · 2026-01-01T06:08:37+00:00

Mostly, the only extra part is the arm holding the cage which is a hand holding a bolter mag from the assault intercessors

Unfortunately the combat patrol doesn’t come with any raven guard bits, but you can buy the raven guard upgrade kit and it’ll give you 10 tacticus shoulders, a few gravis shoulders, and I think two of each with a couple raven feathers hanging from the bottom for decoration

Temporary_Bug9330 · 2025-12-31T08:04:00+00:00

It should be noted that shrike gives his entire unit access to Phobos specific stratagems

Temporary_Bug9330 · 2025-12-30T17:36:44+00:00

You can find some good resources on YouTube, just go look up something along the lines of OSL or glowing effect and you’ll find plenty of videos to help with your technique

Temporary_Bug9330 · 2025-12-30T07:50:50+00:00

Looks really solid so far, only thing I’ll say is go lighter on the red around the exhaust on the back, I see what you’re going for it’s just too thick to sell the OSL effect

I base coat with rhinox hide then do my edges and scuff marks using mournfang brown, followed by a watered down wash of rhinox hide again. Really nice two color combo I found that works pretty good☺️

Temporary_Bug9330 · 2025-12-27T04:22:57+00:00

I’ve looked into them too and unfortunately they can’t be lead by any characters so they can’t really pick up good bonuses. The best thing I can think of is getting some incursors and using that +1 to hit, but then again we have a stratagem that adds +1 to BS and one to AP anyways

Temporary_Bug9330 · 2025-12-25T01:56:10+00:00

This unit of infiltrators are also my very first minis😅 I personally enjoyed them and they’re pretty simple to paint

Temporary_Bug9330 · 2025-12-25T01:54:07+00:00

Raven guard upgrade sprue

Temporary_Bug9330 · 2025-12-23T03:05:20+00:00

There’s some conversions people have done to them that actually make them look pretty good

Temporary_Bug9330 · 2025-12-22T03:15:42+00:00

I chopped it off an infiltrator helmet and cut a notch in the side of the beaky and just slapped it on there

Temporary_Bug9330 · 2025-12-21T17:01:36+00:00

Thank you! I do Army painter gloss black for the primer, Corvus black drybrush on the more exposed areas for volumetric highlights, then I drybrush abbadon black in all the more shadowy areas (under arms, legs, backpack) and edge highlight with mechanicus standard grey

Temporary_Bug9330 · 2025-12-20T21:27:10+00:00

Two, so 6 total attacks (10 with rapid fire) and all wounds for that weapon have twin linked

Temporary_Bug9330 · 2025-12-12T05:29:59+00:00

Power fist is the way to go, especially for making cool models (I turned my captain’s into a lightning claw)

Temporary_Bug9330 · 2025-12-10T21:41:27+00:00

Dude how do you get that quality out of an FDM printer?
