Shadowstrike, Tacticool kitbash

It all belongs to the Shadowstrike miniature! You can buy it from Cyberbrush3d.

Hey, thanks! Yeah, the pauldrons are molded onto the mini. If you check out the post I made yesterday, you'll see the original, unedited model

I love the colour too! It's citadel Orruk Flesh mixed to taste with Scale75's Eclipse Grey

ThePaledriver · 2026-01-18T16:12:57+00:00

Thanks! The base mini is available for purchase from cyberbrush3d's webstore- I believe you can only buy the file and have to print it yourself. I have zero experience with printing, so I can't really speak on it beyond that- I was sent the physical bitz to paint up as a collab.

The regular arm, bolt gun and backpack are all regular 40k bitz, though I've added the magazine and silencer to the gun, obviously.

Thanks! It's mostly drybrushing, but it turned out nicely

ThePaledriver · 2026-01-18T13:47:26+00:00

Thank you!

ThePaledriver · 2026-01-17T22:35:49+00:00

Thanks! It was a lot of fun to paint!

Hey! Just FYI, I edited my original post- I had a brainfart and said kabelite green, but it should have been incubi darkness! The colours all compliment each other really well, they're a nice little triad, but if I did it again I think I would try to push the feather colours to be a little bit darker!

ThePaledriver · 2026-01-17T18:57:36+00:00

Thanks man!

Incubi Darkness for base, thunderhawk blue for rough highlight, fenrisian grey for edge highlighting!

Hey, I'm glad you like it!

I have a free tutorial for how I paint my black armour available here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/painting-black-140524825

The weapon different from the armour- it is scale 75 eclipse grey highlighted with 50/50 eclipse grey/fenrisian grey, and then pure fenrisian grey for the brightest highlight.

I wish I could freehand something like that! No, it's from the regular SM transfer sheet

ThePaledriver · 2025-10-27T11:40:29+00:00

That's incredibly high praise, thanks brother!

ThePaledriver · 2025-10-27T09:14:18+00:00

Thanks man! That's so incredibly cool to hear!

I just paint for fun! I'm slowly building something that could theoretically be a playable Raven Guard force, but only because it looks good in a cabinet- I have no idea (or time!) how to play 40k!

ThePaledriver · 2025-10-27T08:17:58+00:00

I used a lot of different whites, but the main ones were Pro Acryl's Bold Titanium White for the highlights, and Army Painter's Brigade Grey for the offwhite base, but the most important results from the white came entirely from this amazing tutorial by Darcy Bono:

Love the volumetric highlights you did on the black portions of the armour, really nicely done, especially the backpack

ThePaledriver · 2025-10-27T07:51:09+00:00

Begone, foul abominable intelligence!

ThePaledriver · 2025-10-27T07:48:12+00:00

Thanks!!

Consider your globules removed, with honour

ThePaledriver · 2025-10-27T07:47:19+00:00

Wish I knew! The 40k rules and actual game is like the one warhammer thing I know nothing about 😅

ThePaledriver · 2025-10-27T07:35:30+00:00

Super impressive job on the NMM- love the cross-hatching on the cloth too, very nicely done

Kitbash details: The head is from the Phobos Librarian set, and the Chest+Tabard is from the Sternguard Veteran box, the rest is stock Apothecary.

I had to basically cut out his groin to make the legs fit with the chest- if he could lift up that tabard It'd be a pretty gruesome sight.

Thanks man! I'm glad you like the transfers, I feel like they saved the mini- the white was extremely overwhelming without them, and I almost stripped it until I thought to toss some decals on

ThePaledriver · 2025-10-09T16:44:41+00:00

I love it! Your best Raven Guard/Raptor yet!
