Legion's Bobperialis
1st Raven Guard
Well it’s my favourite legion and in the Spirit of doing it the wrong way round, again I began with Aeronautica units.
I had previously on managed to Finish One Flight of Xyphons which were done in more of .40k scheme, though it works for pre Dropsite massacre Crusade.
Above and the following recently completed were all done the same way. Black coloured models are really more shades of grey with shadow for best effect.
So GW Grey Seer base
GW Black Templar Contrast over the top, tend to thin to about 75% as its easier to darken model with Nuln Oil if not dark enough.
Them dry brush with an MP paints mid Grey to add to shading.
Then a very light Corvus White dry brush over top.
Then use Army Painter Enchanted Steel for Metallics with a Nuln oil wah to add to shading.
The next units done were the partly done Thunderhawk and Fire Raptors, the Former had been nearly finished for Aeronautica so is more Crusade era , where everything late was left more monotone for post the Dropsite massacre.
Now that was all my already purchased air contingent done, but I found my Local Warhammer store still had old Aeronautica stock in the stock room, so more Stormeagles, Fire Raptors and Valkyries brought ( I know the later and Vulture are not stated in base rule book but they will be added)
