VVs are awesome, just watch out for a points jump creeping up on them. What chapter traits are you running with?
The suggested traits for Blood Ravens are Stalwart (a little meh for my detachment, but usable) and Knowledge is Power (totally wasted). But, I believe those are only suggestions, not requirements. Maybe I could replace the psychic one with something more helpful to a bunch of lightning claws.

Yeah, Whirlwind of Rage and the +1 to charge one would probably go a long way.

And here's the Kunnin' Krew!

I still think it's an incredibly dumb name, but I also appreciate that's probably part of the joke. Still, they were fun to paint up, and I have a deck all set up for them - can't wait to get them on the table.

A couple power armored dudes next, then I'll probably put the Truthseekers together in preparation for getting that lovely pirate ogre.
Feel free to call me Dave!

I can't scroll past Primarch's giant spider fast enough. :shock:
Aww…I think it’s kind of cute. Look at those beautiful green eyes! ;)

Let the spider and Krew fight. Then we decide who the cutest is!

@Jye - Nice looking stormcast.
@ToD - Those goblins look great. The bright red and dark metals contrast (see what I did there?) nicely.

Some recent stuff from me.
A Tau stealthsuit.

Nice weathering on that stealthsuit! Looks bloody good indeed.

If I may be so bold, however, as to suggest a more contrasting tone for the base? Obviously, that would make it far less effective as a stealth suit, but it'd help it pop as a mini. Maybe even a significantly darker shade of the same colour? Just something to help shape the form of the mini, which is currently blending in with the base to make the lower half of the fig look a bit amorphous.

Weathering's still ace, though 👍

eh, y'know. Stuff, and things

Wow. And then Corona happened. Just....crickets, all the way through to 2023...

Thanks. The weathering is a mix of sponge-work and weathering powders. Nothing too complex.

As for the base, do you mean the base rim or the upper surface of the base? (or both?)
Hmm. Maybe something in a martian reddish tone.....


And some more of my work.
Some robots for This Is Not A Test.

And a Dread for my 30K World Eaters. The body is from a regular Venerable Dreadnought with the Aquila filed off and some spikey bits added. The pilot's helm is a Mk.III from the heresy tactical kit. The guns are from Jus' magical 3D mini factory.
