I painted up some detachments of Ravenguard for Specialist games.  They did a little spotlight on three armies (mine's the top)

and, some of my own photos http://www.nightserpent.com/ravenguard.html

a preview:



It was a fun project, certainly a change of pace if anything.   They picked a tough chapter to make interesting, as Ravenguard is just basic black with a complex chapter symbol.  I tried hard to not make them look like silhouettes, but still be a rich black.

Fantastic work. I was happy to see this article on the SG site!

Great to see those close ups too.

Excellent work Nightserpent, and kudos for you for getting them up on SG, well done. :cool:

Would you be willing to let me use them on De'Aynes?

Cheers, ~G

Let's just say that you sure know how to paint.  :wow:

And you seem to be a skilled artist as well.  Great drawings. :cool:

Realy really nice stuff! :cool:
I like the use of the dusty colours to bring out the highlights.

Cheers! :)

Nice to have you pop your head back in, too. :D

If I could get someone to play Epic with me more than once or twice a year, I'd probably poke my head in more often.    :/   40K is pretty much the focus in my neck of the woods.

Too bad you don't live a little closer to me.  :down:  I live in Connecticut.

Very nice work indeed.

Your freehand work is superb & I'm particularly fond of the effect you've used on the vehicles - the weathered look looks great, adding the depth & bringing out the detail in the models without greying the tone of the figure - one I must try out sometime myself!

Thanks!

That was the real challenge, helping define the forms without changing the overall color of the models.  With anything but black, you can shade.  So, I tried to add interest by putting more attention into the iconography and squad markings.
