The camo is pretty cool. You don't often see it done. And I like the silencer/suppressor on the boltgun.
Raptors Legion WIP Army
5
Yo, I'm building a Raptors army with a Jungle type camo theme. I'm actually quite excited about it. Let me know what you guys think.
I might as well start with the Chapter Master, Lias "The Grim" Issodon. This mini is actually kind of special to me, because it's the first metal space marine I ever owned. It's been painted and stripped about 4x. This version, I hope, should be permanent.

My favorite part of this model is the bolter. I did my research, and really wanted to capture his custom bolter, Malice. Imperial Armour 9 says that Lias carries around a heavily modified Omen pattern bolt gun. I searched all over the internet and could not find what an Omen pattern bolt gun was, or what one looks like. I just had to let my imagination run wild.

I cut the original model's bolt pistol at a strategic location, attached an Ork Shoota, and used a piece of brush cover as a makeshift silencer. The strap is actually a twisty tie. The original model had a chainsword too, but I scrapped that in favor of a sword. The backpack is from the old Marneus Calgar model.

I also painted a Chaplain I recently stripped with Mean Green. Nothing really special about this one, except that he looks awesome.

Next I'm going to paint a couple Land Speeders equipped with Multimeltas and Flamers.

Well crap, I wasn't aware. I assumed they would have a Jungle Tan, frolick on the beaches and drink Mojitos and shit lol. I have Imperial Armour 9, and am reading through it now. I'll probably finish it before I paint any more. Hopefully it will give me some more background and stuff.
Yea
I ran out of Matt, and haven't bought any. I blame my impatience and my camera. The flash made them xtra shiny. 8mp Camera really shows those imperfections. They look better in real life lol. I'll have to find a way to dull them down a little. Maybe with a wash or something.EDIT: I built a lightbox today, and took some pics without flash. I'm still working on the lighting, but here is a pic of my speeder in da box. I'm also going to make a trip to the pet store to get me some "Jungle Plants" for the bases.
You can yeah, I would advise a apart if you're painting it on and if someone could advise a Matt spray varnish that's good it'd be appreciated
