My Final Raven Guard 1.5K List - SM BA allied

This has taken me a while to work out. Basically I didnt really want to take a full BA list as there are some traits that are a bit of a stretch. I like the Storm talon model and the rules look pretty good as well. I think think this is fluffy and Im going to devise some fluff for 8th company RG to explain the BA traits, should be pretty easy with the RG Geneseed.

SM
Captain

TH, JP, artificer armour 170

8 sternguard
4 combis.
Drop pod 255

tac squad x 10

HB, PG, serg with powersword
Drop pod = 230

8 scouts
cloaks and snipers = 138

1 speeder, HF and MM 70

2 speeders, MM's and Typhoon missiles = 200

Stomrtalon, missile = 155

---------

BA 

Libby = 100

8 assault marines

flamer and sergeant with LC and meltabomb = 179

=1497

The idea is to have the libby supporting the Sternguard and Tacs. Probably attached to the Sternguard. The Storm Talon is going to hang around the back of the board with the snipers providing cover fire. The LS are my suicide units that are going to aggresively take out vehicles or weaken hard units. The ass rines may hang back or support the tacs and Sternguard depending on mission etc.

And Im probably boring ya'll now!

But I dont care! Im finding it quite motivating to post a pic when I have completed a model!

This Kastoral-Novem campaign decal is helping to break up the black.....

Anyhow got this guy done, sarge next. Cheers.

Another guy done...

Yo

I have built my first FW Mk6 guy. These models are awesome the detail is really crisp and the proportions on the legs etc are slightly skinnier but in much better proportion. Im not sure you can really tell the difference here, but tbh it was just a better experience painting and building and as im not buying stuff on mass anymore I may invest in some more armour variants at a later date. Pics

PS apologies for the lined paper its all I had as a background to hand! (Pod could you print me off one of those swanky A3 blue grad back grounds?)

Slight Change of Direction

Wassup

Im slightly changing my army, but not in a sense of list or dex. Although Ravenguard are awesomely cool, I fear my army no matter how much effort I put into it will look like I just undercoated it from a distance. So for some spice I ordered this book from the black library and I aim to make a joint White Scar -  Raveguard force using this book for inspiration. I think I will fulfil 1.5k of RG, but I reckon I will have completed the force before the Tale of the Gamers deadline. Anyone read this?
