Good evening bunnies!
Tonight I will be showing you my finished Mor Deythan squad for my Raven Guard! In the fluff, these are one of my favourite units for the 19th Legion and the models look awesome.
I decided to go for combi-bolters as the rules for sniper rifles make them about as much use as a shirt with a back pocket. To balance them and make them more utility and less spam I went for a mixture of flavours, 2 melta, 2 plasma and a flamer to protect from that pesky charging unit.
On Hespanza Alpus the Mor Deythan were a high priority target for the Warboss, Karghol. Showing a level of tactical awareness that regularly escapes Orks, he sent wave after wave of his infantry at the 'long distance shooty men'. By the time the first wave arrived the Mor Deythan were dug-in.
They switched to their combi-bolters and unleashed a torrent of fire, distracting the Xenos forces from the remainder of the outflanking Raven Guard forces.
The Mor Deythan stood proud in Corax's honour.
I hope that you have enjoyed my post. I have a few more units coming up and then I will do a post showing the whole army together. Tonight I have been play testing some really cool stuff for an upcoming campaign. No timescales to confirm currently but it will be worth the wait....in my opinion lol
Until next time. Stay fluffy!
Kaelo
These guys just look cool! Great work! :D
ReplyDeleteThanks buddy :)
DeleteNicely done Kaelo :-) I really like the subtle contrasting silver on the shoulder pads :-)

ReplyDeleteThanks mate :)
DeleteI love final picture as well as the paint job. It would be completely unnecessary but editing the model out and just leaving the shadow would be really cool.
ReplyDeleteThanks, yeah it's a pretty cool pic now I look at it :D like the Phantom Menace but without the lurking evil lol
DeleteLove your stuff, but a small complaint. They way you do your bases, in long distance shots it looks like they are un based. That would be fixed by adding a splash of color to the top of the base or the ring. Then again the minimalist approach does make sense for a group that operates in the shadows
ReplyDeleteYeah it doesn't show up well in photos. Drake, Castiel and I all do them the same way. The idea is that mud can be found on all battlefields lol. Thanks for your kind words :)
DeleteNice Raven Guard mate!
ReplyDeleteCheers bud :)
DeleteWell done brother. I prefer the sniper look, but as you say, they don't really work well, nor do the rules accurately reflect a sniper/sniper unit.
