Dealing With Tanks
Nevermore?
With the coming release of the new edition of the Horus Heresy my old podcast WhatsApp group started getting used a fair bit more and we have all made noises about getting back into the game and potentially meeting up. I'd been toying with a Raven Guard army for the Heresy ever since reading Deliverance Lost and had actually painted and played with them a few times before as a 40k army before my gaming mate and myself got into the 1st edition in 2018(?) and I needed to be traitor so repainted the figures that I owned.
With the new edition, I figured a small, self contained force might be nice. It will be based on the Raptors who are the marines fast grown using the equipment given to Corax by the Emperor who all wear Mark VI armour. I bought a box on a whim and decided to get painting.

Red Butchers
My World Eater project has stalled since the game at the Hutton Hearthguard, partly as I'd like to remove the daemon element I added to fill points and I can't decide what to do, and partly due to a plague of chickenpox affecting both boys while a bad cold took the adults out*.
*It was brutal
While I am working out what my plan is, I decided to just paint the unit of Chaos Terminators that came in a recent Combat Patrol magazine up for this army, as it made more sense to give them a unit than my normal Chaos Marines**.
*I was hoping to buy more than one copy by I was told "a nice young man needed them for his online business"***
***so currently on eBay for 3x the price
I've tried to make these guys match my regular berserkers and I suspect I should have broken up the red armour a touch more like I've done on my later World Eater models.
