I know what you could do, intercessors with breaching sheilds or maby a assult intercessors squad. Ps could it be a ten man squad from unique characters in those squades and maby have the camo painting on there armor as some raptors have that

[@thecactusnoob8903]

Would it be Possible to make jaghatai khan? I would love to see how you would make it :)

[@PTurbo4th]

Hey Pete. I was wondering if the Inner Circle can be something else. I want to make "Bladeguard " out of them for my Deathwatch "not heretic lineage" successor chapter. But I feel the amount of DA details may be too much to work around. Cheers mate

[@Av4ta7]

Looks a bit like a Sam Fisher Type Charakter based in 40K. He has those vibes. And we all know how hard Sam hits his enemies.

[@sweaterketchup2730]

Nice conversion!! I think you should try converting a Raptors Terminator squad, and make them look like modern tanks, with extra supplies, armor panels, and communications equipment attached to them, to fit the Raptors’ utilitarian vibe

[@crimsonrider0411]

Maybe a dreadnaught instead? Give it a big tank cannon on the arm or something.

[@carsonglenn1389]

I’m pretty certain in one of the live streams he said he wanted to do terminators

[@darykeng]

*_Terminators with ERA_*

[@KillerOrca]

@@darykeng This man gets it.

[@lacreatura6132]

BRILLIANT idea honestly

[@the_king_of_kings_3413]

Honestly, it’s a really nice thought that even in a chapter about efficiency, he still made time to do falconing and train a pet to help with his job lol.

[@fenrirsrage4609]

I def feel like the Raptors would be allowed to have Hobbies as long as it can be used in the field.

[@oliverupdyke1429]

Could we see a whole army showcase when u are finished? I would love to see that! This army looks amazing!,

[@sagēzin1111]

bump

[@Jacksonmontyart]

Commented the same thing !

[@PeteTheWargamer]

Will do!

[@graefx]

The splinter cell goggles against the skull mask is a hell of a combination. Really evocative of what you're going for.

[@thefinalanubis]

I'd personally like to see a kitbash of a Raptor Dreadnought. I know they HAVE them but since the Raptors wear camo and are more tactical in their approach to combat, I'd like to see how a Dreadnought would be done in that style

[@PeteTheWargamer]

The Invictor would definitely work well in that role, even though it technically isn't a dreadnought!

[@LadZeroUltra]

@@PeteTheWargamerI read the above comment and was going to suggest the invictor, with one caveat however. To make the model fit the raptors extremely practical vibe i think a conversion featuring some additional armor around the cockpit would be fitting. Im not sure exactly what you would use but reinforcements around the pilot cage would look very tactical, giving off a feel similar to WW2 tank commanders sitting half out of the turret hatch. A better visual description would be like a Medieval Bevor, a piece of armor mounted to the shoulders that provided additional neck protection. Except in this case you might mount it to the upper part of the “pelvis” area on the invictor. something like that shielding the invictor pilot from ground-fire would be very cool.

[@connorshort2308]

Can always use a dreadnought torso with warsuit everything else

[@thefinalanubis]

@PeteTheWargamer yeah, but an Invictor wouldn't look as cool as a Dreadnought would with the camo and ghillie suit bits that the Raptors have been known to wear. Plus, the Invictor is kinda silly. I mean, a combat suit with a hand-held boltgun? What happens if you drop it and can't get it back? Really haven't seen any Invictor kitbashes though. If anyone could do one, whether it be a heavily-armed "super" version or something really out there such as, oh idk, a Nurgle-corrupted version piloted by some Nurglings, it'd be you.

[@BrandonL337]

@@PeteTheWargamer I feel like the Ballistus would as well, basically filling the role of a fire-support tank, but walking.

[@TheeYellowDart]

I love the cradled rifle pose; looks so natural and confident.

[@AnotherViewBot]

I think it's lacking a shoulder strap, the current pose looks like he's holding it weird since he isn't using all his fingers to grip it.

[@w4rpf1nnlad]

Raptor dreadnought would be so cool (maybe working also as cargo carrier for his battle-brothers). Lias looks very tacticool and painjob is awesome.😊

[@dr.sommercamp3435]

Aw, what an awefull idea: You got abducted as a kid. You got pcycho indoctrinated and operated into an uncaring combat monster. You fought for hundrets of years. You got mortaly wounded, trapped for eternity into a metal coffin and now you have to carry your comrads gear as well, aaaargh! Absolutly dreadfull, I'm Loving it!😂

[@w4rpf1nnlad]

@@dr.sommercamp3435 Its not that bad. "Brother Targos, after you destroy that drukhari skimmer can you hunch down so i can get some heavy bolter ammo and melta grenades, please." 😅

[@Hiyama420]

Right after I build my own Chapter Master for the Raptors, Lias returns! Curses! Amazing work. As a fellow Raptors player I've been following your progress closely from the very first Kill Team video. It's given me a lot of inspiration to convert and kitbash myself some Tacticool Space Marines! Can't wait to see what you come up with next!

[@benthomaswoodward]

I love your chapter, would you do a consider doing a video just show casing your finished collection so far? I know we can go back and watch your videos to see it but it would be really cool to see it all laid out. Keep up the great work it's always a delight to see you have uploaded something.

[@PeteTheWargamer]

Once I have a few more units (maybe a 1000pts) I'll try and get a showcase in!

[@zachzolikoff3402]

I love your space marine conversions! Its always rad seeing you make the ornate primaris space marines into tactical soldiers.

[@LOVEMUFFIN_official]

Love this, as chapter masters tend to be heavy-hitters with heavy armor and weapons. This guy strikes me as the one with his eye on everything, giving him a tactical approach like a tru battlefield officer.

[@1987nightrap]

Awesome, I love the addition of the cyber bird

[@BruiserActual]

Seriously one of my favorite conversions so far. Simple, clean, yet dynamic and intentional 💪🏼

[@toeb1n]

Would love to see some chaos-y conversions on some of the new dark angel knights or inner circle guys. great video!

[@IgnacioGlezCllo]

Mental!! This is proper ‘new standard’ level kitbash and paint job.

[@jamesalquist]

You see Lias Issodon, Chapter Master of the Raptor Space Marines. I see Sam Fisher, sneaking his way into 40K.

[@fenrirsrage4609]

What several years of having no games does to a mf

[@benscerri6472]

Once again, INCREDIBLE work. Would love to see the Raptor take on a Librarian, and I can't wait to see the full force of the Raptors down the track!

[@UltraMeanMarines]

Anyone else, at the beginning of Pete’s vids, when the light is just right, see his hair blend into his chair and think he has grown out a beautiful mullet?

[@dinoman1172]

Love this series of conversions! If you're planning to do more characters I think a Raptors Librarian would be cool to see.

[@VonBismarkus]

Could be badass but I reckon the Phobos Librarian is already pretty much perfect for a tacticool wizard.

[@PeteTheWargamer]

I've got some plans to run a Phobos Librarian with some Eliminators so expect to see at least one in the future.

[@Jacksonmontyart]

I’d be cool if you ended each video in this series showing off the army in its entirety. The models look amazing but man is it cool seeing them all together !

[@Peter_nzl97]

That helmet is just perfection.

[@Th3StunFr3eak]

what an insanely sick looking chapter master! I love all you're Raptors viseos so much and I appreciate the detailed painting instructions, as they give me a lot of inspiration! excited to see more Raptors models in the future!

[@CyclopsWasRight]

That's absolutely amazing. I'm blown away by your skilled painting. Bravo.

[@PlasticAddict301]

Custom Chapter Masters are such a great opportunity to make the most badass characters possible. If I weren't so afraid to mess up my Adrax model I might have done more than replace his Salamanders tilt shield lol.

[@RainMakeR_Workshop]

The idea of a grounded tactical and practical Space Marine army has always been one of my favourite army concepts... My other favourite being medieval knights in space lol.

[@slamamander4652]

now all i can think is "Sam Fisher as a space marine" thanks for this lovely video.

[@zigzagarisen]

The cyber-raptor is such an amazing touch

[@halfcrafted]

Love the addition of the cyber falcon! and glad you could squeeze at least one pouch in there for the pouch haters 😁

[@omnissiahGaspar]

I think a cool conversion would be some bladeguard. Potentially you could replace the swords with knives and shields with slab/riot shields as well as this the details could be all tacticool-ed up

[@mikey_vengenz]

I love the utilitarian vibe of your raptors.

[@kiwiwarlord8152]

A chapter master without a tactical rock? my my, the raptors truly are pragmatic.

[@chuckmaurice]

I have the same base miniature from the former SM combat patrol, I was planning on selling it because it doesn't really fit the style of my army, but your kitbash inspired me to make my own "tactical Black Templar" version. Awesome work as usual!

[@nacht_wraith3788]

I don't play or paint but I love watching the conversion videos especially the raptors.

[@CHKNFRGZ]

I love that the Oculus Imperia just released a lore video on the Raptors chapter the day before yesterday. It made me even more excited to see more kitbashes of them from you!

[@nacidocoqui]

5:11 Yep, that sounds about right for a Raptors Chapter Master to me. Still, some great ideas here that I'm going to wholesale lift when I start on my Lias Issodon! 😬

[@Zach_Walker]

The pose is great. It looks like he's ordering his forces to advance after taking out an enemy with his knife since he wouldn't have it out unless he was using it.. The rifle being cradled adds to that since he wouldn't use it at such a close range unless someone got the jump on him while he was already using it since switching weapons could waste precious time. I can easily imagine that he just stabbed a Tau pathfinder or Chaos cultist that was on patrol, strayed too far from their group, and was unfortunate enough to be in his path.

[@scenczyk1429]

Best one yet for the raptors. The helmet makes me think of the hexmark destroyer. Very cool changes, might pinch a couple

[@samwright1821]

He looks absolutely incredible. An excellent conversion as always🦅

[@Angelos966]

I would love to see a Dark Eldar Killteam video, they amount of kitbashing you can do between the various Aeldari factions is huge, especially if you want to tap into the Age of Sigmar elves

[@MrCSisley]

I have one idea, but it's a little... odd Lieutenant / Captain in Centurion Armour... A little thing to be unique for your specific iteration of Raptors, and with Raven Guard tactics, imagine a hulking great marine suddenly begins the enemy in a jungle EDIT: Plus, imagine him being flanked by a full unit of Centurions

[@craigcook5121]

Always wicked looking models. Love the raptors. They rock and so do u.

[@LeoNepeta]

He does look like a commander of some kind, but definitely lacks the level of prestige a Chapter Master usually commands.

[@chef_Jeremy]

I think thats what he was going for? The chapter is all about efficiency and lack of frills, he made a point of cutting off purity seals and other stuff. His skill as a sniper is what got him to the level of chapter master

[@Ammonitemare1711]

Using a kharadron kit for the night vision goggles is crazy resourceful and it works incredibly well! I thought it was a 3d printed head at first!

[@bastianniemand7460]

Großartiger Umbau und ein wahrer Blickfang!

[@justhere9731]

I think a good way to discern him from the rest of the army (that you can do with all your characters) would be to add a corpse on the base. This lets you add an easily noticeable detail that opponents can see while not affecting the “tacticalness” of the model itself.

[@Naim_less]

These conversions are always incredible and a source of inspiration for my own conversion attempts!

[@Spartan12]

Absolutely love it! Have always thought about doing raptors or raven guard, and this video only makes me lean more Raptors. Thank you for sharing!

[@Throckfest]

Raptor Terminators and/or a Dreadnought would be cool.

[@NynesGG]

It looks amazing! I think maybe somehow adding the camo shroud would help with selling the character aspect a little more in a tacti-cool way, but I think he looks great with or without. I cant wait to see everything all together!

[@Sean-ss8rb]

Would love to see a raptors vehicle! Maybe a gladiator lancer or a repulsor executioner kit bashed with a scale model kit for a more modern tank look

[@urbani8231]

I haven't built my space marines yet. The Raptors are one chapter I am considering.

[@David-gp4tb]

I lost all my warhammer materials being homeless this year and watching your channel is very cathartic for me :)

[@Enigma..]

I’d love to see you make an apothecary, tech marine and ancient chapter standard bearer or even a shielded breacher squad of the Raptors, as your kitbashing vision would no doubt create something cool af 🤙🏻

[@TheGalantHamburger]

I’d probably have been too tempted not to have the falcon perched on his outstretched arm…….. also I really enjoy this painting style

[@-Battle-Cry-]

The bird reminds me of Farfetch'd ! Awesome Work 👌👌

[@Matt-md5yt]

I love that birdy.

[@lucidlobster4662]

It's been great watching you build up this army, would be great to see some form of game with them when they're done but I'm worried we could be waiting a while for that!

[@Averagejoepainting]

Awesome chapter master. Would love to see the army on the tabletop. Even if it’s only 500 points. To see them on the battlefield with urban terrain would be amazing.

[@vangrail27]

Always good to see Badab war chapters. I still wanna convert each of the chars for a project

[@tristanlee8495]

Am I insane or was your voice deeper for some reason in the intro

[@GenerationShift92]

I thought that too, Barry white making a guest appearance.

[@treyturner9707]

Would love to see one of the more flamboyant units like a blade guard or the company champions be given the raptors simplification

[@thewayfarer8849]

The raptor and rifle are especially fantastic, some of your best work.

[@tko_5]

More of those cyclone chapter. I added a few from your kit bashing video to my army and they look really cool and everyone really likes them. It'd be cool to see a chapter Master for the them

[@benjoe130793]

Could we see a couple army shots? Been following you for years mate and love your stuff. This project has probably been my favourite to watch. If you could post a couple army shots that would be great 😊

[@bluesheepminecraft]

Nice! I went for something similar with my Dante proxy for my blood angels successor - using phobos armour with minimal adornment as the basis. The multi part eliminator kit also has some beautiful bits for tacticool marines.

[@FooFighterPlyr]

Amazing work Pete, your Chapter Master gives of made Splinter Cell vibes. An idea for your next addition to you army, maybe be some light transport for your Raptors, something la kin to a Black Hawk inspired Land Speeders. And, or maybe some auxilia forces to accompany your marines, a super specialist group like the Lucifer Blacks. hope your well and if you read this thank you.

[@Qutut]

Leaders and troops are nice, but the Raptors need some Heavy, Vehicle-Based Fire Support! Also, once the army is all done, you should absolutely sign 'em up to Armies on Parade!

[@robling1937]

Dude, been following since you made the kill team and it is so satisfying to watch you start making characters. Those goggles are PERFECT!

[@aurel1us123]

I love the helmet conversion

[@MrJoshuakirk85]

I think a more intimidating base would go a long way to make him noticeable, without losing the subtle nature of the character. A clever diorama base could even highlight his stealthy tacticoolness.

[@leonardneubeck1003]

I love the raptor series and the streams

[@MrHandyDad]

Good bash, very nice paint too...

[@richardmorris6000]

Phobos Librarian next, also anyone else notice how good @PeteTheWargamer's painting skill has improved over the years hes been here such a good modeler and painter, love watching these videos, Keep up the good work.

[@stevekearns6173]

So great, I'm so going to make a Raptor squad or two. Awesome!

[@klug5916]

Well, it's a very nice miniature, but it looks only as a lieutenant or captain, not as someone as important as a Chapter Master. For a Chapter Master, even more grounded and realistic, still needs a lots of crazy things to make it look absolutely outstanding and definitely more imposing, not only a nice commander.

[@stuntmankustoms8991]

My goodness this is incredible. I feel bad that I want to clone this model for my Raptors Army, because this should be a GW model kit itself, in my opinion. Well done amigo.

[@codyjackson8648]

About to create a small 1k point army of Raptors for some smaller scale battles of this particular Raven Guard successor. Really cool to see you creating their Chapter Master, something that I may try and repeat myself. Great work!

[@Aarongeddon]

that helmet looks incredible

[@Arjac1312]

Very rad and not over done

[@Hypnotic-tist]

That’s so good Pete! Nice! I love the Goggles sooo much.

[@Bastion85859]

The Raptors version of Boss Snikrot!!!!

[@AverageBritishNerd1138]

Nice conversion Pete! I'd be interested to see what you can do with a Librarian, without just using the default Phobos Librarian.

[@Yormolch]

Can you at some point maybe do a community post showcasing your Raptors army in one nice shot together? Would love to see how many there are in total and seing them as a force together.

[@TheSilentOne50]

Holy shit I've been waiting for a Lias Issodon model forever.
