Hi, can you make a Blood Angel-Night Lord successor Chapter, if you have the time?

[@Venermous_Hunter]

Great video, they looking so good I will be using this techniques for my Astra militarum 🔥🔥👍👍

[@boutinpowered8373]

Looks good! I was hoping to see you expand the KT into a Boarding Actions patrol but this is ok too, lol. KT really is a gateway to bigger armies.

Try putting your micro sol in a needle bottle. Works 100 times better than spilling it or dipping your brush in it

[@JuuzouXIII]

I've always wanted an expensive custom box!

[@regnarissad]

it would be pretty cool to see the new scout models coming out in this paint scheme

[@gunslingerspartan]

Or the eradicators

[@samwright1821]

They look incredible and I’d love to see a continuing series of Raptors conversions. Some Terminators, Outriders and Warsuits/ Dreadnoughts would be great. I’d even like to see you tackle Sternguard Vets and company heroes as Raptors, mainly because they’re the least Raptor/ tactical looking SM units. Would be cool to see you make proxies for them or even heavily convert the original kits.

[@JainZar1]

Maybe a Warsuit with Sarcophagus instead of a regular pilot.

[@garfonzomccarlos8248]

funny how the jump pack csm's are called raptors

[@russianbot7875]

Does that mean if they fall to chaos they would become raptor raptors?

I always wondered if both the CSM jump troops and the Loyalist Chapter were a sly nod to the failed Raptor Project

[@Nezghoul92]

I love the look of the Martian soil under the Raptors but I can’t help think this would be counter intuitive to the Raptor’s mentality. The contrast is beautiful but I can’t help think they would do something to blend in with their environment.

[@reddragoon7981]

I was going to say the same thing - wouldn't they just re-paint their armor to match the environment they are to be deployed to?

[@TomiastheTired4053]

Since Martian soil is red due to the rusted iron in it, maybe these guys are on a world with green plants, and iron rich soil. If that's the case, then their armor matches the environment still

[@harlekincd]

You are right but we got a collision of different mentalities. - Raptors are being stealthy so their armor should fit the soil or their surroundings. - Paintingwise if you have a colorwise boring scheme you have to break that up with the base as a contrast

[@Nezghoul92]

@@harlekincd I suppose that would be the case. I would rather my minis make sense and be lore-accurate then be pretty. That's just my perspective though. Perhaps Pete should have gone with a chapter that was less based on military tactics and mentality if he just wanted pretty minis.

[@TeaAndBullets]

​@@TomiastheTired4053 I can't help but imagine these Raptors fighting in Space Oklahoma because of the red dirt 😂

[@MerryMac1000]

That tip about highlighting around the base to make it look like the figure was casting a shadow was so helpful! These little tips are wonderful for a novice just starting out.

[@pv_hobbying]

I actually think an army planning video would be cool, with what your initial ideas are unit wise and the timeline you are looking to accomplish it by.

[@wigligigly3375]

I out loud screamed ‘YES!’ When I saw a new Raptor team you made! I love the Raptor squad you made and it’s one of my favorite things you’ve done, making a space marine for each different class is so cool. Thank you!

[@snipeyboi5934]

Would love to see your take on the Company Command squad with the Raptors style you've developed. Making their armour into a more militaristic styling could be very cool, especially characters like the Ancient in the squad. Also would like to see some more Risen videos in future, love the content and keep up the great work!

[@WilhelmScreamer]

Especially if he leans into something like a dress uniform

[@jprovorse4159]

I agree with this 100000% raptor command.

[@Tank50us]

@@WilhelmScreamer Could you imagine this same logic being applied to Auxiliary forces as well? That could be quite epic if you ask me.

[@miguipingui]

I would LOVE to see a conversion of the Ravens HQ model into a raptors HQ❤

[@AverageBritishNerd1138]

So good to see the return of the Sensible Marines! The Raptors are my favourite chapter by far, and I'm looking forward to seeing what 'bad paint job' you create for the rest of the units.

[@Wingsoficarus9868]

Nice raptors ever thought of red scorpions

[@nacidocoqui]

16:23 "... isn't exactly top-tier..." Say what? Did we just watch the same video, or is it time to update the prescription on these glasses? This build, from beginning to end, was nothing short of awesome!

I love when Pete says, "and while the painting isn't exactly top tier..." bro this pro level painting come on

[@viktornicht260]

Funny how I come here to watch your raptor Videos basically every evening lol

[@XoriniteWisp]

I'm normally not a fan of Warhammer, neither lore nor aesthetics, but this alternate take looks stunning. Great job!

[@bigspinshit]

Watched all the Raptor videos you made just yesterday. And now a new one?? Made my day! They look great man, inspired me to make my own custom kill team

[@WilhelmScreamer]

I would love to see this tacticool logic applied to some tanks/walkers. Or a techmarine

[@pugums3433]

weirdly nough would love to see a gladiator tank done up as the Raptors. I think itd be very cool to see a large space marine tank with more modern military kit such as slat armor, spaced armor or ERA, cammo netting, more sensor devices and of course packs hanging off the sides for handy storage bits. Amazing video btw, every day you steer me closer to choosing marines as my army

[@captquark13]

Absolutely looking forward to a full Raptors army! Amazing job!

[@Thertra70]

Glad raptors are getting picked back up they were my favorite and just died out of no where

[@magnusmillerwilson]

Absolute genius. Thank you for walking through the “lore” or at least the logic you came up with for mixing the Phobos armor in. Makes a ton of sense and would fit more Chapters than just the Raptors for “medium” armored jump troops.

[@archangel4868]

surprisingly this blending of primaris armours has been done in lore, if you look at the armour a supressor squad is equipped with omnis pattern armour that looks to be a blend of gravis and tacticus.

[@NobalGaming]

One of my favourite paint schemes I've ever seen. Subtle but really stands out to me

[@Fpsdood]

the demo charge made me miss the days of old with assault marines hucking melta bombs. good times.

[@HeyVendy]

I would LOVE to see how the Raptors would look as Terminators. :D

[@ProAmateurGamers]

The orange basecoat eorks really nicely with the ted sand base :0!

[@ImNtDead]

Being a big fan of your old Raptors Kill Team vids I am mostly looking forward to seeing how you will take on the Apothecary and Techmarine characters. Hoping to see them bearing their chapters colors instead of the classic white and red identifying their individual roles therefore finding other ways to identify them on the table top.

[@Frosty-kz4om]

I'm really impressed with how complimentary all the colours are

[@matthewjohnson7398]

They look amazing! I love your kill team style videos!

[@Bass-ef3dr]

I saw your minis in the comunity photos and i got happy knowing we would get this video. Didn't dissapoint, liked every moment.

[@elixiris4101]

Would be cool to see a big vehicle or dreadnought in the practical style of the Raptors!

[@scottshort1487]

Masterclass. Love the kitbashing.

[@JRMcDowell]

nice job. The stippling over the decals is a nice touch.

[@magnusmillerwilson]

That’s genius enough for another comment and a Patreon sub. Using a Contrast paint with airbrush thinner for a pin wash is genius and allows for easy, custom colors of pin wash without having to go enamel and get a bunch of extra products. Thanks for the idea and demo!

[@malcommavrik6649]

I think it'd be great to see some heavier units in the Raptors style. Oftentimes when the chapter is shown, it's usually represented by scouts, phobos units, and generally lighter and more maneuverable marines. However, taking a less conventional route and giving that tactical flare to some bulkier units like terminators, eradicators, or aggressors, could provide an interesting kitbashing opportunity while also resulting in some of the most unique models for a Raptors army.

[@chrismarcoux3990]

Very cool! I've been looking for a Salamander color scheme and this is it!!

[@WeApOnPrImE]

This is going to make the most awesome army!

[@CarnageCoon]

taking mark X tacticus literal, love it! looking forward to their vehicles

[@RuthlessMojo]

I much prefer this method of targeted shading over covering the whole model in a thick layer of oily sludge and then wiping it away. It allows for much nicer detail when your painting and doesn’t drown out all of the work you put into it.

[@epickingedward7378]

Raptors are definitely my favorite chapter, do terminators in camo next with maybe gillies

[@Cycl0ps]

I love the idea of putting relatively much effort into the main armour colour and then painting pretty much all the rest just black and highlighting it. Looks great and must be a blast to paint. Keep the raptors coming!

[@Calmarix0069]

Some of your best work so far!

Dude that dry brush effect on the base was so good. Definitely gonna be stealing that

[@WroobelChannel]

Love them. Perfectly executed. One of my favorite chapters for sure.

[@Walkion]

I absolutely love that paint scheme. It’s so perfect I’m gonna have to make a full army out of it😂

[@Slenkamure]

you got me started removing the chest icons on some of my marines for the same reasons you have. They do look great and keeping the skull in the middle for sergeants is a fun thing. Also Raptors are space marines with common sense

[@theClassicMatt21]

Amazing looking Raptors, makes me want to work on mine. That chipping with the sponge really adds so much, I am going to try that

[@jhealey4826]

A Bladeguard vet squad might be interesting. It doesn't sound Raptorey but with enough scraping and tweaking you could make look good.

[@patrickdhamilton]

Love to see some Inceptors get some similar attention!

Looks great. Don't generally like space marines but if I ever played them I'd use the Raptors. Good video. The pouches and such really make it pop.

[@bingorobins1010]

Your page made me attempt my first kit bash... I'm now going in to my second lol... Small bash with loyalist terminators recently turned traitor and some chaos marines mixed with raptor pieces and khorne bits, super fun stuff, I see why you do it lol

[@joshuwaaagh]

Very cool conversions and a striking paint scheme. Great work again Pete, I look forward to seeing more of these guys!

[@zombi3brosnanxx]

Please continue building this force. Raptors are my favorite chapter and seeing you do more with them is always a welcome moment to my day. As for models, I'd like to see your take on Raptors Sternguard Vets or if you want a more Kit Bash focused model, you can make your own of version of Lias Issodon, the chapter master of the Raptors. There are no official images of him but he's said to be one of the finest marksmen in the Imperium and has a specialized bolter called 'Malice' that uses the same specialized ammo as Sternguard Vets.

[@dunny7970]

Yes!!! Would love to see more units in this “army painted” scheme and style. Absolutely going to give it a whirl for my first kill team. Thanks for the awesome work

[@opesam]

The pop of those eyes is outstanding!

[@henriksparre4302]

from a millitary perspective you’d want these guys to be as armoured and space marine like as possible. As having a jump pack makes a shit ton of noice, better to throw off stealth and to be shock assault troopers falling form the sky

[@jond7691]

I absolutely love this paint scheme!

[@craig83cg]

Those eye lenses look fantastic, overall brilliant paint job!

[@irefusetogiveupto80s65]

very cool

[@Mr_Waffle.]

Fantastic video as always! I’ve been wondering how to make decals look more “natural” and that light dry brush idea is great, gotta try that! Personally I don’t use the gloss layer underneath, I use Mr Hobby’s Mr Setter when placing the decal, letting it dry for a few hours, then a couple of coats of Mr Softener with drying time in between, works great for me for dumb curved decals that initially don’t look like they’ll stay on.

[@Flyingfish60]

These guys have so much personality, I love em'

[@tombrand236]

Great builds here man! Very nice indeed

[@ryankyle2467]

That was very cool! I’m finally trying to tackle the world of kit bashing now and it’s going very slow. But no big problems yet. One of the weapons lines aren’t lining up correctly but that’s about it so far!!! After I send this I’m going to check out your channel and see what your other videos are!?!

[@Primal2229]

Its nice that someone finally addressed how things are going over the top when it comes to bits and details. Yes it looks cool, but its kind of ridiculous at the same time.

[@andrewkimbell9723]

[@iain.sm.c]

Raptors are my favourite chapter, can't wait to see the final army!

[@RainMakeR_Workshop]

I was personally expecting the Primaris jump pack troops to be in Phobos armour. It makes sense to be in lighter armour for a jump pack and Kayvaan Shrike is in Phobos armour. Hoping they may make an official Phobos Jump Pack squad in the future.

[@codyray909]

There is in fact an underused (and rather underappreciated) variant of Primaris plate that acts as a hybrid of Tacticus and Phobos armor called Omnis that can be seen utilized by Primaris Suppressors and even the Kayvaan Shrike models. It basically looks like Tacticus waist up and Phobos waist down 😂

[@mralexcore]

I'd like to see a librarian or chaplain for these guys, it would be interesting to see how you approach a more utilitarian look on guys who are otherwise quite "flashy"

[@user-ln9on4bg1m]

I'd love to see a dreadnought done in this style, maybe with hessian tape and camo netting to really push the modern army look?

[@tanngent]

The bionic arm and the plasma pistol works for some great subtle storytelling too, like the sergeant was a bit to gung-ho with the overcharge in a past raid

[@PraetorGix]

Pete, those symbols on their chests are called Aquilas, or palatine Aquilas when they were awarded to the Emperor's Children. Aquila imperialis is also ok but the point is, whomever pedantic nerd told you were wrong were actually wrong themselves.

[@KanzRedDusk]

It would be an amazing project to see the Centurion kits in cool, dynamic poses. The kits are bland and static but some of the illustration reaaaaaally try hard to make them look cool as hell. I'd love to see a Centurion conversion that makes the kit just work.

[@ralpherholland]

Excellent work @pete I would love to see you do an Invictus War suit as it fits with the Phobos theme.

[@smithremedy9]

With your heavy use of phobos components in the Raptor conversions, I'd love to see what you do with the actual phobos marines, infiltrators and/or incursors. I think the units fit so well in Raptor lore/ideology and would love to see a conversion!

[@chrisjulien7698]

Christ bless you, ngl the more military look does go hard

[@Arturius_Rex_8]

IMO, kill team is the perfect reason to paint a bunch of different versions of the models in question (tyranids from different hive fleets, necrons from different dynasties, and obviously different space marine chapters). Have a little trouble coming up with a 'narrative' reason they would all be (working) together, but maybe it's a 'super' version of Trazyn or a W40k version of Marvel's Battleworld...

[@lordinquistorrayn1249]

Reckon one day you could have a blast at creating the infamous Tyberos in all his massive bulk and glory. Be interested in seeing how you would come up with this specially given the new kits available. Cheers for all the videos.

[@PearlJam2k6]

I'd love to see you apply those same "rules" to a large scale unit like a Rhino or similar. A lot of painters paint up troopers or units but you rarely see a bigger vehicle done.
