PoTM: Raven guard assault squad with Chaplain

Good news everyone! It's mid-moon madness with another Painting of The Month update. Here's the solution for my ever growing strike forces lack of punch. Ten-man assault squad with some nice hitty upgrades.

 
As you might have already spot there's an eleventh member in the group. A Chaplain! I found this chap when I was going through my collection of pairless socks. There he was at the bottom of the box, half-painted and looking very angry. A suitable addition to my squad. As all Marine players know a Chaplain is very handy when the fight gets ugly. This fella gives a nice little boost in hand-to-hand combat. With his Liturgies of Battle I can reroll any missed hit the turn when I assault. Now that's good news when you're assaulting with 10 marines. The angry man himself is not a bad fighter either. Armed with power weapon and having 4+ invulnerable save he is a tough one to beat. Also the squad he joins in turns fearless. Respect the mans authority!


Sergeant is armed with Power fist and Storm shield. A costly combination, but a deadly one as well.


There's also a single flamer in the squad as my regular opponents are usually either Dark Eldar or Orks. A little barbeque never harmed anyone with good armor. Oh wait! Orks and Eldar don't have very good armor. What's that smell...?

 
To sum it all up here's a picture of the whole force so far. I was actually quite pleased with the result so far as I was taking pictures. I starts to look like a proper army. A quick calculation gave about 1100 points for whole lot.

 
 Next on the table is the Predator. It's going to be the not-so-often-seen destructor pattern. Autocannon and pair of Heavybolters added up with pintle-mounted stormbolter gives me a nice amount of infantry killing firepower. This is Tatu signing out

  1. Nice set. That chaplain model got to be an ancient, I have never seen that one before...
    Are you playing these with BA or SM book? I mean that Raven Guard could be played with BA book as well considering their assault forces.

  2. The chaplain is from the late nineteens. From the time of the 2nd edition I think. It's metal and very small compared to the modern plastic marines.

    I actually haven't thought of using BA codex but now I definately have to make list with it too. Thanks for the tip man!
