Blood Raven Primaris Reivers with Bolt Carbines with Contrast Paints

So, I LOVE contrast paints.  Base coat, layer, shade, and layer again - minor highlights...  ALL WITH 1 COAT!  I was able to get these guys done in 2 days - but as usual, I get sidetracked...  Mainly small touch ups, re-hi-lighting to make it pop, the transfers/decals, and the script work too the most amount of time.  Here are the results...

  1. These look amazing! Mind sharing where you got your transfers from? I’ve tried printing my own, but my inkjet printer just isn’t up to the task.

  2. Believe it or not - Forgeworld used to make Blood Raven transfers during the Dawn of War 2/3 craze and discontinued them around 2016. Unfortunately - due to the lack of popularity - you're stuck now doing doing what you are doing or using Duncan's method of freehanding in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3IPF1I_1SW4 . Not ideal an I feel for you... We deserved a proper Dawn of War 3 which would have probably kept this chapter alive longer on FW.

    Another option is: https://www.shapeways.com/product/KZX9Z4EWX/10x-blood-crows-g-7a-shoulder-pad for molded shoulder pads.

    Or ebay: https://www.ebay.com/i/283909076370?chn=ps&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-117182-37290-0&mkcid=2&itemid=283909076370&targetid=917185845248&device=c&mktype=pla&googleloc=9008020&poi=&campaignid=10460107080&mkgroupid=106723174707&rlsatarget=pla-917185845248&abcId=2146001&merchantid=6296724&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIpee1vZrP6gIVCaGzCh0UBAvjEAQYASABEgLcHfD_BwE
