An essential element of the Ravenwing is the mighty Black Knights.
Although they have not had primaris versions released, I knew I had enough spares of the Outriders to convert up some Black Knights.
As I had already assembled the Ravenwing command from the box set I had enough weapons left over that would replace the standard chainsaw on the outriders.
The plasma talons were kitbashed using barrels left over from the Hellblasters kit and some volkite pistols.
Although some of them don’t sit as square on the bikes as I wanted, I am particularly happy with the plasma paint finish on the talons. This was achieved with white air paint over a metallic base with the plasma blue speed paint to finish.
A similar paint job was used on the melee weapons with a more metallic finish over the plasma paint. Painting for the minis followed my approach to the Invader and Outriders.
The Knights had a few head swaps with the sarge also getting a banner from the old veterans kit and a cool transfer from the Dark Angels upgrade kit set.
Am very happy with the finish that does break up the standard outriders kit. Now it’s time to get them on the battlefield.
