Painted Raven Guard Legion Squad: 4/10

Continuing the painting of the Raven Guard Shattered Legions squad, this brother features the Corvus armour with a (dirtied) white helm and knee pads stood atop of a piece of imperial iron beneath his feet. The narrative here is similar to the previous marines in that this is a brother who has survived the betrayal at Isstvan 5 and is now part of a mis-matched group of survivors aiming to flee the planet's surface and make good their revenge on the traitors. It was also one of the first Raven Guard miniatures that I assembled to get a better feel for how this force might look. 

The marine features a standard Corvus armour build with no real variation from the plastic boxed set. The painting has been done to render points of differentiation from the rest of the squad that can be seen in the previous posts within this series, and to tie in directly with some of the depictions in the Horus Hersey black books. The mud and dirt follows the same recipes as previous with two tones of brown to create the look on the lower parts of the marine and the base. On the shoulder pad, an icon for an assault squad member can be seen as well. This is a survivor who has ditched his jump pack and swapped to something new in the quest for escape from the planet, and further accentuates the mixed composition of the squad.
