Hi I'm rev,

I enjoy painting and selling complete 40k armies, but also have a penchant for specialist games like BB, BFG and AI.

I try to keep my opening page updated with full army shots, and then post other pics as I go. Hope you like.

Rev.

Army Group Shots

Fleshtearers.

This was a 1500 pt army I did when the BA minidex was released. It was really powerful and is now sold to a fellow Warseer member.

Blood Ravens

This army was originally 1500pts but grew to around 1850+ over time. Of all my marine armies I enjoyed playing with this one on the table top the most. Simple but brutal. No tricks, nothing to hide. I've never ever regretted running 2 full heavy bolter squads, lethal no matter who you face! This army is now sold and lives in Norway.

Iron Hands

Designed to incooperate all the bits about the 5th ed dex I liked the look of. Combat squadding bikers as troops, HQ on a bike with a relic blade, 3 drop pods spewing out 20 marines and a drednought, cheap 60pt predators and dual flamer landspeeders. Very happy with this army;

Eldar

This is the first eldar army I ever did, recently reaquired for photgraphs. Its 1800 pts, used way back before the current dex came out. Lots of conversions and magnets, it won a fair few awards in its day - you might have seen it on the conflict circuit 5 years ago where it cleaned up on best army awards and netted me quite a few free toys as a result! Now lives in Norway with the Blood Ravens:

Beautiful armies.

I've always had a lot of respect for people who can paint full armies as well and as quickly as you can. I rarely have the patience to turn out an army, but you seem to have it down pat.

Amazing work. All very clean, very professional.

As a side not, I just love the composition of the Fleshtearers army: All jump packs except for ONE heavy bolter Dev squad... fun times.

It is indeed the middle of a CoD sprue, well spotted! I love red.

THanks, should have another one done in a few wks!

I don't have a list anymore, but I ran it using the mini dex for the blood angels. I twas 3 vet squads each with 2 fists and 2 melta (iirc) and a death company squad with the chappy. then 2 small 5 man assault squads (count as troops) each with a fist. Lethal!

ah sigh heavy bolters, I've got the monopoly on running HB squads. I know people think they've only anti infantry, but I've taken down my fair share of avatars with those bad boys, and they look great!!

Some more flesh tearers; power fists rule my roost -

Lovely work rev, I particularly like how you've done vvery weapon combo for your Eldar 'just in case'. Will we be seeing anything exclusive to BolS in your blog here, as i follow you on Warseer too :)

Do you have any plans for Space Hulk?

Sorry if you've answered this before, but what is your method for ivory/bone - as seen on the Raven pads?

Nice work Rev.. Really like the close ups you provide us. What's your preferred style of shading, especially with red? I see that is a common color, and looks great btw!

Vulture is coming together nicely. Its a HUNK of resin, very pleasing to work with. Lots of pinning and GS'ing required tho for any chance of TT survival!

Hi. I saw photos of your work a while ago and wanted to say I found them really inspiring. So thank you. Especially the Iron Hands. Great work. I want to add a unit of Fleash Tearers to my Multi Chapter force now! they look awesome!
