While every Space Marine chapter contains large numbers of scout forces, the Raptors Legion is almost unique in the annals of Astartes. Divergent to the dictates of the Codex Astartes, their specialized recon units are instead composed with a core force consisting of some of the most experienced marines in the chapter. It is with these veterans of a hundred wars on a thousand worlds do their initiates train and are mentored in the manner of silent death that typifies the Raptors way of war. Consummate trackers and infiltrators they are fully capable of executing long duration missions far from supply and friendly forces. Such as Recon Force Theta who held the theatre record of being deployed for over 341 standard imperial days behind enemy lines. Their intelligence on enemy troop movements and sabotage were instrumental in conducting the Imperial counter attacks of the 3rd phase.Attachment:

Guess who's back, back again
Zimmy's back, tell a friend...
painter's notes:Yet another batch of models being done to further procrastinate my Assault Rams. These were actually painted pre-hurricane but I'm just now getting around to finishing them.
So really just the same recipe as the previous Raptor LS Storms for colors. The cloaks where VMA Khaki brown base then blended up with VMA IDF sand grey. I had intended to use just 30k Recon marines, however when the time came to paint these up I realized I lacked enough individual figures (2 per base is kinda stretching it). I had a few extra CAD Scout Marines from eons ago laying around that I scattered here and there into the stands. So yeah...that's where my personal head-cannon Raptors came about from. #tmyk
