What colour are the raptors? Are they the black and white chaps? Don't think i could pull it off with enough distinction...
I did see a REALLY GOOD relictors army online somewhere but i can't for the life of me find it now; all based on round bases...though i think i may be getting them mixed up with Mageboltrats marine army (which is also grey...)
Mayhaps i'll doa  few test stands in each colour and see what happens
LI: how do you mean the relictors are different? Colour scheme? Background/History etc?
I know for certain that the entire chapter was on Armageddon; i therefore find it hard to believe that so few people have actually done an EA army for them!
The raptors are a dark green ... wait, I did an (old and poorly-made!) Inquisitor scale marine in those colours...
So they're a dark green with grey/white details. I think you're thinking of Ratty's army, which were mortifactors and black/bone coloured.
As for the relictors, they're more interesting in background terms. They were chastised and eventually excommunicated for an unhealthy attitude for forbidden artefacts and a penchant for radicalism. Eventually purged by the grey knights, the survivors are now a rogue force, trying to use Chaos against itself (so their commanders may have daemonswords, for example). Not something that is likely to be very easy to show at 6mm scale, however.
I like them because they're neither a loyalist force nor chaos forces either and fit nicely into the "shades of grey" that the Inquisition operate within.
