Raven Guard Shadow Captain Korvydae

Raven Guard doctrine is ambush and withdrawal rather than a stand-up fight: hit the command post, gut the chain of command, be gone before the response gets organised. Their officers are built around that idea, and Korvydae is one of the better known of them, a jump-pack captain whose reputation rests on arriving where nobody had planned for him. As a model this is a single-figure HQ choice, the sort that anchors a display shelf as readily as an army list. Schemes for this Chapter are usually an exercise in restraint, with the read coming from edge work and shadow instead of loud heraldry, which makes a named character a genuinely satisfying test of a painter's hand. It stands in comfortably as a commander for any fast, deep-striking strike force, or simply as a lone figure with a story attached.
