Description
This started out as a "what if" Chapter Master Lias Issodon of the Raptors were given primaris upgrades, what would he look like?

Being the sneaky character that he is, the most obvious choice of armour for him would be the Mark X Phobos armour, worn by the Primaris Reivers.

Apart from the usual magazine pouches (why is it that marines always look like they only have one or two spare magazines?), I took a stab at designing some additional helmet gear. I took reference from some typical examples of night vision googles.

But of course this being 40k, they had to be something more than 'mere' NVGs. The fluff reason in mind is that it is some kind of Arceotech scope that allows the user to see the souls of individuals, thereby allowing Lias Issodon to see through all forms of cover and concealment. (Basically WALLHAX)(Looking at the rules again, it can also help justify how he negates cover saves?) This doesn't work out quite so well against Necrons/Blanks/ anything that is soulless.

The raptor head 'sub-auspex' was just a bit of fun to add some small bird of prey motifs to the design.

For 'Malice' I went for a Skeletonised barrel shroud with a folding stock, vertical grip and hybrid sight. Taking as much inspiration from the AR-15 as possible without making it unrecognisable as a boltgun.

Raptorclaw was a fun one. Looking at the datasheet, it doesn't say what kind of weapon it is suppose to look like. It could have been a normal straight edged knife, but I thought it would be more interesting if it had a curved blade. Its like a short shotel or oversized karambit, either way looking more like a raptor's claw.

That is about it! I hope you liked the image, it was fun to do.

edit: The rules in the top right are just copy pasted from the datasheet, it doesn't reflect what I think an upgraded Issodon is suppose to be rules wise.
