Lord Magyar Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 Well I've finished the first three marines. Hope you enjoy.

slothman Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 nice! that's some lovely conversion work there. are you going for an entire army of these guys, or just these three?

The Defiler Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 A bit too shiny for my taste, but that's a brilliant use of bits (I' d like to build a patrol of Heresy Era Iron Warriors, and I' ve planned to use the same kind of bits... Templars' stuff, IW metal helmet, etc..) Nice highlights Sir, by the way... very smooth ! I do enjoy them, thanks for sharing !

StratoKhan Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 Really nice stuff, what method did you use for the studs on the MkV suit? Was it PVA glue drops? Also, unless I'm mistaken I seem to recognise his Chainsword as being from the old plastic Khorne berzerkers (single pose) I like the shininess of the black, personally. Is this going to be a whole army, or a kill-team? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/102976-heresy-era-dark-angels/#findComment-1181227 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moribund the Burgermeister Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 This is very, very beautiful! Lately, I've kind of fallen in love with pre-heresy DA, and just like that, you've got pics! The way they all hold their bolters one-handed really adds to the heroic feeling! Also, the black is very nice. Did you highlight it normally with grey and varnished it? :( Anyways: :ph34r: Cheers; Moribund!

Lord Magyar Posted February 8, 2007 Author Share Posted February 8, 2007 slothman- I'm going to start with about 500 points which I've almost got all of the models built. Then hopefully it will turn into a full army. The Defiler- They are a bit on the shiny side even for me, but they have not been given a coat of matte varnish yet. Hopefully that will dull them down a bit. Magnus the red- Thank you. StratoKhan- The studs were made with PVA glue and your dead on about the chainsword. Moribund the Burgermeister- Thanks for the compliment. The black was highlighted with Vallejo German Grey. Then a 50/50 mix of German Grey and Vallejo Cold Grey. After that I gave it a black Future wash. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/102976-heresy-era-dark-angels/#findComment-1181633 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimdarkness Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 They look great but the legions winged sword was red IIRC. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/102976-heresy-era-dark-angels/#findComment-1181646 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Magyar Posted February 9, 2007 Author Share Posted February 9, 2007 Grimdarkness- I went with the color scheme from the IA article in White Dwarf. I had read somewhere that the original chapter badge was red. I may make the command squad and the vets with red chapter badges.

Vodunius Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 once upon a time the Word Bearer and Night Lord legions worshipped Khorne.. once upon a time the Ultramarines were a 3rd Founding Chapter formed to replace a Chapter which had been banished to the Eye of Terror during the Interlegionary Wars (reusing said chapters regalia & geneseed).. once upon a time Genestealers were a totally separate race with nothing to do with Tyranids.. and once upon a time the Dark Angels wore black armour with a red chapter badge and helmet stripe.. it should be noted the white chapter badge and no helmet stripe wasnt just a cockup of the IA art, GW had used it once or twice before (the side of the Space Marine 2nd edition box had a black armoured DA with a white chapter badge and no helmet stripe ~ tho he was in Mk7 armour) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/102976-heresy-era-dark-angels/#findComment-1182203 Share on other sites More sharing options...
calamity_kane Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 Lovely minis, although i must confess im not to keen on the bases apart from the stepped one, bit too light and clean for my liking, maybe painting the edges a contrasting colour would help.

Grimdarkness Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 The new ones look good I like the cover fire marine nice to see it built. As for the red vs Black it's a lot like afro Caribbean or Asia Pacific for the sallies. (i prefer the second if anyone cares) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/102976-heresy-era-dark-angels/#findComment-1185545 Share on other sites More sharing options...
