dark angel stuff


Recommended Posts

hi guys !

 

it's been a loooooooonnnnnnnnnnng time i didn't post pics or comments here, but i actually work on my bretonnian army and some stuff for a friend of mine (teutogen guard, and maybe kossars).

my imperial fists are now in a box, waiting for better days, but i'm back with new stuff : a few dark angels minis, 'cause i'm fond of the look of this monk-warriors :

 

so here is a wip pic of my vets. i use them as normal tactical squad, mainly because i love their look, so i will do all my dark angels in tactical armor like this (sorry, bad light for this pic. real colors on the master's pic) :

next on the workdesk: a razorback for the squad...

 

c&c welcome, as always

wich log ?

- imperial fists are stored in a box, waiting for better days (1st company, led by lysander)

- imperial guard aree nearly finished : nearly 15 models to paint, but i started tanks and old cadian infantry (and maybe some rogue trader era guards...)

- bretonnians are on the wa, but i want to make a short break before continuing.

 

i'm fond of dark angels new minis, but i won't make a big army. so i started a 750/1000 pts army, just for fun, after painting some of them for my local gw store.

but the other projects are not forgotten, just set aside for a moment...

 

currently, i'm working on the razorback (must fill the gaps, and finish some battle damages before i start to paint it), and i'm workin on an old rhino, but i have a lot of plasticard work to do (extra-armor).

 

updates will be posted as soon as possible.

thanks for the comments.

 

for the robes, the technic is simple, but long...

 

base : graveyard earth.

highlight it with bleached bone to a 50/50 mix

highlight this mix with khommando khaki until you have a pure khommando.

highlight khommando with bleached bone 'til pure bleached

highlight bleached with skull white to a 50/50 mix.

 

finally, add a thin layer of watered brown ink.

Very nice, not personally how I highlight DA green, but hey, each to their own and the results are still great. ;)

 

As has been said, excellent robe work. How many layers of highlight is that, 9 or so? Put the time and effort in a you certainly do get excellent results. I'll add that recipe to my collection and try it out. (I'm forever trying to find the best way of doing a BB robe. Some come out better than others. See how this one fares. :angry: )

 

Love the plasma coils too. I've done red and green but not so much blue. Care to share a how to?

 

Nice work. :)

yes, it's nearly 9 or 10 layers. but with a wet palette, it's easier to do...

 

for the plasma blue, the color is a mix of 50/50 hawk turquoise and skull white, highlighted to pure skull white (maybe 4 or 5 layers), with just a layer of watered down hawk turquoise. then, the light effect is made with thin layers of a 70 hawk / 30 white mix. edges are done in pure white.

i'm not very satisfied with the result, but it's nearly my first attempt for light effect on weapons...

Yet again, these are wonderful models :(

 

I've rather fallen in love with the way you've painted your DA insignia on the razorback (in particular, the giant hooded angel on the side doors), Were these painted in the same way as your robes?
