ron Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 I just finished my "Lustwing" recently and thought I might post the link to some pics of the finished product here. I don't think the guys over in the Dark Angels Section would care too much to see this so I added the link here. I only have a link to my one blog post with all the images (6 in total, one for each squad and the commander) Each image can be clicked on for the larger view. My blog post with pictures Enjoy.

Dammeron Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 This is truly astounding stuff. Just out of interest, what's the background behind this army? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/139108-finished-lustwing/#findComment-1606518 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ron Posted June 22, 2008 Author Share Posted June 22, 2008 Background... I didn't make this army from any background as much as I wanted a challenge to build/paint/play. The only background came from Slaanesh and I wanted to paint an army with pink in it. Build: It's the same 5 models over and over again with lots-o-conversions in each squad. All plastic army, no metal bits. Sonic weapon conversions. Paint: It's a 9 color palette (10 including the one additional color for the PreHeresy guys) No black or white paint No decals Play: It's a Deathwing with 26 guys at 1500 points. Nothing other than infantry. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/139108-finished-lustwing/#findComment-1606955 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Askari Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 Love the pre-heresy colors and the banner, looks like the scarlet pimpernel crossed with a flamingo with angel wings. Did you paint that yourself? if so I wish I could paint banners like that.

ron Posted July 3, 2008 Author Share Posted July 3, 2008 Thanks for the compliment, I did paint the banner myself. I took me a couple of hours to finish it as it was done differently than how I usually do my banners. There is no black or white paint used in the entire army and so I had to find another way to "outline" my image to clean it up in the end.

the golden throne Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 I've been toying with this idea myself though I must say you have pulled it off very well. :rolleyes: It is a bit difficult to tell but what are they all armed with exactly?

Marlo Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Easy mate, great army. I was wondering what you used for the pre-heresy shoulders? Cheers. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/139108-finished-lustwing/#findComment-1640302 Share on other sites More sharing options...

ron Posted August 16, 2008 Author Share Posted August 16, 2008 (edited) Sorry for the delayed reply, I don't get out much these days... Thanks for the questions. What are they armed with? They "count as" grey knights so they have storm bolters and power weapons. One guy has a Psycannon and another has a Thunder Hammer and Storm shield. What do I use to make the shoulder pads? I use two things really to make the shoulder pads. 1. Cereal box cardboard for the base of the pads 2. Regular posterboard for the trim around the edges and the leather straps that hang underneath Then it's a matter of glue and such to hold it all together. I've got a small tutorial on my blog with all the steps and pics. Here's the specific post: Shoulder pad tutorial Thanks and sorry about the wait.
