Well lookey here. I see you sons of The Lion have been hiding more than Luther in the dark caverns of the Rock. :D

 

This is absolutely fantastic work. I'm actually at a loss for words. You almost make me want to do a Lions army. Hell, you make me want to paint anything. I'll be tracking this one. Not sure what my fav is. I absolutely love that scout speeder and the masks. Love it all really. Thanks for sharing.

...SNIP, no need for two copies of the awesome pics...

Magic Van San,

I've been dreaming of a multi level display for about 6 months and here you have created a far better one than I was even thinking about... You ROCK Sir.

I am so glad you posted again van San!

I was thinking last week 'who was that person with the sickenly awesome dark angel army? I need to see his pictures again to try and encourage me to do some painting.'

Then, like an inverse keyser soze, up pops the thread again; like it was never gone.

Your work is amazing, as always. I am both encouraged to paint and deflated by how unlikely it is anything I paint will look anything like yours!

Keep posting pics, yours is by far and away my favourite DA army I have seen.

 

Cheers,

Ok it was quiet in this thread for a long time :)

In the last year i build up a DE force because i wanted to play something else than my DA.

Perhaps you want to take a look:

I played a tournament with a Salamanders Count as SM army. For this reason i built a second LS Storm and a count as for Vulkan. I know that not everybody like this kind of fluff violation, but i am a tournament player and alwas liked such kind of army adaptions.

But now with the new codex in sight i am really looking forward to include the new minis in my DA army.

 

just to give you an impression this is my 40k display case. And yes there is still some room for additions :)

That army display base is EPIC!!! I guess that empty space in your cabinet will be for the new Dark Angels stuff, but you may even need a new cabinet which will then have to fill with yet more awesome/inspirational stuff, and which you must post pictures of for us. :P

After some Time some additions to my Dark Angels. Started with 5 normal DW terminators to try out the new gw colours.

Very, very nice!  Your skill is about as much better than mine is today as my current skills are better than when I started fifteen years ago.  Sadly, painting skill does not improve linearly...so I guess I'll be as good as you are today (no doubt you'll by then be polishing an entire display case full of GDs) in...fifty more years?

 

I do have one bit of criticism, though.  The latest typhoon has too many icons, and redundant/mismatched ones at that.  Two different styles of DA badges plus a ravenwing badge...per side?  Plus a sword-bearing angel on the tip of the vane that sticks out underneath (which looks like it was skewered mid-flight a la a bug on the windshield) on top?  It's a bit much.  I think less would have been more here.  The ravenwing badges by themselves would have been understated perfection, but I wouldn't complain about the ones on the missile boxes...it's the mismatched ones on the wings that cry out at me.  I'm far too lazy myself, but I also think that grinding off the aquilla and replacing it with a larger chapter icon would be nice...is that a crux terminatus under the aquilla?  I can't quite identify what that is...
