silentbob27 Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 For those of you who dont frequent Warseer or Taccoms, I give you my Epic Dark Angel Army. Not quite done with all units, but getting there. So my mission for the past year or so is to have a fully painted force for all of the Specialist Games. My most recent project involves Epic and my long neglected Dark Angels (not neglected as long as my Orks though). So I have been relatively hard at work putting together and painting a bunch of my stuff. I posted this all on the Tactical Command site, but want to post here to let people know that, yes, Epic is fun to paint. So here we go to start: Will start out with my conversion of Sammael. He will be either my Supreme Commander or captain running around with my Bikes. http://i236.photobucket.com/albums/ff152/silentbob27/Sammael1.jpg http://i236.photobucket.com/albums/ff152/silentbob27/Sammael2.jpg And the bikes. I had to convert a Attak Bike to match my old school bikes: http://i236.photobucket.com/albums/ff152/silentbob27/Ravenwing.jpg Keeping with the Ravenwing theme, here are my MoKI (Man of Kent I) Landspeeder Typhoons: I need to put together some normal ones someday too. http://i236.photobucket.com/albums/ff152/silentbob27/Landspeeders.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silentbob27 Posted May 1, 2009 Author Share Posted May 1, 2009 And now the Deathwing. I have a character created for these guys too, but need to paint it eventually. http://i236.photobucket.com/albums/ff152/silentbob27/DATermies.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hexenes Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 Lookin'good so far. My eyes are hurting just thinking about painting that teeny tiny stuff. Great job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silentbob27 Posted May 1, 2009 Author Share Posted May 1, 2009 Next up is my tactical detachment. Every other stand in my army has a vet Sgt. Keeping with my 40k DA army, they must be robed. Sculpting robes at this scale really isnt that difficult. I wanted to add some additional heavy weapons other than the Missile Launchers, so I scratch built a Lascannon and used a couple more plasma cannons from the landspeeders. What is DA without plasma? http://i236.photobucket.com/albums/ff152/silentbob27/Tactical.jpg And here is my Dev Detachment. I did these before my Tacs, so dont have a mix of weapons. This disturbs me now. http://i236.photobucket.com/albums/ff152/silentbob27/Dev1Full.jpg http://i236.photobucket.com/albums/ff152/silentbob27/Dev1.jpg I also needed some Dreadnoughts to go with the Tac and Dev detachments. http://i236.photobucket.com/albums/ff152/silentbob27/Dread.jpg http://i236.photobucket.com/albums/ff152/silentbob27/Dreads.jpg Not to mention a couple razorbacks for additional fire support. http://i236.photobucket.com/albums/ff152/silentbob27/Razorbacks.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silentbob27 Posted May 1, 2009 Author Share Posted May 1, 2009 So now I really need some Characters and Vehicles to flesh out my army. Lets start with the Supreme Commander. Pretty basic here with just the inclusion of some robes. http://i236.photobucket.com/albums/ff152/silentbob27/SupCdr.jpg And I like the Librarians, so i needed to have one of these. I couldnt put a robe on him, due to his stance, but I might convert one at a later date. http://i236.photobucket.com/albums/ff152/silentbob27/DALibrarian.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drudge Dreadnought Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 The tiny terminators are so cute :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silentbob27 Posted May 2, 2009 Author Share Posted May 2, 2009 So like I said, vehicles. These are pretty much run-of-the-mill vehicles with no conversions. Not too exciting, but needed. http://i236.photobucket.com/albums/ff152/silentbob27/DAVind.jpg http://i236.photobucket.com/albums/ff152/silentbob27/Whirlwind.jpg http://i236.photobucket.com/albums/ff152/silentbob27/DAHunters.jpg http://i236.photobucket.com/albums/ff152/silentbob27/LandRaiders.jpg http://i236.photobucket.com/albums/ff152/silentbob27/DATHawk.jpg Landing Craft and Strike Cruiser. I am not super happy with the SC, but I doubt I will use it very often. Looking at the amount of airpower I have, Planetfall might be possible now. http://i236.photobucket.com/albums/ff152/silentbob27/DA_LC1.jpg http://i236.photobucket.com/albums/ff152/silentbob27/DA_LCr.jpg http://i236.photobucket.com/albums/ff152/silentbob27/DA_SC.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silentbob27 Posted May 2, 2009 Author Share Posted May 2, 2009 Epic to me is giant warmachines crushing all before them. Enter my Warlord titan of the Legio Astraman (Morning Star's). He is not quite done, but I like him. He is made by putting a Mk2 Carapace on a Mk1 body. Fits real well and makes for a unique Warlord. http://i236.photobucket.com/albums/ff152/silentbob27/Warlord1.jpg You should have a few objective markers customized for your army (in my opinion). Here is my first http://i236.photobucket.com/albums/ff152/silentbob27/Objective.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandalphon Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 Wow! the detail on these is phenomenal! I used to have an epic nid army but sick of painting so many tiny gaunts and stealers lol... the command squad in particular is awesome! and i love the RW Akira style bikes..if only the 40k ones looked that cool.. The Warlord is cool but seems a lot less detailed (paintwise) but as you mentioned it's not finished yet, will you be adding a tabard at all? i always thought it crazy how there were Epic titans that had loincloths longer than Central Park :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burias-Drak'shal Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 They look really good! Surprising amount of detail for models that small. Looking forward to seeing more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NemFX Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 Nice work :blush: I will say though.. The epic scale heavy weapons and the dreadnaught legs just look silly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silentbob27 Posted May 7, 2009 Author Share Posted May 7, 2009 So here is the final bit of my DA Army for awhile. I always wanted to convert up some termies, so i figured I would finish this before moving on to another project. http://i236.photobucket.com/albums/ff152/silentbob27/DWChaplain.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silentbob27 Posted May 25, 2009 Author Share Posted May 25, 2009 Did I say i was finished? Ok, I lied... So I have been working on finishing up my Flames of War DAK army when I realized that my eyes were not sore from being super strained. "Something must be done!" I told myself. Well, I needed another marine Tactical detachment, but didnt feel like more Dark Angels. Looking in my collection, I saw I had a ton of old MkI Marines already based up. So after a bit of cleanup, some minor conversions and green-stuffing, I was ready to paint. What did I decide to do? Well, the Legion of the Damned of course. Must ruin my sight in some way. Here they are. http://i236.photobucket.com/albums/ff152/silentbob27/LegionDamned1.jpg http://i236.photobucket.com/albums/ff152/silentbob27/LegionDamned2.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
