Lord Ragnarok Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Everything is deliciously painted. What is your recipe for the green? I've thought about collecting some Dark Angels over the years but most of the painting examples I've seen I've not liked the green. I think the key is the strong edged highlight and they lighter "banding" highlights until the hard edged highlight.

LokisSword Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 bevulf: Ha ha, shows how closely I looked at my DV Chaplain (still in the box)! I hadn't noticed the detail sculpted on the robes. Either way you picked it out very cleanly considering the scale of it on the mini. What are you painting next from the box?

bevulf Posted September 13, 2012 Author Share Posted September 13, 2012 Libby and Balthasar (although it will be ORIAS as I have 3rd Company not 5th ;)) I have already started painting.

Sandalphon Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Great Army Bevulf really loving the old school flavour you've brought back into the new minis (something ive been attempting to re-inject with mine) - inspirational stuff!

march10k Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Words cannot express the stygian depths of my hatred! Your painting makes mine look like a thirteen year old orangutan did it with his feet, and I'm accustomed to getting complimented at the local tournaments. Well done!

bevulf Posted September 18, 2012 Author Share Posted September 18, 2012 I am more than happy to read that you like my work. @ Lord Ragnarok - I paint my green using old dark angels green highlighted with scorpion green in two-three steps. for edges I use mix of scorpion/skull white - to deepen all colours I wash armour with thraka green/badab black mix... Librarian Turmiel is done :D : http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x240/bevulf/libby01.jpg http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x240/bevulf/libby02.jpg http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x240/bevulf/libby03.jpg and with Seraphicus: http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x240/bevulf/libbychappy01.jpg http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x240/bevulf/libbychappy02.jpg Company Master Orias is on the way too ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/177316-dark-angels-strikeforce/page/17/#findComment-3179049 Share on other sites More sharing options...

bevulf Posted September 20, 2012 Author Share Posted September 20, 2012 Ha ! Thank you shabbadoo - this is one of the best comparisons between the good and the bad :( As promised painted Orias: http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x240/bevulf/01comp1_zps608e781f.jpg http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x240/bevulf/02comp2_zps2320017f.jpg http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x240/bevulf/03comp3_zps23983b25.jpg http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x240/bevulf/04comp4_zps6aacfdaa.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/177316-dark-angels-strikeforce/page/17/#findComment-3181116 Share on other sites More sharing options...
undeadfilth Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 The libby is too light for my personal taste, though he is painted amazingly! The company master looks absolutely gorgeous though:) Love seeing the new stuff you through up.

EPK Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 Well done, did you go with Orias because his name in DV was just too long to paint on that banner? :( Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/177316-dark-angels-strikeforce/page/17/#findComment-3181134 Share on other sites More sharing options...
bevulf Posted September 20, 2012 Author Share Posted September 20, 2012 Well done, did you go with Orias because his name in DV was just too long to paint on that banner? :( mainly because of this (and the current fluff): http://www.thedarkfortress.co.uk/librarium...l_of_heroes.htm Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/177316-dark-angels-strikeforce/page/17/#findComment-3181135 Share on other sites More sharing options...
EPK Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 Ah right, the rest of your army is 3rd Co. and obviously Turmiel and Seraphicus can attach themselves to any company they are needed in.

lhg033 Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 gorgeous painting! the libby's face looks a bit like emperor palpatine from star wars, not sure if this is deliberate. either way, really nicely done!

Captain Semper Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 This is an amazing conclusion to your DV trio! Balthazar, erm, sorry, Orias is my least favorite sculpt of the three but your painting really gave it some serious boost! It appears that purple is the standard complementary color for DAs. Love it! Now is it the time for the Termies? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/177316-dark-angels-strikeforce/page/17/#findComment-3181229 Share on other sites More sharing options...
