Angels_Blade Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 Hey guys, Been away from the pre-heresy for a long time. Too long so I've decided to return to my beloved Dark Angels so I started today with my new Captain This is all I have done so far. The Black is highlighted green to give a nod to the current DA colours. I haven't decided on the colour for the symbol on the cloak yet. Red, White or Green. The problem with the Red is that I feel it maybe too bright for a mini i'm trying to keep dark and brooding. What are your thoughts so far? http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o138/mustanguk/SL381656.jpg Cheers AB Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/186672-pre-heresy-dark-angel-captain/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
McStalins Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 Really good Dangel. I think, the purity seal is too big, but it's only my opinion. I think, black symbol on the cloak will be the best choice.

cathar the great Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 That helmet is great! Mind if I steal the idea? ^^ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/186672-pre-heresy-dark-angel-captain/#findComment-2207494 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Argent Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 I've always loved your stuf Angels-Blade and this DA is no exception. Have you perhaps considered having the symbol on the cloak black? I think it would add to the brooding look of the model as well as tie in the otherwise starkly contrasting white cloak with the dark model. If you were to go a different colouyr I'd have to say green, but I think black highlighted like you have done the armour would look pretty sweet.

Dragonkin Arenis Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 I love this Dark Angel, AB, really nice, smooth blending, and lovely use of the Maxmini head! :) I say go red, but a really, really dark one, it'll stand out, but still be 'grim dark' enough for what you're planning. Experiment, be happy ;) Arenis Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/186672-pre-heresy-dark-angel-captain/#findComment-2207959 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyrannicide Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 Though it's in the early stages of painting, this is your best power-armored work to date, I believe. That Company Master is already a fantastic model, and the subtle head change suits the pose perfectly and looks killer. Your painting seems to have improved since the last time I saw your work, so kudos on that. Now, if you were considering red for the emblem stitched onto the cloak, which I think is the right choice, go dark. Sort of like a crimson, possibly carmine color. I think if you kept it dark enough, it would look suitable and still pop without attracting too much unwanted attention. I must say you're tempting me to paint up my own version of that model, which is lying around here somewhere. Your Captain reminds me of this piece of artwork, representing Chapter Master Astelan, from the Heresy art collection.

Angels_Blade Posted December 8, 2009 Author Share Posted December 8, 2009 Your Captain reminds me of this piece of artwork, representing Chapter Master Astelan, from the Heresy art collection. Thanks thats exactly what I was going for! I'm begining to favour red as well. I hope to have it finished by the weekend, so keep your eyes peeled. I'm planning a small army all with these heads namely; Lion El' Johnson - Primarch of the Dark Angels Brother Captain Isiah of the Order 5 x Lion Guard (counts as Vanguard or honour guard) 5 x Terminators (Not Deathwing as they didn't exist back then) 2 x Tactical Squads (all robed) 1 x Devestator Squad (robed) 1 x Assault Squad (Tabards) 6 x Ravenwing Jetbikes 1 x Venerable Dreadnought 1 x Land Raider 3 x Rhino Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/186672-pre-heresy-dark-angel-captain/#findComment-2208508 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guyver3x Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 Lovely mini. Clean painting, competent and suitable conversion. Great silver on the helm :) Are you going to kitbash a Lion El'Johnson? If not, there is an awesome looking scult floating around on ebay. I won't link, as I am at work, but its name is templar knight or something like that. Can be inspiration if nothing else :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/186672-pre-heresy-dark-angel-captain/#findComment-2208765 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angels_Blade Posted December 8, 2009 Author Share Posted December 8, 2009 I have the Templar Knight. Not a sculpt but a cast. Not meant to be johnson but works very well as him!

Guyver3x Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 I did mean cast, I'm not a moron, promise :) (though my overuse of emoticons does not help my case....) I have one in my watched items section ready for next payday :P I think its not meant it be in him in a very "not him, honest ;) " kind of way :P Can you replace the head the the helm it comes with or is that attatched to the hand? I look forward to seeing yours painted up :P Will be awesome I'm certain Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/186672-pre-heresy-dark-angel-captain/#findComment-2208862 Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE FATED FITH Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 I hate you.. B) Yet again you've made me want to go out and buy a model to try and make it as good as you have done, (another time was with your knights scorpio honor guard) :tu: It's looking awesome though, I'm planning on using the same model to represent khan in my dark angels, May i suggest green for the cloak symbol, or even leaving it black? Good luck with the army. looking forward to seeing more!
