Angels_Blade Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 Hey Guys, Thanks for the kind comments on my DA Captain. In the pipeline I have a robed terminator squad and a £125 Jetbike squad (Bloody GW making the MOTR direct only!) For now I have painted the first half of a tactical squad. (Kind of a repaint) C&C Welcome as ever and Merry Christmas to those who celebrate it! http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o138/mustanguk/SL381686.jpg http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o138/mustanguk/SL381681.jpg http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o138/mustanguk/SL381687.jpg http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o138/mustanguk/SL381688.jpg http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o138/mustanguk/SL381689.jpg http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o138/mustanguk/SL381692.jpg http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o138/mustanguk/SL381694.jpg http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o138/mustanguk/SL381695.jpg Cheers AB Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/188060-pre-heresy-dark-angels/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Rohr Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 Very nice! I like the wings, will that be veterans only or carried over to the whole army?

lewiss111 Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 i really like those models. where did you get those wonderful heads with the mouth guards and wings coming off the sides?

Angels_Blade Posted December 24, 2009 Author Share Posted December 24, 2009 Thanks guys, the heads are from maxmini with wings added from ravenwing symbols. The whole army will have them save for the terminators for which I have something special planned.

Rob_Loken Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 Very nice squire. I like the pre-heresy scheme. I like the use of the Grey Knights weapon arm for the sarg. And good work on the robes. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/188060-pre-heresy-dark-angels/#findComment-2225860 Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdeptusDavidus Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 I really like the Sergeant, particularly his head. Looks like you took the front of a WFB Chaos helmet and settled it into one of the hooded DA heads. End result looks fantastic. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/188060-pre-heresy-dark-angels/#findComment-2226068 Share on other sites More sharing options...
cathar the great Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 The helmets really look great. I already stole the idea for two of my Chaos Chosen, I hope you don't mind. I will credit you of course once I post them here ^^ A whole army like this will look absolutely awesome.

Nachocuban Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 Those are some excellent minis, I may steal some of the ideas for my veteran assault squads.

Doghouse Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 Fantastic stuff! Some of the best pre-heresy DA I've seen to date. :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/188060-pre-heresy-dark-angels/#findComment-2228027 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Rohr Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 Did you highlight the black? I dont know if its the lighting or not. I say that because it doesn't look like the black needs highlighting, is that technique or unintentional?

The Nephilim Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 First of all, awesome work. However... Why would you put so much time into conversions and such a nice paint job when you didn't remove the mold lines? /facepalm Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/188060-pre-heresy-dark-angels/#findComment-2228486 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt. Lysander Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 Damn, that's awesome work! They have both the look and the atmosphere of pre-heresy Dark Angels.

Angels_Blade Posted January 3, 2010 Author Share Posted January 3, 2010 Quick new year update!

The Nephilim Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 Your dreadnaught looks amazing. I'd recommend shaving off those Chaos arrows on his sarcophagus though. That's the only thing I can see that throws off the model. Maybe salt dip and bend one of the Ravenwing books and place it over the shaved down arrows?

Brother Loring Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 As we've come to expect, absolutely superb models! Well done! The dread is looking good, can't wait to see the addition of paint!

Brother Caedrius Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 Awesome stuff AB...I've been thinking about ordering some of those Maxmini heads for a while now.....is there an option to choose which heads you'd like, or is it just random luck, as I'm not that interested in some of the Death Guard type heads.....cheers and keep up the good work!

Angels_Blade Posted January 4, 2010 Author Share Posted January 4, 2010 Thanks guys, I'd recommend shaving off those Chaos arrows on his sarcophagus though. That's the only thing I can see that throws off the model I see your point but I'm keen to keep them as they are a potent symbol of the great crusade before Horus twisted them into the 8 pointed star (plus it might make people think it is a fallen lol) Awesome stuff AB...I've been thinking about ordering some of those Maxmini heads for a while now.....is there an option to choose which heads you'd like, or is it just random luck, as I'm not that interested in some of the Death Guard type heads.....cheers and keep up the good work! You can order seperately just let them know in the comments field which head you require. Dreadnought is going onto the painting bench tonight and i hope to finish it by the weekend Cheers AB Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/188060-pre-heresy-dark-angels/#findComment-2233952 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angels_Blade Posted January 10, 2010 Author Share Posted January 10, 2010 Hey guys thanks for the comments so far.

Rob_Loken Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 That's a nice dread. And the chaos chest piece doesn't look too chaos-y at all. Good work. Looking forward to this next squad, but where did you get those robed legs from?
