CTK's Blood Angels


Recommended Posts

  • 3 weeks later...

Greetings peeps. Finally got the other 2 Rhinos and the Landraider from my old force painted up. Pretty strait forward really, no complex resorations or conversions.

 

Rhino's for the 5th and 6th Squads. No razor option as the lids where already glued down.

The Landraider I simply darkened up in the same manor as the old squads. I redid some of the detail and added more to bring it into line with the rest of my vehicles.

While technically I can use the Landraiders for any squad, I am putting the heraldry for Veteran squad leaders (Terminators/Sterguard/Vanguard) This one bears the heraldry of Lorenzo from space hulk.

My free hand has improved a lil since I painted Lorenzo...

 

Feel free to comment or crit.

Wow now you're asking, lol. Its been over a year, nearly 2 since I painted him. I really had to search to find out where I got the banner. Its from the plastic Terminator squad set, with Lorenzo's own heraldry piece from the SH model. The scroll at the top is paart of the banner itself. Should be noted this is from the Regular Terminator squad, not the Terminator Assault squad. You don't get any banner with that kit if I remember properly.

The legs from these 2 guys are sharing a pair of BA DC legs and the Devs Crouching pair.

Currently I'm working on a Dev Squad. I'm trying to achieve a look of standing sentry or awaiting orders.

Can't believe no one has replied!

 

Lovely work as usual, I really like the way you add personality to each rhino with your awesome freehand. Cool LoTD conversions too!

 

I think these are my favourite blood angels on the forum. Keep up the good work buddy.

Thanks for the comments guys. Yeah, I don't seem to get that many comments. It used to be disappointing, but now I just post the pics. If peeps comment great, if not I don't let it bother me.

 

As for the names... All the names I've used baring one, I got from either WD365 May2010, or Space Hulk for the PS1. I have 26 names from the Space Hulk game although some of them are named characters from other SM codesies. And the WD has 30+ names on pages 80 and 81, Garibaldi included. Should be enough to name all my squad leaders, characters and all my veterans... I hope, lol.

 

CTK

Always a pleasure to view your progress so thanks for sharing. :P

 

The LotD figures provide a great base for Marine conversions, I just love what you've done with the two above. Wonderful painting as always and I'm a big fan of that Devastator Sergeant. Top quality work, man!

Thanks for the comments folks. They are alway greatly appreciated :(

 

Anywho, new stuff.

 

I present Blood Angel 2nd Co. 10th Squad (Devestators) led by Brother Sergeant Triam.

I figured that an all Missile Launcher Heavy Weapon Squad would by the most widely use loadout. Therefore, the entire squad are glued as is shown. no magnets this time. As I said earlier, I wanted to have the squad appear more like stand sentry or waiting for orders. I think I achieved this pretty well particularly with the Sergeant. Also as I only had 2 Missile ammo packs, I thought it would be cooler to have non Heavy Weapon squad members carry them. Also, I chose to have sensor on a separate base to make it clearer who has the higher BS that round.

Next up, I re-made Captain Aphael of the 2nd Co. I wasn't entirely happy with the pose of the first one, and I had also experimented with Quickshade on the first which I also was terribly thrilled with... So here be the new and improved Captain Aphael. I also modelled and magnetised several load out options to be several characters from the BA Codex.

The Door (except one) are FW, but the Prometheus load out is made from my bits box.

 

One more pic for you. Not a great pic, but it's of the entire 2nd Co.

Comments Crits welcome and appreciated as always folks :)

Your Blood Angels are outstanding. Your style of painting tempts me to continue with my Blood Angels. They are really beautiful. Although this may have been asked somewhere(?) please share your recipe for reds and yellows (I love the brownish-yellow helmets). Thanks.

The Darth Maul style chainsword is very very cool!! That conversion idea is well and truly nicked :D

Thanks for the comments guys :P Gives me needed encouragement to continue.

 

@ Schultzhoffen Are you talking about the Assault Helms or Honour Guard?

The Assault helms are: Chaos Black (Abbadon Black) > Iyanden Darksun (don't know new equivalent) > highlighted with Bleached Bone > light wash all over with Gryphonne Sepia.

The Honour Guard helms are: Dheneb Stone base > 2x liberal washes of Gryphonne Sepia > Then a selective or detail layer of Delvin Mud (Agrax Earthshade) Its my attempt at NMM Gold > Then very lightly highlight with Bleached Bone.

The red is base of Army Painter; Dragon Red spray (Alternatively, Black base followed by Mechrite Red) > Blood Red (not sure what the new paint is. I bought 4 tubs of Blood Red when I heard they where changing) > Blazing Orange highlight > Delvin Mud (Agrax Earthshade) wash > Then bring the Red back with Blood Red.

 

 

EgoDraconumNigrorum That was kind of my idea as I was making it. I can imagine him fighting with a bit of finesse, than swinging a over grown cricket bat about. If you can use the idea bud, be my guest :P

Looking forward to seeing more updates and conversions!
