vahouth Posted August 1, 2010 Author Share Posted August 1, 2010 Well, now that I had time to paint, I finished 5 Assault Marines and then dropped my camera... :lol: Anyway, I'll see if I can get it fixed in time for my AOD librarian. But for now, Assault marines it is. http://a.imageshack.us/img838/102/p7310196.jpg http://a.imageshack.us/img839/6592/p7310197.jpg http://a.imageshack.us/img826/1237/p7310198.jpg Thanks for watching! :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/192814-vahouths-blood-angels-revisited-updated-09072015/page/2/#findComment-2477716 Share on other sites More sharing options...

vahouth Posted August 1, 2010 Author Share Posted August 1, 2010 Thanx Midnight! I started the yellow with a black undercoat. Iyanden Darksun basecoat followed by Gryphonne Sepia wash. Clean the Iyanden Darksun again. Drybrush Bleached bone. Highlight with skull white. Dilluted yellow ink 1:1 with water. And finally skull white dots here and there as extreme highlights. I'm already painting the rest of the squad and a TDA Librarian for AoD.

Midnightmare Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 Cheers, they do look really good; yellow is something I traditionally struggle with so am always on the lookout for good recipe's :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/192814-vahouths-blood-angels-revisited-updated-09072015/page/2/#findComment-2478946 Share on other sites More sharing options...
vahouth Posted August 3, 2010 Author Share Posted August 3, 2010 Thanx mate. The reason I haven't used GW's yellow paints is because they have really terrible coverage, and I just don't have the patience...

BrotherMoses Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 You honour us all with your artifice brother. I love everything about your models. Your red is the perfect shade, your sergeants stand out in battle as befits the heroes they are, and your detail work is breathtaking.

Your red is the perfect shade, your sergeants stand out in battle as befits the heroes they are, and your detail work is breathtaking. Thanx Brother, I really appreciate your input on my BAs. I'm really trying my best. :P @Jorre I made the lightning effect with a hair (a really kind contribution of my wife). I've coated the hair with superglue 2 or 3 times. Carefully rinse it in water to solidify quickly. Then cut it in a few pieces, glue it on the palm of the hand and paint it. Keep in mind that the lightning is thinner and more delicate IRL. Hope this helps! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/192814-vahouths-blood-angels-revisited-updated-09072015/page/2/#findComment-2494630 Share on other sites More sharing options...
vahouth Posted November 9, 2010 Author Share Posted November 9, 2010 Hello everyone! It's been a few months since I last updated this thread and that's mainly because real life gets in the way :tu: So after I've moved in to my new home and the birth of my son (WIP picture will follow in the near future), I've finally found some time to continue painting my BA force. So, for this update I have: The TDA Librarian I made for the Arena of Death has now a better (hopefully) lightning effect. http://img180.imageshack.us/img180/725/lib1.jpg http://img248.imageshack.us/img248/1117/lib2e.jpg http://img199.imageshack.us/img199/2705/lib3o.jpg For some time now I'm using a differend highlighting colour for red (Tanned Flesh instead of Blasing orange) which makes me happier :tu: With this in mind, I updated my Furioso using Tanned Flesh. http://img9.imageshack.us/img9/8208/fur1z.jpg http://img185.imageshack.us/img185/1175/fur2r.jpg http://img530.imageshack.us/img530/4492/fur3.jpg I also finished my first Assault squad! My meltagunner with custom scabbard http://img301.imageshack.us/img301/8263/asm3.jpg The 2 special weapons together http://img19.imageshack.us/img19/3420/asm2o.jpg 2 typical marines http://img593.imageshack.us/img593/3798/asm1.jpg and finally a shooter http://img703.imageshack.us/img703/3782/asm4.jpg Up next, a Sanguinary priest and my version of Aphael himself.

vahouth Posted November 10, 2010 Author Share Posted November 10, 2010 And .... Donatos Aphael himself!

Midnightmare Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 Excellent painting there mate, love Aphael (I'm in agreement with the wargear choice too) the gem on his shoulder pad really pops :P He certainly stands out from the humble troops, but its nice that you lavish loads of attention on them too. Not to blingy the way I like 'em. Favourite is the dreadnought though, weathering looks excellent :tu:t Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/192814-vahouths-blood-angels-revisited-updated-09072015/page/2/#findComment-2558358 Share on other sites More sharing options...

(The most viable Captain choice IMHO) http://img5.imageshack.us/img5/4899/aph3.jpg Err... the heraldry on his cloak is freehand or what? It, and the mud, look amazing! I'm beginning to warm to the idea of a 2xLC Captain with JP (or even TDA).

Red Fury Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 Wow Vahouth, your painting skills are looking top notch! I also really liked the way you did the two-tone on the jump packs for the captain and priest, I may have to borrow that. I was just painting a sergeant's power sword last night, after seeing this I may have to go take another stab at it. Yours ended a lot brighter with more highlights and almost like a stippling look, I like it.

Cpt. Salvatore Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 I too am a proud member of the 2nd company and I must say, Your version of Aphael is perfect. I am doing mine from the AoBR captain wich I got from a freind of mine, but I was also Thinking about kitbashing him. Not that I would play him, It is just a great piece for display, the Company captain. Anyway, your Donatos surely is awesome. No doubts about that. Glory to the Blooded!

vahouth Posted November 12, 2010 Author Share Posted November 12, 2010 I want to thank you all guys for the feedback, for it is what keeps me going so that I can finally finish the Blooded. B) @Midnight Runner Glad you like them mate. :) As for the weathering on the Dreadnought, I feel that I should thank Ancient God, for his weathering technique. That's what I used even if I haven' had the same result (yet). ;) @Shatter Yeap, that's freehand alright and what a pain too. I've found that a multi-curved surface is not the best for freehand, but I'm pleased with the result. I know that each Company's heraldry is the Captain's heraldry, so I wanted to show that either by sculpting or painting. As you can see I chose second. :) @Red Fury The lightning effect on the sword and claws is my interpretation of the one in our Codex. It's not perfect but I'm still working on it. :) As for the Jump Packs, I don't own the patent so... why not, be my guest. :D @Cpt. Salvatore Always a pleasure to be in the presence of a brother from the Blooded! I don't own the AoBR Captain ^_^ (yet) but will soon. And I never really thought of the idea fielding a Captain before, but since I'm building a whole company I found that I needed one, so I tried to make him as viable as possible, considering my style of play. And to keep this thread going, here is the first half of the 7th squad (still WIP), with 2 sergeants (power fist, twin claws+meltabombs) http://img560.imageshack.us/img560/8994/wipm.jpg Thanks for watching!

And I never really thought of the idea fielding a Captain before, but since I'm building a whole company I found that I needed one, so I tried to make him as viable as possible, considering my style of play. On the AoBR one, I like the simple fact that he looks really classy without much bling on him. I also like the fact that he resembles the only pic we attribute to Cpt. Aphael in all codicies. Though, to keep him in touch with the pic from the dex, would you think modelling him a plasmagun of some sort would be good? Also, what hair would you give to our captain? As one of the Blooded, your input here is from the heart for sure:) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/192814-vahouths-blood-angels-revisited-updated-09072015/page/2/#findComment-2560765 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though, to keep him in touch with the pic from the dex, would you think modelling him a plasmagun of some sort would be good? Also, what hair would you give to our captain? As one of the Blooded, your input here is from the heart for sure:) To be honest, I wouldn't do that because I don't think that Characters carry only what you see in some pictures. Look at Sicarius. His wargear varied from single lightning Claw, to twin lightning claws, to AoBR Captain, to the recent one with his unique sword and plasma pistol. Also I know many believe that Aphael is in that picture in our dex, but IMHO I think it's just another random picture to fill a gap. As for the hair of our Captain... I know that he won't be blonde for sure (It's a stereotype that I don't like), I'm a Blood Quest fan :drool: . I would probably go for grey or even white hair, so that I will show his age and experience. And that will be the case for every HQ in my army. @gabrionus1 Thanks man, glad you like them.
