Andse Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 Hello! This is a marine I painted yesterday, testing the color scheme for my "soon to be" Ravenwing army. I've tried a few new techniques (atleast for me) as the only thing I've painted with before is Viva Metallica, washes only and a single space hulk termie.. I'd really like some C&C and I'm really looking to improve! Base obviously needs some work :jaw: Any ideas what would fit? Thanks, Andse Front: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v142/ViagraWake/DAmarinefront.jpg Sides: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v142/ViagraWake/DAmarineright.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v142/ViagraWake/DAmarineleft.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/193686-diy-dark-angels/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kronk Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 I like the lining. Especially on the shoulder pads and feet. The freehand on the gun is excellent. White paint is a PITA to pull off on dark primer, so your helmet looks a little chalky. The black-lining also disappears on the helmet at one point. (I paint black templar and struggle with white on black primer all of the time. :) ) The base needs something. Rocks, flocking, something. I don't like plain bases. The blue on the scope is excellent! That really jumps out at me. Fine work, there! The wing on the one shoulder pad looks a little off. Better than I can do, but I can't hardly tell what it's supposed to be. The eyes are great. So, that's my feedback. I think you did a great job. I like the colors. Your highlights are subtle, and they should be. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/193686-diy-dark-angels/#findComment-2301010 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkest Angel Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 Looks really good, I love the eyes, scope and that wing is awesome! Alas I have to agree that the white on the helm is a little chalky the shading lines do seem to vanish. Other than that it looks great. Great job Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/193686-diy-dark-angels/#findComment-2301095 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andse Posted March 1, 2010 Author Share Posted March 1, 2010 Thanks for the kind words :P I know the blacklining on the helmet disappeared on that one spot and I'm fixing it now :) Totally forgot about it.. It's a bit chalky, yes.. But it's only noticeable on a closeup, and I'll hopefully do better on my bikes :) I was a bit bugged about the wing too, so I've not redone it and I'm also planning to give battle damage a go :) Update will follow soon!

sisko11 Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 Nice scheme, reminds me of the Scions of Dorn chapter that used to be on these forums quite often, might be worth checking out for a bit of inspiration and ideas - Good luck!

Andse Posted March 3, 2010 Author Share Posted March 3, 2010 I've done some more work on the marine and he is now completely finished at this is how I'll do my ravenwing once I get some bikes ;) You might notice that I've tried to do some battle damage and I think I did okay.. It's quite difficult :) I also redid the shouldpad as I wasn't exactly satisfied with the wing http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v142/ViagraWake/Collage.jpg Let me know what you think, Andse Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/193686-diy-dark-angels/#findComment-2303007 Share on other sites More sharing options...
whiteraven17708 Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 i really like your color scheme, but why is your sword and wings upside down? is that a fluff thing for your chapter? and if its supposed to be that way... then why is the sword and wings on the bolter right side up?

Andse Posted March 4, 2010 Author Share Posted March 4, 2010 Thank you for the kind comments.. The one on the bolter is a sword + wing.. And the one on the shoulder is supposed to be a sword + halo.. If that makes sense..? :lol: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/193686-diy-dark-angels/#findComment-2303968 Share on other sites More sharing options...
