The first of the Archangels spreads his wings

[FallenArkAngel]

The first of the Archangels is born. A chapter very similar to that of the Blood Angels. Battles are won as they spread their wings and take flight, inspiring the men around them to fight all the harder.

Here's a work in progress on paint scheme, although I am feeling a green tabard instead.

Finally, here's where I want to go with the wings: brass and somewhat metallic:

Thoughts? Yes I know the back wings are off, they were a pain and did not want to glue. I will be painting them in pieces, like the trygon, as there are way to many crevices.

I like. It seems a bit Deathguard in style, but the wings are a nice touch.

 

The paintjob is quite good, did you do the scrollwork on the left knee freehand?

Not sure that terminator conversion was OPs work, he was using it as example of how he wants to do his wings.

 

It's a nice model, though the iconography screams "Dark Angels" to me, probably because it is lol. Any intentions of removing any of it?

 

Green seems a random colour to just throw in there. Maybe red, like the weapons? That would give a nice contrast for the brass/gold colour of the wings, also.
