Brother_Darius Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 I would think a unit of Black Knights, plus a Dark Shroud, would give you aa nice RW/DW force to starrt off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LokisSword Posted February 21, 2014 Author Share Posted February 21, 2014 Just adding a link here to my WIP topic, rather than spamming both forums: http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/287084-lokis-wip-dark-angels-and-other-marine-antics/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJD Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 I don't think anyone would mind seeing work of that quality posted here too. Excellent stuff it's inspiring to see people having a go at new things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cactus Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Agreed. I've commented on your other thread Loki but I'd love to see more of your work spammed across the DA forum. I might miss it otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LokisSword Posted March 19, 2014 Author Share Posted March 19, 2014 JJD / Cactus: Thanks guys, appreciated. I don't know how the mods would feel about duplicate postings - so I'll stick to bumping here when I've updated my WIP in the Painting forums.... In this weeks exciting issue I propose a new 'quick' method for painting DW bone, let me know what you think! Click the linky linky to get it while it's hot!

LokisSword Posted March 21, 2014 Author Share Posted March 21, 2014 Dark Angels in Action... Some more in this thread here, which I think needs more views (the original post, but feel free to scroll down and look at my contributions to ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Semper Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 Well Lokisword, it's been a long time! :D Awesome pic there man, the DAs in action are awe inspiring. Some great painting is going on here - keep at it! :tu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LokisSword Posted June 13, 2016 Author Share Posted June 13, 2016 So I'm back at it again. I've re-committed to the ETL effort and to my hobby time in general. Both my Wife and I are making a concious effort to balance our Work / Stress versus our creative time. We've converted our Lounge from a TV / Slobbing about room into a Studio space that the whole family can use. This means I get hobby time without having to shut myself away from everyone else - Win - Win! I've stripped the two Tactical squads I had painted and have decided on a new way to paint Green. Mainly air brush and then line highlights. The main aim of this is making painting Green faster, but also I wanted a style with greater impact. So here's where I'm at now. ETL Vow 1 - Start ETL Progress 1 And here's a quick recap of my DW colout scheme in contrast! I've also been busy working on a scratchbuilt Thunderhawk - but I'll post that up in my WIP thread in the Painting forums (link in Sig). Cheers lads & lasses!

Bryan Blaire Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 Welcome back to theRock, Brother LokisSword. As you know, all are always welcome to return, you simply need to check in with the Chaplains at Cell 42. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tygwyn Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 Beautiful work as ever - I am so envious of how smooth crisp and seamless you get those highlights. Impressed just isn't enough to sum up how I feel! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major_Gilbear Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 Very nice painting, well done! I personally think the lime green highlight may be a little too vibrant for such a dark and secretive chapter's scheme, but it is very neat, it does stand out, and I am a fan of selective line highlights on armour in general. If you're open to suggestions, maybe try adding a little beige or ivory to the previous highlight layer colour instead of using the lime green? Alternatively, perhaps try a little dark green wash/ink glazed over the model to moderate overall colour? Either way, they look great I look forward to seeing more of your work. (Oh, and drill out yer bolters! ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LokisSword Posted June 13, 2016 Author Share Posted June 13, 2016 Hey guys, thanks for the welcome back... Bryan Blaire: I'll be sure to check in at their earliest convenience! Tygwyn: Cheers buddy - that's a nice thing to say. Quite please myself as it's the first time I've really looked at doing sharp edge highlights instead of blending. Seems to be all the rage with the kids these days :) Major_Gilbear: I'm aware the green is a bit of a "love it or hate it" thing and I'm ok with that. I love Dark Angel fluff and I love the models as well, but I tend to find that with the very dark green a sea of them on the table kind of blends together. In reality, seen at actual size the highlights are actually quite tiny and don't look quite as bright as they do in the epics. Right I'm off to update my WIP thread with all the stuff I've been working on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gillyfish Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 Hey Lokisword, welcome back. I really like the edge highlights you've done on those green marines - some nice blending in there too. :) I'm really looking forward to seeing them finished. My experience of extreme highlights is that they look far less extreme once other colours are added. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major_Gilbear Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 @ LokisSword: I do like the green (you've managed a very neat and pleasing blend/highlight), I was just more concerned that the bright green would sail you close to the Christmas Tree look - especially if you were going to use red bolters! Anyway, as I said, I look forward to seeing more. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Epher Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 Nice looking marines! I am a fan of the highlights and the depth you've accomplished with the dark green. I like their poses tool, it just looks right. You have some good shading and layering on your terminator too! Glad to hear you have a hobby space! We've done the same thing at my house.
