I really like the Dreadnought it looks fantastic. Can you post a close up of death company?

[IronKobra]

ooooh, nice :P

[Mudpuppet]

I really like your models. I like how you have really made the sunken areas dark, almost black on the power armour, how did you paint them?

[TrentL]

I agree its a very nice army!

You can achieve something similar to that by either painting over the basecoat leaving those area's when painting red. Using the new washes, or for those thin lines.. use one of those Canvas pens that don't bleed Sakura pens or something like that.

Those blood angels look very nice! Keep it up

[Brother Nihm]

Stunning figures, I really like the basework as well. :tu:

 

How long did it take for you to paint them?

[Kurb]

Those look great!

[Entry1]

Where did you get the right arm for the preist, very cool model.

[The Yncarne]

Entry1: I believe it is from the Sang Guard box set.

[BrotherMoses]

Your artifice with these pieces is magnificent brother.

[Midnightmare]

Excellent Blood Angels, purple gems look excellent, especially on the vehicles.

 

EDIT - Red Worm and Entry1 I think the right arm is from the metal priest, formally in the honour guard box. Nice conversion :P

I abslutely love your army !!! Especially your priests!

 

Also how are those scouts working for you? I have some and was wondering if they are worth it?

[Pete553]

Thanks for your comments guys!

 

I've been painting this strike force for upto 3 years on and off again so its really pleasing to see it coming toward completion. Ive only got a Predator to go to bring them upto 1500 points.

 

The right-hand priest arm is actually from a retro metal apothecary which but it works magnificently with the pose of that Priest and am really pleased with how it came out.

 

With regards to the Scout squad they are currently my best performing unit in the army with their ability to sneak up on the enemy when I need them too and disrupt my opponents strategy. Im still play-testing these guys and have only had a couple of games to see what they can do so far needless to say I need to pick up my game a bit.

 

Am planning on doing another 4 Priests in the near future just to pay off some bills so keep your eyes posted for them

[Kurb]

GREAT paintjob!
