Wiffinberg Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 I have recently joined the B&C and have finaly decided to join the ranks and start posting some of my new chapter "The Angels Blade" the color scheme wil become evident when i finish the tactical squads but I already have 2 dreadnaughts finished and a chapter master very close to completion Soo text aside here they are, and please tell me your thoughts :devil: Dreadnaught "Ahab" Dreadnaught "Borz" And WIP "Lord Forcas" (chapter master) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/215789-new-successor-the-angels-blade/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanhausen Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 Welcome on board! That helmet looks sweet! The cape seems a bit shiny/gloss but might be due to flash... maybe a soft wash? Regarding the dreadnoughts... have you used baking soda for the bases? Looks nice! Don't understand the "blue" pieces and please give the edges a quick paint cover (even if its only green or brown)... it will improve the effect A LOT! Nice decals ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/215789-new-successor-the-angels-blade/#findComment-2571840 Share on other sites More sharing options...
vash1023 Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 looks great and welcome. only thing im gonna be critical on is that im a big (scale/size) eyed kinda person, and i found one MAJOR flaw with your chapter master. the force sword he carries is twice the size of the scabbard its supposed to rest in. so it looks kinda silly hanging on his waist. just my 2 cents :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/215789-new-successor-the-angels-blade/#findComment-2571861 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isiah Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 Looking good - some very nice details. The Dreads look awesome (love the chainsword on the ac :tu:) and look nicely ornate. On the sword/scabbard, there is still a sword in the scabbard isn't there? Might need to cut that hilt off. I'll be blunt - I don't think the 'snow' base is doing your models any favours. Its too lumpy or crude maybe. Or the colours aren't quite working (especially the blue with DA green). Maybe make the base top layer a bit smoother? Or maybe it just is that blue :) .

Wiffinberg Posted November 25, 2010 Author Share Posted November 25, 2010 Scabbard and the power sword is a tad off scale lol but he is still a WIP so I will fix this must have been the flash because i have not put any finishes on the cape yet As for the blue and the bases they are not quite finished yet they are only lumpy because of some pumice i put in the "snow" (living in a volcanic area is great for rocks XD) I agree that the blue dosnt look good either, just thought i would try it out, too much contrast between the green and the blue? cheers for the constructive criticism will be sure to post the pics when finished Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/215789-new-successor-the-angels-blade/#findComment-2572241 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SecretStamos Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 I use the same sword for my captain. Seems to be a popular conversion item. I'd make a thread to showcase my army, but my camera phone cannot capture detail.

Wiffinberg Posted November 27, 2010 Author Share Posted November 27, 2010 done! muhahah the chapter master is finished with a new sword and the dreads bases have been fixed (along with a weapon swap- because magnets are epic) Lord Forcas of The Angels Blade: And finished bases for the dreads and Borz (the first one) has his old terminator storm shield attached to his right leg NO MORE ICE BLUE!

Chaplain Lucifer Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 Looking pretty good. I really liked the chain attachment to the dreadnought assault cannon. I might have to borrow that idea... :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/215789-new-successor-the-angels-blade/#findComment-2574189 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wiffinberg Posted November 29, 2010 Author Share Posted November 29, 2010 go ahead haha i was just thinking of something to spice it up a little and thought a chainsword would be cool of course it doesnt count as a weapon but it looks nice oh and there is a small powerblade underslung on the lascannon too (just throwing that out there) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/215789-new-successor-the-angels-blade/#findComment-2574901 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 I like your name for the Successor chapter I got to ask how did you make the plume thing on your chapter master's head? ive always wanted to see how that would look on a Dark Angel, but now you got me convinced that it looks epic XD i made the same conversion for the combi plasma too for my chapter master a few little painting tips, it seems that some of your paint is alittle thick so try and add a drop or 2 of water so that you paint on thiner coats of paint not just one big glop that you can spread around. and watch for the receses of the armor having alittle bit of a shadow makes the model that more impressive on the table. Use snot green for the highlights of the green armor that can make them pop a bit and i think it would tie up your models nicely :D just some freindly tips use them at your leausure Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/215789-new-successor-the-angels-blade/#findComment-2582565 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiffinberg Posted December 7, 2010 Author Share Posted December 7, 2010 Cheers Peter, I am currently waiting for another DA chapter upgrade sprue to arrive and i will convert the chapter master again (undecided if i will change the model itself) the plume on the helmet was acutally a smakk plastic gear i pulled out of a cheap clock :P very handy i have to say thanks for the painting tips too mate i will be changing the color scheme slightly so i will post pics when i can (work takes priority at this stage ^_^ ) and i have been trying to thin the paints a little as i go and hope to perfect it with a bit more practice I have also decided to have my chapter follow the codex SM (DA players do NOT kill me) as it has a wider variety of wargear in some respects, so keep an eye out for an unforgiven chapter master complete with a powerful honour guard thanks again to all for the feedback, it has been very helpful. Once i get my eyes working again the painting should improve haha Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/215789-new-successor-the-angels-blade/#findComment-2582819 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 A gear eh? haha well whatever works XD I cant blame you for useing the SM codex...its more up todate and it give you more variety in the units and whatnot. since your doing a successor chapter I think you'll be fine just keep some of the DA fluff stuff in mind oh and go check out my YouTube channel for some more Dark Angel tips and stuff that ive done :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/215789-new-successor-the-angels-blade/#findComment-2583454 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord_Hail Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 At least your not using the space puppy codex (insert dark laugh). A lot of people do and it will be that way till we get an updateded codex and everyone suddenly will be playing us again.

Wiffinberg Posted December 7, 2010 Author Share Posted December 7, 2010 Muhahaha Them space puppys.... Can't wait till we get an updated codex, i just hope its on par with the others I have some ideas for fluff... I'm kinda leaning towards a group of dark angels that formed the succsessor in the wake of luthor's heresy. they rebelled against luthor's lies and adopted the structure of the ultramarines codex to guide them through the heresy and until the Lion returns. They still hold the DA's secrets but they do not have an inner circle as such as many if not all of the chapter know of the fallen. They kind of work behind the scenes, much like a secret service for the dark angels, whilst keeping up appearances for the sake of loyalty to the emperor (so the inquisition doesnt purge my house!) a bit of a mouthful but i needed to write it down :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/215789-new-successor-the-angels-blade/#findComment-2583500 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord_Hail Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 i like this idea... But i think you would be more along the lines of black ops..
