Master Avoghai Posted December 25, 2010 Share Posted December 25, 2010 Well a ambitious project that is... One of my best friend is one of the Premium rogue trader shop's owner here in France. Due to this status, he has the duty to realize a table for French GD 2011. The table was planned to oppose his big ork army and an imperial army. Both should contain titans warhound and orkish equivalent in size. But the 2 masterpieces will be the 2 huge titans. One is almost finished, the imperator class Titan. Alas, the owner of the other Premium shop who should have participated with 10000 points of imperial guard has definitly closed :P So he was looking for a replacement... And thought about my DA army. He asked me what I have as painted pieces, how much points in my "to-do" painting list and if I feel able to get them painted for May... I've rapidly made a list : 6500pts painted. HQ : Ezekiel Sammael Belial Company Master Chappy on bike Chappy in Termi armour Chappy in jetpack Libby on bike Libby in termi amour Libby on foot ELITE : 10 Veterans with bolter/plasma or CCW in dropod 3 company dreads with different weapons (ML/TLLC-PC/CCW-Mortis TLAC) 1 venerable dread with MM/CCW 25 scouts organized in 3 squads (10CCW/10Snipers-ML/5bolters-HB) Techmarine with servo harness TROOPS 3 tactical squads with transports 3 RW attack squadrons 1 DW squad FAST ATTACK : 15 Assault marines RW LS with MM 6 scouts on bike (using SM codex) HEAVY SUPPORT : Vindicator Predator Land Raider Whirlwind And 4500pts to be painted : HQ : Azrael Done 2 command squads Done LR Prometheus ELITE : 1 venerable dread Done Drop pod for dread with MM Done TROOPS : 1 tactical squad with transport Done 1 RW command squadron Done 1 DW command squad Done 4 DW squads FAST ATTACK : 7 assault marines to complete the othe squad Done HEAVY SUPPORT : 1 MKIIb Land Raider Done 1 Crusader 1 Land Raider Done 1 Devastator squad with 4ML Done Caestus Done The "to do" painting list looks like this : http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y50/Masteravoghai/Dark%20angels/P1040034.jpg Discouraging in some way huh? Anyway... When my friend called me, I was just giving the final touch to Belial and my 1st DW squad... http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y50/Masteravoghai/IMGP2023.jpg It encouraged to paint the 1st Land Raider and the 1st venerable dread. http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y50/Masteravoghai/IMGP2026.jpg http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y50/Masteravoghai/IMGP2027.jpg http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y50/Masteravoghai/Dark%20angels/IMGP2016.jpg I've also started the assault marines and the second LR (made in green transport for company master) To keep motivation I've also done some modelling stuff => finishing the RW command squadron http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y50/Masteravoghai/Dark%20angels/IMGP2056.jpg http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y50/Masteravoghai/Dark%20angels/IMGP2054.jpg http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y50/Masteravoghai/Dark%20angels/IMGP2057.jpg Now, I'm on finishing the 2nd LR and assault squad and started to undercoat the RW command squadron and the deva squad. I've also passed the green layer on the tactical squad with airbrush... I've opened this topic to keep up the motivation :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/217880-master-avoghais-quest-10000pts-army-for-french-games-day/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

LardO'Blood Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 Good luck! Is it 10,000 points? You have 11,000 listed ;) (6,500+4,500=11,000) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/217880-master-avoghais-quest-10000pts-army-for-french-games-day/#findComment-2599872 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Avoghai Posted December 28, 2010 Author Share Posted December 28, 2010 Indeed, it will be 10000... But by making the count, I'ved reached 11000... Seems that finally there will be some cuts here and there... :P Just a new pic : assault marines done! http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y50/Masteravoghai/Dark%20angels/IMGP2104.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/217880-master-avoghais-quest-10000pts-army-for-french-games-day/#findComment-2600520 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Master Avoghai Posted December 28, 2010 Author Share Posted December 28, 2010 Thanks Isiah... I just have to add the grass, now the varnish has dried, I think It's time to... If I manage not to forget RW is waaaaay fast to paint hence the Command Squadron LS is done : http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y50/Masteravoghai/Dark%20angels/IMGP2109.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/217880-master-avoghais-quest-10000pts-army-for-french-games-day/#findComment-2600656 Share on other sites More sharing options...
LardO'Blood Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Very nice! I like the blue highlights on the landspeeder, it makes the Ravenwing seem more deadly almost... Are you going to leave the flying base blank?

Master Avoghai Posted December 29, 2010 Author Share Posted December 29, 2010 Are you going to leave the flying base blank? Actually not, this is a temporary one, I'll use the B2B-ix resin bases like for my attack bikes. Like I told before I was working at several units in the same time to keep the motivation. I've finally ended my company LR, perfect transport for MAster Avoghai and his fellows :wub: http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y50/Masteravoghai/Dark%20angels/IMGP2111.jpg Next step : RW command squadron!

Master Avoghai Posted January 2, 2011 Author Share Posted January 2, 2011 Wow, making some rapid progress. You'll be done by February at this rate! Well this is an illusion : I've started posting while finishing several projects in the same time, Actually only the LS and the assault marines weren't startred at my 1st post. Now that Iv'e started to paint 4 diferent unit (tactical squad, RW command squadron, DW squad and LR Crusader) I may be long before my next post. But ten again, since this project will be finished in the same time, I'll give the feeling that I paint them pretty fast... + Now I'm on holydays! ^_^ However, I've found something that may help me for sparing time : the army painter skeleton bone can! On your right, the LR you've seen some posts before : White undercoat then bleached bone witha large brush. On your left, the crusader after a single layer of skeleton bone spray http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y50/Masteravoghai/Dark%20angels/IMGP2118.jpg Great huh? (don't think I'll use it for my DW termis though, I prefer the technic I currently use to under line constrasts) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/217880-master-avoghais-quest-10000pts-army-for-french-games-day/#findComment-2604499 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandalphon Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 Hail Frater! What an undertaking indeed! from the looks of things you're well on your way to finishing up those unfinished pieces, i'm particularly loving the ravenwing scheme you've got going and the ones youve assembled look very promising! :) Maybe you need a swig of the old greeting brew for some added encouragement? :P Good to see you're still doing the DA proud. /salute Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/217880-master-avoghais-quest-10000pts-army-for-french-games-day/#findComment-2605081 Share on other sites More sharing options...
brennus Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 (don't think I'll use it for my DW termis though, I prefer the technic I currently use to under line constrasts) My painting skills are only fair, but I have been avoiding the Army Painted stuff for a similar reason - please post a photo of the LR and a terminator when you can get a chance! I have a LRC waiting in the wings, and I wouldn't mind taking a shortcut or two on that tank.

Master Avoghai Posted January 9, 2011 Author Share Posted January 9, 2011 The rhino/RZB for the tactical squad #2 is finished... well almost I have to paint the Storm bolter and the Lascannon turrets to have a fully-flexible transport vehicule. However, since it will be used as such for the Apoc battle it won't be a problem... http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y50/Masteravoghai/Dark%20angels/IMGP2124.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/217880-master-avoghais-quest-10000pts-army-for-french-games-day/#findComment-2611394 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isiah Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Nice looking vehicle. The Rhino top hatch conversion is great. BTW on you excellent RW attack bike – why has the gunner a red helmet and right shoulderpad or have I missed something in a previous post :( ?

Master Avoghai Posted January 9, 2011 Author Share Posted January 9, 2011 BTW on you excellent RW attack bike – why has the gunner a red helmet and right shoulderpad or have I missed something in a previous post ;) ? Nope, I've chosen to add a Mars follower in each squadron as I consider that going in recon with a highly mechanized unit with a technical support is a total non sense... + it allows me not to model the robe in this particular model ;) And since I had 2h30 left this evening, I've decided to paint a model I own for ages : The Chapter Master himself : Azrael. As you noticed, it's the version WITHOUT the sculpted banner... I'll paint it later but be sure it will be done for GD. Little detail you may notice : the Lion Helm is black as it is unlikely Jonson ever wore the green colour. http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y50/Masteravoghai/Dark%20angels/IMGP2127.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/217880-master-avoghais-quest-10000pts-army-for-french-games-day/#findComment-2611702 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Avoghai Posted January 29, 2011 Author Share Posted January 29, 2011 Just to proove I haven't given up! :unsure: The RW Command squad is almost done, just the blue work on them to do. I've also added a Typhoon to the strike force. It allows me to try this new viable option + it fill the point gap caused by replacing the 3 metal tornados (too risky to bring to an event like this) by a Caestus I got this winter (yeah... ok... the "risk" was not the only reason for removing the LS) http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y50/Masteravoghai/Dark%20angels/IMGP2133.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/217880-master-avoghais-quest-10000pts-army-for-french-games-day/#findComment-2638726 Share on other sites More sharing options...

virusoverload Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 I hope you don't mind me asking but how did you paint the blue on the ravenwing? I've been wanting to do something a little different on mine and I would like to have a go at trying the style you have used. Also I would like to thankyou for this post as I have a mere 3000pts of dark angels and half of them still need painting and you have inspired me to get them finished.

Master Toddius Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 You're a madman, Avoghai! ^_^ Goodluck with it all. Army Painter will help get the job done fast. You're doing it like I would. Basic base color, hard trim, dark recesses, smart minimal detailing. Remember - you can always revisit it later and add more detail and shading. ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/217880-master-avoghais-quest-10000pts-army-for-french-games-day/#findComment-2640930 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been wanting to do something a little different on mine and I would like to have a go at trying the style you have used. Well since I've stolen the idea to Master Toddius it would be unfait to not share it... :) First highlight in Regal blue Then Enchanted blue Then a little highlight with ice blue (or 50-50 mix enchanted + skull white). This one really give the depth of the enlightment but must be really small, often no more than a point. And now my complete RW on the table ( a little less than 2000pts... Need 2 more Typhoon to fix that :) ) http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y50/Masteravoghai/Dark%20angels/IMGP2159.jpg I've also done that tomorrow evening...
