Isiah Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Looking good. I like the sarge's helmet stripe and the green power weapons / claws. Looking forwards to seeing the caestus in DW colours :P.

krewl Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 An insane amount of painting, but for a worthy goal. I wish you the best of luck. (Note: do you also plan to paint the fortress for the event or is that just normally on your own to-do list? ) May I ask no better yet, CLAIM pictures á plenty of the mega battle these will support?

Master Avoghai Posted February 10, 2011 Author Share Posted February 10, 2011 An insane amount of painting, but for a worthy goal. I wish you the best of luck. (Note: do you also plan to paint the fortress for the event or is that just normally on your own to-do list? ) The battle is suppose to occur on an ork zone with plenty of ork structures... so no DA fortress... But maybe if I find the courage, mine will be done at time anyway... (It's half done at the present time) May I ask no better yet, CLAIM pictures á plenty of the mega battle these will support? Of course and I'm sure you'll find plenty of pics on the official GW website cos a 10000pts battle with one Warlord and one Mega Gargant is something GW will cover during their event By the way the Caestus is undercoated and painted with its base colour http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y50/Masteravoghai/Dark%20angels/IMGP2167.jpg I would like to make a big coloured strip at the rear of the vehicle just like this : http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Images/Product/AlternativeFW/xlarge/caestus18.jpg But do you think it will look better in DA green to keep the Green coherency with the other vehicle or in Dark red to fit with the bone/red traditionnal livery of the Deathwing?

krewl Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 I'd go with green as that is what you battle company uses and you can also use the Caestus for that. Pluss I feel green would match better with the bone white, where a big red strike would be to "screamy" for my liking Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/217880-master-avoghais-quest-10000pts-army-for-french-games-day/page/2/#findComment-2654152 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Avoghai Posted February 10, 2011 Author Share Posted February 10, 2011 Note that it would be a Dark Red, not a BA Red... Talking a bout BA, here's my WIP for my DW Command squad (note that I would surely also convert a TH/SS-ML termi and that I also have a Termi Standard Bearer with TH/SS, allowing me to field 3/5 members with the TH/SS which is IMO enough for suvivability) http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y50/Masteravoghai/Dark%20angels/IMGP2168.jpg Here are the closes-up The sgt http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y50/Masteravoghai/Dark%20angels/IMGP2169.jpg The SB : http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y50/Masteravoghai/Dark%20angels/IMGP2170.jpg The apoc: http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y50/Masteravoghai/Dark%20angels/IMGP2175.jpg The AC http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y50/Masteravoghai/Dark%20angels/IMGP2172.jpg And the LCed : http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y50/Masteravoghai/Dark%20angels/IMGP2173.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/217880-master-avoghais-quest-10000pts-army-for-french-games-day/page/2/#findComment-2654737 Share on other sites More sharing options...
HJL Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 really nice job. great find with the army painter stuff by the way! im looking at getting a can of the green now to paint my tanks with. Did you get it and do you have any idea how close to DA Green it is?

Master Avoghai Posted February 11, 2011 Author Share Posted February 11, 2011 Yeah heard about that... I haven't tried... I've had a look on their website and found that. http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_HCPanLbUnrc/TQEG_WnbLgI/AAAAAAAADhU/48LNf13lApw/s1600/The%20Army%20Painter%20-%20Quick%20Pay%20Method.jpg Seems like the Green is a little too dark comparing to what I've already done...

shabbadoo Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 Looks like you are moving along pretty well. Also, I didn't realize that the Caestus was that big. The thing looks monstrous alongside a Land Raider.

Master Avoghai Posted February 13, 2011 Author Share Posted February 13, 2011 Thanks! I've just finish to paint another squad of marines. It's the Tactical squad #2. I've just done the weapons options that are supposed to be played on GD, ne other ones will wait... The sqaud just need to be flocked. http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y50/Masteravoghai/Dark%20angels/IMGP2185.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/217880-master-avoghais-quest-10000pts-army-for-french-games-day/page/2/#findComment-2657745 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Master Avoghai Posted February 15, 2011 Author Share Posted February 15, 2011 I've been Asked on another forum to make a tutorial for my robe painting technique so I think that it's the occasion to post it as well. http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y50/Masteravoghai/Dark%20angels/TutoRobe.jpg Step 1 : After a black undercoat, I've used Bestial Brown. This colour is more a 2nd undercoat than a base colour due to the fact that Graveyard has few pigments and need a lighter base color (ignore this step if you use a white undercoat). Step 2 : I've recovered entirely the Bestial Brown with Graveyard Earth. Step 3 : I've used a 50-50 mix of Graveyard and Bleached Bone. The deepest parts of the robe are left in Graveyard Earth. Step 4 : This is the basic Colour : Bleached bone, don't hesitate to use 2 layers to have a intense colour. Leave apparent some deep parts with the previous colour. Step 5 : First enlightment : 50-50 mix of Bleache Bone and Skull white on the reliefs. Note that before this step, I've painted the amour parts and the details around the robe. The reason is simple. If I put some green on te robe, I still can pass a layer of bleached bone on it. Moreover since steps 5 and 6 are just details, don't risk to put some paint on the armour like on the previous steps. Step 6 : 2nd Enlightment : pure Skull white one the edges. Hope this helps Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/217880-master-avoghais-quest-10000pts-army-for-french-games-day/page/2/#findComment-2660211 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Master Avoghai Posted February 19, 2011 Author Share Posted February 19, 2011 Glad you like it. Note you can avoid step 1 by using Khemri Brown instead of Graveyard. I've just finished Brother Bethor and the 1st termi of my DW command squad Hope you like them : http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y50/Masteravoghai/Dark%20angels/IMGP2208.jpg http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y50/Masteravoghai/Dark%20angels/IMGP2203.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/217880-master-avoghais-quest-10000pts-army-for-french-games-day/page/2/#findComment-2664581 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan Blaire Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 Awesome work, Master Avoghai! I really like the freehand on the banner. How much Blood Angels iconography is on the Space Hulk Termis and how big a pain is it to get it all off? I've avoided most of the BA stuff because I figured it would be pretty rough to get it all off cleanly and then put DA icons back on, but now I'm thinking I missed out on two squads of really awesome Terminators. Your first DW looks great!

Master Avoghai Posted February 19, 2011 Author Share Posted February 19, 2011 Thanks! The BA icons are not that difficult to remove. Sometimes I've used DA details to hide some remnants of the BA icons (for ex the DA symbol above the termi's head) If you have some sculpting abilities you can easily replace a blood drop by a sword and obtain a DA symbol By the way I've finished the Apothecary :cuss http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y50/Masteravoghai/Dark%20angels/IMGP2210.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/217880-master-avoghais-quest-10000pts-army-for-french-games-day/page/2/#findComment-2664683 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Shadow Guard Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 Brilliant work MAster Avoghai.... the terminators look excellent. Personally I hate the tw LC termie from Space Hulk as the pose is somewhat primeval, as f he is trying to beat his chest and shout a challenge but with that paint job it looks the best i have seen.. <_< SG Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/217880-master-avoghais-quest-10000pts-army-for-french-games-day/page/2/#findComment-2665615 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Avoghai Posted February 21, 2011 Author Share Posted February 21, 2011 Thanks SG! Actually I love this wolverine-style pose... he he ;) Just a little WIP of the up-to-come Deathwing Banner http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y50/Masteravoghai/Dark%20angels/IMGP2223.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/217880-master-avoghais-quest-10000pts-army-for-french-games-day/page/2/#findComment-2667115 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandalphon Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Looking fantastic Avoghai! I've just embarked on some DW myself and now have some more inspiration! :thanks: it's mammoth task you've set yourself but are accomplishing it with style ;) Keep it up!

krewl Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 That pose is exactly wolverine. There is no way that was not intentional. (And I like it aswell.) Yes it's a bit animalistic, but that is what gives the pose the power. (Though I would advise against chestbeating with a pair of lightning claws....) I also bought the space hulk box and I must say the BA bits are mostly easy to remove, or stick a DA icon over them. @Avoghai, keep up the good work.
