Master Avoghai Posted February 24, 2011 Author Share Posted February 24, 2011 Half of my LPC vow is fulfilled : my DW Command squad is done! The Apothecary, the sgt and the LC termi http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y50/Masteravoghai/Dark%20angels/CdtDW.jpg The Standard Bearer with better light http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y50/Masteravoghai/Dark%20angels/PEDW.jpg A close up of the AC http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y50/Masteravoghai/Dark%20angels/CAcdt.jpg I've finally decided to paint my Caestus in Green. Easier, better look in a dark colour and more logical : it is unlikely that such vehicle is specifically affiliated to a company Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/217880-master-avoghais-quest-10000pts-army-for-french-games-day/page/3/#findComment-2670537 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayward Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Awesome force you have here borther. Simple as it is, your advice on painting the robes higlights AFTER the armour is priceless. Its just one of those obvious things you pass by... Looking foward to see the Caestus finished, Im planning on scratching one for myself and will go with a green/bone scheme, mostly green.

Master Avoghai Posted February 27, 2011 Author Share Posted February 27, 2011 thanks for the input guys I couldn't resist adding more TH/SS to my force and also CML... I've continued converting the SH marines into DW ones...

krewl Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Are you doing the entire Ceastus green? I liked the scheme you showed earlier, so I hope I misunderstood you. Also I feel suchs a semi unique transport could be devoted to the inner circle, kind of like the company mercedes for the higherups.. Made sense to me at least. Also I demand MORE WIP pictures, and army pictures of the whole billion point army!!

Master Avoghai Posted March 6, 2011 Author Share Posted March 6, 2011 Are you doing the entire Ceastus green? I liked the scheme you showed earlier, so I hope I misunderstood you. Also I feel suchs a semi unique transport could be devoted to the inner circle, kind of like the company mercedes for the higherups.. Made sense to me at least. Actually I tend tothink that such vehicles are under the chapter's general command rather than a specific company and then are dispatched to the units that need it... so they should bear the chapter colour and not a specific company colour.. So yes it will be entire green with little touches of bone to break the "all-green" aspect Also I demand MORE WIP pictures, and army pictures of the whole billion point army!! Well I have one at least... http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y50/Masteravoghai/Dark%20angels/IMGP2237.jpg Let me explain the story of this guy. I was finishing my MkIIb LR and wanted to re-count the army list due to some changes (replacement of 3 tornados by the caestus, replacement of 3 AC by CML etc...). That's the moment I chose to notice a typo in the RAS value making them 100pts more expensive than they should and since I removed 3 Tornado it leavesa gap of 700pts... I you add the economy I've made by replacing the tornados (50pts) and the ACs (30pts), it leaves me with a 9500pts list rather than 10000. Ok I have to find 500pts then Luckily with all the Hammers/CML I have added, some already painted models were supposed to finally stay in the box... By reorganizing my DW squads I could reform a 5th squad but I missed only one termi with Chainfist... That's why I've made this one. That's still 250pts done... For the further (and last) 250pts I think I'll go with a prometheus LR (with all the HB goodness). I already have the resin kit so it will be done quite fast, particulary since I've discovered this beautiful Army painter Angels Green... The result is amazing, I'll post a comparison pic soon... Anyway I need to go back to work, things seem to have evolved in a way that force me to accelerate my painting rythm ! :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/217880-master-avoghais-quest-10000pts-army-for-french-games-day/page/3/#findComment-2679892 Share on other sites More sharing options...
krewl Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Well it isn't really the entire army, but I will take what I get :P How far along the list are you now? 5000 done of 10.000 or more like 7.500 of 10.000 ?

Master Avoghai Posted March 8, 2011 Author Share Posted March 8, 2011 Well I'll post the pic of the entire army once done, not before... so be patient. I think I've passed the 8000pts step since I now just have 8 LoD marines, 10 devastator marines, 1 crusader, 1 caestus, 6 termis and 3 or 4 vets... Of course you'll have to add the Prometheus LR now... Just a pic to compare the look of Army Painter's Angels Green Left : Airbrushed DA green Right : Angels Green from Army painter http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y50/Masteravoghai/Dark%20angels/IMGP2248.jpg Similar isn't it? I now know how to spare more times with my company marines ;) I've finished the MkIIb, not totally satisfied of the result but I think it's enough for now, I still can add some modifications later (note that the SB turret is still in-the-way-to-be-painted but is not necessary for the GD http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y50/Masteravoghai/Dark%20angels/IMGP2244.jpg http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y50/Masteravoghai/Dark%20angels/IMGP2245.jpg http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y50/Masteravoghai/Dark%20angels/IMGP2247.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/217880-master-avoghais-quest-10000pts-army-for-french-games-day/page/3/#findComment-2681965 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grand Master Neo Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 MkIIb looks amazing. only thing i would say is to try and get a bit more shadow in there somehow. maybe an inkwash in the recesses then touch up anywhere you may go over with bleached bone Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/217880-master-avoghais-quest-10000pts-army-for-french-games-day/page/3/#findComment-2682300 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bringer of Redemption Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 I'd second what GM Neo said--the bone nice and solid as a color, but seems to be lacking depth. Otherwise, the entire LR looks great. --BoR Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/217880-master-avoghais-quest-10000pts-army-for-french-games-day/page/3/#findComment-2682325 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Avoghai Posted March 9, 2011 Author Share Posted March 9, 2011 For the depth of the bone : I've actually tried to use inks on terlis and it indeed give a nmore brown effect that adds depth to the colour... Problem is : I don't manage to handle ink properly when in comes to paint rapidly a group of models. And it's'even worse with vehicles and large flat zones... So I've given up inks or paint wash Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/217880-master-avoghais-quest-10000pts-army-for-french-games-day/page/3/#findComment-2682717 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Master Neo Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 i do it almost in a production line technique purely because inks take so long to dry i do my deathwing as follows: spray black base coat bubonic brown flesh wash all over redo bubonic brown leaving recesses bleached bone bleached bone/white highlights i always leave about 1mm line between colours Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/217880-master-avoghais-quest-10000pts-army-for-french-games-day/page/3/#findComment-2682755 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makers Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 The MKIIb is great, but i have to agree as well, it needs some shadow or drybrush to create depth. Looks like a big Beige box with guns.

Gillyfish Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 I agree - the IIb looks fantastic! If you do decide to go back and add shading - try the GW washes and essentially 'brown line' the recesses. Should add definition between panels. Then simply highlight a few areas with white/bleached bone to give a little more contrast and it's done! Looks good as is though and certainly good enough for your game.

Yup that's actually what I plan to do for my 2 bone Land Raiders. So I've worked on my 4th LR and today I do the green highlights + work on the tech and the lights to finish it. However I've taken a pic so that you can see it BEFORE the highlights : http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y50/Masteravoghai/Dark%20angels/IMGP2251.jpg Green is definitly easier to work ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/217880-master-avoghais-quest-10000pts-army-for-french-games-day/page/3/#findComment-2692220 Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Shadow Guard Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Very nice work Avoghai, yo are turning out land raiders faster than I could turn out terminatot marines.

Sandalphon Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 Lookin good avoghai! the crusader looks great pre-highlighting and the bone IIB looks great too, if you're worried about it being too clean or too beige maybe just add some coloured (red i suppose) markings or panels to break it up? I also find a good few rounds of drybrushing bestial brown and a final brush of bleached bone makes for some quick and effective muddy track weathering... keep em coming!

Master Avoghai Posted March 21, 2011 Author Share Posted March 21, 2011 Hi guys, as promised, a first WIP pic of the Caestus. The central part is mostly done : need to make the 2nd degree of hilights + add some details like squadron marking to break the all-green aspect. This evening I'll do the wings.. hopefully :) http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y50/Masteravoghai/Dark%20angels/IMGP2256.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/217880-master-avoghais-quest-10000pts-army-for-french-games-day/page/3/#findComment-2696054 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Avoghai Posted March 22, 2011 Author Share Posted March 22, 2011 Another quick WIP of the Caestus. It's mostly done now. It misses the scorpion green touch and some details here and there. I've made A bone stripe as I planned and I'm quite satisfied of the final look. I'll surely paint the Missile Launchers in metal + badab black wash. http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y50/Masteravoghai/Dark%20angels/IMGP2263.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/217880-master-avoghais-quest-10000pts-army-for-french-games-day/page/3/#findComment-2697361 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Baphomet Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Some excellent work here, really crisp and clean finishes. The Army Painter sprays seem to give a good even coat. I'll probably invest in some of them then, to save loads of time so thanks for the tip. I'd love to get a Caestus, but the only thing putting me off is the fact you can't put two squads of Terminators in it (unless the printed rules say otherwise) and just putting one squad with two characters, leaving three empty spaces, kinda defeats the object of taking it IMO. What are you planning to run yours with?

The Shadow Guard Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 That looks brilliant. Very crisp paining style. Adding the bleached bone panels relaly brings the vessel to life along with the icons and markings.
