Phosis Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Why are there no replies? THIS IS AWESOME I'd love to fight your army Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaosRaptor Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 I...but...uh... Wow. The thing that sticks out most for me is the highlighting on your Tactical Squad...makes them really stand out. That said, all of these are exceptional man. Are the Chapter symbols free-handed? Keep up the amazing work! :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FatMan Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Good looking Dark Angels there! I like the Green Armor, it’s a hard edge and that makes it cool. And the dry brushing on the robes seems to have worked out well! Your bone is superb but your metals are lacking all of the sophistication you have on the other colors. Good stuff!

MagicMan Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Not the greatest fan of the DA scheme, but these are lovely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spacewolf15 Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Well done sir. The edge highlighting looks very nice with the troops en masse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dynamicspartan Posted April 27, 2011 Author Share Posted April 27, 2011 Thanks for the replies everyone. @Phosis- I'd like to fight against your army. I'm a fan of your Thousand Sons. I'd be more honored to fight along side you though as I also play Thousand Sons. Thier my second love after the unforgiven. :) @Kaosraptor- Indeed the chapter symbols are free hand. In fact, everything on every marine is freehand. I try to stay away from transfers on my marines because I can't make them look good. :rolleyes: @Fatman- The silver does look bland. I will probably go back and do highlights on them. The only excuse for it lacking is laziness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quixus Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 I agree they look great. Mind sharing where Bolter Marine 3's helmet is from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dynamicspartan Posted April 27, 2011 Author Share Posted April 27, 2011 It's a berzerker helmet with the bunny ears and trim removed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wicced Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 I agree they look great. Mind sharing where Bolter Marine 3's helmet is from? i think it's from the "bunny headed" khorne berzerkers with the ears cut off... and fine looking Dark Angels indeed dynamicspartan :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, you have a right to be proud man, looks excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sons of Horus Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 The highlights are a little bit too bright don't you think? Maybe tone them down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tulkas Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 Great looking Dark Angels, the only thing I can think of to say beyond that is, I'd use a smaller brush for the highlights (or thin the paint a little more). Watery paint for highlights can come out real great once you've got some practise in. But other than that, like I said, great looking Angels. The Freehanding on Marine 6 is awesome.

Yeah i have to agree with Tulkas man. i love the handpainting on the helm. always have loved variant schemes and its cool to see some on a loyalist marine.

Isiah Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 The hand painted iconography I love. I'll be honest and say I'm not a huge fan of radient edges highlighting – but that's taking nothing away from your excellent painting sir ^_^. Your DW are awesome sauce, and your robes are nice and, err. 'dirty'. I'd love to see how you tackle larger surface area models (vehicles, Dreads etc) in this same style. To make them even better you need to give some serious love to their bases B). Cheers I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olis Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 Nice SH conversions. Good painting too. I think the highlights, while alot, are pretty good. Keep it up, brother. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Toddius Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 There has been a trend on this site over the last 3 or 4 years that kick ass HOH posts get ignored or barely commented on because of jealousy or people just have nothing to add and won't take the time to compliment. But I have to say I love the creativity in your icon placements, the squads are a 4 or 5 steps above table top quality which is saying a lot with most peoples armies at tournaments or game stores. You should be proud of the work you've done. Its nice and clean and deep in color/highlights/contrasts. Now lets hope GW will compliment your work with a functional dark angel codex after 4 years of a disastrous one. Nice Job :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dynamicspartan Posted May 1, 2011 Author Share Posted May 1, 2011 Thanks again for all the compliments everyone. I can understand those of you not liking the highlights as they are a tad on the extreme side, but I think that each individual model looks a little extreme, but as a unit they really stand out and look great. I'm working on the last member of the squad. When I finish him I'll start working on a rhino for you Isiah as that's what I have planned next. ;) I also plan on posting my jump chaplain with the next post. As for the bases, I really want to base them because they honestly need them. I'm thinking of doing urban bases, but I want to do it without overloading the bases with building parts and all that stuff. Kind of like the smooth highway and worn city streets in the basing SM bikes article on GW website but with debris here and there. What do you guys think?

Olis Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 Sounds good but how are you going to get good variation? Different road markings, different rubble etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dynamicspartan Posted May 1, 2011 Author Share Posted May 1, 2011 Thats a fair point. I'll probably use different sizes of rocks for that. gf9 makes some good stuff and I'm looking at them for details for the most part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyrannosaurus Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 Big fan of the old skool 'Tron' highlighting - may look a little over the top for some in an extreme close-up shot but must look awesome on the table. Plus you've nailed the bone colour. Nice work man! Now get painting and post some more ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
