Droma Posted June 20, 2011 Author Share Posted June 20, 2011 It's shadow gray. I saw it on some death company on GW's homepage and thought it looked good. I've got 3 other squads of terminators that I'm not using for my current army list I may try your suggestion on one of them first and see how it turns out. On another note I finished up their power weapons last night so I'll see about getting pics of that up.

Droma Posted July 18, 2011 Author Share Posted July 18, 2011 I haven't updated in a while but I've made some good progress since the last time I posted. I've now got 7 full squads of terminators fully painted. I've got 3 TH/SH squads, 1 LC squad, and 3 shooty squads. All of them have CMLs. They aren't based yet as I'm still deciding exactly which route I want to go with them. Next up I'll be working on bikes. Hope you guys like them.

Droma Posted July 20, 2011 Author Share Posted July 20, 2011 I took some better pictures today so you guys can get a better look at what I've got. I'll be working on my bikes sometime this week or maybe my two dreads, I haven't decided yet.

Interrogator Stobz Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Looking great Droma, I really like your colour scheme very dark knightish. Can't wait to see them based up and ready to rock , I recommend a sandy or crumbles ruins base style to contrast their dark scheme. s Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/229004-wip-da-succesor/page/2/#findComment-2823645 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Droma Posted July 20, 2011 Author Share Posted July 20, 2011 I was really thinking about dropping some money on these. http://www.secretweaponminiatures.com/inde...;products_id=60 Or Ellis_Esquire told me how to make the bases like he's got in this thread. http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/index.p...0718&st=100 I'm just deciding which I want to do while I finish painting up the rest of my army.

Droma Posted July 20, 2011 Author Share Posted July 20, 2011 Figured I'd post a pic of all of my currently assembled models. I've still got a little bit of un-assembled stuff too. I've got 18 robed marines and 5 sniper scouts, and Sammy on jetbike still in the box. So all in all I've got roughly 1/3 of the deathwing, 1/2 a battle company, a ravenwing battleforce, 2 LR/C's, 2 dreads, and a razorback. Eventually I'd like to get another ravenwing battle force(or 2) and some more vehicles and I think I'll be set.

Captain Semper Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Great army you got there - keep it up! Really like the selective use of GK minis... I'm so used in them been metal-looking it's a great visual change. Look fwd for more!

Droma Posted August 16, 2011 Author Share Posted August 16, 2011 Some new updates. Ard Boys caused me to step up my painting and get my army finished in time so I've got my bikes/speeder/LRC's finished now. At some point I'll take a nicer picture of my whole 2500 point army(probably next time I'm at the store) but for now check out my finished bikes/raiders. As always critiques welcome. My next plans is to get my dreads and attack bikes done. I think I can wait on my powered armor dudes until I actually plan on using them in a game. I'll probably end up adding more to my termies and bikes before then though.

Commander S. Caesare Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Your highlights are REALLY intense. Overall, you just sweeped my Witchhunters off their feet.

Interrogator Stobz Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Looking great Brother D, Are you going to make up a LS Sammy (or paint up his speeder) to make your RW troops or do they just add FA support? Big armies are Big B) I like it. s Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/229004-wip-da-succesor/page/2/#findComment-2849377 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Droma Posted August 16, 2011 Author Share Posted August 16, 2011 I wanted to go really intense with highlights and accent colors or the whole force would look just way too dark with all that black. I know a couple people in this forum have much better looking DA overall but I for the time investment I think they came out pretty good and I've gotten a lot of comments about how good the force looks on the table top. For example the raider took me about 2-3 hours each to finish. I could do by the end a whole termie squad in a night. The nice thing is I just never really have to stop and wait for stuff to dry because I could just move on to painting a different section of the model then go back to the other sections once they dried. @Stobz I've got sammy on jetbike cleaned up for the most part but I just haven't tackled building him yet. I just really hate working with metal. I know his finecast version is supposed to be coming out in the next major finecast wave some I'm kind of waiting till then.

Bryan Blaire Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Droma, they are looking great! I like the stark highlights, they make them really stand out and the red detailing looks awesome! How much more do you have planned (go for a company, you know you want to :down:)?

Droma Posted August 16, 2011 Author Share Posted August 16, 2011 I probably will eventually. I'll need some more stable income first though lol. I'm playing the just finished college time to find a real job game atm so new purchases will be slow.

Candleshoes Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 That white is brilliant, it compliments everything. I think my favorite part is the back banner, great colours and great job on the Supreme Grand Master!

Droma Posted February 10, 2012 Author Share Posted February 10, 2012 Manager at my local GW liked my army so he asked if he could get some pics of it. Who knew a smart phone takes much better pictures than my digital camera? Azrael Belial Part of my army on the table top Don't forget to vote for what I paint next. Options are Sammy on jetbike, tactical squad, or dreadnought. So far we have 1 vote for Sammy from captain semper.

Brother Kovash Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Whoa, beautiful looking army! You've done the Legion proud, Brother Droma. I vote for the Dreadnought. I love Dreadnoughts!

JaM_TW Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Dread. You need (at least) one in your army... :huh: That one standing at the back, at the right (for us). Are you going to base the models with anything? Some dark kind of grit or something...?

Droma Posted February 10, 2012 Author Share Posted February 10, 2012 Are you going to base the models with anything? Some dark kind of grit or something...? Saving up for resin bases. Edit: That's two votes for a dreadnought so I'll be painting that next, pics in a couple days.

Droma Posted February 24, 2012 Author Share Posted February 24, 2012 I finished the dread a couple days after you guys finished voting but haven't gotten around to taking pictures until now. This guy isn't venerable so I decided not to make him super fancy. The next one will have more cool icons on it. I've also come up with a painted basing scheme that I wanted your guys feedback on. (Although I just got a new job so I can afford those resin bases now...grr) Since I'll have some increased income I'm not sure what I want to do with my force. I could buy some resin bases for all my guys, but I've been wanting to buy some predators and more speeders to get my force more competitive. I wish I knew when our new codex was coming out then it would make my decision a lot easier. As for what to paint I'll probably paint all my terminator bases after I hear feedback from you guys and follow that up with Sammy on his jetbike. Anyway thanks to everyone who's commented on my stuff.

Captain Semper Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 This Dreadnought c/c weapon is the coolest! Well done Droma! Regarding the bases for the termies, I think it a great idea and well executed. Forget the resin bases! Your alternative is great! Save the money for more minis! :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/229004-wip-da-succesor/page/2/#findComment-3000923 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Droma Posted February 25, 2012 Author Share Posted February 25, 2012 I knew I could count on you to pop into this thread eventually Captain S. That's actually a bad angle for the CC weapon on the dread it looks better from not directly in front, you have a hard time seeing the blending that close up and from that angle. As for the bases I agree with you for now, more models is probably the way to go with the money. However when I finish my collection I'll probably pick some up lol. Thinking about going to a tourney coming up in march though so I need to pick up two more speeders and two predators before then. Pics of fully based army next time I stop in the store and probably pics of the speeders/preds once I get them done.

Interrogator Stobz Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Seconded on the bases D, give your cool new Dread one the same too. That way they'll look wicked stomping everything in Zone Mortalis. Awesome army mate. s Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/229004-wip-da-succesor/page/2/#findComment-3000946 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Droma Posted April 20, 2012 Author Share Posted April 20, 2012 My deathwing is as complete as it's going to get until the new book comes out and I don't want to start slapping paint on power armor until I see what new rules we get. That being said I've decided to start a fallen army using the GK dex(boo I know). The list....(1500pts) HQ's Brotherhood Champion (using EC model+da bits) Coteaz Elites Purifiers (DA robed bodies+GK weapons/heads) Vindicare assasin Troops (PA equiped "sergeants" with the rest being inquisition stormtrooper models) Henchman -5x warrior acolytes, 5x carapace, 4x hotshot lasguns, power sword -razorback, extra armor, stormbolter Henchman -7x warrior acolytes, 6x carapace, power armor, 4x hotshot lasguns, 2x melta, boltgun, powerfist -chimera, dozer blade, heavy flamer, extra armor Henchman -7x warrior acolytes, 6x carapace, power armor, 4x hotshot lasguns, melta, plasmagun, boltgun, powerfist -chimera, dozer blade, heavy flamer, extra armor Henchman -7x warrior acolytes, 6x carapace, power armor, 4x hotshot lasguns, 2x plasmagun, boltgun, powerfist -chimera, dozer blade, heavy flamer, extra armor Heavy Support LR Crusader -multi-melta, extra armor 1499pts Fluff A former champion of the dark angels gathers a small group of fallen to himself and decides to take over the military of a world that is in the near edge of the halo stars. They transform the world into a new military stronghold trying to mirror what Caliban was like before the fall as they know the Dark Angels will be hunting them and they want to be ready this time. They keep a personal guard of the most battle hardened and dedicated of their soldiers and equip them in some of the best equipment available. Now they continue to expand their holdings and prepare for the inevitable day when they face their former brethren again. It will be a bloody day indeed when brother once again fights brother.
