Sorry about being late on the comment, just want to say that I absolutely love the metal coloured shoulder rims on your sargeant, top notch idea. Great mix of light through dark on each of them and a great addition to an already stunning army.

 

Keep up the good work.

Stobz and Semper want to make me suicide for not completing my own unforgiven forces.

 

Garrrrrgh.Did i tell how much i hate you both?No ofc i dont,i love you.

 

Great job stobz those look awesome as ever.

Could be worse, you could be an Iron Hands fan <_<

 

Thanks for the props

Question about your Venerable Dreadnought, Stobz. Did the plasma cannon arm come with the Dark Angels icon on it, or did you add that separately?

 

It's one of the DA icons from FW. Great little kit.

Stobz, the latest look awesome! Can't wait to see your take on the jump pack Chaplain (I have one sitting in my painting line)! I think if you can get Isiah's Crozius swapped to a DA specific one, that will be great!

 

While true, the bionic hand and eye enhancement might aid in painting. :huh:

I know they'd aid me! Sign me up! :D

Absolutely great work Stobz, you've inspired me to get my arse in gear and finish off my greenwing lining up my paint desk.

I love your GW, especially Sgt. Ignate's squad, very nice highlighting!

 

Your Powerfists and Lightning claws are ace as well

 

methinks I need to steal your DW look ;)

Thanks again brothers, I've been a bit to busy IRL to pick up a brush seriously for the last couple of weeks ;) but I have managed to find time to correct the 'finecast' mold errors and basecoat Chaplain 'Isiah'.

 

Tengo, I'm glad you like that squad, I have updated all my other GW squads to the 'new' look and now they match Ignates highlighting scheme, my DW may get an updated weapon scheme too but I'm in two minds about that.

I have taken some updated pics of the GW but am working away from home for a week and can't post them until I return xmas eve (Chaplain 'Isiah' is with me and I may get time to paint him in the motel at night, work dependant ;)).

Get stuck in and steal away, that's the beauty of these forums, heaps of ideas to share.

Edit; Sorry Tengo, I misread/misunderstood your post, you like Ignate and the old scheme, bugger :P Either way though I've repainted all my greenwing power weapons, plasma weapons and melta guns to look like the 'new' Sgt Luketh and his 5th Sqd scheme. Pics to follow as mentioned.

'Ere it is, the day before xmas and all through my house, distractions are happening, even a mouse.

 

I didn't get the Company Chaplain finished in time, he's about half done so no pressure :jaw: I'd rather do him well than rush him.

 

All the same here is a MONTAGE of the 3rd Company so far with updated weapon pics:

I know razorspam is frowned upon on the 'interwebz' so please remember I've had most of these models since late 3rd early 4th Ed ;).

 

I guess the log will continue to roll into the new year, thanks for the support to everyone during this project, have a great and safe festive season.

Edit:Also, I apologize for the focus in some of the pics, I may one day get that sorted. New camera tomorrow? Unlikely :P

It's pics like these that make me think of putting up pictures of my own Dark Angels. My painting skill isn't nearly up to Stobz's standard (i've only just started using inks after 13 years) but maybe it'd be a good opportunity to get some feedback and advice on additional techniques i could use. Stobz, your models are amazing though mate, great job.

Stobz, this made my Christmas Eve! They look great and more so when you see them all together!

 

Difficult question: what happened to the second squad? Think of something gruesome, please!

 

 

On a more serious note, given that real life has taken it's toll on my drive to complete my stuff, your thread is a solid source of inspiration. Keep it up!

Thanks again guys, gotta love a montage :P It's already xmas morning here so merry xmas to all, I'd better be quick or the family will start throwing wrapping paper at me.

 

Mr M; rejoin the DA, you know you want to

 

Isiah; thanks again for your support and advice.

 

Shortysl; we'd love to see your pics here, if we can help with techniques then don't be shy to ask. I'm no master but I've got a few tricks that might help, if not others here are brilliant at other styles that may suit you.

I've picked up half a dozen new techniques just for this project alone, posting my pics is a way to keep learning (you can't hide poor paintwork in a blown up pic ;) )and the cool comments keep me motivated.

 

Bevulf; thanks again for you kind words and thanks for getting some new pics up for me to be jealous of, great inspiration.

I give myself until around the beginning of March to have the whole Company finished(all going well in RL).

 

Brother I; I'm glad you like him, much 'darker' imho.

 

E_E; Sounds like you are a bit of a tread head at heart too :tu: As to the recipe :blush: it's the easiest thing really, Black undercoat, DA green all over, 50/50 Black Ink(OOP)/Water over everything, drybrush chainmail over everything(REALLY finely), chainmail highlights and occasional scratches/damage. Simple, won't win prizes but it gets the job done.

I did my dreads the same except I highlighted them green prior to the chainmail drybrush stage, so they look a little more like the infantry.

 

Captain S; haha no gruesome tale of woe for the second squad, they are on my painting table being (re)constructed into a sternguard yet DA dex compliant looking vet squad, I'm going to start painting them as soon as I knock over the Chappy. Squads 6 and 8 will follow them.

 

After that, who knows RW probably, I'm still waiting for GW or FW to make some robed DW torsos and legs :unsure: I may have to keep playing my DW in a semi finished state for some time ;)

 

I'm off, family duties.

 

take care

Stobz, dammit, stop posting up awesome stuff! Now you've given me more ideas of things I need to do on my guys! Jeez!

 

Seriously though, you're squads are lookin' outstanding! You've done a great job! (I've also stolen all your photos to examine for ideas!)

 

Merry Christmas to you and yours!!! Have fun with the wrapping paper wars!
