My own little corner of Angels

[stuka06]

Alright, my Terminators are basicly done. I have to touch up some little stuff, but by now, the biggest part is the Land Raider.

 

Here's a picture of my Squad. I will post close-ups later, but for now social life calls!

Playoff time is painting time!

 

Over the last few weekends I worked on the Assault Squad I started a couple months back for my Redemption.

 

It's the first time I actually painted a whole squad at the same time. I also tried to use some new stuff, like proper eye lenses and Highlighting the Weapons. Usually minor stuff, but I think it adds up. I will continue to experiment with my 2013 Vow.

So, it's been quite a while since I last posted something and there's a reason for that. I haven't painted anything since then.

 

But, a friend of mine got me back into 40k, curse him, so my old projects have been resurrected.

 

My main issue by now is, that I have not used the new citadel paints. I asked in the Dark Angels forum for some pointers with new colors.

I still need to try out the Army Painter Angels Green.

 

Here are some test minis.

Marine 1: that is my main color scheme. I really like the lighter, stronger green. Dark Angels Green with Snot green

Marine 2: Cailiban Green basecoat, 2 highlights with Caliban Green + Warboss Green (LGS didn't have Warpstone Glow) and then 2 wash layers of Vallejo Dark Green.

Marine 3: Caliban Green basecoat with highlighting of Caliban Green +  Snot Green 

Marine 4: Vallejo Dark Green basecoat, Vallejo Dark Green + Warboss Green highlight. These colors did not mix well.

 

I am gravitating towards Marine 2, although I still have to try out more color mixes, so I took some more pictures of 1 & 2

Then I also tried out something new with my robes

Marine 1: The old way. Codes Grey, Fortress Grey, Skull Grey

Marine 2: Vallejo Cold Grey, Agrax Earthshade,  Vallejo Stonewall Grey, Vallejo Dead White

Marine 3 + 4: Vallejo Stonewall Grey, Agrax Earthshade, Vallejo Stonewall Grey, Vallejo Dead White

 

I have to say, I kinda like Marine 2. But I'm not sure, if the brown isn't too strong.

What are you guys thinking. I know this is a long post about hypotheticals, but I really have to get the color scheme right, before kinda ruining something like a dreadnought, which I totally haven't done because I didn't test the new paints....promise...

Alright, time to resurrect this topic.

 

I recently finished my first vow for ETL

Now, I'm working in my second vow

And I just finished these three. They are the prototypes for my veterans and robes going forward.
