Koraath Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Well I was going to paint a 40k Dark Angels army but then I got distracted by Forge World(again) and have made myself a second pre-heresy army. Here's the army so far, it's almost complete (for now) just a couple of squads to go.

EPK Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Fantastic! The shoulder pad freehand really came out great. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/242306-for-luther/#findComment-2929350 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Semper Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 :) this is AWESOME! I like it on every level! The mixed armored squads, the way you've done the robes, the red Legion symbol, the excellent quality of your black - all very, very well made! Not to mention the shoulder pad details! And the "period" weapons! There is literally nothing I don't like about this force! Tell me how difficult was it to remove the Contemptor's chest eagle? Can't wait to see more!

Brother-Sergeant Bohemond Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 amazing. Love it all. Tell me, what did you use to make Luther?? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/242306-for-luther/#findComment-2929355 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koraath Posted November 22, 2011 Author Share Posted November 22, 2011 Thanks for the comments guys @Captain Semper: The chest eagle wasn't too bad to remove, I hacked most of it off with a hobby knife then smoothed it flat with some fine sand paper took about 10 mins. @Brother-Sergeant Bohemond: here's a pic of Luther unpainted http://i86.photobucket.com/albums/k104/peteriordan/374608_10150430900984534_515834533_10171482_1218191335_n.jpg the body is a plastic vet, the sword is from the terminator captain, the head is from a sanguinary guard and the backpack is a forge world heavy weapon backpack with the wings from two plastic dark angels symbols form the ravenwing frame glued back to back Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/242306-for-luther/#findComment-2929390 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interrogator Stobz Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 SOOOOOO GOOD!!!!!!!!!! Consider that backpack idea stolen, what a fantastic army Koraath, I hope we can see more. BTW, what do you highlight your black edges with? It looks like two shades of grey, if so which ones?

Koraath Posted November 22, 2011 Author Share Posted November 22, 2011 @Brother-Sergeant Bohemond: At the moment there's 4 honour guards to go with the company champion, a scout squad, a second contemptor and a IIB land raider (This is until I can afford a proteus or two) @Stobz: The black is highlighted with 50/50 chaos black/codex grey then with pure codex grey Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/242306-for-luther/#findComment-2929448 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gillyfish Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Superb! Crisp and clean painting style and they hold together really well. I particularly like the librarian - hunched over and pale the way you imagine he might be - sinister.

Koraath Posted November 30, 2011 Author Share Posted November 30, 2011 So after an awesome weekend at warhammer world I came away with a bunch of game losses and a Best Army Nomination for these guys, which I'm really pleased about. Any way here are some pics of the army as they were on display and hopefully I'll be able to take some close up pictures later this week http://i86.photobucket.com/albums/k104/peteriordan/DSCN0110.jpg http://i86.photobucket.com/albums/k104/peteriordan/DSCN0111.jpg http://i86.photobucket.com/albums/k104/peteriordan/DSCN0112.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/242306-for-luther/#findComment-2934544 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dorns Padawan Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 One of the best DA armies I have ever seen mate, painting is so smooth & the highlights very delicate & sweet.

krewl Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Beautifull army indeed, but I muist say after getting used to the ravenwing wings on bikes your seem a bit bland (Not meant too negative here, there are very well done), they just seem to miss some eye candy or differentiating colour. Any chance you could do a step by step ofd a face when you do them cause I love how characterful they turned out and I'd like to try to copy that.
