Iacton Qruze Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 A few months ago, I started up on an army commission for a local player, in an effort to drum up the cash for my trip to Games Day Chicago 2012. At this point I have a decent backlog of photos, as I'm about 1800 points into what will in the end be about 3000 points of Angels Sanguine. It's all tabletop quality, aside from the characters, which are pretty high tabletop, though not quite something I'd want to enter in a painting competition. Anyway, I'll start with the completed characters so far, Astorath and Mephiston - there's still a Reclusiarch and a Librarian to paint before the end. ;) http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2011/12/8/302762_sm-Angels%20Sanguine,%20Astorath%20The%20Grim,%20Blood%20Angels,%20Space%20Marines.JPG http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2011/12/8/302764_sm-Angels%20Sanguine,%20Astorath%20The%20Grim,%20Blood%20Angels,%20Space%20Marines.JPG http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2011/12/8/302763_sm-Angels%20Sanguine,%20Astorath%20The%20Grim,%20Blood%20Angels,%20Space%20Marines.JPG http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2011/12/8/302765_sm-Angels%20Sanguine,%20Astorath%20The%20Grim,%20Blood%20Angels,%20Space%20Marines.JPG And a top down view, which gives a more accurate tone to the colors (though the photos still washed out the depth of the red... I gotta work on my photography skills.) http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2011/12/8/302766_sm-Angels%20Sanguine,%20Astorath%20The%20Grim,%20Blood%20Angels,%20Space%20Marines.JPG http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2011/12/19/306694_sm-Angels%20Sanguine,%20Blood%20Angels,%20Space%20Marines.jpg http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2011/12/19/306696_sm-Angels%20Sanguine,%20Blood%20Angels,%20Space%20Marines.jpg http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2011/12/19/306695_sm-Angels%20Sanguine,%20Blood%20Angels,%20Space%20Marines.jpg Mephiston was actually the second piece I painted for the army. At the time, the client and I were still working out the tone of the army, which is why he ended up brighter than Astorath (and the rest of the army). More in the next post!

Iacton Qruze Posted December 19, 2011 Author Share Posted December 19, 2011 Next up, I've got some Elite units - two 1st co. Terminator Assault Squads, the 2nd and the 7th respectively, as well as a Dreadnought from 3rd co. (the client's chosen company, before the list became heavily saturated with scouts from 10th co.) http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2011/12/19/306701_sm-Angels%20Sanguine,%20Blood%20Angels,%20Space%20Marines.jpg http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2011/12/19/306702_sm-Angels%20Sanguine,%20Blood%20Angels,%20Space%20Marines.jpg http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2011/12/19/306703_sm-Angels%20Sanguine,%20Blood%20Angels,%20Space%20Marines.jpg http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2011/12/19/306704_sm-Angels%20Sanguine,%20Blood%20Angels,%20Space%20Marines.jpg http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2011/12/19/306705_sm-Angels%20Sanguine,%20Blood%20Angels,%20Space%20Marines.jpg http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2011/12/19/306706_sm-Angels%20Sanguine,%20Blood%20Angels,%20Space%20Marines.jpg We've tried to limit the number of helmetless marines in the army, due to fluff reasons, though a few are about. The biggest offender is the scouts, but we found a solution that you'll see in a future post. http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2011/12/19/306693_sm-Angels%20Sanguine,%20Blood%20Angels,%20Space%20Marines.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iacton Qruze Posted December 19, 2011 Author Share Posted December 19, 2011 The last post for now, I've got a pair of Baal Predators, a Storm Raven, and an Assault Squad. The Preds and Raven are all magnetized, so the client can outfit each with any weapon loadout he wants. http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2011/12/19/306691_sm-Angels%20Sanguine,%20Blood%20Angels,%20Space%20Marines.jpg http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2011/12/19/306692_sm-Angels%20Sanguine,%20Blood%20Angels,%20Space%20Marines.jpg http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2011/12/19/306697_sm-Angels%20Sanguine,%20Blood%20Angels,%20Space%20Marines.jpg http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2011/12/19/306698_sm-Angels%20Sanguine,%20Blood%20Angels,%20Space%20Marines.jpg http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2011/12/19/306699_sm-Angels%20Sanguine,%20Blood%20Angels,%20Space%20Marines.jpg http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2011/12/19/306700_sm-Angels%20Sanguine,%20Blood%20Angels,%20Space%20Marines.jpg http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2011/12/19/306688_sm-Angels%20Sanguine,%20Blood%20Angels,%20Space%20Marines.jpg http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2011/12/19/306689_sm-Angels%20Sanguine,%20Blood%20Angels,%20Space%20Marines.jpg http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2011/12/19/306690_sm-Angels%20Sanguine,%20Blood%20Angels,%20Space%20Marines.jpg I'm currently working on the Death Company elements of the army- A Reclusiarch, 7 Death Co. Marines, a Death Co. Dreadnought and a second Storm Raven to carry them all around the battlefield. More pics to come! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midnightmare Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Excellent work here! Client is most impressed, I bet. Nice red you have going on, very dark and brooding as befits the AS character; and I think I have stolen the idea for the stripes on the 'Raven. The only thing I would say (baring in mind these far surpass anything I could ever, ever muster!) is Mephiston's eyebrows are a bit, erm, big? I look forward to more :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olis Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Very nicely done, IQ. Decent OSL and weathering there and a nice deep tone for the army. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iacton Qruze Posted January 7, 2012 Author Share Posted January 7, 2012 Death Company is finished. The Storm Raven is magnetized, though the time constraint of turning all this around in 2 weeks left me needing to paint the extra weaponry later. Anyway, pics! http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2012/1/6/312705_sm-DC%20Dread%201.JPG http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2012/1/6/312707_sm-Death%20Company%201.JPG http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2012/1/6/312708_sm-Death%20Company%202.JPG http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2012/1/6/312711_sm-DC%20Storm%20Raven%201.JPG http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2012/1/6/312710_sm-DC%20Storm%20Raven%203.JPG http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2012/1/6/312709_sm-DC%20Storm%20Raven%202.JPG I'm coming up on the home stretch for the army; Just need to finish the Reclusiarch, and then I've got a Librarian, 1 Sanguinary Priest and 20 Scouts to finish out the force.

Midnightmare Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 He looks excellent, exactly how I like them with the weathering. Thumbs up. How did you paint the blue, if you don't mind me asking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AGPO Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Awesome army, as an Angels Sanguine player myslef I may be biased but I think it's the coolest Marine colour scheme going. I'm guessing you used transfers for the chapter symbol, would you mind telling me where they're from? Also are you giving the scouts helmets and going with the 'no bare faces' fluff or not? If so, what are you planning on using? Cheers, AGPO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did you paint the blue, if you don't mind me asking? Thanks! I used three colors, wet-on-wet blended. my deep color is Necron Abyss, midtone is GFA Cerulean Blue Deep, and VMA White mixed with the midtone 2:1 for my highlight. Awesome army, as an Angels Sanguine player myslef I may be biased but I think it's the coolest Marine colour scheme going. I'm guessing you used transfers for the chapter symbol, would you mind telling me where they're from? Also are you giving the scouts helmets and going with the 'no bare faces' fluff or not? If so, what are you planning on using? Cheers, AGPO Thank you, I agree they are one of the cooler chapters out there (I'm a Space Wolf player, myself) All the skulls are transfers from the standard transfer sheets than come in SM squad and vehicle kits. The white wings, squad markings and numerals come from the same sheets. The red wings and the librarium skull on the Librarian are all just freehanded. For the sniper scouts, we're just using the standard goggled heads; We've kept the helmets on pretty much everywhere else, so a few scouts with abnormally pale skin shouldn't be too bad. For the regular scouts, the client requested these. I think they'll turn out pretty well. Initially, we were planning some Kasrkin style heads, but getting enough of them in short order proved difficult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crynn Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. Simple, clean, lovely weathering and battle damage, exactly what I look for in painting over an entire army. GReat job mate. Regards, Crynn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biohazard Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Really like your style I followed your SW Dred blog feverishly. These guys look great for a tabletop force and I really like the Librarian conversion. Ive always had a soft spot for the AS as when I first joined these boards a guy called OwlMoonGuy was building some of the best AS Ive ever seen.
