Restart of My Dark Angel Army & maybe the occasional BA!

[Burias-Drak'shal]

Ive had some dark angel models sitting around for ages, but there always seemed something distracting me! However I recently saw some dark angels models on youtube that spurred me on to get mine finished! New Year new painting project! This is alsofirst time I have used vallejo paints, and so far I have been very happy with the results up to now!

 

Im intending to make a large proportion of deathwing, some ravenwing, and some 3rd company marines! Ive only started on the deathwing and 3rd company marines, but have the ravenwing undercoated and ready to go!

 

His some of my progress on the deathwing. Look forward to hearing your comments!

Looking good you have a nice start there.

I like the green that you put on the veterans. What colors did you use.

[Burias-Drak'shal]

Thanks!

 

Its just vallejo dark green over a grey undercoat. Then a wash of badab black and then the dark green again just to leave the wash showing in the recesses.

I prefer this green to the GW dark angels green as that always seemed to have a semi glossy look to it!

 

The robe at the moment is just vallejo earth. Im thinking of doing a 50:50 mix of Vallejo earth & buff, and then pure vallejo buff, and possibly white as an hightlight. But not sure if the white would standout to much. Any ideas?

Heres the beginnings of my ravenwing contingent with standard & apothcary. Sammael is not in the pic, but is also undercoated.

Im thinking of going for 70: 30 Chaos black/codex grey. Then washing the models with sorched brown and then 50:50 of the chaos black & codex grey! Finally highlighting with fortress grey or its vallejo version.

 

The characters that I have to paint. Unfortunatley undercoated before my change to the grey primer.

This is the remnants of what I did previously! The robes are okay just need some shading & highlighting, but I will need to update the armour to the vallejo green that im using!

Currently building 15 assault marines, and 15 tactical marines (5 to go with a dev squad to bring it up to 10). Hopefully have some updates on the painting front shortly!

i definitely agree with you about the DAG. To me it looks so boring and from far away almost black

Ive still been doing more DA but have been working on some Blood angels as well. Especially now i can use them as allies if need be! My two favourite armies together, the same way as i first saw them in the very old joint DA& BA codex!
