winterdyne Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 First squad of three done. Damn decals took FOREVER to set properly. I still see the odd crinkle. By comparison I freehanded the skulls on the kneepads in about 25 minutes. http://www.winterdyne.co.uk/maz/images/commissions/victor/bloodangels/assault1_1_done.jpg http://www.winterdyne.co.uk/maz/images/commissions/victor/bloodangels/assault1_2_done.jpg http://www.winterdyne.co.uk/maz/images/commissions/victor/bloodangels/assault1_3_done.jpg http://www.winterdyne.co.uk/maz/images/commissions/victor/bloodangels/assault1_4_done.jpg http://www.winterdyne.co.uk/maz/images/commissions/victor/bloodangels/assault1_sgt_done.jpg http://www.winterdyne.co.uk/maz/images/commissions/victor/bloodangels/assault1_all_done.jpg The skull kneepad indicates 1st squad, which is normally Tactical. I hope the client doesn't mind, as I think it looks good. Otherwise I'll repaint appropriately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ancient god Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Fantastic work, loving the more sombre red. All the details are great, too, hope your client order more of them so we can have a look! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winterdyne Posted February 10, 2012 Author Share Posted February 10, 2012 The images above have been replaced post varnish. :-) Literally, the best matt I've ever used. Soooo happy. Windsor & Newton Galleria Matt Varnish. Yum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Castellan Alaric Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 my friend, the effects on the sarge's plasma pistol and power sword are phenomenal. well done sir. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ancient god Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Hey, where did you pick up the varnish? It looks great and I'm coming over to Nottingham in two weeks, so I'd like to get a can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winterdyne Posted February 11, 2012 Author Share Posted February 11, 2012 I got it at 'The Range', but most art stores should carry it. It's a bottle, not a can. I like stuff I can airbrush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Sheol Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Not to be harsh but Who is the sergeant??? The sergeants of the BA have inverted shoulder pads colors, black with red trimmings instead of red with black trimmings)... I guess the sergeant is the guy with plasma pistol but having assault squads the option of plasma pistols for regular troopers there is nothing that shows the rank on the sergeant apart some spikes on his helmet... This is a GREAT painting job but it's ruined by this pair of few errors that makes the squad incomplete... Pity... Edit: i see now that ONE shopulder pad have the inverted color... this is correct but both shoulder pads should be inverted... And i would repaint the kneepads with assault squad marking (the lightning...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KJB Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Beautiful work as always, and it's so nice to see Blood Angels that aren't blinged up to the high heavens with every piece from the Death Company box being used as well! Once again, cracking work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: i see now that ONE shopulder pad have the inverted color... this is correct but both shoulder pads should be inverted... And i would repaint the kneepads with assault squad marking (the lightning...) 5th company inversion would remove the company mark from the pad, or require that it change colour to red. So it wasn't done. There are 3 assault squads in the force, each led by a sergeant. Standard Codex Astartes indicates only 2 per battle company. The third would have to be drawn from a different company, or be a re-tasked Tactical squad. In short, yeah, that's a mistake, but the client doesn't care, and neither do I particularly. :-) The other 2 squads will be correctly marked.

seayeo Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Not to be harsh but Who is the sergeant??? Not be harsh, but if you can't figure out it's the dude with the power weapon ..... 99.9% of players either don't know or don't care about inverted shoulder pad colors for BA sergeants. Paint job is fantastic. Really like the bases and subtle use of battle damage. Gently suggest to your client that not taking a meltagun for every 5 ASM is really stupid idea.

ancient god Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Thanks for the heads-up! I'll make sure to head over to the Range once I've got the move over sorted. Concerning the atypical sergeant markings - I think I've seen 5th/9th company sergeants with slim white rims around the drops, that worked well.

Brother Perun Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 fantastic! :) can you please tell me how did you paint yellow? ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winterdyne Posted February 15, 2012 Author Share Posted February 15, 2012 The helmets are iyanden darksun, sepia wash, VMC Flat Yellow, VMC Light Yellow edges, VMC Ice Yellow extremes. No mixes, just layering. The sergeant's chapter icon is a yellow decal, sepia wash to knock it back a bit, then VMC Flat Yellow and Light Yellow to highlight. Yellow decals on black (unless white-backed when printed) look awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
