Alys Dwr Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/wnt/blog...pid=2200032-gws A link to todays blog and it has some pics of DA painted with the new colours. I would assume this is also done with the recipe on their website. What do we think? I've captured a still of the tactical marines for folks to have a gander here: http://i92.photobucket.com/albums/l39/bonsai-al/newdangles.jpg In all honesty they don't look too bad to me. I'd preffer some better illumination though, just to get a better idea of the colour.

Kurgan the Lurker Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Liche Purple is a rehash of an old paint (at least the name) from the original paint line.

EPK Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 If that photo is following the painting guide link earlier, it appears to be pretty much: Caliban Green Base Warpstone Highlight Moot Green Hightlight Perhaps with the Biel-tan Green wash in there. I'm not sure if it even looks like Underhive Ash is in there - though I suppose if he used the glaze, it could turn it more of a green hue. Of course it could just be the photo. I'd guess the sheen from on the shoulder is from a gloss varnish - and it was only applied to help prevent silvering on the transfers (you can see how dull the studded pad is). I wonder if the Waywatcher glaze was used? I've never used an actual glaze, only washes... could that add a sheen to make up for our lost DA Green?

ac4155 Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 I hope the cover of this box is not hinting at GW painting bases Brown in the next edition.

Edit: hmm, looking on their website it seems like they have been doing this for a while now. Well I'll be damned. Cell 42 is reserved for the damned, please report there immediately. I guess I'd better say something OT; the green on the marines look quite nice, I'm not sure why he glossed the pads though, maybe due to the transfers. I prefer the matte of the other bitz. s Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/249569-new-paints-new-takes-on-dark-angels/page/3/#findComment-3027640 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: hmm, looking on their website it seems like they have been doing this for a while now. Well I'll be damned. Do you simply leave them unpainted black? I've painted them Khermi.... errrr... Baneblade.... brown since I started. I'm not sure why he glossed the pads though, maybe due to the transfers. I prefer the matte of the other bitz. I'm thinking that is exactly why, or else you figure he would have varnished the studded pad on the helmeted marine front and center. Many would tell you to do so (to prevent silvering), but I'm lazy and the scant few transfers I've put on, I did no such thing for. Another good reason to either use detailed pads, or simply paint on them I suppose.

Alys Dwr Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 The shiny pads got me scratching my head too. The description for Lahmian Medium states "also pretty handy for sealing a transfer to a miniature, providing a smooth matte finish" - why would the painter not just use this? Surely all the folks working for GW have access to all of the new paints for a bit of experimentation. Just noticed that the ravenwing models don't have shiny shoulders: http://i92.photobucket.com/albums/l39/bonsai-al/newravenwing.jpg They look pretty good though.

Brother dean Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 The only question I have is should I buy the paintset or wait for the big box since I am going to get the big box anyway. (I only NEED 5 more tac marines.)

Hexagon Sun Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Kind of wish i'd painted something other than a tactical squad for the LPC now since it's a new army... I'm just going to wait for the new paints and start from there I think. Still caliban green looks a bit darker than DA green which I do like.

Lord Tharand Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 The color from those images looks like it comes out roughly the same. I'm going to pick up a set of their recommended Dark Angels colors and experiment. With all the DA stuff popping up in GWs materials lately you do wonder if we're getting a new codex sooner rather than later.

Hexagon Sun Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 I was in my local GW last night whilst my other half was shopping. Had a go with caliban green on a marine over a black undercoat and the colour is actually quite nice. It's definitely somewhere between DA green and orkhide shade but as commented previously it's not glossy. It's got a very dull matt finish which is where I presume the glaze comes in later. I tried the beil tan green shade and it didn't seem to do much, perhaps not dark enough to shade the green effectively. I think I'll continue to black line. They had the glaze there too but because I didn't have any colours to highlight with I didn't bother using it. I was going to see if I can get a photo later on as a comparison to DA green. Overall though I think it will give a nice dark green and the coverage is good too.

Brother Kovash Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 I've got quite a few paint pots left over from before, so I'll be using those for the foreseeable future. However, if I start painting one of my cursed Xenos armies soon, I might give some of these paints a shot. Maybe get a friend to purchase a few first, before I test them out. :tu: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/249569-new-paints-new-takes-on-dark-angels/page/3/#findComment-3029054 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother-Sergeant Bohemond Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Interstingly, browsing the GW website, noticed this, look at the DA in the picture, this is the page for the National Hero Painting Competition. I found this interesting, yet another Dark Angel being a 'poster boy'. just thought I would throw it out there.

shabbadoo Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 The Tactical Squad looks good. I will probably try out the new GW paint range Dark Angels recipe, thought it is not likely easier than the method I use now. The resulting color is what I am interested in, and that is something that a pic won't really show you. You have to see the result in person to verify that it is what you want. Also, I think those are the Forgeworld Dark Angels decals on those Tactical Marines, not the standard GW Dark Angels decals.

lhg033 Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 I'm just looking to get back into some painting and, even though i will likely restart with the flesh tearers i was last working on, i have ravenwing, deathwing and 3rd company armies to finish. i won't be running out to buy the mega paint set any time soon but i may buy the DA suggested colours and a few washes on top of the ones i'm getting for my current project - it'll be interesting to see if older models can blend in with newer painted ones and/or whether a was on the older models will help this. also - has anyone else notice the picture building up on the spine of the current and last two white dwarfs? Dark angel with plasma or Cipher? more hints to Dark angels and potentially chaos neing the next big thing to be released Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/249569-new-paints-new-takes-on-dark-angels/page/3/#findComment-3030541 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Immolator Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 So i have to ask.Now that the DA paint is no longer the same,and my pots are running dry,is there a Vallejo (preferably)or other equivalent?Or do we need to mix and to hope for consistency?
