Angels_Blade Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 OK so project after project seems to be falling by the wayside but finally, FINALLY I'm getting to make the true scale force I've always wanted. Here's the plan Master of the 5th (Orias I think) Command Squad Razorback 10 x Tactical 10 x Tactical 5 x Assault 5 X Deathwing Dreadnought All will be truescaled although I'm just using a Contemptor for the Dread. Here are my first 5 efforts http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o138/mustanguk/9.jpg http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o138/mustanguk/8.jpg http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o138/mustanguk/7.jpg http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o138/mustanguk/6.jpg http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o138/mustanguk/5.jpg http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o138/mustanguk/4.jpg http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o138/mustanguk/2.jpg http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o138/mustanguk/1.jpg And finally a scale shot http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o138/mustanguk/true_dangel10.jpg I'm really pleased with them so far, They have been painted using the new GW paints and I'm pretty pleased with the effect. I'm working hard on the other 5 from this squad and Master Orias himself. C&C Welcome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rifter72 Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Beautiful work, I'm impressed. Can't wait to see more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dosjetka Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Well, as all of your projects, this one does not disappoint! Your True-Scale Marines are very nice. The robes are well sculpted and you've got them all bulked up quite well :lol: Looking forward to seeing progress! Ludovic Edit: The only thing I find a bit strange, is the fact that the first Astartes looks like his armour is darker than the rest. Was that what you wanted?

Grotsmasha Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Awesome, those Chapter House look pretty good all painted up. Nice job all round, I can't wait to see the rest. Cheers, Jono Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angels_Blade Posted May 1, 2012 Author Share Posted May 1, 2012 Thanks Guys, The colour issue is an artificial one created by my lack of photography skills. Something to do with the robes darkening the armour. Honest ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyrox Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 So did you follow their paint scheme too? They look awesome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagicMan Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Wow dude, putting the truescale thing aside these are just beautiful DA. Love the character that each individual has. Especially love the Sergeant, his chainsword is awesome! The fact that these are truescale just makes them that little bit better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KJB Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 So did you follow their paint scheme too? They look awesome Seconded, how did you do the green? The one thing that put me off starting DA was I couldn't get the green right - yours looks superb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagicMan Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Quick Question, how did you do the bases? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angels_Blade Posted May 1, 2012 Author Share Posted May 1, 2012 Wow thank you one and all. They are indeed the ones from Worthy Painting as I am Ben! They are a mixture of the chapterhouse and now sadly retired warsmith kit. The green was really simple and a new reciepe for me - Start with an Army Painter Green base coat and wash the entire model with Nuln Oil. Paint the large areas pads, knees etc with Caliban green. Highlights are Warpstone glow followed by moot green. The base is Astrogranite washed with Nuln Oil and drybrushed with fortress grey (Still using the old paints too!) Attach a a self adhesive grass tuft and drybrush the whole base and lower legs with MiG powder ( I used Panzer Grey) to creat a dusty effect. I plan to do the other 5 from this squad over the weekend so expect picture updates regulary. If you'd like a step by step on the green or the base let me know Cheers AB (Ben) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subtle Discord Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Yes! That's what Dark Angles Green should look like. They've got that eery glowing effect I tend to like. Top notch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagicMan Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Ah so the bases are the new textured paint? I just wondered how you got such a low surface. Usually glued on sand sticks up quite a bit higher than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gawain Veteris Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Very interested to see more, Angels_Blade. The start you've made here is excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SincaiN Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Very nice work .. they look very clean and it's hard to tell there are any changes until you see them next to a normal scale marine .. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KJB Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Cheers for that, is Army Painter green similar to Caliban Green? Was thinking of doing a Caliban Green base, Nuln Oil wash followed by a layer of Caliban Green again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hexagon Sun Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 These look awesome, really good job there. Look forward to seeing more. Keith, Angels green is identical to the old DA green so it's quite different to caliban green. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrannicide Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Your painting seems to have really improved since the last time I saw your work. Not that it was anything shabby to begin with. I'm really liking the green, and the robes on the first Marine look fantastic. Keep it up! A tabletop covered in these Angels would look stunning. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
