elmo Posted April 5, 2013 Author Share Posted April 5, 2013 Here is the first wip of the next batch of 30K Dark Angels. These still need some detail work but the general idea is there. The Anvil Industries figures are a pleasure to work with The single head is an old one just so you can see what they will end up looking like. The plan is to have them complete by next weekend but we will see ;) http://i814.photobucket.com/albums/zz66/jonbrooks_photo/P4050001_zpsd0d82cc4.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaced Hulk Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Just bought a load of Anvil Industry's robed models for my Sword Bearers. Very impressed with both the quality of the sculpts and the customer service. Doubt I'll be able to do as much justice to them as you though!

Deathwing70 Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 I've been thinking about getting some aswell. These are the first painted ones I've seen so far and they look better than I expected actually. Any chance of a scale shot with a GW model? (though seeing as the head fits well, I'm guessing they'll hardly stand out) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmo Posted April 5, 2013 Author Share Posted April 5, 2013 (edited) give me 5 mins - I will do a side by side with one of the FW ones Edit... http://i814.photobucket.com/albums/zz66/jonbrooks_photo/P4050008_zpse01d8434.jpg http://i814.photobucket.com/albums/zz66/jonbrooks_photo/P4050007_zps30cb6410.jpg All 3 of the models are almost exactly the same height from boot sole to collar. I have stuck a mark III helmet on this time but it needs a little altering for a proper fit (the raised collar gets in the way). Hope this help :) Edited April 5, 2013 by Elmo9141 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EPK Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Oh nice! Robbed power-armor-like minis... if only I didn't have a crap ton of plastic to paint already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Immolator Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 I think they are worth it, a bit different mayhap but worth it! Thanks Elmo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffJedi Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 I have been dying to see them put together. Thinking about ordering some of my own. They look great so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmo Posted April 13, 2013 Author Share Posted April 13, 2013 This was a complete week of failure and lack of progress for me... For a start - serious head cold caused lack of motivation at the start of the week then... I had sprayed the arms and was into the second evening of painting them up when I noticed that the paint was coming off in my hands. Some person (me) had forgotton to clean the mold release agent off the resin! After washing with soapy water the paint still would not stick so I got fed up and threw them into a jar of surgical spirits overnight. They are being resprayed now! I am hoping for more progress this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeffJedi Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 What's the best way to clean the resin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interrogator Stobz Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 (edited) Petrol; dunk, shake, rinse in water, dry, paint., win. Don't do it after adding any plastic conversions or any greenstuffing work or you'll be redoing those bits Edited April 14, 2013 by Stobz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmo Posted April 15, 2013 Author Share Posted April 15, 2013 I've not tried petrol before. I normally use warm soapy water but this time I had to use surgical spirits/meths which is normally safe for plastic but resin should not be left in it too long or it turns into a Nurgle conversion. I use acetone (usually found in nail varnish remover) for metals but resin and plastic will vanish in this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
facmanpob Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 normal soapy water works fine for Scibor resin, interesting that it didn't do the trick on the Anvil minis......they do look cool though....have you seen the new Black Ops Exo Lords that they are doing now?....they are just awesome for Legion Recce troops!

elmo Posted April 19, 2013 Author Share Posted April 19, 2013 (edited) "These arn't the droids your looking for - move along - move along" Finished at last - after the delay last week I tried to pull out all the stops to get these done. Another twitchy moment was caused about 4 hours when I was rear ended by another car on the way home with them in the boot and thought that I would have resin shrapnel flying about but it all turned out ok. Only minor damage to the car - the models pulled through ok Anyway on to the photos... Group shot http://th04.deviantart.net/fs71/PRE/i/2013/109/9/c/horus_heresy_dark_angels_by_elmo9141-d6298f0.jpg Sgt and Chainsword marine The Chainsword/bolter guy is a combination of the DV RW Sgt torso, Anvil legs and RW extras sprue bolter. I think he turned out good http://th07.deviantart.net/fs70/PRE/i/2013/109/d/3/horus_heresy_dark_angels_by_elmo9141-d6298jn.jpg Special weapons http://th08.deviantart.net/fs70/PRE/i/2013/109/c/9/horus_heresy_dark_angels_by_elmo9141-d6298ob.jpg Standard Marines http://th07.deviantart.net/fs70/PRE/i/2013/109/b/2/horus_heresy_dark_angels_by_elmo9141-d6298sr.jpg http://th01.deviantart.net/fs70/PRE/i/2013/109/6/9/horus_heresy_dark_angels_by_elmo9141-d6298vo.jpg They are a real mix of different armour/powerpack and weapons types with bits from GW, FW and Anvil Industries. Very interesting to put together.... I have kept the squad markings off for now as I might go for them being veterans as the HH models progress - but, as you can see from the LH knee, they do belong to 4th Company.

Deathwing70 Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 looking good! I really like the kitbash of all the different parts from.. everywhere.. all the different model weapons etc really gives the squad a more unique veteran feel where each marine has been gifted with some sort of chapter treasure (it also feels like it's an old chapter that treasures and maintains it's old armory - as it should ;)).
