Wraithwing's (new) Dark Angels

Recommended Posts

Just one brief update this evening. Here's where I'm at with my first Deathwing miniature in a good 5 years:

He's not quite done yet, but hope to have him finished soon.

Also, look what I managed to pick up from eBay, new and unopened/unused:

I shall be using that bad boy on my next squad of Tactical Marines!

That is a great find, but you should check out The Army Painter Color Primers. I just recently found them and I can't tell the difference from Angel Green and Dark Angel Green. And from the few times I've used them they apply really nicely as well.

WW, did you base the bleached bone onto the terminator with an airbrush? Was that bleached bone from citadel, or someone else's color? And did you thin it out? Looks awesome, as usual.

I used to have the same can of DA green - only the short version... The shade of green is great BUT since it's fairly old can, make sure the top is correctly attached to the spray mechanism - if not, green might spray everywhere (including clothes, walls and of course drop on the minis in a less than gentle way...). Just do a test in a safe environment...

I haven't made a massive amounts of progress on my Dark Angels this month. My desire to paint up a new army DA is still very strong, and with the Codex just around the corner, it's getting stronger. However, RL issues have conspired to keep me from painting as much as I would like.

That said, my November vow, the DV Deathwing Terminators, are now complete:

It's took me a while to get these done, most of the month in fact. I'm looking forward to moving onto a new unit, either the start of the second Tactical Squad, or a Command Squad.

++EDIT++

I've just noticed the CSM helmet on the base of the Sergeant hasn't been done... *grumble grumble*

Cheers,

WW

Another nice squad done WW.

 

What you got planned for December?

 

Thanks Arkley.

 

Not sure on December's vow yet.

 

Seeing as the rumours point to three new DA box sets, I'll probably paint up the second DV Tactical Squad, and the DV Ravenwing Bikes.

 

That should tide me over to January, and then see what get's released.

 

I can almost guarantee I'll be picking up the new Belial.

 

Cheers,

Thanks for all the positive comments guys!

 

so i notice that you use those really dark washes in the recesses, i like it. whats the recipe there? and is it the same over all the models surface (eg arms vs legs).

 

For Deathwing, I prime white, basecoat in Zandri Dust, wash the entire miniature in Devlan Mud, rebase with Zandri, leaving the Devlan Mud in the recesses, then build up with Ushtabi Bone, Screaming Skull and White Scar.

 

I did take some step by step pics of the process, so if you want me to post them, let me know.

 

Cheers,

Arise thread, arise!

 

Just to kick things off after a couple of months off, here's Belial so far. Still quite a bit of work to do, banner and shoulder/guard are taced on. Waiting on bits orders for other arm, sword and cape.

Also, made progress on my December vow... *shame*

 

Pics later.

Very nice Wraithwing. Are you using the large sword from that kit or something else? It's kind of a shame that the Deathwing kit makes much better Belial models than the official one.

 

I've got the large Blade of Caliban part from the Ravenwing Command set on order for the sword. It's got a lovely watcher in the dark cross guard at the hilt, which should look suitably epic. Combined with the flail arm from the DW Knight Master, and he should have a slightly more dynamic pose than just using the sergeants sword and arm.

 

Going to do some GS work on the banner, and replace the banner top with a DW symbol also. Then add the cape and shoulder pads and we're good to go.

 

Only thing that vexes me is he's missing a bunch of keys. Should be able to shave the set of the DE sergeants sword though and add it elsewhere about his person.

 

Cheers,

 

WW

Right, time for another, much needed update. 

 

I've made a couple of new vows in the PTR thread, and need to make them in the LPC thread also. I'm currently working on the following (hope it's OK to use imgur to host?):

 

Here's a couple of WIP shots of my kit-bashed Belial:

I wanted to use more of a personal heraldry that reflects his time with 3rd Company, hence the right shoulder pad. 

 

Also, I have my PTR penitence challenge, 5th Company Standard Bearer:

I'm planning for this guy to be carrying the Standard of Devastation. I was going to originally print the artwork off onto transfer paper, but decided to have a go at my first ever attempt at serious freehand:

The image on the banner is a little bigger than it should be, but I'm fairly happy with it as a first attempt. I sketched it out with a sharp pencil first. 

 

And finally, we have the remains of my December vow, which is now coming along nicely:

Phew, that's a lot of posts!

 

Hopefully will have more updates later on today/this evening. 

 

Cheers, 


WW

Hmmmm...... I've seen this Belial somewhere before, but I can't put my finger on it :P

 

But seriously, that free hand with the banner is really awesome! And don't worry about imgur host, I post my pictures up there all the time for the LPC and PTR.
