captain sox Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Hey everyone. I'm really excited about the Path to Redemption challenge (?) that's going on. It gave me a change to start my army over. Originally I was going with the Angels of Vengeance (I have lots of decals if anyone needs ;) ) but with the release of the Dark Vengeance set, I couldn't help but restart my army. So Dark Angels it is! I really think the new models are slick. Snap fit is perfect for a person like me. Easy to build, but will be a challenge to convert. So for September, I vowed a the 10 Man Tactical Squad from DV. Here's the progress: First the sprues! http://i430.photobucket.com/albums/qq25/ConductorSam/Vengeance1.jpg Then the Tac Squad: http://i430.photobucket.com/albums/qq25/ConductorSam/P1210505.jpg Now with some prime and paint: http://i430.photobucket.com/albums/qq25/ConductorSam/P1210517.jpg a closeup of my work (still needs a bit of a touch-up) http://i430.photobucket.com/albums/qq25/ConductorSam/P1210521.jpg Comments and critiques always welcomed! Stay tuned. More redemption coming to a screen near you! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/261317-reset-repaint-redeem/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Semper Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 Love the really dark green shade you got there... Can't wait to see the whole squad done! I also see you went for red bolters. Traditionalist to the core! :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/261317-reset-repaint-redeem/#findComment-3180899 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adeptus-Alaska Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 I really like your green.

captain sox Posted September 20, 2012 Author Share Posted September 20, 2012 Here's a quick update. Green and Bone on all! http://i430.photobucket.com/albums/qq25/ConductorSam/P1210526_zpse45cab7f.jpg Looks like I may get this squad done by month's end!

captain sox Posted September 28, 2012 Author Share Posted September 28, 2012 So it is done! My first ever vow completed! It's been 4 years, and it feels good! http://i430.photobucket.com/albums/qq25/ConductorSam/P1210532.jpg another view http://i430.photobucket.com/albums/qq25/ConductorSam/P1210542.jpg I haven't decided where to place the decals or how to mark the Sergeant's banner. When I do, I'll update and post it. for now, this unit is DONE!! Wooot! (some models will need touch ups too, but I'll come back to it later.) Here's another pic to show how dark the green is. This is natural light, no flash. http://i430.photobucket.com/albums/qq25/ConductorSam/P1210551.jpg More DV goodness for October, either Terminators or the 3 HQ!

Zhent Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 What did you do for the cloth / robe sections, color-wise? It looks great. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/261317-reset-repaint-redeem/#findComment-3189649 Share on other sites More sharing options...
captain sox Posted September 28, 2012 Author Share Posted September 28, 2012 What did you do for the cloth / robe sections, color-wise? It looks great. Hello, For the robe it was simply painted in Bone (or Beige) washed with Seraphim Sepia (a heavy wash not a light one), painted over the folds of the robe with the Bone again, then highlighted with Terminatus Stone (drybrush), then one more highlight with White (again Drybrush). It's all trial and error... I had to use at least 4 or 5 test models to get the technique right! Thanks for the comments!

captain sox Posted October 2, 2012 Author Share Posted October 2, 2012 September oath fulfilled, pearl achieved! Onto October. 250 Pts of Deathwing goodness from DV: http://i430.photobucket.com/albums/qq25/ConductorSam/P1210560.jpg Stay tuned ps: FYI, these models can be easier to convert than you think :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/261317-reset-repaint-redeem/#findComment-3193855 Share on other sites More sharing options...
djgoldsmith Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 Nicely painted models, and another nice head swap on the sgt. May have to do one of those myself. Looking forward to seeing the deathwing join them. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/261317-reset-repaint-redeem/#findComment-3194522 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burn_the_Heretic Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 How did you do the green by the way? New or old colours? Brush or spray gun? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/261317-reset-repaint-redeem/#findComment-3196019 Share on other sites More sharing options...
captain sox Posted October 4, 2012 Author Share Posted October 4, 2012 How did you do the green by the way? New or old colours? Brush or spray gun? Hello, The green is Caliban Green over a black prime. Washed the green with Biel-Tan Green wash, then highlighted with Caliban Green, then highlighted again with Snot Green (old Colour). Highest edges get a small treatment of Hellion Green (Dry). I've never used spray or an airbrush, possibly why it takes so long for me to paint stuff! The new GW paints are actually quite nice, which was a nice surprise to me!

captain sox Posted October 5, 2012 Author Share Posted October 5, 2012 Progress on October oath, vow, pledge, etc: Did this guy up to see what I could do with bone and white and stone: http://i430.photobucket.com/albums/qq25/ConductorSam/P1210569.jpg you can see the other terminators are in the background waiting for base, or other colours. Pay no attention to the three HQ on the left of the photo ;) they will be done later on the Path to Redemption. I just need to build something to take a break from painting :D http://i430.photobucket.com/albums/qq25/ConductorSam/P1210568.jpg Still very much a WIP, not sure what to do with the crests on the Terminator. Seems very bland. May need to break down and add a colour?!

Captain Semper Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 This looks the part Captain Sox! I think you did a greatjob with the whites - it appears to be quite smooth and even - way better a result that I could ever achieve... I also like the choice of red for the storm bolter casings, they match with the DW symbol... All you need to do now is apply some color on the chest eagle - will you go for tred again or the more traditional green? And what are you going to do with the sergeant's robes? Btw when you say creast, are you referring to the sergeant's feathers?

If you look at top picture, the Terminator on the right (AC one) he's just painted with Ushtabi Bone. The one on the left (arm off) is the bone, washed with Reikland Fleshshade. The one in the center is then dry brushed completely and relentlessly with Terminatus Stone. Then I touched up the edges with white. Wasn't has difficult as I thought it would be. The Chest Eagle (aka Crest) will end up being Green. I tried different colours on my palette to see which ones worked, and the green really seems to pop. As for the robes and feather, the robes on the Sergeant will be Purple (Capes on my other Dark Angels will be Purple) just to add a spash of colour. The feathers will be white, like Angel Feathers. I'm looking forward to getting these guys done! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/261317-reset-repaint-redeem/#findComment-3197692 Share on other sites More sharing options...
djgoldsmith Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 Nice models, very much like the white on the centre terminator. Quite like the red weapon casings for dw. Not thé first i have seen here and the look us definitely growing on me. Thanks for the kind words Captain Semper!

Looks to me like a relentless drybrushing is the next stage my poor tester models will be going through.

Artemid Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 Relentless drybrushing is how I do all of my Termies, though I go from a Scorched Brown base straight up to heavy Bleached/Ushabti Bone with a heavy White pass on top, so it comes out looking much more weathered and hewn. Really not very complicated to paint at all though once you get the Brown on everywhere :) Looking good!

FinylCut Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 captain sox: The terminators are coming along very nicely. Your tac squad looks great, though, for some reason, I was expecting them to all be robed.

Your tac squad looks great, though, for some reason, I was expecting them to all be robed. FC Yeah, my previous posts are a mess. I originally planned an all robed army, but gave up on it. In fact I pretty much gave up on 40k turned to another system early in the summer, but I found my way back... For good. You'll probably see my various DA army stuff prior to my departure, but all of that is scrapped. Lke the title of my post says, I've restarted my army. And it's going to be an exciting future as a DA player!
