Brother Moridius Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 Figured I would finally start a thread for my Dark Angels, it will mostly be my Path to Redemption vows but I will try to throw in as much other DA stuff that I am working on as possible.Here is my vow for September copied directly of the Path to Redemption thread:I, Brother Moridius vow to finally get off my a$% and start contributing to this forum, for September I vow to complete 1 Venerable Dreadnaught wielding a plasma cannon and heavy flamer worth 150 pt.As he stands now, he is magnetized which is why the pics have different weapon configurations.September vow complete! Presenting Venerable Brother Kadillus. Can't believe how long he took me...[/url] [/url]CnC always welcome and appreciated.For October I might stick with a small vow due to me and my better half buying a house plus a wedding to go to and all that real life stuff but we will see.Moridius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Semper Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 Damn!!! This is awesome Brother Moridius! Very clean - I particularly like the plasma cannon - super nice coils there! And BLACK! I like!!!!! :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Moridius Posted September 28, 2012 Author Share Posted September 28, 2012 Thanks Captain, I debated for a long time what colour to paint my 1st company and finally decided to go with a pre Plainsworld colour scheme. Tried to make his powerfist yellow and red diamonds but it looks out of place so put it on his banner instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isiah Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 Awesome sauce dread. The banner is excellent too, the yellow/red diamonds very old style Deathwing :). Cheers I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother-Sergeant Bohemond Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 very nice, loving the choice of Black :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Moridius Posted September 29, 2012 Author Share Posted September 29, 2012 Thanks for the nice comments guys! My only worry with painting the Deathwing black is that once I give the sergeants robes they might look like BT from far away. Hopefully the red and gold will be enough to differentiate them (that and all the wings and feathers haha) Moridius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Moridius Posted October 3, 2012 Author Share Posted October 3, 2012 Time to get on to my October vow! Here it is: I, Brother Moridius vow to complete 1 Ravenwing attack bike with a multimelta as my October Vow. Here is how it looks now: Sorry for the blurry pic, all I have is my phone. Main colours are down but still needs a lot of finish work/highlighting/clean up and I have to get a base for it. I know its a pretty tiny vow but I am really unsure of how much/little time I will have this month to paint due to real life being pretty crazy. Hopefully I can get him out of the way and do another small vow (like an HQ or something) Cheers, Moridius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Semper Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 I really like yourstyle Moridius! The seats in particular look ace! Let's see you finishing this one too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FinylCut Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 Brother Moridius: The dread tuned out fantastic. Don't sweat a small vow, it's harvest season! Who can get any significant painting done this time of year? I'm looking forward to seeing your attack bike completed. FC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Moridius Posted October 6, 2012 Author Share Posted October 6, 2012 October Vow complete! Here is the finished attack bike with multimelta worth 50 points. The only thing it still needs is squad numbering and I am holding back on that until the new codex comes to make sure I dont have to do it twice. C/C always welcome. I am going to take a look and see if I can pull together a 5 man tactical squad of half finished marines and do a second vow for the month, no promises though.

Isiah Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 Looks ace :huh:. What are those green marines hiding in the background? They look pretty good too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Moridius Posted October 8, 2012 Author Share Posted October 8, 2012 Thanks Isiah, the green boys are part of my 3rd Company. I have the entire company built but shamefully not even half painted... I decided to be brave and do another vow for the month of October! I, Moridius vow to complete 1 Ravenwing Attack Squadron consisting of a Veteran Seargeant with a power sword and two bikers for a total of 135 pts. Starting photo: 1 biker is done and I threw some basic colours on the other 2 last night. M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adeptus-Alaska Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 wow man, these are amazing! kudos on the pre-plainsworld choice, how utterly refreshing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Moridius Posted November 18, 2012 Author Share Posted November 18, 2012 Finally posting the completed bikes in this thread, quickly threw them up in the Path to Redemption main thread but then never had the time to put them up here. I think they actually turned out pretty well (for my skill level anyways). I also tried to take some better pictures but I'm still only using my phone so could only make them so good... Here is the Raventwing Attack Squadron from my October Vow: I am holding off doing squad markings only because I am afraid that in the new codex the 2nd company will get reorganized in some shape or form and I'd have to redo them! And finally sorry for such a late vow, just moved to a house and only got internet today. I, Brother Moridius, vow to paint a Dark Angels 5 Man tactical squad with a flamer worth 95 points. Current status: I have to paint the Vet Sergeants robes bone, finish his banner and give a couple of them Chapter Icons on their pauldrons.

Captain Semper Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 The bikes look ace brother, especially the choice of blue as a contrasting color to black! I also like the skin tone on the Sergeant! Well done! Good luck with tyding up the Tacts! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmo Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 Don't know how I missed this - great work. The black Dread was a great choice - looks really good The RW came out good too - lovin the blue inner robe and the blue headlights and a nice dark green tac squad http://l.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mesg/emoticons7/113.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
facmanpob Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 These are yum-diddly-um-scrumptious! :rolleyes: I particularly like the John Wayne-esque pose in this one! :) But the paint scheme on the Dreadnought is awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Moridius Posted November 18, 2012 Author Share Posted November 18, 2012 Thanks for all the kind words brothers! Captain Semper/Elmo9141 - glad you like the blue inner robes, I toyed around with different colours and decided that I'd do a different colour for each of the first three companies - green for Deathwing, blue for Ravenwing, and red for 3rd Co. Hopefully that will break up the sea of green and black that my DA are slowly becoming. facmanpob - the dreads arms are not glued so I'll make sure to field him rocking the pose that you like! (i was actually playing with him like a 5 year old yesterday moving his arms about...) Hopefully my boys in green live up to the incredible standard everybody has been setting in this forum.

That made me laugh out loud! :lol: By the way I really like the idea of differentiating between companies by using the robes - very cool idea!

Brother Moridius Posted November 24, 2012 Author Share Posted November 24, 2012 Brothers I need your help! I am working on my November vow and adding tactical symbols to shoulders pads and came across a dilemma. What do I do for the marine on the right? I really want to somehow identify him as part of the same squad but dont know where to put the squad number and tactical symbol. Help! M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skink Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 Ah, the tricky studded shoulder pad! I have quite a few minis that I just knocked together as an exuberant kid, and now that I'm painting them ~12 years later am quite irritated at myself at their composition! I quite often put symbols on backpacks; either painting onto the flat area present on some or putting the company symbol onto the embossed feature. Sometime weapon casings can host a symbol. Right greave could fit something. The 'codex' Tactical arrow on both backpack vents? There's sometimes space in the bottom corner of those pads for a token symbol... + Can't believe I forgot to compliment the painting demonstrated as well; mine is only fast because it's rough, but your highlights are nice and tight. Good job! + Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Semper Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 Do nothing. Leave it as is. Simple - no? :D This is deviation within acceptable standards. The specific marine has archaic armour that is not designed to accomodate Codex-style markings (if you need justification, that is). ;) And they DO look awesome btw!!!

Brother Moridius Posted November 24, 2012 Author Share Posted November 24, 2012 Thanks for the compliments and input guys. Captain - I am every so tempted to do nothing (with a proper justification for it and everything!) but I am really trying to not be lazy with these guys anymore. I think Skinky (can I call you that? makes you sound all cute and scaly) has a good idea with the smaller symbols and Im going to put it on the right knee pad. *Looks at all the Corvus legs on other marines* Doh! Well one marine at at a time I guess... M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenith Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Paint the tac arrows on the lower right greave, or paint a really small single vertical arrow in between two studs. Great looking marines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother dean Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Perfectly acceptable to paint a small arrow and number on the left pad in one of the lower corners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
