NCSUwolf's Dark Angels (Updated pics)

I know you said you didn't have money to buy multiple TDA boxes but something you could do is get a few DV DW sets online and then one Assault TDA box. should be under a hundred depending on where you live. If you need CMLs there are some easy ways to make them yourself.

 

I plan on grabbing the rumored DW box(es) as soon as release hits. Though I am itching to grab a TDA box/DV set before then depending on how this month's paychecks roll out.

 

As for CMLs, Ive looked at a few options short of getting a TDA box for each unit (Havoc launchers, single launcher models, etc).

Just a quick update on a few recent additions/completions to my force of Unforgiven:

Techmarine(w/servo harness) Brother Armorius

(note I will excuse myself to Chamber 42 for the quality of these pictures, Brothers)


Here is an early shot of my Librarian, the enigmatic Brother Kosh in his terminator armor. (Ive since repositioned his bolter arm lower so he has less of a hunch)

I have also completed a 5 man unit from my 3rd Company's 9th Squad(Devastator Squad Hedron) (pics to come soon)

As always, Id love to hear what my fellow Angels of Darkness think of my humble works (aside from the ubiquitous "drilling the bolters"whistling.gif

:Bangs head on the wall.

:HOW DO THEY PAINT BONE SO CRISP!?!?!??!wallbash.gif wallbash.gif wallbash.gif

Very awesome force brother! I am in awe!

Heh, thank you kindly Brother! I paint my Bone color like so:

Prime the model in Chaos Black (GW)

Basecoat the bone parts (usually just the whole thing) in Rakara Flesh

Pre-wash the dark areas in Gryphone Sephia (the leg joints, underarms, joints, face cheeks)

Drybrush all the areas in Bleached Bone, trying to be a lighter on the already shaded areas

Hit all the details (metal bits, weapons, etc)

Wash the recesses again with a light Gryphone Sephia

It's a process, and Im still working on it, but so far Ive loved the way my 1st Company has been coming out so far :D

He looks good. A nice kit-bashed libbie. I loo forward to seeing him painted. smile.png

Thankies! Ive gotten mixed feedback from him but I can't wait to slap some, albeit blue *spits*, paint on him and let the enemy quake at the sight of my tanked up psycher!

After keeping up with our own venerable Elmo's thread of late I was inspired to pull out some updates to my own Company ventures. Here are a few shots of the Dark Angels 3rd Company with elements of the 1st, 2nd, and 10th Companies as well. (Forgive the photos, sadly my camera-phone took better shots than my actual camera due to some settings errors).

 

Below is 3 completed Tactical Squads, a 4th 90% done, 2 Dev squads (minus their bolter brothers in each), a Company master, Command squad with Banner and Apothecary, 1 (of 4) Drop pods, 2 Rhino chassis, Azrael, Seraphicus, Ezekiel, 2 more Librarians, and a smattering of other brothers (veteran or otherwise) from the 3rd, as well as Belial and an accoutrement of Terminator clad brothers of the 1st, Sammael and a contingent from the 2nd and a squad of Scouts from the 10th.

 

The plans are to finish the Bolter brothers in the Dev squads, along with the absent Assault squads (en route to deepstrike by the end of the year) and round out the remaining Tactical Squads (Squads 5 + 6) to complete the company. Then all that remains is a few Armory elements/finished transports and the Battle company will be finished!

 

All told the images below represent @ 6638 points of The Unforgiven (according to Army Builder, also including 3 not pictured landspeeders). All aquired, built, and painted since I joined my brethren just prior to the launch of 6th Edition. For the Lion, and for the Emperor!

Slow down NCSU you're putting us to shame.

 

It's an amazing collection. Bought, built and painted over 6k points in a relaltively tight timeframe is quite a feat.

 

Cheers

That's indeed an impressive amount of painting reminding me what I've done 3 years ago... Except at this time, LS vengeance and Flyers didn't exist so less work...

 

Seem you will have finished your project soon... Have you other project linked to the unforgiven? (Pre heresy, some additional units like contemptors...)

I agree, impressive amount of painting and they look very nice. You've got me beat, I've been playing this game for 20 or so years and have three squads and a dreadnought fully painted...

 

What are you planning after this section of your army is done?

I currently have a FireRaptor, FW Venerable Dread, a Chaplin w/jetpack, 2xVanguard vets and 2xAssault marine boxes inbound (prize winnings from the GT braket I won + trade for a tv my mother bought from me). So there will soon be all of those to assemble/paint. On hand I have to finish my LR, drop pods and rhinos and I want to go through and update some highlighting/basing to bring the whole force up to current specs.

 

I actually spent most of my Thanksgiving drilling out bolter barrels (need a larger drill bit for the heavy/storms).

 

 

Ive also been mulling around with starting a small force of.... >.>....<.<....>.>... Fallen!! Starting with a kitbashed Lord Cypher and a small contingent of Pre-Heresy looking Dark Angels (though subtly different after a 10000 years of seperation).

 

Aaaand with that admition, ill kindly see myself to Chamber 42, the Interrogator-Chaplins have me down for a solstice session shortly :D

can such a craft be used in a DA army......(dumb question im sure but stick with me)

 

Brother imustbedreamin, it can be fielded as part of a DA force as long as Forgeworld models are allowed.

 

 

 

And here's yet another addition to my growing force:

 

Interrogator-Chaplin Brother Elysius and Assault Squad Ignis Caelum

I dont know that I'll ever run these guys as pictured, I mostly modeled them in the cool way I felt haha. The TH/SS and LC brothers do (or will once I check them) have Bolt pistols holstered and will have Chainswords hanging off their hips thus they'll be WISYWIG for either the CS/BP or special loadouts.

Plus, when it's fluffy, rule of cool > all.



Jump pack Chaplain - awesome. Takes me back to 3rd Edition.

Looking good thumbsup.gif

Cheers
I

He kept my order from arriving for a month and a half but how could I NOT include him?? (soo cool)

The newest editions (Ive been on a bit of a building surge over the last few weeks):

 

http://i195.photobucket.com/albums/z166/carycollege/2013-12-27011350_zpse19fd350.jpg

 

Here are a few guys from Anvil Industries (Exo Lords) that I plan to use as Bolter Brothers for my Devastator units (with the heavier looking armor and whatnot).

Much painting is to come in the next few days/weeks. AND once this batch is finished, I'll be a tactical squad and a half along with a few transports from a full Battle Company (the illustrious 3rd Company).

Just a test painting update. Ive now primed everything Ive built recently (for those not keeping up/reading above that equates to 20 Guardsmen, to be my Caliban Jaeger regiment; 20x Assault Marines, 10 Tacticals, 5 Scouts, IC in Jeptpack, Vulkan He'Stan, a Sniper, a Venerable Dread and a Fire Raptor)

 

Here is my test Guardsmen and a test run of my Assault Marine (trying something interesting with the Jetpacks)
