DIY Chapter: The Angels of Terra


Recommended Posts

Due to the high number of Traitor post that have been happening recently (*cough* call to chaos *cough*) I decided to post something to remind us all of the awesome failure that those traitor legions had at the battle of Terra and the subsequent 10,000 yrs... :) So with out further delay, I give you the WIP of the chapter banner for the Angels of Terra:

C&C welcome as always

 

Edit: sorry for the poor lighting...

I'd make the seals stand out and pop better. I think the round disk in between the wings could use some iconography and of course whoever is holding it needs some serious anti chaos attitude to back up your smack.

 

Good tabletop quality tho. Nice to see a banner. Not many flags peeps posting these days.

The banner topper and bottom of the banner haven't been painted yet. The eagle topper will get the globe painted in the disk with a golden eagle in it. as far as the carrier, haven't even made him yet... Cant decide if I want a sang guard to carry it (artificer armor) or just a regular honor guard (reg power armor with add-on honors)

I'd say it's a bit more than "Good tabletop quality", more like pretty damn nice freehand, presenting Chaos with a word (Hint - It's the bird :geek: )

 

The circle in between the wings is depicted with the Earth from what I can see, but it could probably stand to be a bit brighter - (having just read your reply, totally wrong :) ).

 

Other than that I have no criticism just jealousy ;)

@Razblood. I call it how I see it. Life Guard of Justice even said himself he wasnt finished. Lets be honest, he asked for C&C, I gave it. Bottom line is that as is without his final touches he's adding I'd have already thrown it on the battlefield. I did say it was 'Good' table top quality. When finished, I'm sure it will be even better. I do agree with your criticism that he has good freehand. I like the stars especially. This is what we do in the WIP section... share ideas to end up with the best.

 

@LGoJ: I'd magnetize the banner so you can go artificer to power armor and back. I dont think it will make any difference, as it will be the last thing the traitor scum see before the end of their wretched existence. :)

So I havnt done any more owrk on the banner but I do have something else to show:

 

I give you Captain of the Second Company (counts as Sanguinor):

Obviously still VERY wip (there is still a big gouge in his lower back that needs to be filled) but I decided that I loved the Sanguinor model but absolutely despised the half crucified stance of him, so I made a (in my opinion) better one. :lol:

 

C&C welcome as allways,

Ps: here is a sneak peak on the next character in line:

the Crozius bit is the top off one of the old chaplains from Generation 3 space marines. He was the one that had the really ugly skull helmet with the fangs. I had one lying around so I decided to put that crozius to good work. Not sure what'll happen to the rest of him... :P if I can find a picture ill post it

 

Edit: FOUND ONE! Its not my work, found this picture un-cited at Daka Daka so... but its this old guy:

Like I said Ugly... But the crozius is perfect for a blood angels army :huh:

Been a few but I finally was ably to sit down and work a little on these guys.

 

I realized that the I am missing a part that will be essential for the Chaplain so he is on the back burner for now.

 

But this is my work from this week:

 

Assault Sargent:

Tactical Sargent:

And Librarian:

Still very WIP on the Libby but I have never even tried OSL so I was wondering what you guys thought of my first attempt.

 

C & C welcome as always

The head on the Tac sgt is awesome! Where did that come from? AS for the osl it sa technique I have to admit Ive never tried but I think it may be a little heavy around the eyes/face. Like I say its something I havent tried really so I cant give the best feedback on it.

Looks to me like one of the heads from the chaos terminator lord box, which has had its rebreather modified with greenstuff, and had some greenstuff hair added.

 

These models are fantastic, keep up the good work!

@ Biohazard & The_Chaplain:

 

Actually the head is just a regular re breather head from the space marine tac squad. I was doing molds for one of the severin loth helmets so that I could have more of em and realized that rubber molds make fantastic press molds for green stuff. I then saw the half helmeted head that forge world makes for the pre heresy tank commanders and you can fit the rest together. ;)

 

@ Cold Winter:

 

I did that by slowly layering dark blue up to white/blue. I then took some almost white and made a wash out of it and washed it to make it blend a little.

 

Do you guys think it would be over doing it to make the ax glow as well?

Excellent, thanks for the info. :) Looking at the OSL again I think the eyes need to be a bit brighter to show that they are the light source. (assuming of course they are the light source) I think the ax glowing as well may be a little too much unless you tone down the existing osl a little so it isnt as severe.

These are awesome; that's one of the most epic banners I've ever seen, and your greenstuff on the chaplain and the Tac Sergeant is fantastic! I'll have to keep an eye on these guys.

Ugh... I feel like this project is going a lot slower than I want it to. Between Work, Sea Scouts, and Family I haven't really had a whole lot of time to put into this army. But as promised: and UPDATE:

I tried my hand at some NMM gold (the keys) and also I realized that I jumped the gun on the OSL :) and had to paint over some of it in order to get the other parts painted up right. But I will fix that later.

 

As always C & C
