Capitano's Guide for Dark Angels

Recommended Posts

Do you grow weary of having dull pre-primer legionares...

 

Tired of having your primered squad of marines wiped out to the man but you don't know who to send that geneseed home to for future generations...

 

Well I have the solution for you...granted this solution is Dark Angels the first legion those who have no equal and so on and so forth...

 

I can get you a table top ready squad of 10 men in less then 2 hours...that is right 10 Tactical Marines painted and table top in less then TWO HOURS...

How you ask...

 

Simple...

 

You need

Foundation - Knarloc Green...for the base green color

Foundation - Dheneb Stone - for the purity seals

Foundation - Tallarn Flesh - for the scroll work

Foundation - Calthan Brown - bolter straps other cloth material

Color - Mithril Silver (any silver will work really...)

Color - Blue (for the purity seals, lens, and other stuff...

Washes - Brown

Washes - Black

 

And this one right here...

First we need to get those guys primed up...pick up a color and go with it...seeing that I used foundation I don't really need primer...

Give them about 10 minutes or so to dry...one coat is all I did and they dried up pretty quickly...Good job...

 

Use that green from the picture and put a wash type coat over the marines

GREAT JOB

 

This is the longest part of waiting...that green wash/paint stuff is great...but takes about 15-25 minutes of dry time so do batches 3-4 men at a time...helps the wait time...

 

Ok now we need to add some details

Now after you finish up those details you are done...

 

Add a black wash over the soft armour joints...after you have hit them with a silver...

 

GO YOU...you are finished...

 

however these guys are running with Cypher and some other fallen I need to darker armour

 

SOOOOOO...I hit them with the Black Wash over the entire model
