Brother Darklight Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 Greetings Dark Angels! A recent snap decision has lead myself and a friend to split on a Dark Vengeance box. He wanted the Chaos, which leaves this Black Templar with some rather attractive Dark Angels models. Of the newer range of Citadel colours, what are the ones you fine gentlemen use to get your Angels, Deathwing and Ravenwing to look Dark Angel-y? PS. Looks like you have a new Battle Brother in your ranks, just in time for the new Codex release B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is about the best time to be a Dark Angels player that there has even been, at lest so far as as models are concerned. Lots of unique stuff coming our way.

Gratan Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 Personally I am using Army Painter paints for my Dark Angels. Both their Primers and the new Warpaints line I start with Angel Green spray Primer Touch up with Angel Green brushon Wash with a 3:1 mix of Thrakka Green and Badab Black Drybrush Greenskin Wash with Thrakka Green It seems to work well and is fairly quick to do. It's another option than GW... For my Deathwing I use Skeleton Bone Primer and Brushon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slyfox1990 Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 Can't comment on bone and black at the moment as I've not started work there, although I have a rough idea with the former. My paint scheme is essentially this though: http://taleofpainters.blogspot.co.uk/2012/...ngels-from.html Essentially: 1. Prime black 2. Caliban Green bascoat 3. Black line recesses 4. Edge highlight warboss green 5. Further light edge highlight of skarsnik green I don't do my robes the same though. Will put up a photo of one that I painted a little later.
