Angels_Blade Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Hey all, I'm back after a very busy and convoluted couple of years. My Eldar are finished and shelved and now its time to turn my attention back to my first love. I plan to create the best looking Dark Angel army I have ever done which means it will take a bit of time to get up to fighting strength but with a new look B&C its only right that I start posting my new look Army. The army will be Ravenwing Heavy with supporting elements from the DW and DA 6th Reserve Company. But to begin with I'm putting together a small 600pt force for an event in March composed entirely of green wing. First up is the Standard of Devestation (on 40mm base for look but will be measured from the banner top for fairness) http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o138/mustanguk/WP_20130119_001.jpg Next is the Whirlwind and a 5 Man Tactical (Sarge is being replaced for event to make him Bolter equiped and not-veteran) http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o138/mustanguk/WP_20130127_001.jpg http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o138/mustanguk/WP_20130127_003.jpg http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o138/mustanguk/WP_20130127_004.jpg And Finally a Dreadnought (Assault Cannon downgraded to TL Auto Cannon hopefully in the post) http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o138/mustanguk/WP_20130120_001.jpg Well I hope you like them Cheers AB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmo Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Very, very nice. I especially like the bases and the extra DA bling. Keep going ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interrogator Stobz Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Awesomeness abounding; so glad to see more Green Mahreens!!! esp to such a high standard, well done. Keep going;) :D stobz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drunkspleen Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 I like your vehicles, the weathering is a nice subtle touch that makes them look used but not just abused and neglected, I think people go overboard weathering vehicles sometimes.

Dahawi Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 The detailing on the whirlwind is superb, I love the gunner inside. I should no what those gothic bits are off but I'm having a bit of blonde moment and cannot remember for the life of me what they are off! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krieghammer Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Extremely nice! Really like the look of that banner of devastation! And how you make use of those flyer bits as decoration on the whirlwind, it really works well! Looking forward for more ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GlauG Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Is that banner freehand? That's astounding, well done indeed sir! Also nice to see the talon bits on the whirlwind, mine will be finding a home on a Land Raider... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Komodo Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Great start and great looking minis. Standard of Devastation being my personal favourite. Is it freehanded, or you somehow decaled it in some way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wraithwing Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Wow. Just... Wow. If that banner is freehand, then I'm ashamed to have posted the one I did yesterday. It's drivel in comparison! Amazing Dark Angels, very impressive. More please. Cheers, WW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angels_Blade Posted January 29, 2013 Author Share Posted January 29, 2013 It's kinda freehand/ kinda cheating. It's a black and white photocopy, reduced by 12% printed onto extra thin art paper and attached to the plastic banner with watered down pva. Then I just painted in the lines!

GlauG Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Still awesome, but don't feel so bad about my own freehand skills now :) Haha, my exact sentiments also. And not a bad trick to borrow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Captain Lucian Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 *Dat Banner* Very nice Dark Angels you have there brother. And a very good use of bling bling bits :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angels_Blade Posted January 30, 2013 Author Share Posted January 30, 2013 Thanks guys, I've started work on the 4 veterans to accompany the Standard Bearer. None will be robed but instead will be wearing Mk Several armour to show their veteran status. Hope to have some pics up tommorrow, friday at the latest.

Brother Caliban Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Absolutely brilliant, as mentioned banner bearer is boss. Personally I am not a fan of bases for tanks but it does not really detract that much from the model so if you really like it game on! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheForgottenAngel Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Is this Ben from Worthy Painting videos? First off superb banner! It is incredible! I love the Heresy era helmet and the subtle conversions. The Whirlwind is awesome with the use of the Dark Talon bits. Seriously such a great idea to add a Dark Angels spin without doing Forge World doors and etched brass. I can't wait to see more! Patrick PS: Fallen all the way!!!!

Wraithwing Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Is this Ben from Worthy Painting videos? It is indeed thanks for the comments! Aha, very cool. I loved your Heresy Era stuff, very cool. Looking forward to seeing more green from you :) Cheers, WW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan Blaire Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Agree with all of the above! The banner and bearer look awesome, excellent work (and very cool technique). The Whirlwind looks very cool all blinged out and while the base is neat, my personal opinion is that I don't like bases on vehicles. Very cool dread! Looking forward to more of these!

TheForgottenAngel Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Haha awesome man! I talked with Nick the other day! I'll need your expertise on Pre-Heresy ideas for the stuff I'm sending in! I might have to borrow your idea with the darktalon bits in the FellBlade if you don't mind mate! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool, If you want me do build it for you just let him know. Love converting Dark angels. Big thing I'd say is get them to take the rivets off. But feel free to ask I tend to have a hand in most of the DA stuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheForgottenAngel Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Will do! Definitely looking forward to seeing the progress on your project man! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
