Martok Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Recently an old friend of mine started playing 40k and he wanted to build an army quickly and cheaply so he could start playing. As such I advised him to pick up Dark Vengeance and use everything inside of it for a CSM force in the theme of the Fallen Dark Angels. To add to what he had I have put together some characters to lead his force: Abaddon Typhus I am planning on working out some fluff for each of these characters to tie their Dark Angel heritage to the particular chaos characters. - Martok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kierdale Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Very impressive work! I think I'll subscribe to this one. Great combinations of parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chronosvulcan597 Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Great job. Have you through about taking the Dark Angel Knight terminator shoulders with either the angel or the chapter symbol and adding the shoulder edgings with either plasti-card or greenstuff?

Razblood Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Very cool conversions, one thing I would do though is to fill in the gap in the broken sword motif of the DW badge, since fallen are generally from before the Lion sword was broken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martok Posted March 9, 2013 Author Share Posted March 9, 2013 Great job. Have you through about taking the Dark Angel Knight terminator shoulders with either the angel or the chapter symbol and adding the shoulder edgings with either plasti-card or greenstuff? Interestingly the DA Knight pads are already on them both although the alternate pads are different as I did not want the Crux Terminatus on them. The edging is a good idea and could make Typhus look more imposing, thanks! Very cool conversions, one thing I would do though is to fill in the gap in the broken sword motif of the DW badge, since fallen are generally from before the Lion sword was broken. Yeah that is definitely something i had in mind. Not sure best way to fill something that small though i was considering just painting it complete but that could look a tad rubbish. Liquid greenstuff, regular or what would you suggest? - Martok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martok Posted March 11, 2013 Author Share Posted March 11, 2013 I shall fill these in when i start some GS work on these guys. The scythe needs some gap filling so might as well do it one go :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martok Posted March 21, 2013 Author Share Posted March 21, 2013 They have some paint! http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-w0zt6K48GZY/UUZIGvtuTMI/AAAAAAAAASw/xlBQGHhyOD0/s320/DSC_0069.JPG The key ring of skulls... totem.. thing is a representation of the Destroyer Hive, Typhus has. This was achieved with the flail from the Death Wing Knight box (a kit used throughout the conversion) with some skulls and a wire "key chain" added. http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-NbxHXuekXOk/UUZIHHNOoMI/AAAAAAAAAS0/hvvCw8cp140/s320/DSC_0071.JPG Thus far I have managed to finish the airbrush work on the armour but I will need to go in with a brush to add some highlights and battle damage etc. http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-pei_MBgJ9jQ/UUZIGxearoI/AAAAAAAAATA/PU5aAM5pLvA/s320/DSC_0070.JPG The base is a cast from a friend over at Codex of War and I am very happy with the extra "presence" it gives the moody model. Also conveniently it has three skulls in a pile which is as we all know Nurgles favourite number :) http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-XjVpPzS2CkA/UUZIImukUfI/AAAAAAAAATI/j4gEIi-4tHY/s320/DSC_0072.JPG I need to have this guy and Abaddon model ready for Bristol Vanguards Vanquish tournament in about three weeks which hopefully won't be a problem.

Martok Posted March 26, 2013 Author Share Posted March 26, 2013 Thanks for the comments guys :) http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-RAl3EcE4PCE/UVGLf2yivTI/AAAAAAAAAdA/efRrvfYeTjo/s320/Abaddon+-+Close+Up.jpg Another Fallen Angel I am painting up for my friend. This time Abaddon. Keep in mind this army is Nurgle themed so the scheme reflects that. http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-8UIZjM1x4UY/UUZIlZDND5I/AAAAAAAAATY/gJHgJIDr0mc/s320/DSC_0074.JPG Again this is all airbrush work going from pre shading to some Zenithal Highlighting and then finishing with washes. http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-CXXHzb6ovsY/UUZIjs0-zqI/AAAAAAAAATQ/8oH8oFRjEAM/s320/DSC_0075.JPG The base is home made and is simply some rocks with green stuff/sand in the gaps and some Secret Weapon Miniatures skulls to add some interest. http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-w2L86Q31sH0/UUZIlYos8sI/AAAAAAAAATc/X4hpYdh1vEk/s320/DSC_0076.JPG This will need some highlighting and then i think I shall add another layer of washing to blend the highlights. Also I think for Nurgle it coudl do with a darker green finish. http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-24M1o0Pcvhg/UUZImd9-RMI/AAAAAAAAATo/VBBh8G8PrN4/s320/DSC_0077.JPG - Martok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martok Posted March 28, 2013 Author Share Posted March 28, 2013 Thanks for the comments guys. These guys are done so I shall showcase soon. My friends Fallen Angel army is still in need of a lot more paint and the need to be ready for Bristol Vanguards Vanquish 2013 in a like a week and a half. So he has handed me some to work on. This time some Obliterators. The paint process was very similar to the characters that I blogged with Abaddon here and Typhus here. These are based and varnished and ready for the battle field :) - Martok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
