Angels of Redemption - Slooooow and steady

[Gillyfish]

They're coming along nicely and look pretty good as a complete force. I'd love to see some insignia added and a few washes to some of the flesh etc., but they look really nice. I particularly like the deep red you've used - it works very well as a spot colour.

[Chaplain Lucifer]

It was a rush job to get them painted for the tornament. I still have to do some highlights, bases and touch ups. Tournament was good to make most of my marines tabletop ready. :)

[Gillyfish]

It certainly helps to have a deadline to paint to. I managed to paint some Ravenwing and some Deathwing this year, but that's about it. Black Knights will be next, but probably only once I have moved house!

[Ironwithout]

These look awesome Chaplain. If I may ask what are you going to do for chapter emblems if any? I am also doing some Angels of Redemption and the decals are the bane of my life at the moment.

Latest adition to my AoR. I didn't glue the weapons so I can use it as Dark Talon sometimes. I don't care about internet rantings on Nephilim.. it's a fine looking aircraft and by the Emperor's apendix, it will fly along the rest of my army.

[CovertToaster]

I have no problem with the flyers being used in an anti-infantry role but I prefer the dark talon as the blast is fine for guard and orks where their armour save is negligible anyway, the hurricane bolters are great, and the bomb can be handy to blunt an assault or prepare an enemy unit for an assault. Also I would much rather pay 160 points than 180!

[Vissah]

I am really liking the half half colours :-D wish I had the skill and patience to paint half half like that.

[captain sox]

Oooooooooh... I'm very interested in this, especially how your Neph turns out. Looking really good Chap!

[Inquisitor Eisenhorn]

Very nice man!  I love the Angels of Redemption and yours look great!

[Gillyfish]

Really looking forward to seeing that painted Lucifer. :)

A sunny day at last and some progress was made:

very very WIP. My plan is to do the split scheme and keep "wings" on the wings in black. If that doesn't work, maybe dark red.

[johnyocum]

Question is, since the one side is so dark (almost looks black in the image) anyway, do you want that wing pattern on the dark side to stand out?  If so, do the wings in dark red.  If not, then keep them black.

[CovertToaster]

You could mirror the whole thing. Do one half light and one half dark and then for wings etc do them light on the dark side and dark on the light side. Or as johnny says do them a completely different colour to get them to stand out.

[Chaplain Lucifer]

I understand the concerns and share them, but I feel I need to start with them black and once is finished them see if it needs chances, as to avoid painting and repainting multiple times.

[Chaplain Lucifer]

A bit more progress done. The interior is painted so I could glue canopy. I painted 1st coat of green and just highlighted teh black wings a bit to give idea of the final product. So far I'm liking it... doesn't seem overly dark. But once the model is finished then further conclusions can be drawn.

[johnyocum]

That first coat of green makes the black stand out enough that I'm inclined to agree right now.

[Master Avoghai]

Yup the green becoming a little lighter + the black getting grey highlight really help makin the difference between the 2 colours...

[Chaplain Lucifer]

Scout squad complete:

I wanted a more stealthy feel, so alot of stuff like the guns was kept in black. I tried to keep a limited palette going so they're not like a circus company. ;) I'm kind of proud of how the cloack cammo turned out.

[JJD]

Good work on the army as a whole especially so if it was on a deadline. I love the camo pattern on the scouts.

[Chaplain Lucifer]

Fresh from the paintsatation: Librarian on bike. Only 10 termies left.

[djgoldsmith]

Good work. Flier works for me, contrast between green and black still stands out . As for the scouts just finished mine (must do a wip thread) and was feeling happy how I did the camo cloaks, I feel a little less smug now.

[Isiah]

Wow CL - libby on bike is awsome sauce. Loving the black raven feathers theme you have there. Is that how you treat all you RW or just characters?

 

Cheers

[Chaplain Lucifer]

Isiah, the black raven feathers are my rw trademark. I had creative liberty with AoR so i decided that feathers should be black like a ravens. I dig the mpre sinister look.

[Chaplain Lucifer]

THis years ETL IV will see me getting some more stuff done on my AoR. 1860 pts of AoR goodness. Stay tuned.

[Master Avoghai]

ETL V? O_o

 

You're one year too soon :D
