JJD Posted March 2, 2018 Author Share Posted March 2, 2018 Great work :tu: Thanks Elmo. I know I said I was going to steal your Azrael conversation but I decided to try something of my own. I’m glad you approve . elmo 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/281340-jjds-dark-angels/page/8/#findComment-5023640 Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJD Posted March 7, 2018 Author Share Posted March 7, 2018 I’ve got another box of Black Knights still to build and I’ve picked up the DA Hellblasters. I also snagged the Deathwatch Dark Angel to be my lieutenant. I managed to stop myself buying the Primaris Lt to use as the hellblaster sgt as it seemed like an unnecessary expense but the urge to stick to having all my Sgts in robes may be to strong in the end. I’d better get building elmo 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/281340-jjds-dark-angels/page/8/#findComment-5026720 Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJD Posted March 9, 2018 Author Share Posted March 9, 2018 (edited) Take it from me... you can never have a big enough painting backlog :(My back log is usually just in my head without thinking too hard it goes:-More Black Knights 10 Hellblasters Lieutenant Another Razorback Sammy Talon master Dark Shroud Dark talon Scouts Oh and a betrayal at Calth box that is possibly going to be a small fallen force if I ever get to it.

Punk possum Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Yeah I have to agree that's not a real back log just a to do list☺ loving your Azreal btw.

JJD Posted March 10, 2018 Author Share Posted March 10, 2018 You’re both right its my slow to do list. My main road block is cleaning and building. Once they are built I can’t wait to paint them. It’s motivating myself to start scraping off mold lines that stops the progress. elmo 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/281340-jjds-dark-angels/page/8/#findComment-5029041 Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJD Posted March 18, 2018 Author Share Posted March 18, 2018 Every little bit of progress counts. A Dark Angle Lieutenant to accompany Azrael. I think the poses will look good together. The weapon swap gives them the same range. Also he uses the first Primaris bit in my army. If your wondering it’s the Sgt shoulder. I swapped the side the DA icon was going on and didn’t realise until it was too late the purity seal was now blowing the wrong way. Also the weapon swap was so much harder than it should be as all the combi-plasmas are attached to the right hand and I had to cut the strap off.

JJD Posted April 30, 2018 Author Share Posted April 30, 2018 I know I have post this elsewhere but for completeness I going to post it here too. This will be my ETL 2018 vow I am not a big fan of painting bikes so this will motivate me to fill out the squad for future battles. elmo, Burias-Drak'shal, Galthan Ironsturm and 1 other 4 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/281340-jjds-dark-angels/page/8/#findComment-5068075 Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJD Posted May 15, 2018 Author Share Posted May 15, 2018 (edited) Looking awesome as always JJD, really digging those robesThanks Greenz it took a few try’s but I’m really happy with painting robes now I’ve settled on a recipe that matches my style. Looking sharp there Brother, I'm looking forward to seeing those Black Knights get some paint love. I honestly thought now I’ve started playing again and with ETL as extra motivation I would have gotten more done on the bikes but for some reason out of everything I’ve painted I just find bikes hard work. I’m hoping for a couple of hours before work tomorrow with no kids in the house so we will have to see how much I can power through.

Gillyfish Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 I've actually found that the bikes themselves benefit from gentle drybrushing and then using black paint to tidy up the armour panels. It's quick and means that there is a nice distinction in style between the rider and the bike which ensure the eye is drawn to the rider.

JJD Posted May 16, 2018 Author Share Posted May 16, 2018 Well my hope of progress today have been dashed. Grandmother is ill so I’ve got the 2year old until I go to work. Still play time with a little monkey. Maybe tomorrow.

JJD Posted May 16, 2018 Author Share Posted May 16, 2018 (edited) A little progress whilst my little princess was playing It’s not the best lighting but the blades looks ok from table top. Close up it’s not quite there yet but feel like I’m getting better with each try. It wasn’t something I particularly planned but he’s going to look great striding into battle with my Azrael conversion combi-Plasma’s blazing.
