Luther's W.o.S.P. (Works of Slow Progress)

[AGPO]

I *love* the red you've got on that tactical squad. Any chance you'd share the method? If this army was a super hero movie they'd call it a gritty reboot and it's exactly as I imagine blood angels.

[Veteran Sergeant]

Definitely a fan of darker, grittier Marines. These are no exception. Excellent work.

[Corporal_Chaos]

Very NICE!!

 

[reckoning]

Really like the shade of red on your death company dreads. Brilliant work!

[Telencephalon]

Lovely BA's you've got going there! I am very impressed at the volume of models you've managed to produce at that standard. Very inspiring!

For the red I prime black all over, then spray Vallejo German Red Brown primer from above only, then German Dark Yellow primer on select highlight areas like the top of the shoulder pads. Then a coat of Vallejo Model Air Red RLM23 all over, which is quite transparent so the previous tones show through giving a deep, dark effect. Edge highlight with Vallejo Model Color Amarantha Red, some chips etc and done!

Someone has been watching too many posing films ... lol

 

Otherwise, take that out of it, and that's one awesome kneeling pose :)

[Prefect Apollyon]

Brilliant stuff!

[Smurfben]

These models are beautifully painted! I love the deeper red you've achieved! It creates real atmosphere

[deathspectersgt7]

The kneeling pose screams awesome!!!!

[LutherMax]

I can't believe how long it's been since I started these but here are the finished 'first wave' of Death Company...

 

I wanted them to have a no-nonsense look without all the 'dangly bits', and be slightly worn with dents and scratches but not overly damaged as they're not supposed to last long in battle...

Very nice man !! Nice to see you over here as well 8) The poses are looking very cool.. Making me want to paint up a Blood Angel now 8)

[infyrana]

Wonderfully done.  I like the way the black has come out, and you've managed to pick out all the details in a very subtle way that gives them a highly effective smooth appearance.

[Skrundle87]

Great stuff, particularly like the one down on one knee with the swords up, it's got a good feel to it

[GhostMalone]

this is amazing work, I love the pure black death company.

very dark and inspiring, a embodiment of Sanguinius final battle.

I don't know how I missed this! Like Veteran Sergeant said, darker Blood Angels look so good

 

It' not often you see Mark VIII armour (never looked quite right in my eyes), but I do like that one!

[reckoning]

Incredible work!

 

Two questions:

 

1. What is your recipe for black?

 

2. Where is that RB Flamer from?

[LutherMax]

Thanks for the comments all. I was going for a darker and more subtle theme to what you normally see on Death Company and it sounds like that has come across so I'm happy :)

 

@ Sincain, break out the red paint!

 

@ reckoning the black was pretty simple...

 

1) Prime black

2) Drybrush VMC* 166 Dark Grey

3) Drybrush VMC 164 Dark Bluegrey

4) Heavy Nuln Oil wash

5) Edge highlight VMC 162 Basalt Grey

 

The flamer is from forgeplanet.com

[deathspectersgt7]

Still say Awesome !!!! Still love the kneeling Marine.

[marine7312000]

Very very impressive.

[Inquisitor Eisenhorn]

These are some seriously nice Blood Angels man.  Seriously nice.

[reckoning]

Thank you for the info

[Greyall]

That flamer turret...I had dreams of the galaxy on fire! It's...beautiful.
