Charlo Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 You know Luca, you may be responsible for me buying a Contemptor soon. That and my love of Dreads.

Aqui Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 You know Luca, you may be responsible for me buying a Contemptor soon. That and my love of Dreads. I have a deep love of Dreads (a regular BfM one, a Veteran Mark IV "Box Dread", an Ironclad Mark IV "box", a Contemptor, a veteran Contemptor and an "Eddy" ) Luca's Dread is so well thought out - the pose, the colour scheme, the choice of "improvised weapons" Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/288055-starting-blood-angels-wip/page/4/#findComment-4034294 Share on other sites More sharing options...
LutherMax Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Always loved that Elysian buggy. I have one in fact but was never quite sure what to do with it. This seems like a good idea, look forward to seeing how you make it work SM scale...

Luca Pacioli Posted May 8, 2015 Author Share Posted May 8, 2015 Cheers guys! I'll definitely be getting another contemptor, or two (lots more ideas for posing) Â It was tough to crowbar in the driver to the 'attack bike' it works well enough, though it will be interesting to see if the gunner will fit in the space...

Luca Pacioli Posted May 13, 2015 Author Share Posted May 13, 2015 Nearly done with these guys; had to extend the rear base to accommodate the size of the marine and I need to tidy up the greenstuff and put some rivets on it to tie it to the rest of the model. C&C welcome as always! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/288055-starting-blood-angels-wip/page/4/#findComment-4041523 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luca Pacioli Posted June 5, 2015 Author Share Posted June 5, 2015 Hi everyone! A little update to the attack bike (things are very busy at the moment). I've nearly finished the gunner and have started on little bits of the vehicle. C& C welcome as always!

LutherMax Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Very cool! I'm quite surprised how well it's worked considering the FW Guard-scale buggy. I may have to steal this idea!

Dolchiate Remembrancer Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 Loving the richness of the red and the brightness of the yellow! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/288055-starting-blood-angels-wip/page/4/#findComment-4073671 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TyTyMcFly Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 The color scheme is great! One thing I noticed: while the chainsword bayonets might be the most over-the-top/badass/Heretic-slaying/genius tool ever, the one on the meltagun looks a little out of place. If it's already in the paint process it's too late to add some sort of bracket to lower it out of the way. However, it would be really cool to see char marks on the end of it, and the flamer bits. More so with the flamer. Anything that shoots that absurd template we know and love would have a crazy amount of collateral heat on that chainsword. Just my opinion. Otherwise, all of the models have really well done individual movements and poses that make me want to finish my assault squads, finally! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/288055-starting-blood-angels-wip/page/4/#findComment-4075364 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luca Pacioli Posted June 10, 2015 Author Share Posted June 10, 2015 Cheers everyone! LutherMax: Do it! The driver requires some pretty drastic work and the platform at the rear needs extending but I think it works well. Dolchiate Remembrancer: Thanks! I'm not sure if the yellow is a little too bright, but we'll see how I feel when I come back to the model (first time painting yellow). TyTyMcFly: Thanks for the comments; I may well change it and lower it now you mention, certainly need to paint some charred effects on it! Here it is completed, it's also my first vow; C&C welcome as always! Apologies for the poor photo quality, some more weathering also needs to be done on the gunners legs.

Luca Pacioli Posted June 12, 2015 Author Share Posted June 12, 2015 On to my next project; transports for my first tactical (vet) squad. Because the Sarg is a vet, and because BA like to bling things up, I decided to create a little back story for him. I will get to it when I produce the miniature itself but his heraldry is a winged chainaxe... I've decided to start with his squad's drop pod as a sort of tester to see if the idea will work. The aim is for a complete second company so I still have the winged chalice evident but the main heraldry is the sarg's. The green stuff is smoother than it looks on the photo, but I'm also hoping that the extreme weathering I will be attempting will help cover up my first attempt with the modeling. It will go towards the ETL once I've finished modeling but any C&C welcome!
