Hey guys and gals of te dark angels forum.

 

Since the release of the new codex a few years ago, I have liked the dark angels. I attempted to start a DA army back then, but with my poor painting skills and a bad lot of sepia wash, I gave up at that time.

Now with a few years more painting skill and about 50,000 more points under my belt, I am gonna try this again.

 

So I went into my box of mysteries and pulled out:

1 bike chaplain

1 raven wing command squad (no banner yet)

14 bikes

2 attack bikes

2 land speeders

1 termie chaplain

4 old plastic termies (not sure what edition they are)

1 land raider ares

1 land raider crusader

And 1 le chaplain from dark vengence.

 

 

I've also got a ravenwing battle force, 3 boxes of ravenwing knights and a land speeder vengence

 

This will be the start of my angels of redemption.

Of the extra bikes, I made 2 bike librarians.

So only a single bike is left over at This point.

 

Now this is where I am torn.

So I paint them all up as angels of redemption, the half green/half white or do I paint the bikes are all green and termies as all white, or vise versa?

Suggestions?

 

And some pics just for fun

This would've been WAY more helpful 3 months ago...... ;)

 

Seriously though, enjoy your stay and avoid Cell 42 if at all possible :tu:

 

Cheers,

Depending on how this goes for me, we will see where I sir with next a years etl.

Now I just need lots of termies...,

Ask Dark Rage, he would be glad to help as he resculpt entirelery this type of termites to fit in his consecrators army

 

 

As for your army Arizona, depends of the direction you want to give? DW? RW? Greenwing? Mix?

 

 

Concerning the paint, here are the bikes I have painted years ago for someone

Hope this helps

Ok so the pics above May help a little.

 

I've closer shots if you need, feel free to ask.

Awesome. Thank you. That's pretty much what I'm going for. I was thinking of doing my knights as all green then doing the deathwing knights as all white.

Well, I remember the v2 termi plastic sets, it showed on the edge a AoR termi with the half schedule... Maybe it would be a good idea to keep this.

As for the knights, you could consider that, as the most elevated warriors of their chapter, they decided to keep the black livery of the former legion in memory of the treason of Caliban and paint them black with a green/white tabard.

 

It would bring a little difference without breaking the coherency... Because between green termis, white termis, green/white bikes... The brain of your opponent will hurt :wacko:

 

I've painted my DW black and I prefer because it makes them more sinister particularly the knights.

 

I plan to build a small AoR force (actually I plan to paint a 1000pts force of each successor and use them as fluffy count as WS or IH allies for my DA) and they will represent account as WS force. So lots of bikes for me too ;)
