Harrycane's dark angel army update

Recommended Posts

hi i'm new to warhammer 40 k and relatively new to the hobby (messed around with wfb as an early teen but didn't get too involved).

Seeing as i recently acquired a camera and finised my first deathwing terminator squad (i want to have loads of deathwing stuff because they are awesome) I decided to start a little thread here so i could share the progress i make paint wise and army wise. And hopefully this will encourage me to make regular updates to the army!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I like you it still feels DA despite having teh trademark Angelwings of Blood Angels. The one thing I'm not sold about it's the sword. It's bit too out of proportion and takes away from the wings as center of atention, IMHO:

Welcome to the Rock - great work on your DW, the eyes (as mentioned already) are very well done, as are the bases! Cant wait to see more.

An interesting take on Belial; I like the idea, and am very intreguied to see the painted results

Amazing models. Basing is awesome.

 

But I do agree with Chaplain Lucifer's comment re Belial's sword. It looks more like a giant Ork cleaver.

 

It's too wide plus it doesn't look like the typical DA type sword with their distinctive diamond-shape near the pointy end.

 

I'm assuming it's wip :)

 

Greenstuff modelling is excellent. He should look great on the tabletop.

 

Cheers

I'll have to be the dissenter, unfortunately I feel like the huge wings are just way too much, along with the massive sword (and the winged guard). It's just too over the top for me. I don't mind the idea of wings, they display prominently on our Angel of Death figure, but they'd have to be much smaller for me to feel they make sense or not extended out like that. Also, too much fluttering cloth, the stuff wrapped around the storm bolter is part of where it goes into the "too far" realm for me. If it was all flowing as if moved by the same wind source, maybe it would make more sense to me, but it seems like it is all over the place with no one direction of movement.

 

I really like your base model though, it is a good choice of parts.

no problem bryan, to each their own. i think it's in my personality to exagerate things. I always feel the need to make characters stand out, i changed the sword too because alot of people were kind enough to give their opinions. Now his sword looks alot better, i probably wouldn't of changed it if i had not made this post, so having others opinions is great and i think it will help my modelling in general to hear the advice and opinions of the unforgiven on these forums! I had a look at your dark angel successor chapter! they look amazing the free hand is incredible! I hope you won't mind me taking inspiration from some of your work =).

belial is finished!! (minus his base wich is still wip) the sword still looks kind of big from this angle but from a normal above view it looks fine.
