Soulcrusher6669 Posted August 20, 2015 Author Share Posted August 20, 2015 Up today we have a chaplain dreadnought: http://i842.photobucket.com/albums/zz345/Soulcrusher6669/Dark%20Angels/3cac9262-b724-4be8-9b8c-93d4d79f23ae_zpsu919fsqw.jpg http://i842.photobucket.com/albums/zz345/Soulcrusher6669/Dark%20Angels/2354384c-4b95-461a-aeed-ecbeef86e2ea_zps2ehafzls.jpg http://i842.photobucket.com/albums/zz345/Soulcrusher6669/Dark%20Angels/664aff1b-afcd-4510-8214-accde5478db6_zpsmxukfbew.jpg I took both arms off because I knew from the start I wanted mine to have that extra cool power fist from the venerable dreadnought kit and a twin-linked heavy flamer, which I custom built using heavy flamers from a defiler kit: http://i842.photobucket.com/albums/zz345/Soulcrusher6669/Dark%20Angels/a740bed9-74e5-49a6-96f3-4498a075df5f_zpsz3quowkz.jpg http://i842.photobucket.com/albums/zz345/Soulcrusher6669/Dark%20Angels/f1e00d52-d577-4e57-990a-8fc965a7266c_zpsmdjm6ujs.jpg http://i842.photobucket.com/albums/zz345/Soulcrusher6669/Dark%20Angels/19668366-7243-48a3-8060-dac40ae00213_zpsovmxwiu7.jpg http://i842.photobucket.com/albums/zz345/Soulcrusher6669/Dark%20Angels/5bacc810-9c86-4303-9a8b-1d27928532c7_zpsavr8gmue.jpg http://i842.photobucket.com/albums/zz345/Soulcrusher6669/Dark%20Angels/863bab8e-2bb3-497b-904c-bcf6c7c5c6e3_zpssjt10b1l.jpg The next thing I did was find a suitable base for the model. I purchased a scibor miniatures cthulu base because the stone base fits in with the bases on my other dark angels models, and it’s flat, which makes sticking the dreadnought on a lot easier: http://i842.photobucket.com/albums/zz345/Soulcrusher6669/Dark%20Angels/170ca10c-a06c-4822-8333-c8b9923dbce6_zpsjtgxwydi.jpg Then I chiseled off the cthulu emblem, making it look like part of the rock: http://i842.photobucket.com/albums/zz345/Soulcrusher6669/Dark%20Angels/e9caf47b-6c82-4745-ab4d-88eb687d4882_zpsx83vgcvv.jpg http://i842.photobucket.com/albums/zz345/Soulcrusher6669/Dark%20Angels/c3ef1315-84bb-426f-8261-fe0bdba73cbc_zps2va7mdut.jpg A little bit of paint later and my chaplain dreadnought was complete: http://i842.photobucket.com/albums/zz345/Soulcrusher6669/Dark%20Angels/879fcde6-41f0-4229-a873-358fbc1f8825_zps7vjxws74.jpg http://i842.photobucket.com/albums/zz345/Soulcrusher6669/Dark%20Angels/9efe2b0b-5e40-4d6b-84aa-54f35ef6fcdd_zpscnf3us1i.jpg http://i842.photobucket.com/albums/zz345/Soulcrusher6669/Dark%20Angels/e70f752b-eb5b-4d6f-8ac1-15df857b9a17_zpshs0z0qlg.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SW1 Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 The arms are looking like a different colour to the body. Was this intentional? The blue shading on the feather detail looks good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soulcrusher6669 Posted August 21, 2015 Author Share Posted August 21, 2015 The different shading on the arms was not intentional (although it's not that pronounced after some clearcoat). Once I finished my chaplain dreadnought, I took the power claw I had left over and used it on the dreadnought I built from the venerable dreadnought kit: http://i842.photobucket.com/albums/zz345/Soulcrusher6669/Dark%20Angels/05064ace-6049-46c2-b074-2a6a0697b902_zpswzfwznq3.jpg http://i842.photobucket.com/albums/zz345/Soulcrusher6669/Dark%20Angels/b9482362-c3bb-4b08-9962-ac6ede008856_zpsprjwctsn.jpg http://i842.photobucket.com/albums/zz345/Soulcrusher6669/Dark%20Angels/8ef4f278-dd65-45f1-b39b-57e2d569cb79_zpshaaqyrwc.jpg http://i842.photobucket.com/albums/zz345/Soulcrusher6669/Dark%20Angels/e1ab6b81-6022-4bb2-ad32-398f369c9315_zps4ifu7so0.jpg I also painted up my 4th tactical squad (with new bases): http://i842.photobucket.com/albums/zz345/Soulcrusher6669/Dark%20Angels/DA20Tactical204th200005_zpsat25qwyr.jpg http://i842.photobucket.com/albums/zz345/Soulcrusher6669/Dark%20Angels/DA20Tactical204th200006_zpsucxeusg8.jpg http://i842.photobucket.com/albums/zz345/Soulcrusher6669/Dark%20Angels/DA20Tactical204th200007_zpsmp63wwmg.jpg At this point all they need is a rhino, which I am in the process of scratch building as of this post.

Soulcrusher6669 Posted August 24, 2015 Author Share Posted August 24, 2015 I finished scratch building the rhino for my 4th tactical squad. The majority of the rhino’s construction is cardstock, with some plastic dark angels emblems, as well as a few other bits and pieces: http://i842.photobucket.com/albums/zz345/Soulcrusher6669/Dark%20Angels/aa1e6a90-5af5-49cc-9c92-8878cb172634_zpsuzcxwg3u.jpg http://i842.photobucket.com/albums/zz345/Soulcrusher6669/Dark%20Angels/cf9f6c8f-173d-48f9-9b60-8f99b9f904cb_zpsyjuq7cga.jpg http://i842.photobucket.com/albums/zz345/Soulcrusher6669/Dark%20Angels/3914762d-07e6-459f-ace6-8901d808738e_zpshrwtyixf.jpg http://i842.photobucket.com/albums/zz345/Soulcrusher6669/Dark%20Angels/f4e6b173-ca04-478f-919f-348d67bf4489_zpseqrhewbu.jpg http://i842.photobucket.com/albums/zz345/Soulcrusher6669/Dark%20Angels/2213e4cf-8fdd-4cad-9a8b-b85dbcd60f4a_zpspdpp0zzy.jpg I built up the outside design of the rhino using layering (that’s why I used my space wolf rhino pattern…it was the easiest to see where to cut). The reason I used this method is so that the pattern will show through the paint: http://i842.photobucket.com/albums/zz345/Soulcrusher6669/Dark%20Angels/5521f789-608f-438c-ba20-be3d3005397f_zpslfkacnuy.jpg http://i842.photobucket.com/albums/zz345/Soulcrusher6669/Dark%20Angels/3b215a5a-8b04-4cda-a81e-09e8e4ab3479_zpsjkcrdkhw.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soulcrusher6669 Posted February 11, 2016 Author Share Posted February 11, 2016 A while back I purchased some scibor miniatures terrain that I thought would go great with my dark angels army…here’s some links that show what they look like (I’ll posts pics of my finished terrain at a later date): http://www.sciborminiatures.com/pow.php?absol=1&co=i/2012/big/lion_ruins_terrain_02.jpg http://www.sciborminiatures.com/pow.php?absol=1&co=i/2012/big/templar_terrain_02.jpg http://www.sciborminiatures.com/pow.php?absol=1&co=i/2015/big/angel_temple_ruins_set_2_01.jpg The reason I mention these is that they also make some flying bases that match up with these terrain pieces, something I thought would go pretty sweet with some nephalim jet fighters (when I get around to buying some). I purchased a total of five bases, three of which were these smallish 40 mm bases: http://i842.photobucket.com/albums/zz345/Soulcrusher6669/Dark%20Angels/4c77a9e5-753d-4ff7-8b5f-8f1277c2ecc1_zpsh3nboqvj.jpg I figured they’d need a bigger footprint to hold up a nephalim, so I bought some plain 60 mm bases, sanded down the 40mm bases as close to the top of the bases as I could, then I super glued them to the 60 mm bases. After that I added some pieces of slate and some sand they were ready to paint: http://i842.photobucket.com/albums/zz345/Soulcrusher6669/Dark%20Angels/DA%20Flying%20Base%200002.jpg The remaining two were the much larger 60 mm bases: http://i842.photobucket.com/albums/zz345/Soulcrusher6669/Dark%20Angels/DA%20Flying%20Base%200003.jpg http://i842.photobucket.com/albums/zz345/Soulcrusher6669/Dark%20Angels/DA%20Flying%20Base%200004.jpg For the paint, I kept it simple: graveyard earth drybrushed with ushabti bone for the statues, mournfang brown drybrushed with codex grey for the dirt/ground areas, abaddon black drybrushed with codex grey for the larger rocks, mournfang brown drybrushed with ushabti bone and highlights of skull white for the skulls (I added some skull white so they would stand out against the statues), mournfang brown drybrushed with graveyard earth for the plant branches, and moot green with a wash of thraka green for the leaves/plants: http://i842.photobucket.com/albums/zz345/Soulcrusher6669/Dark%20Angels/DA%20Flying%20Base%200005.jpg http://i842.photobucket.com/albums/zz345/Soulcrusher6669/Dark%20Angels/DA%20Flying%20Base%200006.jpg http://i842.photobucket.com/albums/zz345/Soulcrusher6669/Dark%20Angels/DA%20Flying%20Base%200007.jpg http://i842.photobucket.com/albums/zz345/Soulcrusher6669/Dark%20Angels/DA%20Flying%20Base%200008.jpg http://i842.photobucket.com/albums/zz345/Soulcrusher6669/Dark%20Angels/DA%20Flying%20Base%200009.jpg http://i842.photobucket.com/albums/zz345/Soulcrusher6669/Dark%20Angels/DA%20Flying%20Base%200011.jpg http://i842.photobucket.com/albums/zz345/Soulcrusher6669/Dark%20Angels/DA%20Flying%20Base%200012.jpg http://i842.photobucket.com/albums/zz345/Soulcrusher6669/Dark%20Angels/DA%20Flying%20Base%200013.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
