cypher 89 Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 So like many people ive jumped on the heresy band wagon , but unlike many people ive chosen a less established legion( rules wise) the 1st legion the dark angels. so first onto how ive decided to break the models up terminator character - blade chaplin 15 tactical marines- sarg combi weapon 15 tactical marines- sarg combi weapon 5 terminators- various power weapons contemptor- 2 assault cannons also added fw champion and signal characters ive also just brought a 2nd calth box set, ill be breaking these down to make the 2 x 15 man taticals up to 20 each and the other 20 marines im going to make into vets with different weapons. ive also got 5 spare bods which ill be making into a heavy support squad with missile launchers so here what I got done so far all comments welcome. c cheers all for looking.

The_Gorgon Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Nice start I like how you've included the robes classic dark angels touch Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/316605-pre-heresy-dark-angels-updated-261215-lorgar-finished-yay/#findComment-4239379 Share on other sites More sharing options...
rendingon1+ Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 They look simply great. Our HH colour scheme is awesome and you nailed it brother. Sargeant in tabard definitely adds character to a unit (no that without sargeant it wouldn't be cool). Can you tell me how you achieved this muted black?

depthcharge12 Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Nice stuff man, good to see another dark angel. I'd like to hear your black recipe too. Edit: I recommend painting your bolters red ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/316605-pre-heresy-dark-angels-updated-261215-lorgar-finished-yay/#findComment-4239417 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Dimetrius Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 I've never been very hot on the FW shoulder pads, and now I see better why. The way the emblem hangs over the rim is rather distracting. Hope FW comes out with a dedicated decal sheet soon.That being said, your DA's look perfect. Going to try to get a similar look when I start with mine!

Malakai Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Oh these are really really nice. Gritty but in a clean way. Like a good medium between 'Eavy Metal and FW. Well done dude!

cypher 89 Posted November 30, 2015 Author Share Posted November 30, 2015 im considering painting the bolters red but decided against it until they get official rules and paint scheme from FW , this is also why ive not done any heraldry on my sergeant , but ive got a good idea how theirs will look as ive also put them in robes to show them as caliban born. The mk iv shoulder pad I got from fw are the only ones that slightly hang over at the bottom, but all in all I really like the look I got, im just finishing up all the characters and terminators then the contempters not far behind. ok a few have asked about the way I got my black its really really simple and only a few stages to get the basic colours base coat black heavy dry brush the whole model Eshin grey dry brush administratum grey pick out all the trims in ironbreaker pick out any red parts then wash the whole model with nuln black with the wash phase I didn't do a heavy wash, just enough to tone back the greys , the administratum grey dry brush we did creates a natural highlight throught the wash. I will get some picks up of the step by step as im just starting my next squad later in the week. cheers all Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/316605-pre-heresy-dark-angels-updated-261215-lorgar-finished-yay/#findComment-4239595 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calas Typhon Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Probably some of the best painted GC/Heresy Dark Angels I have seen so far! Looking forward to more!

augustmanifesto Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 From what I can see -- these look great. But it's hard to tell because the pictures are so small and won't seem to load a larger version. Would love to see some bigger pictures!

depthcharge12 Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Also interesting you chose the larger wings, I opted for the smaller veteran ones: http://i911.photobucket.com/albums/ac316/treacyjohn2/c7411f20c0c0adee40a6e70528794b00_zps2916c00d.jpg Also, how did you do the weathering on the boots/shin plates?

cypher 89 Posted December 4, 2015 Author Share Posted December 4, 2015 im gonna try retake pics on my mobile now im home and re upload them, I had to email them to myself which seems to have made them smaller . yeah I choose the larger withs for this one and I got another which im going to go with the smaller wings, the weathering on the shins /boots is just a couple of different light dry brushes till it builds up like a natural dusty/muddy look.

Loddfafnir113 Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 So after arguing with myself for days and deciding that I wasn't going to do Dark Angels for one of the sides in BaC, I spot this thread, and my mind is completely unmade. Cheers for that :P You've done a lovely job with these. Swapping the chainblade in the fist out for a sword is a fantastic idea, really works well on him.
