sockwithaticket Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Oh me oh my, that is shaping up nicely indeed. Love the freehand, the gold blood drop on the right panel is great.

Brother Pheidias Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Can't believe no-one commented on that Graviton cannon, it's ace! And the Venator is mindbogglingly beautiful. The orange-y tone is great, also marks them as different from post-heresy-Angels, and the darker reds of the Word Bearers that seem to be everywhere these days :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/316647-heresy-blood-angels/page/2/#findComment-4293420 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SGK Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Seconded the old skool red is very nice to see, perhaps you could use terracotta for a base and work up for the destroyers? Grav cannon looks meaty and the "racing" stripe breaks up the gun shield nicely. I've not got anything on hand but I seem to recall that the Crux has always been a mark of veterancy failing that a skull symbol also does a good job and is carried on over to the post heresy blood angels. keep up the good work i am enjoying this Plog Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/316647-heresy-blood-angels/page/2/#findComment-4293475 Share on other sites More sharing options...
koran Posted February 7, 2016 Author Share Posted February 7, 2016 Thanks for the comments guys. Â I wanted to go for a more orangy shade as I remember it fondly from my first model I ever painted back in 2nd edition. Â OK, Venator is done: http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m16/NeilCollins_/Blood%20Angels%20HH/IMG_2417_zpsgrs5ygmu.jpg http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m16/NeilCollins_/Blood%20Angels%20HH/IMG_2416_zpsvfgq6qq0.jpg http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m16/NeilCollins_/Blood%20Angels%20HH/IMG_2418_zpssm747na9.jpg http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m16/NeilCollins_/Blood%20Angels%20HH/IMG_2419_zpswmwgmerp.jpg http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m16/NeilCollins_/Blood%20Angels%20HH/IMG_2424_zpstvef4vvx.jpg http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m16/NeilCollins_/Blood%20Angels%20HH/IMG_2423_zpssm5xbgao.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/316647-heresy-blood-angels/page/2/#findComment-4297700 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Pheidias Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 That is magnificent, the gild wreath and numerals, subtle weathering... Perfection.

Ovidius Incertus Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 That weathering is clutch. Â Gets your point across without being overdone. Â And the freehand blood drop and filigree are awesome. Â You've got a real talent for freehand on these models!

koran Posted February 29, 2016 Author Share Posted February 29, 2016 Cheers for the comments guys. Â As slowly as Im going (so it may not seem that way) it really helps to keep me motivated.Here are the first five of my tactical marines (though I now worry getting the unit of 15 done will take forever). Â They have been true scaled (mostly in the legs) and posed/converted to make them all look individual while still obviously belonging together. Â The NMM is feeling better and its getting easier to feel my way through it (though still a lot of space for improvement).

Sabadin Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 The NMM is feeling better and its getting easier to feel my way through it  That's quite the understatement, you do your legion's renown for artistry proud.

Morngrym Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Well, I have a few comments... I'll start with the tank - the weathering is just enough without going overboard. The legion number and wing/tear-drop emblems on the sides are spectacular. It is amazing how a couple small sections like that can really make a vehicle pop. On to the tactical squad - again, I like what you've done with these guys. The scrapes and gouges on the armor look really nice. I think this is the first BA squad I've seen with the new shoulder pads. Keep up the good work! You are actually getting things done quickly in my view (but I'm a slow painter, so I guess its all perspective!)... Edit: Forgot to add - the sarge looks awesome! The use of the 40K-era torso with the rest of the heresy gear makes this fellow look like one bad dude. He can definitely clear a path of destruction through a group of traitors whenever the opportunity arises!
