Samurai_Eduh Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Hi everyone. Long time lurker here. I've jumped on the 30k band wagon with the release of Betrayal at Calth! I've decided to go with the Dark Angels for this project and I just got done the first batch of tactical marines. I get bored easily, so I find it much easier to paint small batches of models, paint something completely different, and then paint more of the original project. I've rambled on enough, here is the photo. C&C is always welcome! http://i.imgur.com/BMgRXr9.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/316843-samurai_eduhs-30k-dark-angels/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
LutherMax Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Awesome! Live the helmet on the marine in front on the right - are the helmets and shoulder pads from the FW upgrade pack? Also are Heresy-era Dark Angels black rather than dark green (I'm not familiar with their fluff), or was that a personal choice?

Samurai_Eduh Posted December 6, 2015 Author Share Posted December 6, 2015 Thanks for the comment! The pads, helmets and torsos are FW upgrades. Pre-heresy, the Dark Angels had a black color scheme.

LutherMax Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 I prefer it to the dark green actually. Why'd they change to dark green?! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/316843-samurai_eduhs-30k-dark-angels/#findComment-4245245 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Widowmaker Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Excellent work Samurai_Eduh! Seeing those DA pieces painted up makes me rethink picking some up for my Fallen! Looking forward to seeing more.

feuer_faust Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 I dig the Rouge Trader-era bolter marking on the shoulders. :P Very clean paint job overall, to boot.

That Guy Matt Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 I prefer it to the dark green actually. Why'd they change to dark green?! Lion, Ferrus Manus and Corax all turned up to a party and decided at least one of them had to go change.

boyd Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Per the fluff, the Dark Angels were black and red during the heresy. When the Lion was found, the Legion slowly started converting to green armor and heraldry to symbolize the green caliban forests. The Lion remained in black armor. Generally, the Terran born members remained in black armor and the first couple of recruit classes from Caliban were in black armor.

I heard it was the Lion and Luther, and the party absolutely.. *ahem* ..rocked I think the more serious answer to the question was, that they wanted to set themselves apart from the Fallen, who didn`t have the courtesy of changing their own armour after going full heretic.
