vampyrerodent Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 Just thought I would share with you all! My entire Dark Angels complement was on display for at my local Warhammer store. It comes out to a base of 9909pts not counting upgrades and such. Blog Link in case you don't want to click the one in my signature, which has more pictures...

shabbadoo Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 Nice reactive armor on your vehicles. Looks like they are made of 1/4" Evergreen/Plastruct tile sheets with holes drilled in the corners. Simple, yet very effective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
egon1six Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 Loving your ravenwing bases on the land speeders. How did you accomplish this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaplain Raeven Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 Impressive work! It must've taken ages to paint such a force! So to echo Master Avoghai: how long did it take to get such a force? I spot the occasional green-rimmed base between the collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vampyrerodent Posted April 23, 2016 Author Share Posted April 23, 2016 Thanks for all the kind responses! Really nice!We need to meet so that we gather your 4th with my 5th! Really nice collection... How many time to build it up? I started the 4th Company way back in 2003, jumping from Imperial Guard Astra Militarum and Sisters Adepta Sororitas. I have been working on them on and off since then. More off than on. Nice reactive armor on your vehicles. Looks like they are made of 1/4" Evergreen/Plastruct tile sheets with holes drilled in the corners. Simple, yet very effective. You are correct. The simpler the better. Paint can easily mask small mistakes. I use it across the line of vehicles excepting the Land Raiders. Most of my vehicles are fully equipped with most or all options. I try to be completely WYSIWIG. Loving your ravenwing bases on the land speeders. How did you accomplish this? Here is a link to my blog describing exactly what I did for them. It takes a bit of work, but it comes out great, and it's fairly easy. Impressive work! It must've taken ages to paint such a force! So to echo Master Avoghai: how long did it take to get such a force? I spot the occasional green-rimmed base between the collection. Yeah, about 13 years in total. I am old school, literally, so yeah you see the Goblin Green bases in there. Not any more though. The last box set, Dark Vengeance, really put the impetus to finish them. I painted up the tactical squad in there, and from there I only needed another 3 squads to be complete, aside from the transports. So then I just pushed ahead and experimented more with the squads in regards to modeling. It made it that more enjoyable and engaging. Also, just knowing I was that close to having a complete company really got me to work on it. After 6 squads are done, it's easy to get burnt out... Which leads me to my next post...

vampyrerodent Posted April 23, 2016 Author Share Posted April 23, 2016 Since I really can't expand the 4th Company beyond what I have already done; I have decided to begin work on another company of Marines, the 6th! Any further tactical squads will be from the 6th Company, Assault Squads from the 8th, and Devastators from th 9th. I really needed some grav weaponry in the army. So, I decided to add another squad and the 6th Company was my choice to represent the new Tactical Squads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
