Blood Angels Devastators

[Brother Desultor]

After much lurking on this forum, and honing of long rusted painting skills, I've finally reached the point where I'm comfortable with sharing some of my recent WIP.

My eternal gratitude goes to LutherMax of this parish who generously shared his painting process for Blood Angels, and inspired/encouraged me to adapt it for my own use. I've almost completed the other members of this squad and will add them once I've done so.

Thanks for looking.

Nice.

[The Unseen]

That is a beautiful red. Whats the process?

[Brother Desultor]

Thank you. The process is based on LutherMax's which you can find on his blog here - http://www.themightybrush.com/how-to-paint-blood-angels-part-i/.

Here are a couple more of the remaining squad in progress:

Wondrous to behold! You've taken that process to another level!

 

The deep blue on the helmets is lovely too...

Praise indeed. And thanks again for sharing your process.

[Arkaniss]

Very nice indeed! :D I always like seeing a selection of Blood Angels with their different helmet colours - the Devastators blue is highly under-represented.

[Lord Commander Eidolon]

I really like the deep blue, very rich and vibrant. Great job!

[Capt Carl]

Nice. That coat of yellow in your process is very interesting. Looking at the finished one I can see how it adds a lot. Awesome figures!

Another BA painter! Awesome. Really like how the colours turned out for both the red and blue. Look forward to seeing the painted models. 

[BrokenRecord]

Simply stunning. That blue is insane!

And here (finally) is the finished Devastator squad:

Typical! As soon as I posted the pictures, I noticed a few things that have been missed. Ah well....Up next (assuming I don't get sidetracked by another project) are these guys:

They look really good fella.

 

 

If i could offer some C&C, it'd be to pick out the weapon casing in another colour, black maybe. Just to break up the big block of metallics.

C&C is always welcome - and you are quite right, it does need something to break up all that metal. I appreciate the suggestion.

Absolutely incredible. I'll second the blue! How do you do that?!

[Brother Desultor]

Thank you. Here's my recipe for the blue:

 

1. Grey primer.

2. Basecoat with Game Air Ultramarine Blue (72.722).

3. Spray shading with Game Air Imperial Blue (72.720).

4. Spray highlights with Game Air Magic Blue (72.721).

5. Spray another highlight (more focused) with Model Air Light Sea Blue (71.089).

7. Brush the cracks and crevices with Imperial Blue.

7. Spray Model Air Blue (71.004) all over. This colour is moderately translucent, and I used just 1 coat but more can be added at your discretion.

8. Edge highlight with Game Air Magic Blue (72.721).

Great job Ophamion, can't wait to see the Space Hulk termies - I must get mine done one of these days!
