Zeller Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 Oh my. Could you give a quick run down on how you paint your blood drops? I love the smokey black armor too. Is that a result of the highlighting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bevulf Posted October 31, 2016 Author Share Posted October 31, 2016 Thanks guys @Zeller - yes the smoky effect on armour is the result of both highliting and shading. As I mentioned earlier I use andrea black paint set to paint black. Andrea paints are very mat and this also increase the "smoky" effect. When you mix the colours the way they show in the attached leaflet you will receive very subtle transitions between shading and highlights - I really recommend this set ! My blood drops are really simple - I repeat the process not only on blood drops but I use it on eve lenses, visors etc. 1. cover blood drop entirely with abaddon black 2. paint wazdakka red on 3/4 of the drop 3. paint wazdakka/evil sunz scarlet (50/50) on half of the drop 4. paint evil sunz scarlet on 1/4 of the blood drop 5. paint wild raider red on 1/8 of the blood drop 6. paint wild raider red/yriel yellow (50/50) on approx. 1/12 of the drop 7. paint a subtle white scar line at the very bottom and add a tiny white dot at the top of the drop it's not difficult but is time consuming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paikis Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 The new technical paints are really good for gems as well. Paint gem black, colour lower right half in the new silver, Stormhost Silver, paint entire gem with Spiritstone Red technical paint. If you went too light on the Spiritstone, do another coat. Or just do what I've started doing, paint the whole gem with Stormhost Silver, then paint the whole gem with Spiritstone Red and call it done. Still looks quite good without having to do 9 different layers and then a wash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warsmith Uveron Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 They look great. The contrast you have with the base stands out, and makes the guys just pop, fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interrogator Stobz Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 Hey Stevulf, I wondered where you had got to, sneaking around painting the most awesome Blood Angles is a worthy destination. I will surely be back here more often, please keep sharing, you are an inspiration to us all. Bobz :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bevulf Posted November 5, 2016 Author Share Posted November 5, 2016 Ahhh Brother Bobz I missed you too Unfortunately my old Dark Angels thread was somehow removed as I cannot find it in the annals of BoC Meanwhile I finished DC Chap (love the sculpt!) and decided to change my background for pictures. I think darker works better ! http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x240/bevulf/IMG_2392.1_zpspti7tuns.jpg http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x240/bevulf/IMG_2393.1_zpsrngexsct.jpg http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x240/bevulf/IMG_2395_zpsz1lpxaua.jpg http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x240/bevulf/IMG_2396_zpsvo05iar9.jpg http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x240/bevulf/IMG_2398.1_zpspivgbhtk.jpg My army so far: http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x240/bevulf/IMG_2401_zpseq5cprh6.jpg Now I am a little bit undecided what to do next - more DC marines or Sanguinor (still have metal one) / Sanguinary Guard - what do you guys think ?

LutherMax Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 Great looking Chaplain! And agree on the darker background, similar to what I use. As for what next, will this be a force for gaming or just a painting project? I like Sanguinary Guard a lot (from both points of view!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bevulf Posted November 5, 2016 Author Share Posted November 5, 2016 I am a painter only so this force is purely for display I used to play 40k a lot in the past but now I only paint and read the fluff some additional angles of my chaplain: http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x240/bevulf/IMG_2404_zpsh1dppdvq.jpg http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x240/bevulf/IMG_2407_zpsbrtaz77l.jpg http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x240/bevulf/IMG_2406_zpsztqhdxcu.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LutherMax Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 Looks great! What are the bases made of - cork? As for what next, if for display I guess I would go for Sanguinary Guard as you already have some Death Company. The SG really are great models.

DarkMark Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 I'm sure a Ball pred, DC dread, an assault unit, or a unit of SG would make super looking additions to this eye candy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lasuria Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 I just cannot seem to decide if I'm inspired or jealous when I see this level of painting skill displayed ... It is indeed gorgeous As for the "what next" question I'd say a touch of gold is needed in this army Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helias_Tancred Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 Wow! Quite impressive blood angel models! hold on a sec while I wipe up the drool ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenrykus Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 I am in awe of your abilities, bevulf! Your models are gorgeous, and an inspiration. In my opinion, since you're doing this as a display, I would say go with some Sanguinary Guard. And possibly add a Sanguinary Priest as well, since you've already got a Librarian and a Chaplain. But whatever you end up deciding on, I can't wait to see it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LutherMax Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 I second the Priest with the Guard! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interrogator Stobz Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 Sang-Guard Please Stevulf. Or anything else, it will still be awesome!

Can the thread be re-opened so we can gush over it? Also, Bevulf, did you use Andrea colours for the Dark Angels too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bevulf Posted November 10, 2016 Author Share Posted November 10, 2016 Ahh Brother Bobz thank you so much - I thought that it was truly lost. I do not have enough time to venture through all of the B&C and there is soooo much cool stuff here ! If I decide on painting more DA then I will definietely ask for reopening or start a new one :D LutherMax - I discovered the andrea paints 2 years ago and didn't use them on my DA. I used to mix black with grey colours back then. It was difficult to obtain the same shades each time I painted ravenwing bikers so it was a little bit frustrating. With andrea paints it's much easier to repeat the black colour scheme. Try them out - i am sure that you'll love the colours ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
