Thrillhouse Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Hmm, wierd that this didnt get any replies. I like it! Nice choice of armour mark and a very nice black! How did you do it? Its hard to tell if its highlighted or if its only matte. Either way it looks good in your pictures. Do you have a list that you are building or is it more of a unit by unit type of project?

OakRiver Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Looking good as far. Will you be painting any red and black checkers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Combat_Vet Posted February 4, 2017 Author Share Posted February 4, 2017 I am using L&T to Build my "base". No veterans or special characters, so I do not anticipate a lot of extra decorations. The black is done with: Primer black base Heavy dry brush Vallejo Dark Blue Grey Heavy dry brush Vallejo Dark Sea Grey Wash with a mix of Vallejo Black Shade and Nuln Oil Wash with Nuln Oil http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w291/meadows88/Mobile%20Uploads/Loyalty%202017/B82D8C64-1EE8-4F12-B923-555E546A1312_zpsigo1t66t.jpg I am liking it as it gives an almost carbon color to the armor. I am not building off a list as I will just be building and learning along the way with Dark Angels throughout 2017. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Combat_Vet Posted April 18, 2017 Author Share Posted April 18, 2017 http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w291/meadows88/Mobile%20Uploads/Loyalty%202017/98FBABBF-E06A-4628-B5E9-0F2AE6FD7D6D_zpsluidctzi.jpg I was so, so close. Emergency surgery caused my eyes to swell shut for two weeks there at the end and put me behind schedule. Ah well. I'll still going to finish the project and post updates and better pics here later when available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Pheidias Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Certainly looking fabulous so far.And a few checks here and there wouldn't go amiss, you know you want to ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Combat_Vet Posted April 19, 2017 Author Share Posted April 19, 2017 I am trying not to overdo the checks which I think would be easy to do. I am going to have two distinct Terminator cadres (veteran and inner circle) which means not all my standard Termies need be uber-heroes. I'll add a few here and there into my squads as well (SGT's and grunts) to show heroism and notice is achieved at all ranks LOL http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w291/meadows88/Mobile%20Uploads/Loyalty%202017/82C88A1B-7F35-4D29-A6F1-1EA70EE0F544_zps8wdk8uvd.jpg http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w291/meadows88/Mobile%20Uploads/Loyalty%202017/682A4F5C-6882-4E50-888C-D2FF3769F910_zps94clzlbd.jpg Thanks for the kind reply and the input, much appreciated.

Charlo Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 The little flashes of checks, red and green mark them perfectly as DA. Top job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corswain Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Missed this thread until now somehow. I love your black!! Hope you've recovered well from your surgery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Combat_Vet Posted April 25, 2017 Author Share Posted April 25, 2017 Surgery went fine. Tumor was typical cells (no cancer). The procedure just caused swelling. Thanks :) Working one the second ten man squad http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w291/meadows88/Mobile%20Uploads/Loyalty%202017/D6867F66-B6C2-466A-B05B-F83842218DD7_zps0zdftjig.jpg http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w291/meadows88/Mobile%20Uploads/Loyalty%202017/F46636E3-8C53-45B3-85EE-52FC56A1593E_zpszfavgwlk.jpg And I've decided to break the 8 man TDA squad into a 5man squad and the beginnings of a HQ TDA squad instead http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w291/meadows88/Mobile%20Uploads/Loyalty%202017/38650442-8A23-431F-ADB1-D2B7502A5FE0_zpsfoaour1t.jpg http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w291/meadows88/Mobile%20Uploads/Loyalty%202017/74A52A2A-5AEA-41D8-9EE8-056501D9261F_zpstqloueb1.jpg As always any advice or C&C is always welcome.

Pearson73 Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 The checks are looking good, better for being scattered throughout and not on all. Glad to hear surgery went well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Pheidias Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Really liking this!They're nicely balanced, as the others said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venator Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 The freehand on the checks looks awesome. I've always been too scared to try but you've nailed it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaBoiKyknos Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 The remind me of a certain canine themed legion/ chapter. :D But, why not? Knights can have epic beards, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Combat_Vet Posted May 3, 2017 Author Share Posted May 3, 2017 The remind me of a certain canine themed legion/ chapter. But, why not? Knights can have epic beards, too. I see the "grunts" as laymen. My Knights will be the inner circle and be more clean cut and less battle damaged. I want to have multiple ways of showing on the board the difference between the two cadres (gold v. silver trim, hair, honor marks, battle damage, ornate weaponry/ armor) rather than simply having different colors that would come along later in the fluff. The "canine-inspired" Legion you speak of is full of laymen that simply display superior prowess to attain promotion. All legions would have had such bearded savage warriors. The ranks would have been full of them (except maybe the XIII). Also, nothing has ever suffered from being inspired by Russ' get :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreagher Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 Some really good looking Dark Angels! Just one question, from where is the rebreather head in the tactical squad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
