Widowmaker Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 (edited) Greetings frater, First time posting in this forum, so I hope it's appropriate! I've had a Blood Angels army that I've been picking at for the last... oh, 20 years, or so, and I'm finally getting round to throwing some paint on them. I have almost a complete Company (4th Conpany), and will be posting them here as they are completed. I'm pretty happy with the way most of them turned out. However, I recently finished Corbulo, and he's a little brighter than the rest, which annoys me because I like his armor more than the other 100+ marines. I'm leaving it for now, since it's not too bad, but I may have to repaint in the near future. Anyways, these will all appear in the HOH, but I figured the frater in this forum might like to see them too! First up is my custom Captain Tycho... see what you think! http://i.imgur.com/BBkcQ9m.jpg I have noticed that I forgot the bolter barrels, and didn't finish the power sword Edited July 19, 2017 by Widowmaker WarriorFish, Jolemai, Boudan and 2 others 5 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenith Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 Hi, good looking Tycho! Gorgeous red on the tabard. I guess you made him in 5th ed edition when he has the dead man's hand? A couple of things: bolter barrels, combi melta grip, rope on right wrist - we know how obsessed with perfection Tycho was! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LutherMax Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 Nice kitbash, looking forward to seeing your take on 4th Co! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Widowmaker Posted July 18, 2017 Author Share Posted July 18, 2017 Thanks guys, I appreciate the comments! @Xenith - Thanks mate! And... Damn! Missed the rope as well! Fixed the rope and the bolter... still got the sword to do. Technically, he was built in 7th, but you're right - the last codex I had was 5th edition with the Dead Mans Hand! More soon!

Widowmaker Posted July 19, 2017 Author Share Posted July 19, 2017 Greetings Frater, Well, t looks like I maxed out my Photobucket, so I'm gonna try Imgur... hopefully it'll work! So, up next are a mix of characters... Captain Castigon http://i.imgur.com/t5Ni11n.jpg http://i.imgur.com/1L6JXzu.jpg Old School Captain Tycho http://i.imgur.com/SMqQbl9.jpg Corbulo http://i.imgur.com/IfnDNRg.jpg Astorath the Grim http://i.imgur.com/PsfXIPK.jpg So, the pics aren't great. A little dark and a little outta focus. I'm mostly happy with them, though I'm not entirely sure what's going on with Corbulo's face! As always, comments and criticism are always welcome. Cheers, Widowmaker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Widowmaker Posted July 20, 2017 Author Share Posted July 20, 2017 Greetings Frater! I have more characters for y'all to feast you eyes on... I'm not entirely sure how I ended up with so many Chaplains, but let's see what you think! Chaplain 1 http://i.imgur.com/TmIZOT9.jpg Chaplain 2 http://i.imgur.com/lYC2J8h.jpg Chaplain 3 (Old School Kitbash) http://i.imgur.com/rAfuPxA.jpg Chaplain 4 http://i.imgur.com/AR10W5v.jpg Lemartes http://i.imgur.com/08A3UAP.jpg Group Shot http://i.imgur.com/ofViGer.jpg Overall, I'm pretty happy with the way they turned out. The bone is maybe a "little" darker than I usually paint, but I think it works pretty well. As always, comments and criticism are welcome!

Widowmaker Posted July 22, 2017 Author Share Posted July 22, 2017 Greetings frater! Hope everyone's having a good day. So, I'm back with some actual red marines! Today we have the first of my tactical squads - 4th Company, 3rd Squad. Sergeant and friends http://i.imgur.com/z1K5XDA.jpg Standard Marines http://i.imgur.com/5ulfHo7.jpg Marines, Special Weapon and Heavy Weapon http://i.imgur.com/N7CgPvS.jpg And a group shot... http://i.imgur.com/nHjG0Fw.jpg I'm pretty happy with the way they came out - they're not perfect, but good enough for government work! Anyway, tell me what you think - comments, criticism, heckling from the peanut gallery... all responses are welcome!

Widowmaker Posted July 23, 2017 Author Share Posted July 23, 2017 Greetings Frater, Thanks for all the comments! I appreciate you taking the time to post them! Keep them coming- it's nice to know folks are liking these guys! Today for your viewing pleasure, we have the second of my Blood Angels tactical squads. Let me introduce the marines of 4th Company, 4th Squad. Sergeant and friends http://i.imgur.com/Vxxfaab.jpg Standard Marines http://i.imgur.com/TizEpyC.jpg Special Weapon, Heavy Weapon, and the remaining marines. http://i.imgur.com/rKIh0ko.jpg And, finally, the group shot. http://i.imgur.com/6aDIKkT.jpg So, I really enjoyed painting these guys. The detail on them was fantastic! But, oh my lord, that is a lot of red! I like the fact that the Blood Angels boxes combined so well with the Horus Heresy marines. I have some of the Prospero box, but I'm not sure Mk. III is right for the aesthetic I'm going for. Question for you guys though - does anyone devotional script on their Blood Angel armor? I know the Ultramarines are fond of it, but I don't often see it on Blood Angels... thoughts? Anyways, hope you like them. Comments and criticism are welcome as always!

Widowmaker Posted July 26, 2017 Author Share Posted July 26, 2017 Greetings Frater, Alrighty then, I'm back once more with my version of the Blood Angels' 4th Company. Today's entry is 5th Squad. See what you think... Sergeant http://i.imgur.com/yX8ojYs.jpg Tactical Marines http://i.imgur.com/Jzm8ZVd.jpg Heavy Weapon, Special Weapon, and friends http://i.imgur.com/B4zdx14.jpg And a group shot http://i.imgur.com/OHI5pLr.jpg Hope y'all are enjoying these... they've been fun to put together. As always, comments and criticism are welcome! More soon! Cheers Widowmaker WarriorFish 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LutherMax Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 I'm certainly enjoying them, and I'm a bit jealous of how quickly you're knocking them out! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Widowmaker Posted July 26, 2017 Author Share Posted July 26, 2017 Hah! Thanks, LutherMax! Glad you like them! I will admit I'm cheating a little with the speed. I batch paint, so have a backlog of squads just waiting to be based. Once I'm through that, my progress will slow back to my usual snail's pace! Thanks for commenting!

Xenith Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Great looking units, and rapid progress! Lots of chaplains, I need to up my game. I do lots of devotional script and freehand where I can, check my plog for examples - later pages until I can sort out the photobucket mess up.

WarriorFish Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Nice speedy work again, we must be due an army shot by now though ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Widowmaker Posted August 2, 2017 Author Share Posted August 2, 2017 (edited) Greetings Frater, Thanks for the comments folks! I appreciate them! @Xenith - nice work on those Blood Angels! So, I saw the script work on the purity seals... do you put ever put them on the armor too? That's what I don't see on Blood Angels too often. @WarriorFish - Cheers mate! Yeah - soon! This post concludes my Tactical Squads, so I'm thinking an interim army shot might be appropriate! So, I'm back again! Today's offering is 4th Company, 6th Squad... As I mentioned, these are the last of my Tactical Squads for now. Let me know what you think! Sergeant and friends http://i.imgur.com/9EchYD4.jpg Tactical Marines http://i.imgur.com/IYKJirZ.jpg Heavy Weapon, Special Weapon and friend. http://i.imgur.com/uzjgMmX.jpg Group Shot http://i.imgur.com/JQ5whU7.jpg So, I'm still happy with the way these guys are turning out, but I'm glad I don't have to paint any more for a while! I'll post an army shot soon, followed by... something. Not sure which next! As always, comments and criticism are welcome!
