MaxB Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Well I've been back to Warhammer and the Dark Angels for about 4 months now after a ~10 year hiatus. I've been sticking with them, regularly painting and getting games in. It's the most excited I've been about the hobby in a long while so I thought I would throw up some pics of my progress and hopefully keep adding to this thread as I go. Questions or critique is always welcome. Thanks for stopping by.

MaxB Posted April 23, 2018 Author Share Posted April 23, 2018 Thanks guys. Appreciate the love. Yes I tend to go clean until my wife rips on them saying they don't look like they're in battle haha - so trying to add some battle damage (mostly to the vehicles). Got a Dark Talon in the works that I plan to add plenty of chips and rust streaks to.

JJD Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Fantastic force. I have found black and white the most difficult colour to highlight but you have knocked it out of the park.

MaxB Posted April 23, 2018 Author Share Posted April 23, 2018 Thanks! Yes I did heaps of research before starting the black. Found some good recipes on instagram. I use some blue tones (also very hard to capture in the pics), then also try to get quite bright (ending with Blue Horror), and keep the lines thin (keep cutting back in with black to neaten it up.

MaxB Posted May 6, 2018 Author Share Posted May 6, 2018 Finished up my Azrael conversion... next will be his trusty sidekick (watcher). Never done much purple before so I'm a bit on the fence about that. And first time trying to do a shiny black nmm style sword - I'm happy with the blend, but maybe will add some extra glints here and there. Or most likely just leave it and have something to work for the next model!

stuka06 Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 This model looks superb. The sword already looks great, with or without extra reflection points.

JJD Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 Yes, yes, yes. Just yes to everything about that model. That is how to paint a black sword. Fantastic conversion.

Greenz Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 Wicked force you’ve got painted up so far! Honestly, at first I thought you’d stolen the image of the Darkshroud from the GW site! I really enjoy what you did with the statues And that Azrael, you rocked that conversion. Sweet extra details on him, and gorgeous blending on his cape! Is the inside of his cape purple or black? I can’t quite tell on my phone Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/346511-maxs-return-to-dark-angels/#findComment-5073951 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Karael Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 How did you paint the statues on the Darkshroud? I've struggled finding a guide on how to achieve that green tint on them.

I can’t quite tell on my phone Thanks for the kind words. Purple on the inside of his cape same as the bit on the front.

Looking forward to trying it out No worries. It's a great technique. Water down the Coelia Greenshade to control the intensity of the green. And go super light/dry with the final drybrush Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/346511-maxs-return-to-dark-angels/#findComment-5074322 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxB Posted July 20, 2018 Author Share Posted July 20, 2018 Ok a couple of recently finished minis for you... Talonmaster and Scout Squad! I've fallen into the trap of starting about 6 different units so progress is a bit slow. Dark Talon and Hellblasters should be next. This shows the blue-ness of the highlights better than previous posts (using a proper camera now). Kept the conversion pretty spartan. Just a couple of tech upgrades to represent his special rules. Tried to go fairly quick with scouts. Heads from Kromlech turned out well I think. Also first complete unit with a new green recipe borrowed from Mike Mutiny.

Kasper_Hawser Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Regarding your Azrael, how did you get the combi-plasma arm? Is it from the original Azrael model? The main body I know is from an Interrogator Chaplain. The Sword also looks stunning, not sure where it comes from as well. Care to share?
