TheFirstKnight Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 (edited) Hello! Currently working on the start of my Heresy-era Dark Angels project, enjoying the break after a spell painting samurai miniatures!Want to work on some background for the army, decide upon it's allegiances etc. To start with, here's my Consul, a Rhino and the lovely new Contemptor-Dreadnought.

Pearson73 Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 That Contemptor really is a nice sculpt. The stains and chipping on the armour plates look good on all three models, I like how you've done the Rhino's headlights.

It’s why I enjoy painting black; I find I can go to town on the weathering side of things without it looking somewhat overdone (a thing I found difficult to balance when I did Death Guard years and years ago).

Marshal Rohr Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 Extremely well done. You should be proud. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/357836-%E2%80%9Cloyalty-is-it%E2%80%99s-own-reward%E2%80%9D/#findComment-5371779 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFirstKnight Posted October 21, 2019 Author Share Posted October 21, 2019 (edited) Hey gang, back to it after a mini break (busy with work and other hobby stuff). Came back to some lovely new Dark Angels minis so clearly just had to treat myself! Appear to be going for a very Dreadnought heavy theme, 2 Contemptors and a Leviathan so far.Quiet day at work today so these have been gloss varnished and are now ready for priming and a lick of paint! Hopefully the melta lance and Siege Drill should be here tomorrow hopefully. http://i.imgur.com/vxVh9VA.jpg Edited October 21, 2019 by TheFirstKnight bluntblade, WITCHKING501, Charlo and 2 others 5 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/357836-%E2%80%9Cloyalty-is-it%E2%80%99s-own-reward%E2%80%9D/#findComment-5411545 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fajita Fan Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 It's a small detail but I really like the use of the Deathwatch cape (99% sure on that bit).

Pearson73 Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Those new models really are excellent, looking forward to seeing some paint on them.

TheFirstKnight Posted March 26, 2020 Author Share Posted March 26, 2020 (edited) Hey Gang! Has been a while since I’ve done an update. Moved house late last year to a big old farmhouse which has required a lot of work to it. Fortunately (or not as the case may be) there’s kinda of a worldwide lockdown atm which has enabled me to get some painting done. I should probably get some troops done at some point but wanted to do some of the toys first! Few pics below of what I’ve been working on this week, in addition to the Captain, Rhinp and Contemptor I’d painted previously. Apologies for the poor pictures, the lighting isn’t great in this place as there’s always too much or not enough, the minis aren't quite as grey or drawn out as they appear here! Gonna be treating myself to a light box at some point soon. The minis are mostly done, I just need to finish the bases off and paint the Leviathan's eye lenses. Have commited myself also to doing an Ironwing force, with some Dreadwing elements (hence all the Rhinos and Dreadnoughts so far). I’m currently working on a second Mortis-Contemptor and the shiny new DA Terminators from FW. Troops to follow, then the Interemptors, then a pair of Vindicator Laser Arrays and a Sicaran Venator. Praetor: Leviathan Dreadnought: Rhinos: Family shot of the force so far… Edited March 26, 2020 by TheFirstKnight Brother-Captain Gilead, bluntblade, Allart01 and 6 others 9 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/357836-%E2%80%9Cloyalty-is-it%E2%80%99s-own-reward%E2%80%9D/#findComment-5496828 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pearson73 Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 Enjoying the beaten, weathered style of your Angels, it'll be good to see the new Terminators.

SickSix Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 I am not normally a fan of heavy weathering, but for some reason I really love what you are doing here. It all looks fantastic.
