Spagunk's HH painting thread

[Spagunk]

I’m very jealous of your forgeworld legion Dreadnought- have you been saving that in a cupboard for a rainy day?

 

Beautiful paint job, don’t think I’ve seen one of these in red before.

I have a whole box of stuff that I've been holding on to for painting eventually. It's not a big box mind you but it exists.

What he said!  I've been scouring eBay for one of those since last summer, to no avail. Well, there was one, but some maniac bid $250 on it after my initial $60.

 

In the same vein, looks REALLY good!  I love this red and how it comes out every time. Muted so as to not be ostentatious, yet vibrant with enough fanfare, like the legion was known to be. A fantastic duality.

That's one awesome dread you made, Spagunk!

[Spagunk]

Thank you

Great pose on the champion, his blades are also really nicely done.

[Majkhel]

Good work! Their colour scheme really suits your style. I agree that te Champion's pose is well done

Blood Angel IXth Legion Tactical Veteran Squad. Or at least the second half of the one I already completed.

 

 

 

 

A little late this time but I still did most of the work for August so it counts :p .

Nice use of the breacher helmets, I also really like the vexillia. 

[Chaeron]

They are lovely - the wings on the shoulder pads just take them to the next level!

Another Blood Angel IXth Legion Tactical Squad in the works. First 5 of 15.

Love the poses on these guys. Not often you see someone modelled as “taking the hit” though!?

[Pearson73]

Oh that guy taking the round is excellent, both the pose and the OSL.

[Majkhel]

Lovely touch with the hit marine! I feel the vibes of the fillers of WFB infantry sqare-blocks of old.

Blood Angel IXth Legion Destroyer Squad.

[Cactus]

The helmet on the last one reminds me of Edvard Munch's The Scream. It feels sinister in a way that no amount of spikes and flayed skin can replicate.

[Spagunk]

Thanks. Trying to paint skin and eyes was really bloody difficult and I only barely managed. There's not a lot of room in there to do it well.

Very nice blend of Destroyers/Angel's Tears bits! I like that you used the basic Destroyers bodies and that single mask-helmet makes them much more sinister and in line with the Destroyers' lore in general  
I also really like the addition of green on their jump-packs.

Are those bases with big chunks of rockrete (especially the one still standing) ready-made or did you make them yourself?

[Slinky]

Very nice - You've got the 30k BA look just right in my opinion, not just 40k Blood Angels in older armour :)

[Prim]

Everything in this thread looks amazing. I love those destroyers.

It's just cork sheets I managed to acquire from somewhere along the years (I have a fair number of sheets). For the rebar stuff, I just superglue used guitar string and try to rough snip them off and bend them while doing so.

 

The I-Beam is plastic sprue that I sanded/filed down. The ground bricks are from a small spool of what I believe is craft hobby brick for Christmas dioramas.

Thanks, I appreciate the comment. I really latched on to the bit in fluff about HH BA being essentially a lost child/feral before Sanguinius so I wanted to reflect that as much as possible. Makes for a bit more interesting situation than the "extreme loyalty" aspect we've had for years.

Love the contrast with the grimey brightness you've achieved, and the modelling is spot on for a motley crew of Siege-BAs
