bigtrouble Posted February 12, 2022 Author Share Posted February 12, 2022 The forge world Dark Angels Legion Contemptor with two twin lascannon arms and a missle hat is on its way… finally.

bigtrouble Posted February 19, 2022 Author Share Posted February 19, 2022 Some updates, I finished my next squad. I did these as Veteran Intercessors. The Sergeant is magnetized, but the squad is glued. I considered doing these as magnetized so I could swap in melee arms, but decided I would like to do the tabards again some day anyway. Next up, some Hellblasters and the indomitus Eradicator squad. Had a little mishap with priming as I got near the end of the can, so I have some IPA cleanup to do, already scraped off the blobs. And lastly, my birthday present to myself has arrived, and I’m super excited to get building. I have not done a large resin piece, and can already tell this will take me a while. I plan on painting it Deathwing colors. Yes, I know that the twin volkites are the meta smasher, but I love lascannons, and volkites are always sold out anyway!

Chaplain Raeven Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 Lovely work mate, that's one steady hand you have there! I've build the exact same dread last month, good luck with that one! Good thing the new resin models are a joy to work with, just be carefull when clipping the shoulderpieces. bigtrouble 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/366942-bigtrouble%E2%80%99s-dark-angels/page/4/#findComment-5798110 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good thing the new resin models are a joy to work with, just be carefull when clipping the shoulderpieces. Good advice! Just finished clipping and sanding those. One of them filed down a bit thin, but i don’t see a need for any filling once it was fitted together. I was worried when I saw how it was attached, and I don’t have a hobby saw. I might need to get one if I plan on any more resin.

bigtrouble Posted March 15, 2022 Author Share Posted March 15, 2022 I ordered the BA combat patrol for the librarian and the impulsor. Ebay find at below retail, so it’s worth it just for those two models. I couldn’t help myself, even though my current backlog of primed models includes 10 hellblasters, 3 eradicators, 3 outriders, the bike chappie, primaris chap and judiciar.

bigtrouble Posted April 27, 2022 Author Share Posted April 27, 2022 I’ve been busy in the workshop lately, assembling primaris brothers from the BA combat patrol, which I found complemented the DA box really nicely. Not pictured are the primaris librarian and the impulsor. I have yet to assemble the Aggressors; I need to replenish my magnets. I am also working on this terminator librarian. I came across this pre-bent copper wire from the kids’ Easter egg kit. I have wanted to do a big OSL piece to really challenge myself to learn it, so I’d like to create a lightning/arc flash effect. I’m looking at poses and ways to run the wire. If you have suggestions, please share them.

bigtrouble Posted May 2, 2022 Author Share Posted May 2, 2022 (edited) Final pose for the librarian. I think I’ll do a painting project thread in WIP when I start.
