Freakshow's First Steps into AoD

[Freakshow668]

Hello, 

 

My wife recently bought me the Deathwing companions and a Praetor, so I guess i'm starting  AoD Dark Angels. 

I've started off kitbashing an Enigmatus cabal, mostly because I realised I had the bits lying around and to try to get a handle on painting black (35 years in the hobby and I've never painted black power armour!), so apologies for the rough paintjob on this guy, hopefully I get the hang of it.

 

 

Comments and advice actively encouraged.

 

Thanks for looking.

Nice work. Those checks look like they take a lot of effort.

Not so much, but then, I'm not very good at them yet. I imagine getting the technique down will be tricky.

They just take practice and you need to step back every once in a while to get a different point of.view to make sure.they are looking right. Lovely mini great work so far.

Howdy, been a while as I've been focusing mainly on my Chaos Dwarfs for the last couple of months, but I have found time to finish off my Enigmatus Cabal and a Consul.

Your first steps have been amazing. I hope you'll keep us apprised of your future work as well.

Got half a tactical squad finished as well as a second Consul and a predator.

 

 

Thanks for looking.

Nice use of parts for the consul.

Thanks dude, Rann is a very nice model and pretty easy to de-Fist. Having more problems with Zac Efron, but I reckon he'll make a good Night Lord, or maybe Alpha Legion when I'm done.

Lovely work there, I have to say! Checkers are really fun to do. If you decide painting them by hand is a bit much, you can get transfer sheets of them from ebay for about £6 a sheet with various sizes. I did some DA few years back and it made doing a lot of them a lot easier. That said, yours look great (defo not a criticism).

 

Always happy to see more of the First :-)

Finished the other five guys for the tactical squad.

 

 

Altogether my force consists of...
