Helias_Tancred Posted May 16 Author Share Posted May 16 (edited) I recently had a nearly 4k collection of Chaos Space Marines (Black Legion) get dumped into my lap. Fact: Getting familiar with the Chaos Space Marines rules has clarified how badly the Dark Angels rules were done this edition. Unit rules ,detachment rules, etc. Just poor overall.

I love my Black Legion but they were pita to paint. Hazard stripes on my Iron Warriors were NOTHING compared to all that gold trim.

Hazard stripes on my Iron Warriors were NOTHING compared to all that gold trim. Ummm no. lol. 2/3 of the collection was built. A couple vehicles and a 10 man raptor squad were all primed with GW Wraithbone, everything else was gray plastic. It belonged to one of my close friends, he had too many collections and he pretty much gave up on. It is 4060 points. I've built most of the remaining things that were still NIB. I still have a forge fiend, the second venomcrawler, and 6 chaos bikers left to build. I have a thread over in the Heretic Astartes forum talking about it, including a list of everything in the collection.

Helias_Tancred Posted June 1 Author Share Posted June 1 (edited) My Primaris Librarian, Epistolary Castiel of the Risen. I really like using him in my lists but he was just lacking something. So I came up with this. Now he looks right imo. Gave him a very Librarian-esque open book atop his backpack powerpcack, and Dark Angels love their hood trims! I'm thinking I might do the same trim along the bottom of his inner robes?

Helias_Tancred Posted June 1 Author Share Posted June 1 (edited) I kit-bashed the book using bits from the old Company Veterans Kit. The Dark Angel chapter icon atop the book is from one of the belt bits where an orb and some iconography dangle from a rope. The pole that the book is mounted on came from one of the backpack icons in that kit that displays the chapter emblem. The great decal on the open pages of the book came from a decal sheet imo worth its weight in gold from Forgottenchapters.eu. I got it and another similar decal sheet off of Etsy a year or two back.

Helias_Tancred Posted June 5 Author Share Posted June 5 Well ... I forgot his banner lol. I'll paint it tomorrow and reattach it! I do think this Azrael looks better than the first one I painted on page 2 or 3 of this thread several years ago! That is a good feeling.

Helias_Tancred Posted June 5 Author Share Posted June 5 Also of note this time my dark green power armor recipe differed. Prior to this second collection I was using the tried and true GW DA method of Caliban Green, Warpstone Glow, and Moot Green. This time I started all of my company Dark Angels with a black primer, then a base coat of Caliban Green (can't give up the O.G.) but then my layers and edge highlights are Army Painter Fanatic greens. See pic. And you can see how each one is the successive step in their green offering at the lower right corner of the bottle. I wanted to use these colors this time around because I was intrigued by the narrow gap between each color, versus the vast gulf between Caliban Green and Warpstone Glow, and everything from Moot Green lol, for example.

Helias_Tancred Posted June 13 Author Share Posted June 13 Master of Repetence, Asmodai. His rules in 10th edition are mediocre at best, but his sculpt is great as well as his lore. He will lead assault intercessors for me. crimsondave, Tallarn Commander, Rockybaerboa and 3 others 2 4 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/372521-helias-tancreds-3rd-company-ravenwing-deathwing-support/page/5/#findComment-6116080 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helias_Tancred Posted June 13 Author Share Posted June 13 (edited) I fixed that thick gray edge line on the right hip plate btw, and cleaned up the gold chapter icon on the large medallion. It was spilling over on the right side.

crimsondave Posted June 16 Share Posted June 16 Love me some Asmodai. I love all the DAs named characters but I think the chief of psychopaths is my favorite character in 40K not named Lion El’Jonson. He looks fantastic. Great job.

Helias_Tancred Posted June 18 Author Share Posted June 18 (edited) Psychopath lol. I really like the contrast between Asmodai and Sapphon. One is more of a nut, and the other is a rational thinker.

Helias_Tancred Posted Wednesday at 06:29 PM Author Share Posted Wednesday at 06:29 PM (edited) He killed Haarkon Worldclaimer the other day. He earned a paint job lol. On colors I initially started with lots of gold trim on all the iconography but it didn't look right to me, for who that character is. So I went back and redid it all in silver, with GW Runelord Brass, shade (Agrax), and GW Canoptek Alloy as the edging and highlight on the sword hilt and cross guard, and the crusade cross icon he's carrying that dangles on the chain.
