4th company for the win! These are pretty much the exact reasons I picked them as well :)

 

The chaplain looks great, love the idea of the magnetised backpack as well

 

Thanks! Of course his pistol can be an issue since his current rules list him as a "chaplain with jump pack" and an absolver bolt pistol is not available as a gun choice. But unless you're playing in a strict tournament or with a [person] that doesn't accept any amount of proxy, lol you should be fine?

 

I play with close friends so no concern there for me. I guess one could always magnetize pistols? lol. 

 

[Helias_Tancred]

Oh it's definitely going to be a labor of love lol. I'll get better at it the more I do it.

 

Might use a pencil to draw it out and then just paint in the black parts? A good friend suggested that. 

 

What I did was paint a horizontal line splitting the upper white half. Then painted a black line going from top bottom in the middle of the white half. Then painted two black lines to either side going from top to bottom. Then filled in the black parts.

I don't normally post unpainted models but I was pretty stoked with this veteran intercessor sergeant kit-bash. I use my intercessors all the time, so he will get painted and he will get used! I used an ICC kit, the older primaris Dark Angels upgrade sprue, and I'm not 100% sure on the slung bolt rifle bits? Either a Sternguard kit or Intercessor kit?

Lieutenant Soraen of the 4th Company, The Feared.  My lieutenants are finished. One is equipped to go with shooty units, and this guy is geared for going with melee units. 

 

[Helias_Tancred]

What I learned with this guy is that for doing Dark Angels with robes/tabards/hooded heads once you get those parts painted with variants of a bone/tan color, the last thing to do is greatly thin down some Agrax Eartheshade and go over all of those parts. What I've been finding is when you finish the bone colored parts they are so bright and any slight shade parts are non-existent, and the look too bright and clean too. So going forward if I have any of those the final step will be applying a greatly thinned down Agrax shade. I'm also very happy using the Army Painter Fanatic range of greens appropriate for Dark Angels. I always base in GW Caliban Green, but that's it for GW paints. Also over the last month I switched to Army Painter Fanatic metallics and I love them!

Thanks! I was like "it really sucks they stopped making Lieutenant Zachariah because it would be nice to have a primaris lieutenant wearing robes and a hood ..." then I realized we have the Inner Circle Companions kit ;)

 

 

[Helias_Tancred]

Veteran Sergeant Ezekiah of the Angels of Vengeance, 3rd company/7th squad seconded to Task Force Caliban's Wrath. He commands 9 jump pack assault intercessors. They are a very hard-hitting squad that refuses to yield ground to the enemy and will go eagerly and almost insanely face to face with any threat on the battlefield!

[Helias_Tancred]

Master Rhamiel of the 4th company in his terminator plate!

 

I have three versions of Master Rhamiel, one in Mk X power armor (Master Lazarus kit), one in gravis armor (Captain in Gravis Armor with boltstorm gauntlet), and one in terminator armor. Of the three I'm probably going to get the most use from him in terminator armor alongside a Deathwing terminator or knight squad that teleports in, so this one was the painting priority. 

 

I didn't want to make his terminator armor full Deathwing colors, I know its not common but I wanted it to be battle company green albeit with a tilt shield showing his Deathwing street cred and whatever that key means? lol. I would have had a skull inset into his iron halo but sadly there's not enough clearance for the skull's jaw to sit evenly like on the Mk X armored version.

 

I have the same head for his gravis armored form. And the one in power armor has the helm with the left eye ocular inset. Lastly I have his personal heraldry done and will repeat that on the tilt shield on his Mk X power armor model.

Angels of Vengeance deserve so much more love then they get.

[Helias_Tancred]

Dark Angels have several very cool second and further founding chapters: Angels of Vengeance, Consecrators, Disciples of Caliban, Guardians of the Covenant, etc. 

[Helias_Tancred]

Slowly coming together. FYI Deathwing terminators are so easy and quick to paint up. Working on the first squad in addition to other things. 

 

 

Edited August 28 by Helias_Tancred

[Helias_Tancred]

New Deathwing terminator, Brother Zehdral. ... just busy or else I'd have the whole squad done and have to finish up some stuff for others. 

 

 

[Helias_Tancred]

An idea I got from a Crimson Fist 40k guy on Instagram .... objective control markers. Very handy for those objectives still controlled but empty due to sticky objectives, etc. Quick and easy to make. 

 

 

[Helias_Tancred]

Looking for some feedback for my 4th company master; winged helm vs. no winged helm but with ocular tech. ... also take a look at my careful carving and kit-bash of the right side of the helm wing (as its ok, good, bad, etc). I think I can paint it well and you won't really notice it much but consider it just in case? Note this is from the Master Lazarus kit.

 

Thanks.

I'm kinda leaning towards the helm with ocular tech but I'd like to have the down hood bit from the Azrael kit to put around the bottom of the helmet.

[crimsondave]

Both look good.  I’m always partial to wings myself.  I don’t think you could go wrong either way.

[Helias_Tancred]

Deathwing Terminator squad Seraphus.

This is what I decided on. I did take the down hood bit from an Azrael kit and used it on him. Note when you do this is, it will make a helmed head sit higher, and its noticeable. So what I did was trim down the base of the helm head, the neck portion. Then I trimmed the sides of the shorted neck portion. Lastly I trimmed the height of the wrap around side of the bit so overall the helmeted head sat deeper and looked more normal.  I have faith it will look pretty cool and more unique once I paint him up.

Played a 2k game against Chaos Space Marines yesterday and won. Fun game. I ran this list. Azrael + Inner Circle Companions went in the land Raider Crusader. Asmodai + Bladeguard veterans went in the drop pod. DWK + Belial came in off deep strike.  The lieutenant went with one of my intercessor squads.  My good friend, who doesn't own Dark Angels, but plays against mine often, designed this list for me.

Cool list Brother. Also, your Master looks great, just the right amount of DA bling. Can't wait to see him painted.

He's WIP right now.

 

[Helias_Tancred]

Two coolest moments in that game were my Ballistus Dreadnought and my Gladiator Lancer teaming up for two consecutive rounds to take out his Khorne Lord of Skulls, and each round the dreadnought's krak missiles rolling 5s and 6s to wound it! The other was Azrael and the Inner Circle Companions assaulting out of the Land Raider Crusader into his ecto-plasma Forgefiend and murdering it like it was a squad of 10 chaos cultists! lol. My opponent's immediate reply was "I hate that unit!" lol.
