Chaplain Lucifer Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 (edited) Good morning fellow Dark Angels denizens! I am pleased to announce a painting competition for the staunch DA fans! Next August it will be 20 years that I have the pleasure to be a member of the BnC and to mark that occasion nothing better than a good old Feast of Blades... I mean a nice themed painting contest. This one will be out of the ordinary... The theme is past, present and future of the Dark Angels, so entries will be an iteration of the same model, 3 times, showing its progress through time. Complicated? Not really! Each contestant will choose one model (old or new) from their DA (or Sucessors) collection and will do iterations of it! Some examples: - Bother Silas is a Dreadnought from the 3rd Company from my collection. Now I need 2 models: One to represent Silas in the past, one other to represent in the future. That means I will have to paint and build one scout and one Venerable dreadnought! - Revered Brother Goatbel is a veteran in my collection. My objective will be to build Goatbel as a line trooper as is past self and a Goatbel as a Terminator as his future self. The premise is that you take something from your collection and make a saga of it! How was the model in the past and what you expect the future to be. Of course If you want to scratch build 3 models you'll be allowed to, the objective is to have fun after all! Competition will start 1st May and the deadline will be the end of August. All finished entries will be then linked in a poll here in the BnC so the judge will be your peers! The prize to sweeten the deal will be a brand new, mint, unopened BnC Mods playing card deck with the art by Aerion the faithful (https://www.deviantart.com/nicolasrgiacondino/gallery/273980/warhammer-40-000-the-dark-millenium) ! It's a limited item and pretty much out of production! To participate just drop your name and goal in the thread! Progress pictures of the work are most welcome!!!

Guest Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 (edited) I'm so down for this.... Likewise... Count me in... Watch Lostrael come and shame us all Question is which DA Successor?

Skywrath Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 I'm down for this, this is very similar to the Silver Fire of Dawn challenge I ran in the Grey Knights subforum.. Just so I understand this right, so if I were to provide a regular tactical marine with a special weapon then upgrade him to a terminator with a special weapon and then a captain (neophyte -> first company -> master) that would be acceptable?

What about scout > deathwing > bladeguard Decided Scout >>> Stg >>> Bladeguard. And probably going Dark Angels... Or my Red DA. All my bits have been ordered... Going Shotgun for Scout, Plasma Pistol & Chainsword for Sgt, My Bladeguard guy should look good with Plasma Pistol and Power Sword.

Interrogator Stobz Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 Devastator ---> Deathwing heavy ---> Deathwing Knight for me. One is a Kill Team mini (past), then it gives me an excuse to work on my unfinished TDA lads (present) , then an excuse to make some more Cactusphractii (future). elmo, Cactus and jbaeza94 3 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/373759-dark-angels-forum-painting-competition/#findComment-5813173 Share on other sites More sharing options...
