The Pounder Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 Hey guys. I’m starting my foray into the Age of Darkness with Dark Angels. This thread is a way to keep me motivated and on track. Currently I only have a Praetor, 10 MKVI Marines and the Lion himself! I have some ideas but nothing concrete. I’d like to add some Outriders and I was wondering if I could use the Ravenwing bikers? Would they be the correct scale? The picture below is my Praetor: HH Dark Angels Praetor Next up is a Black Templar I painted: Black Templars Emperor’s Champion I know they’re both black but which Black recipe do you prefer? I’m leaning towards the Templar black but can’t make my mind up! Any help with my questions would be much appreciated!

Raziel-TX Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 If this is going to go the way of your DKoK army, it’s going to be a good thread. As for the black paint question, they look very similar to me. Maybe with some more lighting would help me give some input.

Interrogator Stobz Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 Nice work Brother! I agree both blacks look similar in the pics, but the DA looks cooler regardless. No bias here, I promise. Black is hard no matter how you do it, the best thing I have found is to maximise interest in the non black areas of any mini.

The Pounder Posted August 12, 2022 Author Share Posted August 12, 2022 Thanks for the vote of confidence Raziel-TX! Cheers Interrogator Stobz! The Templar black has a bluish tint to it whilst the test Dark Angel is just greys. I think I’ll go with the Templar black, thanks again.

The Pounder Posted December 30, 2022 Author Share Posted December 30, 2022 Well it’s almost the New Year and I think it’s high time for me to start working on these in earnest. With that in mind I’ve finished this Sergeant as a test model. I’ve used a mix of bitz so I could practice different elements moving forward. Dark Angels Sergeant Dark Angels Sergeant Dark Angels Sergeant Dark Angels Sergeant Dark Angels Sergeant I’m really happy with the balance of colour. I went with Green instead of red as I recently finished a Black Templars project and wanted to do something different. Thanks for looking!

The Pounder Posted February 28, 2023 Author Share Posted February 28, 2023 Back on the Dark Angels for a bit (new year new army and all that!) I’ve been sat on this one since my birthday last year, so I thought I’d get it done as a treat for “finishing” the Krieg. Where better to start than the Primarch of the First Legion? I’m using a divergent colour scheme for my HH Dark Angels, I’m going with the green/black and bone scheme for them rather than the usual Heresy black and red. The model itself was what I’d expect from Forgeworld, beautifully detailed but a pain in the ass to build! Still I got it done. I’m really happy with the paint scheme and I’ll definitely be adding more Dark Angels in the coming weeks (once the car gets through it’s MOT!) Apologies for the wall of pic!

The Pounder Posted March 5, 2023 Author Share Posted March 5, 2023 Thanks gents! I wasn’t happy with the gold on the previous models so I changed the recipe. I wanted it to be more muted and antique looking. I’ll be using the colours from the Lion moving forward!

The Pounder Posted March 29, 2023 Author Share Posted March 29, 2023 This week’s update is the first of my Deathwing Companions! I’ve gone with my divergent colour scheme (using green instead of red) I started with my favourite of the squad, he just looks so cool, shield raised and ready to stab a traitor! Here’s the pics: Dark Angels Deathwing Companion Dark Angels Deathwing Companion Dark Angels Deathwing Companion Dark Angels Deathwing Companion Thanks for looking! I’m wondering, will the Deathwing Companions be a good bodyguard for the Lion? I was thinking of loading them in a Landraider, worth it?

The Pounder Posted April 9, 2023 Author Share Posted April 9, 2023 Thanks Raziel-TX! I finally found a use for my MKVI test model! He has become the Sergeant for an Assault Squad. I just snapped off the plasma pistol, back pack and added a jump pack and shield! I’ve gone with swords and shields as I want to go all out with the Knight theme! Here’s the reworked version: 30k Dark Angels Assault Marine 30k Dark Angels Assault Marine 30k Dark Angels Assault Marine Thanks for looking!
