Prot's finished Dark Angels Pics (Updated with the Lion.)

[Prot]

It's been a good 15 minutes since I started a new army so I guess I'll plop a bunch of the finished pics here.

 

My first squads the typical troops:

 

 

Infiltrators:

 

 

Something a little different Bladeguard:

 

(Unique heads above were from an ebay seller.)

Azrael:

 

Next up some vehicles.

Very nice! Love the sepia Bladeguard. Beautiful work.

[Maschinenpriester]

Beautiful work Prot!

[Prot]

Thank you so much. Very much appreciate it. If it weren't for the community here this gets a little boring some times!

 

The Vehicles so far:

 

I admittedly hate doing vehicles/tanks. It's just kind of the lack of personality I guess. Some people love them, but I felt for 10th I had to do some transports which I have not even bothered doing since my last.. 3-4 Ultramarine armies. So these have been sitting around waiting for assembly/paint. (Not that I've had any luck with them!)

 

They are good enough to rip around the table top.  I just wish they had better capacity and didn't kill contents (I always hated that about transports). 

 

Now these are the only two 'non primaris' vehicles I've done so far because I think they are unique enough to make the cut and stay in the line up:

 

 

 

 

 

 

I had the patience to magnetize the bottoms/bases. MUCH more easy to move/transport.

 

 

 

Next up Dreads...

Dreads thus far:

 

And I'm just finishing up the Ballistus Dread.

Ballistus finished...

 

All three big boys:

 

[Firedrake Cordova]

Excellent work!

 

The weathering on the infantry and tanks is great - just enough to add detail and character, but not so much as to be overwhelming and cartoonish

[Prot]

The newer Infernus squad.
 

The 'Risen' Sternguard:

WoW Prot does another army...  Dark Angels no less !! 

They look great and the weathering on the Vehicles is stellar, 2x 

Those alternate heads look Cool! 

 

Cheers, M.

Hehe... shocker isn't it?  It's been fun painting a green army which I haven't done in a super long time. As you know I'm fond of reds/blues/blacks. So this was a departure. (Dark Angels were my very first marine army in 3rd.)

Okay... here comes the Lion:

 

 

 

A pleasure to paint. LOVE this sculpt!

 

I decided to blend some earth tones into the cape. It worked with the golds on the backpack and the Lion fur I think.

 

 

 

I wish I had better pics of the shield. It's a pretty cool piece.

 

 

Above: A better shot of the sword.

 

 

I had to go with the hood. After reading Son of the Forest it was just something I felt strongly on.... plus it suits the whole 'forest murder hobo' vibe. :)

Awesome work!! , The fur and cape are Gorgeous !!  Shield has a wow factor to it and I totally love the head choice... Although I never wish to meet a "Forest Murdering Hobo" on any of my bushwalks ...

 

Cheers, M 

[Firedrake Cordova]

Thank you. Yea I saw it and thought.... I'm gonna try a variant of that for Fealty. I use more contrast paint probably than he does, but it was a fun experiment and I wanted the Lion's blade to look like nothing else I'd ever done before. It was a real pain though. I probably redid it in whole or part 3-5 times over a few weeks.

I'm not a big Loyalist SM fan but I must say, I'm a big fan of these. The Green in particular is gorgeous

Amazing work as ever Prot!

I think it was worth it! Its absolutely gorgeous. Would love a real close up :)

[MithrilForge]
