Dachdach Posted February 17 Author Share Posted February 17 A better pic... On these minis, to fit the shoulder I had to cut the decals. Now I use decal softener from green stuff world.

Boc Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 The decal softener is clutch. I really like the eyes and how they were done. I'm admittedly colorblind and stink with telling green and brown apart, does the base coloring stand out enough from the armor? They look incredibly close to me... and my broken eyes Firedrake Cordova 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/385331-some-dark-angels/#findComment-6095467 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dachdach Posted February 17 Author Share Posted February 17 @Boc the base is dark grey! You're right, it's too dark and very close to the green of thé armour. I think that works better with deathwing. I tried to add a touch of color with the flowers. A first pic for deathwing...

Firedrake Cordova Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 They look great to me. Personally, I think the bases look fine, although if you're not happy with them, maybe investigate pigment powders (as they can easily be removed until you set it). The raspberry-coloured bolter casing is something I haven't seen on the Deathwing before, and it works well Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/385331-some-dark-angels/#findComment-6095559 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dachdach Posted February 18 Author Share Posted February 18 @Firedrake Cordova to be totally honest, the raspberry bolter was not my objective ... I added white to mephiston red. I'm quite happy with this squad. Soon I will add some scouts and inner circle!

Chaplain Killmer Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Sadly you posted the pictures a bit late - those would be the absolute winners on valentines day with the flowers on the base :) Which is something I never have seen on DAs. The paint job itself is great.

Farva Ramathorn Posted Thursday at 05:35 PM Share Posted Thursday at 05:35 PM Great job. Bolter scopes and flowers are nice touches. Also colourblind... and also painted a bunch of DA and Salamanders. Why do we do it. My biggest mistake is normally picking up a darker or lighter shade than intended, slapping it on and having a :cuss: moment afterwards. I'll post up my WIP Tyranids and you'll have a good laugh... if you see it :D Firedrake Cordova and Dachdach 2 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/385331-some-dark-angels/#findComment-6096001 Share on other sites More sharing options...
