Matinka Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 Hi everyone, I've been slowly working on a Dark Angels army since the release of the Leviathan boxset and thought I'd share my progress with you all. I've gone with the 4th Company with Detahwing support. I might get some Ravenwing later on but I'm waiting to see if GW updates Sammael and the Ravenwing knight kits first. First up, a group shot showing most of my completed units: Interrogator Chaplain Sapphand: Honoured fallen brother - Ancient Eradur: Deathwing knights: Next up, Belial Master of the Deathwing: And finally, some recent WIP conversions: A lieutenant kitbashed mainly from the black templars marshall kit A judiciar from a black templars sword brethren with ICC arms. A captain from a storm cast Lord Terminos Thanks for looking! Any C&C welcome Helias_Tancred, Brother Captain Vakarian, Chaplain Raeven and 9 others 4 8 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/386328-matinkas-4th-company-dark-angels-the-feared/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

RXtacy Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 These are fantastic. Really like the OSL on Belial and excited to see the WIPs. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/386328-matinkas-4th-company-dark-angels-the-feared/#findComment-6123853 Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJD Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 These are spectacular. The different textures really stand out. I can’t wait to see more Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/386328-matinkas-4th-company-dark-angels-the-feared/#findComment-6123933 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interrogator Stobz Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 Brilliant work Brother! From the kitbash/conversion work to the painting quality, they're gorgeous. Thanks for sharing, and I'm sure we all can't wait to see more.

Matinka Posted July 24 Author Share Posted July 24 Thanks for the kind words everyone. I've currently got some childhood wish fulfilment on my painting desk in the form of a landraider. I've wanted one of these ever since I first saw one in a white dwarf back in the day and I finally got one for the deathwing! crimsondave, Helias_Tancred and Chaplain Raeven 1 2 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/386328-matinkas-4th-company-dark-angels-the-feared/#findComment-6123994 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helias_Tancred Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 Love the Land Raider! Very smooth and clean. So which bone color is that that you used, and which one did you use for the edge trim? I have one sitting in a glass case that has been primed in Wraithbone and I need to paint it soon. Thanks.

Matinka Posted July 25 Author Share Posted July 25 Thanks @Helias_Tancred The bone is a basecoat of Steel Legion Drab, then I airbrushed Zandri Dust and then Ushabti bone. I finished it off with a dry brush of screaming skull. Hope that helps!

Matinka Posted July 28 Author Share Posted July 28 I had a productive weekend! I have a gaming get-together with a few friends in a couple of weeks so I've been putting in more hours than usual to get stuff ready. The landraider is looking a lot dirtier and more battle-worn now This squad of terminators has been almost complete for close to a year so I finished them off at last: I also finished off some plasma inceptors! On a side note, those inceptor clear stands have a terrible connection point - does anyone have any tips to improve them? crimsondave, Rockybaerboa, RXtacy and 5 others 2 6 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/386328-matinkas-4th-company-dark-angels-the-feared/#findComment-6124866 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaplain Raeven Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 Man, those are some exquisite models. The OSL is a bit overwhelming to my taste, but apart from that personal nitpick, your painting is awesome! Especially love your gradients of green.

crimsondave Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 That’s a level I will never attain. Beautiful. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/386328-matinkas-4th-company-dark-angels-the-feared/#findComment-6125511 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matinka Posted August 6 Author Share Posted August 6 Thanks for the kind words @Chaplain Raeven @crimsondave! I'm busy working on some Sternguard vets (which I'm planning on painting as company vets with a twist) and some scouts. While they are still in the ugly WIP stage, here are some close-ups of some terminators and deathwing knights. I used some parts from the older deathwing knight kit to give the terminator sergeant a bit more Dark Angels flavour Helias_Tancred, Interrogator Stobz, Raziel-TX and 6 others 3 6 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/386328-matinkas-4th-company-dark-angels-the-feared/#findComment-6126489 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matinka Posted August 14 Author Share Posted August 14 I actually played a game of 40k on the weekend! I'm happy to report that the Sons of the Lion were able to crush the tyranid menace. I used the Wrath of the Rock detachment and really enjoyed the extra durability it gives infantry. The strat to Oath a second target also came in very handy. Top performers were my terminator captain with the Ancient Weapons enhancement and the sternguard vets - definitely taking them in future lists! Haven't done too much painting recently but here are some WIP squads: I decided to paint the sternguard vets as company veterans, but kept the deathwing colours on the shoulderpads as a nod to the fact that they have the deathwing keyword in 10th ed. Unit of scouts (using black templar neophytes) - I'm expecting these guys to be very useful in future games. I've gone for a whole range of skin tones to represent the wide array of worlds that the Dark Angels recruit from. Finally, here is a group shot of all my currently painted greenwing. The sternguard and scouts should help flesh this out quite a lot! Brother Captain Vakarian, Rockybaerboa, Cpt.

Helias_Tancred Posted Saturday at 04:29 AM Share Posted Saturday at 04:29 AM Very clean 4th company heraldry on the left knees. Well done! Got any advice for someone else doing The Feared?

Got any advice for someone else doing The Feared? I paint the top half of the knee pad white and bottom half bone first, then paint a grid in black before finally filling in the alternating squares.

Helias_Tancred Posted Monday at 05:50 PM Share Posted Monday at 05:50 PM lol I'm at the age where my daily coffee quota is one cup in the morning and that is it! ... Next one I do I'm going to try a pencil for adding the grid for the top checked pattern. This time I used my brush.

Let me know how the pencil grid works out for you, anything to make the process easier! I've been painting my scouts recently who have a lot of leather and decided I wasn't happy with colour I'd been using for the army. I didn't want to re-paint every leather item but a simple coat of Snakebite Leather contrast did the trick! Only took half an hour or so to update the entire army. Here is Interrogator-Chaplain Sapphand to show off his new leather belt and holster: Pretty subtle difference but adds some saturation and orange tones that I really like!
