Gidion Posted June 24, 2006 Author Share Posted June 24, 2006 I use Gw Chaos Black Cheers Gidion Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/90287-painting-dark-angels/#findComment-1038684 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ephrael Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 Prime the whole model black and let dry. Stand the model upright on its base and spray dark angels green in a downward angle. This will get the green on the raised areas and leave black in the naturally shaded areas. Detain and you are done.

Dark_Vengeant Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 My version is as follows. Prime with GW black primer Paint on 2 thin coats of DA green. Highlight with lightened DA Green Wash with light black ink (Mixed with water and black not GW wash) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/90287-painting-dark-angels/#findComment-1038762 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mario Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 I use Gw Chaos Black Cheers Gidion My version would be similar to Dark_Vengeant's:Use Dark Angels Green (thinned) to paint the basecoat. You will need two or three layers. But leave the blacklining black and try to use the layers for shading. Shoulder pad example. Cover nearly the whole pad with the first layer. Now with the second start a bit further up and should have a bit of shading done already. After two or three layers you should have a bit of shading and the basecoat. Now just add some Snot Green or Rotting Flesh to the Dark Angels Green and add the highlights. Add more of the lighter colour for following layers and if you want finish it with pure white.

Jansuh Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 This is my method: Black basecoat 2-3 thin layers DA-green black-ink wash highlight 1: 50/50 Da/snot highlight 2: 20/80 Da/snot highlight 3: snotgreen highlight 4 (just the outer edges) 50/50 snot/scorpion There's a DA-thread of my army in the PC&A, if you want to know how this looks. Just use searchy ^_^ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/90287-painting-dark-angels/#findComment-1038952 Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisLS Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 Here, I actually wrote a tutorial that Shadow Guard put up on the Fortress of Unforgiven site. Check it out: Lazy Painter's Guide to Dark Angels It's pretty simple, and notes some areas that it is OK to skip in the interest of time.

Black and White Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 well what i do is spray black, paint anything that you want to be DA green straight DA green, dont worry bout obscuring detail just get it on there. Highlight with a thin line of goblin green, then mix some dark green ink with chaos black and wash all the green parts. Extremely quick, and it looks pretty good too.

Brother Lysander Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 Head over to the Fortress for three different ideas (plus Ravenwing and Deathwing): Painting Dark Angels I personally borrowed from ChrisLs Lazy guide (cheers), worked fine for me.

I've heard it is no longer available, but there are still a few cans around.

Nostromo Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 Here, I actually wrote a tutorial that Shadow Guard put up on the Fortress of Unforgiven site. Check it out: Lazy Painter's Guide to Dark Angels Very similar to the way i do it. Basecoat: Spray/paint the model black Paint eyes as described Paint armour DA-Green (Water/color usually 1:2) and make sure that any recessed parts stay black. Paint raised areas of armour with thin lines of 2:2:1 DA Green, Gobbo Green, Water Paint the most exposed edges with even thinner lines of 1:2:1 DA Green, Gobbo Green, Water Clean up any messed up parts and go on for the details. by the way: i assemble the torso and the legs before step 1. Depending on the pose, the arms (and sometimes the head) are painted separately.
