Chaplain Lucifer Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 I decided to re-build my DA army.. after having sold the "green marines" and the Deathwing, keeping only Ravenwing (decision I now have come to regret) I decided it was time for a re-build, this time in the form of the less seen but equally cool Sucessor Angels of Redemption after a former failure to rebuild in the form of Angels of Vigilance (I can't paint yellow good enough) . Rebuild will be a long and slow process that I will document here on B&C. here's first models (command squad): The left one was test model made by a friend, the rest will follow that same patter and are WIP. In the works is also a Whirlwind tank. BTW: I still struggle with robe colour.. any suggestions besides the obvious black? maybe Dark red? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Master Belial Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 I went Dark Brown for my AoR. Looking good for a start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isiah Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 Hey I wondered what had happened to that AoV test model I remember seeing. Best of luck with this project – the greatest challenge will be getting the join straight where the different coloured armour meets For robes: Black or dark brown are good suggestions but a bit dull maybe (?). Try a mid-to-dark purple. Check out the Chapter Master on the back cover of the DA Codex – always loved that colour with DA green and bleached bone. edit: check this colour from a post in the the Hall of Honour PCA section Cheers I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interrogator Stobz Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 Looking great so far, Mr Chaplain Sir. I'd say you have set yourself a TONNE of work to create a whole army shaded to that excellent standard, I can't wait to see more. Isiah raises a very good point about the robes, if you can find a way to lift them up a bit they would be better. Maybe a bit of cross hatching drybrushing to give the texture of cloth then washed a red or crimson to create a point of difference? That said, as long as you are happy with the end result, they look brilliant so far. Keep it up stobz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Semper Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 Excellent! Keep it up! I always liked the scheme but find it difficult to implement - especially the bone-white part of the armour. Look forward for more stuff. The more successors the better! On the robes I tried a blue-black for my Disciples but it turned out too dark. Plus the blue(ish) highlights and green didn't work as well as I have hoped for. It's still OK but... However in your case with the bone-white element the contrast looks very nice. On purple... I don't know. First off I personally find it too "regal" to impose on all robed figures. For the Master it'll look fine (if done correctly - my skill is kind of limited on this front) but for all robed figures it is too much. I guess you could try the brown - but what you've done is nice and unique. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaplain Lucifer Posted July 6, 2011 Author Share Posted July 6, 2011 Time for an update. Not having the dark purple in my possession and wanting tio finish the said veterans ASAP (for a campaign) I had to make do with brown for robes.. they turned out OK, specially after a magic badab black wash... Still WIP but closer to the end... next will be the whirlwind tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isiah Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 Looking good so far :rolleyes:. The shade of brown works fine and the 'majik' badab black works wonders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coot83 Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 The regular tac marine looks awesome. I think it is because the hard work isnt covered with a robe like the vets are. Coot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Toddius Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 Lookin good brutha. Can't go wrong with the Angels of Redemption paint scheme. Have you decided to go with a split scheme for the vehicles or quartered? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaplain Lucifer Posted July 7, 2011 Author Share Posted July 7, 2011 Lookin good brutha. Can't go wrong with the Angels of Redemption paint scheme. Have you decided to go with a split scheme for the vehicles or quartered? This update will answer that question. Half scheme. I thought of quartered but painting half is hard enough so I decided to KISS-it. Plus: the banner Not yet complete... the 4th company (IV) plus a enigmatic lightning bolt splittting an "Unknown" planet. Not 100% pleased but it will have to do for now... 1 year without touching a brush, my freehand skills are still rusty. Veterans are 90% complete and so far I'm pleased with them. This weekend I'll start the terminators if all goes well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isiah Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 The Whirlwind is looking ace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Master Belial Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 Note of caution on the Terminators. The Chapter symbol switches to the green side on the Terminators. The black wings will disappear into the green. You might want to paint the wings a different color. Red to match the Tac squad, grey as a lighter black, or keep them the same color as the skull - white/bone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gillyfish Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 Very nice and the dark brown works really well. You could try purple robes for characters to differentiate them a little more. Might I suggest a metallic colour for the chest eagles - it might help to give you some more options and variety. At the moment, the eagles suffer from having dark green on one half.

Chaplain Lucifer Posted July 8, 2011 Author Share Posted July 8, 2011 Well, an expected day off from work and I could keep some momentum. Better (hopefully!) pictures from the work done so far. Vets only need basing and a few touches. Dreadnought is complete. Whirlwind is at 90% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaplain Lucifer Posted July 16, 2011 Author Share Posted July 16, 2011 Busy week, not much time for painting.. but I have some small updates terminator squad almost finished terminator.. I'm not sure on the battle damage.. the recipe looks good on the bone, but on the green side battle damage doesn't show as much... i'm using a 50/50 black/codex grey for the chipping... Not sure it it should be black/brown.. but then it could not look good on the bone side... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Master Toddius Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 I dig the Dark Brown robes with that color scheme. It has a nice neutral effect on the green and bone. I like how this is coming together! Keep goin, battle brother. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaplain Lucifer Posted November 7, 2011 Author Share Posted November 7, 2011 Well real life has been keeping me busy.. but I think it's stabilising. SO I have no new updates on painting, but I got new additions to the AoR Rarmy. I'm now the proud owner of half of the first company. 3 land raider cruisaders, 5 dreadnougts, 22 TH&SS terminators (LOL) and 2 belial versions, amongst others. here's the 2 belial:'s Better conversions than I could ever pull, one of the reasons I bought the army. I'm not too happy with the converted cyclones, but I can live with them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
