Blood angels & Successors Army Blog

Hi all, I've been gone for a long time due to an injury to my right hand - I've since learned to to become somewhat ambidextrous (i.e. duff with both hands!) ! ;p

 

I've just painted my first mini in a long time, and started another, painting is sloooow due to getting shaky, but I hope to get them all finished and use them both in Space Hulk & on the table top (After painting will be magnetic 40mm bases).

 

Anyway, I've completed Brother Goriel in 90's style blood angels 'orange' effect (or as close as I can get with modern paints - please excuse the poncy photo I was getting carried away):

The next is Brother Scipio, I've started his armour (glazes and finishing highlights to go) but have come up with a quandary.

 

He is an Angels Vermillion terminator (using the old GW dark scheme), and his chest eagle will be the same bright yellow as Goriel.

 

any general feedback on painting also appreciated!! - I intend to paint each termiantor as a different 'Angel' (mainly blood angels, successors etc. but not lamenters).

Just finished Brother Scipio :o I think he's quite a contrast to Goriel! But I hope the yellow eagle theme and green purity seals/eyes will link them all when complete :)

 

Any feed back appreciated!

OK so here is the dreadnought pre-painting:

I'm trying to utilise spares and bits (or very cheap ebay bits) to make everything so far, so the conversion is pretty simple :)

 

Also, here's a kitbashed Tac squad sarge (base coated in grey):

Cheers <_< very kind! ;p

 

Yup, I'm going to have 5 diff terminators in the 'squad' (forgot when I started you can't mix terminator assault/tactical marines ;p )

 

And then a squad (tac/tac/dev/assault/other) of each chapter represented, plus a few vehicles I think :D

Quick update - dreadnought armour using the new range of GW reds/oranges, pre-transparent yellow :drool: (the arms/torso are all removable - just held there while it dries).

Couple of quick updates, painting is still painfully slow due to the hand, but getting there :)

OK another quick update, managed to get a bit more painting done tonight, though it was going so slow the paint was drying on the palette ;p lol (might have to break out the old wet palette ;p). Anyway, please let me know what you think so far? I still need to decide on company markings (though figure the massive skull puts him in the first company ;p, I'm trying to stick to the old 80's/90's colour schemes I grew up with, with some modern additions (and avoiding metallic paint as I feel it clashes too heavily with the reds (just my opinion).

(Just a note, the light in my room isnt great, the engine casing red is much darker than the rest of the armour and the wing is not that glossy and is shaded! ;p

 

*edit* also, I'm after ideas with what to do with quirky power fist, I'm tempted to paint black or yellow teardrops on the finger panels, or to make it a darker red? I'm trying to avoid 'battle damage' as I want to keep the clean look, so any ideas please?

OK, bar varnishing (and figuring out basing - the black can stay for now ;p) he's done:

 

Meet Venerable Brother Torn, veteran of the Eyrie prophet war - any comments appreciated!

That's a pretty nice dread you got there! I like what you ended up doing to the fist. The only thing that puts me off a bit is the wing, it just seems kind of random to me. However, that is my only qualm, and it is a small one at that. The rest of it looks fantastic.

Thanks a lot :D for the great comments :)

 

The wing is a 'trophy' from a campaign in which he was crippled (and interred) while in turn defeating the enemy (Dark Eldar Haemoculus creation imitating an 'angel') and ripping off one of its wings... ;p

 

Hopefully when the rest of the army is done, it will blend in better, as a few sergeants/characters are going to feature similar sweeping wings (e.g. the base coated sergeant further up the posts - who now has a blood drop modelled onto the wing).

 

Thanks!

 

**edit**

 

and just stripped these :)

Quick update on kit bashed sergeant ;p

 

http://i651.photobucket.com/albums/uu240/nurglespuss/IMAG0359.jpg

 

OK done bar shoulder/banner markings, base etc. but you get the general idea. This id the first 'regular' blood angel I think I've ever painted... I found the face very difficult and just couldn't get proper dexterity, but it looks suitably angry I think? Comments and feed back always appreciated ^_^

OK so sergeant completed, bar basing ;) I think he looks like he's suitably peeved off at someone! ;p

 

Any comments appreciated! A pity he can't 'really' have both his weapons, in game terms, its just a big sword ;p

Nice models. I really like the old school colors. The stripped model on the right is one of my favorites. He did some time as a devastator sergeant in a DIY chapter I had. Don't take this the wrong way, but something about the sarge's head is hitting me wrong. He Man in drag is the first thing that comes to mind.

Why could he not have both weapons? A power wepon and a plasma gun are allowed to be taken by a srg. at the same time. Other than his face i like it, you do a nice job on the small freehand details. The face is just... I dunno, i feel like the hair would go well with a regal face, and the face would go well with little or no hair - both together just dont fit right for me :P

Assault on black reach heavy bolter kit bash, used dry brushing and some final highlights this time as a bit less painful! B)

 

p.s. I know I made a tired boo boo and painted the shoulder chapter symbol yellow! Never mind, its an honour marking ;p The rest will be black ;)

Just a quick one, I've used up my stock of nits and bobs (well the ones I have to make whole space marines ;p)

So just need two more to complete the squad.

 

And... have a rhino on the way :P - thanks Ebay!

Awsome! ;) Can't wait to see the transports! Dont forget to post a link to this post (if you want this post to contain your WIP pics for the challenge) and pics of minis before you start painting them.
