demio Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 Evening all. (Here anyway) http://image.bolterandchainsword.com//public/style_emoticons/#EMO_DIR#/tongue.gif Ok so I'm not going to bore you with my life story so to sum it up I have been away from Dark Angels for about 4 years now and have made a few attempts at rejoining the ranks. This will be the one! So I have decided I wanted a paint At the moment this is going to just be a painting log but once the new codex comes I will add battle reports and anything else I can think of. Next up is a Land Raider Crusader and Librarian from the space hulk box. What you all think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avon Rekaes Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 Very nice! Interesting choice on the army-drab olive green. Blends a lot more subtlely with the bone-white than the standard Dark Angels green. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frejdruk Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 I have to say they look awesome! As said, great choice with that particular green, it fits splendidly! Those are all from Dark Vengeance, right? I have to say those models are surprisingly good, for a starter kit :P Looking forward to the next things to come, especially the librarian! Are you going to paint him entirely blue as dictated by the Roboute's old tome? Nice work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AngelVeto Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 Bags, I keep a certain spot on my backside baby smooth just for robute! All of my librarians will be chapter/company specific with some blue bits to signify their status in the ranks of librarian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Semper Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 These look amazing Demio - this is a worthy return indeed! I like the green too - seems a bit more olive than forest green and the bone looks superb! I see you went for an alternate color for the shoulder pads. What prompt that descision? The contrast with the red DW markings? Cant wait to see more - escpecially sice you'll be adding all sort of stuff into this project log! Keep it up! :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demio Posted November 16, 2012 Author Share Posted November 16, 2012 Cheers for the great comments! Frejdruk - the Librarian is probably going to be blue as I feel like it will break up the army colour a fair bit. Especially since the army is a fairly dull colour scheme anyway. To be honest I'm not sure whether I want to paint the Librarian or the Land Raider first. Any suggestions? Captain Semper - I know its hard to see but all the shoulder pads are painted randomly, there is no order to it. I didn't want to be tied in to one strict paint scheme. If you like when I'm home from work I can put pictures of all 5 so you can see what I mean. Once again cheers for rhe comments! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frejdruk Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 I will suggest that you do the land raider first then. My reasoning is that it is both expensive points-wise, thereby increasing the size of your painted army, and rather boring to paint :P Then, afterwards, you can reward yourself for a job well done by painting a librarian, which should be a lot more enjoyable ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngelVeto Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 just realized that in my haste to talk bad about Gulliman I forgot to sing your praises for such well painted models. I apologize Brother. They are quite stunning. I like that we are going to be sharing the Red Robes and accents! always good to find a frater with better taste then the rest! :) ( I jest, I jest) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Moridius Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 I like these guys a lot demio! I'm usually not the biggest fan of the half n' half marines but by using the 'duller' green it really brings all together to a nice matte palette and looks great. If you dont mind a bit of cnc, the grey weapon housings are cool but could use a bit more to make them look less flat. Not sure if thats just the camera washing out the colours or a lighter edge highlight is needed maybe? Dont take this too seriously though as I am usually full of crap. Keep up the great work!

Moridius I know what you mean about the grey. The problem I found when I origionally painted them with more highlights and a bit of blending they seemed to kind of stand out a bit to much if that makes any sense. I'm gonna try something different on the next bunch as I'm content with how these turned out. If the next guys look better I will alter these guys. Thanks again everyone.

Komodo Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Great termies! I like your color-scheme, unique and looks great. Keep it up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interrogator Stobz Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 I can't believe I've not opened this thread in a week, Really nice colour choice there Brother Demio. I particularly like the way you have varied from the plain half and half scheme, for example the fingers and hand parts of the fists. Neato. And the red is great, keeping a limited palette is a great way to create visual cohesion. Very grimdark, cool. Stobz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
facmanpob Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 For some reason I thought I'd commented on this thread, then realised I hadn't - really cool terminators, the colour pallette is understated (which is nice to see) and beautifully executed. :huh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MithrilForge Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 great idea on the green !! really nice termies there. i'd say paint the libby as we get to see something painted sooner rather than later :P keep up the goodwork.

demio Posted November 22, 2012 Author Share Posted November 22, 2012 Cheers for all the great comments guys. Really pushing me to do more! The Land Raider should hopefully be done by Sunday ( should have been Saturday but my Wife made me go watch some awful film about vampires and werewolves). Stobz - just want to say your models are amazing but you need to be painting faster. I want to see the Thunderhawk! How you getting on with it? ;) Cheers again everyone!

Brother Immolator Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Cant wait to see the LR, the squad is looking very intimidating. And I like the olive shade of the colour. Well done brother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demio Posted November 24, 2012 Author Share Posted November 24, 2012 So I pledged the Land Raider for my November vow. The problem is I am really stuck with it! Tanks as I have found out are in no way my strong point! This is what I have done so far. I genuinely want to know what your guys think so far, any ideas or suggestions would be great. I just feel like this is lacking so much. Is it just me or is it just deceiving until I finish??? Help!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Captain Arkley Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 If thats lacking I'm soo screwed:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interrogator Stobz Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 Your progress is excellent, carry on ;) Very cool battle damage, you are a brave man to do it so heavily. Cudos the execution, it looks great. BTW: My THawk will be some time yet. Stobz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Captain Arkley Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 ( should have been Saturday but my Wife made me go watch some awful film about vampires and werewolves). I think you should report to the Interrogator Chaplains ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaplain Lucifer Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 IMHO it has too much battle damage going on and I'm not a fan of the red frag assault launchers. I think it also needs mud on tracks and bottom of tank to provide some more contrast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
