Thanks guys

 

for those of you who have waited for tactical marines:

I won't be painting more DV tactical marines as those 4 that left are identical with those already painted. I will add 4 more marines (perhaps robed ones) in the future but not now.

 

Dark Vengeance's Dark Angels Force all painted:

and so the story ends here - at least that of Dark Vengeance...

 

 

It is the right time now to head for The Eye Of Terror...

I suppose you won't be seeing me here for some time as I have started painting DV Chaos Marines in Black Legion Colours. Chaos Miniatures are way harder to paint then DA.

 

Anyway, if you find this intresting I will be posting some WIP pictures later on Chaos forum. Don't worry though - I am not switching sides - I just want to try some new techniques before our re-release ;)

Congrats on having your stuff on GW's site again! You sir are a masterful painter and modeller (can't wait to see you finish some DW Knights...). I only wish I could have purchased your amazing chaplain off ebay, one of the few auctions I have lost :(

 

I see GW showed your greenwing painted with old GW paints and listed how you painted them with the new paint colors. Do you have a new paint recipie for DW using the new paints that can achaive a matching color to what you have already?

 

Keep up the good work on your chaos and angels!

Hi,

 

Thank you very much !

 

I was suprised to see my miniatures on the website again as they haven’t informed me about that. They changed my paint recipes to fit with the new paints – I really do not have an idea whether the new paints are equivalent with the old ones or not - I do not use them. I have a large stock of old paints so i do not need the new ones right now. That’s why I cannot tell if they match.

 

As for the latest DA release I have to say that I am really pleased. Lots of cool looking models (a modellers dream I would say) .

 

I won’t give any feedback about the rules as I simple do not care about them – it seems that most of the people are rather interested in cool rules than models and painting but it is not in my case. I like fluff, backgorund, models and than the rules. Sorry guys but it does not really matter for me whether Azrael’s sword is AP2 or AP3 or if I can equip my assault marines with shields etc.. In my opinion DA always sucked on the battlefield so I got used to bad rules – but as I said - I’ve never really cared about them.

 

I ordered the limited edition codex just for the sake of having a collector’s item and beacause I have all the older codexes.

 

All in all good luck with your painting vows and I wish you happy gaming nonetheless :)

 

Cheers,

Hi guys. Long time no hear ;)

 

Haven't been around for some time but I haven't forgotten the 1st Legion,

thanks guys - glad you like him.

 

Was it nice to paint ? To be honest NO. The cast is horrible - so many holes, rough surface - true nightmare to paint. I did fill most of the gaps and holes with GS but I coudln't fix the rough and cracked surface (especially seen on the back of the miniature - only robe was fine).

 

I bought three finecast minis - Belial, Asmodai and Standard Bearer and only Beial is horrible - other guys have far better cast.

Welcome back Brother b, great work on Belial. Even though he is not the flashest model you have made him look cool.

 

I Second a sword recipe/tutorial, that's wicked!!

 

BTW, do you have a normal copy of the dex too? It's actually nicer to read than the LE one and will complete your collection ;)

 

:D

@Brother Capt. Lucian - my bone recipe is fully described somewhere in this thread :) Generally it is a mix of old Khemri Brown / Bleached Bone and Skull White - main colour is above mix in ratio: 1:2:2 

 

@Brother Bobz - thank you valiant brother :) Haven't bought normal copy of the dex yet (I will buy it in the near future) but I am such a freak that before reading the ltd one I wash three times my hands and read it through the foil...I think Lion would be proud :)

 

Painting sword was quite fun. I used glazing as a main method and I glazed, glazed and glazed...very time cosuming. Steps below:

 

1. Hawk Turquise / Shadow Grey as basecoat

2. I added some skull white to the mix and painted the brighter areas as on pictures.

3. I followed with adding more skull white to the mix and glazed it on the brighter areas several times until I was satisfied with the colour.

4. More skull white added to the mix.

5. even more skull white added :)

5. Final highlight only on the edges with pure skull white :)
