CTK's Blood Angels


Recommended Posts

Greetings Citizens of the Imperium (Or Denizens of the Warp).

 

For those interested, the Blood Angels were, and still are, my favourite SM chapter. It was a full page spread in WD of a BA force, that got me interested in 40K nearly 15 years ago. 10 years ago I built my first Blood Angel army. It was the first time I actually made a decent attempt to do a good job. My armies before that do not bare mentioning... Anywho. I've come and gone from 40K several times since then. And I regret I no longer own my first BA force.

 

With the upcoming C:BA release (and bordom and frustration with my Knights Templar project), I decided now would be a good time to start a new BA army. This time however, I am going to attempt to out do my previous works/projects in every respect. I am NOT going to resort to Washes for my shading/highlighting. I am NOT going to use metalic colours. It should be noted this is my very first attempt at NMM. It should also be noted that while I have done free hand work before, I have never done it to this level of detail.

 

Without further a do, I present for your viewing pleasure, my BA Death Company Chaplin.

As always C&C welcome. But please bare in mind, I know the NMM aren't the best out their, it is my first attempt.

thanks for posting this =],

Thank you for the appraisal Bud. But I see a lil chalange in there :D

 

I need to do WIP photos more, because I idn't do any while doing the free hand banner... Soooooo.. I painted another one =P Took me about an hour, although I did rush it somewhat. But I hope this satisfies.

 

I didn't have another banner available like the first, but I have plenty spare BT banners, so please excuse the BT icon on top.

I started by under coating with Chaos Black. then I dry brushed the lifted area with Shadow gray, followed by Fortress Gray. I then did a very light wash with Badab Black (which I didn't on the original) because I rushed it a bit.

I then outlined the main features in Shadow Gray.

After outlining the shapes, I painted the robes, border, cross and blood drops in Mechrite Red basecoat highlighted by Blood Red and then Blazing Orange. I shaded them with a 1:1 mix of Blood Red and Scorched Brown.

Next I painted the wing and spear tip with Shadow Gray, highlighting with Fortress Gray followed by Skull White.

After that, I painted the Skull and Arm using Kommando Khaki, hightlighting with Bleached Bone, followed by Skull white. Shading was done with Scorced Brown. I also at this stage painted the halo with Sunburst Yellow.

Once that was dry, I painted the spear shaft and the chalice using Scorched Brown, highlighting with Vomit Brown, with a final highlight of Skull White on the chalice only. At this stage, I also filled out the shield in chaos black and touched up any other areas that may need it.

Finally, I used pure Kommando Khaki to do the scroll/ribbon thing.

I am alway available to find a good home for spare bits ;)

 

Im sure the Mods wont mind so long as you keep it Blood Angel centric. (Or their successors.) (Edit: It seems I lost track of which forum I wandered into.)

 

Looking really cool either way.

An update is long since due me thinks..

 

Pics should be better than in the past as its a new better camera. I will say though, looking at these pics, they don't look like I did much highlighting. They are much more visible in flesh.

I'm playing around with less static poses. But when I do do a static pose, I try to add other details to them. Like the laser sight on this marine.

The Sargent and Heavy weapons Marine are magnetised so I can swap weapon load outs.

I love it. Your Sgt. Hecter model is one of the best posed minis I've seen in a long time, I love it (and intend to copy it... the greatest form of flattery! :blush:)

Thanks for the coments guys :)

 

How'd you do the laser sight on the boltgun? Toothpick? That would be too thick though...

 

The laser sight is made from a pin. Like the ones you get when you buy a new shirt. Just make sure you file the end off a lil, that's not just paint on there, lol.

 

those look great, i like that all your marines have a resin base. good attention to detail and modeling.

 

Actually, only the Chaplin is on a resin base. The bases the Tacticals and the Terminators are on, are all home made from Balsa wood and Poly-Filla. I'll do a tute on them if there is a call for it.

 

Good work on the chaplain, the banner looks great. :D

 

Did you change your red recipe for the newer stuff or is it just the light?

 

The recipy is the same for all. Any difference is probably due to lighting.

 

I undercoated them in Chaos Black spray. Then dry brushed 2 layers of Mecharite Red, followed by 2 layers of dry brushed Blood Red. Shaded with 1:1 mix of Blood Red and Scorched Brown (later discovered Dark Flesh does basically the same) And Highlighted with a 1:1 mix of Blood Red and Blazing Orange with a final highlight of Blazing Orange.

 

I love it. Your Sgt. Hecter model is one of the best posed minis I've seen in a long time, I love it (and intend to copy it... the greatest form of flattery! :D)

 

Be my guest :)

 

Thanks again folks. Will add more when they are done.

Hey folks. :D

My latest completed addition. The original is a nice figure, but completely out classed by the newer figures. So here is my own interpretation.

 

Lord Commander Dante.

I've used parts ferom the Sang Guard kit. The Inferno Pistol is from the Death Company sprew. And the Wings/Jet Pack are from the Sanguinor model.

For the NMM Gold, I used the painting Technique found in Aprils WD for the base colour and highlighting. But the shading is my first try with QuickShade strong tone, from TheArmyPainter.com.

 

Currently I am working on a Captain for the 2nd Co. Tycho, Corbulo using the Sang Guard kit, and a Space Hulk Libby. Pictures will hopefully follow wiothin the week.

 

C&C welcome as always.

 

May the Forth be with you ;)

 

EDIT: The base is a bought resin one. Not one I made.
