teku Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Very nice looking Nipple Wing! Good luck with them in tournaments! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZAChos Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Looking forward to seeing this pan out. Sounds like an interesting army to play, although no doubt very fragile due to lack of models on the table. Tend to be the most fun armies in my experience though. Looking forward to seeing them painted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackbabyjesus Posted March 15, 2012 Author Share Posted March 15, 2012 gold always believe in your soul you've got the power to know you're indestructible always believe in, because you are gold glad that you're bound to return there's something I could have learned you're indestructible, always believe in.... Took about 20 mins, airbrush + vallejo model air. Sadly, shading and highlighting it all is going to take the best part of a day, bummer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subtlebrush Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 I do love me some Sanguinary Guard! Looks great so far! If I hadn't made a huge purchase on used Sisters of Battle I would have went with Sanguinary Guard (super fast and somewhat cheap to build). Cannot wait to see some more progress. +++Mr.M+++ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackbabyjesus Posted May 21, 2012 Author Share Posted May 21, 2012 So I've been slacking off the blood angels by being busy with stupid stuff like work, but I've had some leave the last few days and instead of enjoying the sunshine like a normal person I've done some painting instead. They're rapidly approaching completion, really just the glaives to do and the little details on the guns (chalices, scrolls, skulls, etc). After that I'll make a start on the sanguinary priests, which I'm really quite looking forward to, it'll make a change from gold, which is also a pain in the backside to photograph! here's the pictures: This one is a good representation of the gold, but ruins the other stuff this one the details look right, but the gold looks off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

subtlebrush Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 The boys are looking really good. Cant wait to see more progress! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackbabyjesus Posted May 24, 2012 Author Share Posted May 24, 2012 'Line Troops' (40pts each!!!) are now complete! Sort of. Banner still needs painting, will do it last, hate those things. Bases also are undone at the moment, still deciding what to do with them, I'm leaning towards muddy with small tufts of grass, but will decide at the end. Sanguinary priests are next, nothing done on them yet, but will make a start this afternoon hopefully. Here's the pics: Comments/criticism etc gladly received.

blackbabyjesus Posted May 24, 2012 Author Share Posted May 24, 2012 oooh, actually, just realised that I lied massively there, the priests are primed: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackbabyjesus Posted May 24, 2012 Author Share Posted May 24, 2012 started work on the priests, well, basecoated the red anyway: Just dark flesh airbrushed over a white undercoat so far, will bring them up to a proper red this evening I think.

Brother apocalyptic Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 looks really good there... Would be nice to have a few close ups of the guards.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlexCrute Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 You have me confused Sir BBJ, vis: I like your models far more than the stock models. I like your models far more than the Studio SG in the codex/WD etc. But your models aren't actually anything nonstandard at all, bar the clipping of the wings. Maybe you're just one of these guys who carefully poses his miniatures, and can make anything look good. Painting - while not showy or spectacular - is very well done indeed.

blackbabyjesus Posted September 10, 2012 Author Share Posted September 10, 2012 These guys have been neglected for long enough, and I have decided that it's finally time to finish them! To that end, I vow that all of these models will be painted, based and varnished by the 23rd september 2012! Step one... Sang priests, DONE. Dante has begun, blocking in colours with foundation paints at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpha PTP Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 The army looks top notch and I really am a fan of the purple. If you really want to go the extra mile, I would try and add a little more contrast on the white, and use some gloss varnish on all of the gems and eyes. You're going to be staring at these guys from probably three feet away most of the time when they are on the table, so having what looks like almost a solid block of white makes it look like it was highly rushed. Other than that, I don't have anything else left to say. Awesome job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackbabyjesus Posted September 17, 2012 Author Share Posted September 17, 2012 DING! Dante is done: Awful photo I know, all my camera equipment has been packed up prior to a forthcoming deployment... so iPhone pics are all I've got right now! All that's left to do now is the banner and the bases, then it's varnish time :sick: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lhg033 Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 they're gorgeous! the red in particular on the priests - this is what i imagine BA red to be any chance of the colours used? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moric Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 These are some wonderful blood angels a fitting retinue for their chapter master.Really well done, cant wait to see them complete with bases and banner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newtype Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 They all look fantastic! The detail stands out on the gold, and with the red of the Priests, it will be a sight to see on the table top. Inspiring! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackbabyjesus Posted August 4, 2013 Author Share Posted August 4, 2013 it's ALIIIIIIIIIIVE!!! so I'm kinda back, just had an operation which has put me off work for a long time so I decided it's high time I finish these guys off! the final piece of the puzzle was the banner and I've made a start... just under a year since I last painted anything so I'm a bit rusty: more to come soon! Also, bases, what do you guys think? I'm working towards just brown with tufts of grass, it's dull but effective? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midnightmare Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Nice to see the project back, they are looking great and banner doesn't look like your too rusty to me! As for the bases, I would go dark brown/grass combo with a black rim so as to contrast the gold. Hang on, thats exactly what I do use......
