Chaplain Raeven Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 And the base issue... I curse and applaude GW on the switch. All my old models are on 25mm bases. Id rather put my money into models, not buying bases, so I think I'll be scratch building new ones :s But you're right, the more you look at the old ones, the more you feel that tug to upscale Well, even though they are done... I'm still pretty tempted to re-base. Oh man. It must be contagious because now I am second guessing if I want to continue forward building without upgrading to the 32mm bases. It would only be a few squads... Sorry! Seems like I have opened Pandora's Box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major_Gilbear Posted August 18, 2016 Author Share Posted August 18, 2016 Thanks again for the kind words! Well I went through my colossal box of bases and fished out a couple of dozen 32mm bases. I'll do them up and try a model on one before I make the final call, but am now leaning towards rebasing! :P I also decided to select some Veteran models to make a quick squad of five. I went with three bolters with big box mags, a plasma gun, and an Apothecary. As I still have a further 50 CoVet models, I'm open to suggestions for good weapon loadouts. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gezabutla Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 You've done an excellent job making the power armour look interesting. It can be very easy for uniformly coloured power armour to look bland. Being Dark Angels, you can't go wrong with plasma, and sergeants with storm bolters are cool.

Isiah Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Major_Gilbear your models are nothing short of stunning. And I say that not being a fan of airbrushed models - but yours just 'work' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlamingDeth Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 I had to do a double take at your pictures to make sure. I hereby declare you the super official King of Blending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FinylCut Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 Major_Gilbear: Your tactical squad is one of the best Dark Vengeance squads I've seen. You nailed the green. Thanks for sharing. FC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abachrael Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 I think your paint jobs are nothing short of AMAZING. I am getting quite a few ideas from your pictures. Specially, while I am fairly satisfied with my own models, I see that I could have improved them considerably by generously applying of Biel-tan wash or a similar product.I didn't use a wash on the green boys as my Dark Angels are very, very dark already, although I do it thoroughly on my Deathwing models (Seraphim sepia over Ushabti bone base). Now I wish I had washed them, for sure. Absolutely excellent work, brother. I'd love to see more pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackTriton Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 I look at those picture and wish i could paint models like that :( then remembered i also want an army done, and feel a little better :) I can just guess how much work it is to get this kind of quality, makes you really appreciate the result even more!

Major_Gilbear Posted April 29, 2018 Author Share Posted April 29, 2018 I know this plog is eighteen months old (), but I'm bumping it so that it can be preserved from the forum clean-up. Despite the reasons for the thread-necro, I have been making a little progress here and there (just not enough to merit recording), and I'd like to share it here when I'm done.

Chaplain Raeven Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 You know the rules Major, Necromancing a thread that has been dead for this long requires more than excuses, it requires an offering! Offer us those juicy pics of progress, and the Emprah shall be pleased. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
