Gathering of Angels : the start of a new journey

[Master Avoghai]

Hi Folks,

I start a new project now, and I'd like to share with you. I've almost finished my Combat Company project and will post the result before the end of the year (miss only a few HW for devastator squads and to paint the transport).

So i was looking for a new long-term project. I already owned a strong Tzeentch force needing a few tweeks to be playable. I've tried to play Saim Hann but didn't appreciate the style of play...

... And actually I can't resolve myself not painting DA related anymore...

So I started my reflexion... My first thought was to buy 6 DV sets and paint them in the colour scheme of each sucessor... But this solution, wouldn't have brought things that I don't already have...

Then I thought about what new possibilities GW gave us with the new allies system....

And the idea came suddendly : make 1000pts lists using the chapter traits and use them as count as unforgiven chapters.

So here's the result :

• Angels of Redemption : White Scars (because they are supposed to redeploy fast following any rumours)
• Consecrators : Iron Hands (because they keep the old tanks and relics)
• Angels of Vengeance : Blood Angels (because of their brutal reputation)
• Guardians of the Covenant : Black Templars (because of their monk organization)
• Disciples of Caliban : Ultramarines (because they are the youngster and are unlikely to be organized like the primogenitor)
• Angels of Absolution : Imperial Fist (because of their standard organization and discipline)

I've started with the White Scars/ Angels of redemption. mainly because I owned the models of the list and because WS are one of the most powerful SM chapters in the current meta. Therefore, they can constitute a strong allies in future tough games.

I'll post a link to the list once I post it in the vanilla army list section.

I've started with the HQ choice. This will be a chapter master on bike with the standard wargear (TH & Shield Eternal). But I wanted to make him switchable into a count as Sammael in Apocalypse games or if I wanted to use my AoR with the DA codex.

That's why I've used the maxmini jet bike and make a Elmo-patten Plasma Cannon.

Then the 1st troops choice : scouts with sniper rifle.

I've found inspiration into Radjen's work to make hooded scouts.

Next step : the bikes

Hope you'll like this new project

The scouts are primed and hopefully will be painted before the end of the week.

Perfect i would have been sad if you stop painting DA :) the mximini jet bike conversion looks really good !

[Gillyfish]

Nice idea! Given your past models, I'm really looking forward to seeing how this pans out. :)

[Chaplain Lucifer]

I applaud on trying to get a differnet jetbike, but that model is not in the least atractive to me. But if yoou bling Sammael good I may overlook that! :D

[elmo]

"Elmo-patten Plasma Cannon"

 

:P

 

Brave work on the jetbike. I sort of like it but I would like to see it with rider and painted before I pass judgement.

 

Not asking for much am I. ;)

[Master Avoghai]

The squad of scouts is finished

[Spaced Hulk]

Excellent work Brother Avoghai! The counts-as Sammael is awesome, and I really like the hooded scouts as well.

[Bryan Blaire]

Really liking your new stuff, Master Avoghai! One thought on the Sammael stand-in: he is going to get so many bugs in his teeth riding around like that! :devil:

 

He looks awesome though!

[deathspectersgt7]

Awesome!!! Bugs=protein.

[Flam]

Everything looks awesome!
Wow hooded scouts, what a great idea!

[Master Avoghai]

Still nothing get painted for now...

The AoR Sammael is done...

 

Need to do the arm with TH and the relic shield.

[Master Avoghai]

The consecrators are on the way to receive reinforcements as a LS javelin.

Nothing new then unless the wonderful work done by Niels of Studio Aphelion

 

I've asked him to realize the symbol of each successor to put on my vehicles.

 

Enjoy

[Interrogator Stobz]

Javelins are such cool models MA, great project you are developing here too :tu: I'm sorry i missed it until today.

 

BS

[Spaced Hulk]

The finished AoR Sammael is excellent, as is the Consecrators breacher captain!

 

For some reason I didn't realise how big the Javelin land speeders actually are! Makes the old metal RW land speeder I've got stashed away look like a jet bike :) Look forward to seeing it in the Consecrators colour scheme brother.

[Master Avoghai]

The consecrators' javelin is done!
