Gederas' Dark Angels: Paint it Black

[Gederas]

And since I was able to get some pictures while I was at the GW yesterday, here's a comparison of Primaris Sammael to my regular (and heavy metal) Sammael:

 

Additionally, my second ETL vow is now complete with these six models:

 

Now, onto the next one.

Excellent conversion work on that Primaris Sammael! Edited July 24, 2019 by Spaced Hulk

Excellent conversion work on that Primaris Sammael!

Thanks! I'm just sad I wasn't able to save his right shoulderpad, because he's got a very unique one. Then again, the other option would be painting the unique heraldry he has onto a regular pad..... :lol:

[Gederas]

Primaris'd Asmodai is done:

 

[Brother Captain Arkley]

Nicely converted and painted Gederas :)

[Gederas]

I forgot to post it here, but Vow's three and four are finished:

 

 

Completed:

I, Gederas, rise to the challenge of E Tenebrae Lux on the side of the Dark Angels and vow to complete a Primaris Master of total value 90pts points on or before Sept 1st, 2019.

 

 

Now I need to figure out what my last vow will be....

 

 

And now:

Okay, going for broke:

I, Gederas, rise to the challenge of E Tenebrae Lux on the side of the Dark Angels and vow to the below models for a of total value 596 pts points on or before Sept 1st, 2019.

• Pair of Primaris Lieutenants (Master-Crafted Auto-Bolt Rifles)
• Knight Warden (Avenger Gatling Cannon. Thunderstrike Gauntlet, Ironstorm Missile Pod, Meltagun)

 

Success will bring me eternal glory for the Lion and failure will doom me to wear the Badge of the Oathbreaker until the year-end.

 

THE FIRST KNIGHT OF HOUSE DULON SHALL WALK

Edited August 15, 2019 by Gederas

[Gederas]

Got the base coat, along with shade and drybrush highlights, done on the frame Knight Warden (still needs a name) for House Dulon:

 

Now I need to do the details, but the frame is otherwise done. Then it's just the armour plates. No base though, I don't know where my parts for doing Knight bases went :lol:

[Gederas]

Finally on the fun part of doing Knights, the Heraldry plates. Yes, that's marble on the black. Yes, the green and bone will be marble too.

 

Also, quick poster-tac mock-up.

[Gederas]

Finished the Knight and the Primaris LTs for the fifth and final vow of ETL VII:

 

 

I even painted in the eyes:

 

 

And with the other members of the final vow:

[Brother Captain Arkley]

Nice work man :)

[Gederas]

Nice work man

Thanks! I'll try and get all of my ETL models together for a big picture sometime this week.

[Gederas]

Well, this thread has been too quiet.

 

The reveal of the Lion's model though.... It's reinvigorated my drive to work on my First.

 

That and I also found where I misplaced by PopGoesTheMonkey Cataphractii pads and Hellblasters :lol:

 

 

So now I've got some stuff to work on while waiting for quarantine to be over.

[Gederas]

And got the Cataphractii all primed and ready:

[UtariOnzo]

Ooo nice, those the shapeways pads?

 

Edit: disregard, you literally said a post above ago. But yes, those pads look real nice. I’m looking at getting some for my successors

Yes, they are :lol:

 

In other words, I finished one of the Terminators (barring some Fenrisian Grey highlights):

[Gederas]

And that's all 10 Cataphractii done. Now I just need to wait for GW to re open so I can get their bases.... :lol:

[Dread]

I just went thru your whole thread and have to say wow! You have a great army there. The termies look sweet!

[Sandalphon]

Great work! Cool looking squads and those pads are sweet.. I remember there was a phase here (like 10yrs ago) where people were using dreadnought shin plates for terminator shoulder pads.. these guys have that same hulking frame feel.

[Gederas]

Thank you! That means a lot!

Thank you! And yeah, I think that was to emulate the Cataphractii terminators in the artwork... And then they go and make them in both resin and later, plastic.

 

Additionally, got a whole bunch of stuff primed:

 

21 Ravenwing Bikers, 6 Black Knights, a Land Speeder, Ravenwing Champion and Sammael on Sableclaw. The second picture is 10 more Hellblasters. The other 10 have to wait until I get more shoulder pads to prime them.

Just found this thread and your amazing army, really nice conversions combined with a unique take on the Dark Angels color scheme combine to make this a really inspiring read. I am really impressed by your takes on the primaris versions of classic special characters combined with your take on my favorite single line character in the Dark Angels in Helblaster sergeant Grellius. All in all really great stuff so keep on rocking in the Rock ;)

Speaking of conversions, I've started painting Sableclaw today:

 

I'm already dreading painting this brick.... :lol:

[Dread]

I understand that. Just take a deep breath and dive in. That's what I've been having to do. On my 3rd week of no working, once I get started painting, I'm good. Post pics soon.

I hear ya there. It's more that I've never painted a Javelin before, and since I'm using it as a kitbash for Sammael, I want it to look good.

 

In any case, this is what Sableclaw looks like currently:

 

Need to finish painting Sammael, or mostly finish him, because he needs to be glued in place before I fully attach the front end of the speeder to the back, as he doesn't slot in due to his cape.

Wow, that looks cool! I haven't seen that model before, is it GW?

[Gederas]

Yup! Well, Forge World, but technically same thing :lol:

 

It's a Javelin Attack speeder, specifically it's the Legion Javelin Attack Speeder with Lascannon.
