Mordas Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 Hey guys, Been reading alot of the lore recently and seems we have had it a bit tough. I am proud to throw my forces into the defence of Baal! Thought I would introduce my Blood Angels army and see what everyone thought: Currently waiting for the new contrast paints to arrive tomorrow to start work on some Primaris reinforcements.

Zebulon Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 (edited) That’s a good looking force you’ve got there! :tu: If I may be so bold, might you be interested in putting those Primaris you mention forward in the ETL? Edit: linky http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/356287-blood-angels-outpost/ No pressure though Edited June 16, 2019 by Zebulon Helias_Tancred and Majkhel 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jolemai Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Nice collection you've got there; I'm sure the Primaris reinforcements will be a good addition and welcome to the B&C :) Helias_Tancred 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mordas Posted June 17, 2019 Author Share Posted June 17, 2019 Thanks all, I think the original plan was to re-create the 3rd Company. My favourite character is Captain Tych, who has served me well in recent games (survived a full storm raven firing at him). But that plan fell away over the years and I just kept buying models, from the space hulk terminators to all of our fantastic last releases they just kept coming. This isn't my complete collection there are more models to finish in my home office too! I have just sprayed my next batch to paint and these will be going in my first ever vow this week. (hope contrast paints okay? excited to try these out). Zebulon, Helias_Tancred and Damon Nightman 3 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mordas Posted June 22, 2019 Author Share Posted June 22, 2019 Thanks for the comments guys, here is my progress so far on my first vow: Got to say I have enjoyed using the contrast paints (only on the red and boltguns) it does feel weird painting with these new techniques though.

Panzer Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 If you hadn't said the red is contrast paint I wouldn't have guessed it. Maybe it's the distance but it looks like a really solid layer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dont-Be-Haten Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 Pretty sharp force you have there mate. At some point I need to update my Carmine Blade Blog to show where my force has moved to since I started them a few years back!Keep up the good work! -Cheers!

Mordas Posted July 2, 2019 Author Share Posted July 2, 2019 hi guys, haven't gotten as far as I wanted, still recovering from nerve damage so quite tired all the time and little time to paint. Hope to get these guys done soon and onto the next vow :D Majkhel, Spyros, Dont-Be-Haten and 2 others 5 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blindhamster Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 How are you finding the contrast paints? Seem to be helping you progress at a good rate! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mordas Posted July 12, 2019 Author Share Posted July 12, 2019 I really like them, they do take a bit of getting used to though. Those Reivers where undercoated the old fashioned way btw. The white contrast I put over Corax white spray for the apothecary and I really like the finished look, it is a very slight grey but highlights well and as I hate painting white its perfect. Once I finish the apothecary I will get a side by side photo with a tradition painted one so you can see. The red is really nice, I put it over Grey Seer base but found that two coats of the Red make the colour pop a little more. You do have to watch out for pooling on the model though, shoulder pads and primaris legs seem really bad for this. Any mistakes you can just re-base and then cover over with the contrast again so that's nice and easy. It is a timesaver, yes, but I agree with a lot of the pro painters who reviewed them, they are a great tool in your box. I will use them to base the red and then switch to a more traditional layer approach afterwards. Due to my nerve damage at the moment, I really struggle with the fine line of edge highlighting so the contrast paints have really helped me get back into painting for the moment. I also enjoy using them on the brown pouch's and bags and the black on bolt guns (I hate painting bolt guns!), they get nice results and things like this do help save time. I would recommend trying them if you haven't had the chance yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mordas Posted August 2, 2019 Author Share Posted August 2, 2019 Hey all, Just a quick update on my 2nd vow, managed to get some edge highlighting done today (despite the heat). Still plan to have them completed this weekend: Majkhel, ShibeKing, Panzer and 1 other 4 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mordas Posted August 26, 2019 Author Share Posted August 26, 2019 so made a few finishing touches to my Repulsor today. Just got to add a transfer or two and it's done: That will be vow 3 complete, don't think there is time for another lol!

Mordas Posted December 28, 2019 Author Share Posted December 28, 2019 Managed to take the new Primaris out for a spin just before Christmas, if you ever play against me you will normally notice my abnormally high number of 1's that I roll. However, luck smiled on me in this overwatch image above, cutting down many Wyches and surviving all their attacks before promptly wiping them off the board all in one swoop.
