Hello all i hope you will help me with constructive feedback and praise if i earn it.

I will update this thread regularily with Miniatures that i finish and when i have time post things i already have done before signing on, on Dakka Dakka.

So for now i start with 2 Iron Angels Traitor Marines i just finished.

The Iron Angels are a Blood Angels successor chapter which was closely related to the Mechanicum.
On their search for relicts of times past they discovered an old Space Marine Helmet which wondrous powers.
The Chapter Master immediately fell in love with the sheer beauty and radiation of power this helmet posessed and had to keep it for himself...
without knowing that this helmet once belonged to a champion of Slaanesh and contained a deamon which started to influence the vain and proud chapter master already.

In this very moment the fall of the Iron Angels Chapter began.

But now without further ado:

I hope you like them .

Well the 1st thing I'd tell you to do would be to upload your pics to dakka. They are really big (which is good) but take along time for slower connections to load. Its very easy to use, just ask if you need help.
Im confused tho, are they loyalist or trader marines?

They are traitor marines but i like to do kitbashing with chaos marine and loyal marine miniatures.
Many of the Iron Angels still look like normal marines and only some show mutation already.
They are "about" to fall from the emperor.

And thanks for the advice with the pictures, i will figure it out and upload them on Dakka later.

EDIT: I uploaded them here now. Size is better now.. thanks again .

Ok while i still paint on the Assault Squad i want to show you what i have done with that army before signing up on Dakka:

The Iron Angel himself (better pictures on page 4):




A Scriptor:



Tactical Marines:



Tanks:






Dreadnoughts (painted and WIP):








Assault Marines:

A) Nice Freehand, especally on the LR
B) Good conversion and kitbashing, keep it up!
C) Where did those wings come from?!?! I must have a set!
D) Dont get discouraged with low coments, you are new to dakka still. Once you comment more on other plogs, people will start to get to know you and come comment on your models.

So are these Chaos? Hey dont look very Chaos IMHO

really nice work. i like your dreadnought very cool and your iron angel dude F&A.But my only bit of criticism is you need to knock the emblems of the imperium off of them so there not so confusing

He did say that they are just starting to fall to the side of chaos, as such they still have much imperial iconography on them.

Thanks for the compliments its good to read this.
And the wings are from: http://www.shop.battlefield-berlin.de/index.php/katalog/artikelinfo/11939-1-show-deva_angel.html
The other feathers on the backpack and the ornaments in the inside are made with kneadite.

Yes what whalemusic360 says. I try to make them look "hybrid"... And some are going to get more chaos onto them as the project evolves.
The older miniatures will also most likely get the weathering the newest 2 have (except for the Iron Angel who will never get dirty as a gift of Slaanesh).
On the other hand i cant go overboard with the chaos look as i play them (and always have played them) with Codex Blood Angels.

@Vignor
Thank you what does F&A mean?

I have continued with the Assault Marines Squad i started with in my first post.
Its almost done now, just needs the basing and maybe some little finetuning here and there .

Love the wings and paint scheme at first having trouble telling loyal or traitor but figured it out! Great work!

Mind telling me how you get your models to stay on top of the pots?

Thanks for the compliment .
I actually just placed them on these pots and they stayed there...

But if i paint a single miniature i usually "glue" it to cork with this: http://cgi.ebay.de/UHU-Patafix-80-Klebepads-NEU-/160437779388?pt=Bastelwerkzeuge_klebstoffe
Sorry i couldn't find a US product thats like this.

Cheers

I like these very much - I've gotten hold of some old RT corvus marines and cant decide what chapter to paint them - might have to give Iron angels some thought as i love your colour scheme

Oooh, damn those old skool jets look sweet. I'm damn envious, my guys have crappy new ones :(
Great use of the maxi heads, I used them myself for my Iron Worriors. They look ace here! The Iron Angel is a great centre piece, but the real eye catching bit is the freehand angle raider. Wow, seriously!

Only criticism I'd make is that claw on the Khorne-naught looks a bit too big, I like the top of it, but its a bit Too long imo. I like the... looks like a Dirge Caster? The backwards spotlight on his shoulder, looks very good! And the lascannons, possession perfection

They look pretty awesome. I like your style of painting and you have executed it very well. The Chapterhouse Studios jump-packs looks great on the models.

Is your army supposed to be set during or after the chapters descent into chaos?

Some nice work here Iron Angel, good feel to the whole army

Its supposed to be during the descent but as you can see some are way beyond rescue.
I love the Chapterhouse jp and i have about 10 more who await pinning/magnetizing. I did pin and magnetize the packs on the back so i can swap them for normal backpacks which i will paint next.

Thank you

@all
Keep the feedback coming its really great to know what you poeple think.

Next i will paint the other backpacks and i think the dreadnought. The bases of the assault marines are now finished too and i will post a picture today.

Cheers

Ok i didnt start painting backpacks or the dreadnought.. i had some modelling work to do on the dreadnought first.. oh and because of that i started to make my first member of the Iron Angels Death Company which is still very much WIP.
I thought i go for white and not black. As i believe that is more contrast to my army which is good and on the other hand is, i believe, the colour of death and sadness in china.
So this is also very fitting and gives it for me an exotic touch. Besides i always wanted to paint white .
And i will paint all the metals in NMM because it looks so much better next to white imho.

Ok here it goes:




Cheers

Hey up mate! just noticed you have a blog up! would be rude not to subscribe!!

Im liking the fresh turned chaos look, for some reason these models are screaming john blanche at me... i like them, and it helps im a massive john blanche fan... (in fact hes given me permission to use his art for a tattoo )

I will be keeping an eye out on these imperial/chaos hybrids, im working on an alpha legion/nightlords similar thing, chaos marines with no mutations and not so many spikes!!

Your stuffs great mate! i like it!

Oh i finished the first of my Death Company:






@all
Thanks for watching and/or commenting

Hmmm, i like that brown effect on the white, mind if i steal it for my flesh tearer sang priests? Is it a build up of gryphonne sepia?
Im in the process of weathering my marines up to, what did you use? i used some forgeworld weathering powders mixed with alcohol, but not to impressed... hasnt made it onto my marines yet, only testers and my libby dread (see my WIP in painting/modelling.

Top stuff mate

I use MIG pigments without any additives. I just brush them on the miniatures and then seal it with varnish.

Thanks again

Looks good! I always like seeing DA bits on other chapters, and the old metal DCs are good models as well!

Just noticed the codex was in german, lol.

I think these are really cool. The dreadnaughts are especially cool i think. Keep it up!

Dark Angels are just great miniatures. I also have a full Ravenwing army at around 2000 points. Finishing them will be the next project after the Iron Angels.
Yeah my Codex is german ^^ i actually prefer the english codizes (less errors in them) but its to difficult to talk to other players who use the german codex then...

Your painting seems to be getting better picture by picture. Must admit, i like the more "chaosy" marines tbh.
