CL your back whoohooo!!!! Good to have you back and as usual classic DA looling good!!

Wow, black deathwing; not something you see everyday. Very nice work so far. Looking forward to more.

well, i dont have a ful 1500pts yet, more like 100. I did however pick up a figure case today and i am going for a game on sunday at my lgs. I think this will get me in the mood to get the first 1500pts finished.... only taken a year to get this far haha ( did have a 7-8month break though :/ )

Ohh figure case what kind did you get? Also we all need a break or get burnt out, like I told you early I took a break also and then the SM video game came out and well you know the rest. Are you going all Deathwing or you doing some basic tactical too?

i just got a basic GW one for now, might get a KR one later on. It will be all deathwing, no tactical for the time being. Although i may paint one up later on for fun

Well i finished the LR up, just added a few transfers and weathering. Only problem is i forgot to seal the tank before weathering so the transfer paper has picked up the powders and ghosted lol! oh well. It will do for now

Well if you do upgrade I believe Battlefoam has a trade in for credit towards a new bag. But they also make foam for the GW bags and cases.
Well back to your models I am liking the landraider what weathering powders you using?

Just the FW ones

Well i had my first game in about 12-13 years yesterday. My list was as follows:

Belial

X3 dreads with power fist and plasma cannon

X2 CC terminator squads

X1 Terminator squad with assualt cannon

X1 LandRaider


I borrowed the extra 2 dreads and the extra CC termie squads from someone in store who was kind enough to help me upto 1500pts. I was playing necrons for kill points and i am happy to say i won! i lost 6 terminators over 4 turns and my LR was immobilised but thats it I did have a run of first turn bad luck though..... Master Uriel teleported in with his CC termie squad first turn and i rolled 3 on this mishap table. This resulted in my opponent sticking them in the far bottom corner of the table!! getting 40 shots a turn from necrons meant he lost his full termie squad before they got back in the fight. Uriel however managed survive and got into cc last turn haha!

Really enjoyed the game though and the necron player was a decent guy

Well i finished 2 of the CC terminators, only 2 more to go and that squad is complete. I also started working on a new Master Of The Deathwing. His name will be Master Ramos, Uriel will go and be a squad sgt. let me know what you think of them. I am also toying with the idea of having a squad of vet marines after the 3rd term squad... not sure though??!



Master Ramos ( not sure if you can see it propperly? )

Looking really good love the weathering on the tanks, will you be applying a similar looking paint job onto the troops legs as well or not?

Hey thanks, im still unsure about weathering the troops. I'll look at it when the main force is done and i go back and add some extra detailing, definatley an option though

Ah ok well good luck with whatever you do

Pose looks awesome but really hard to see anything more than that - such frustration!

This Master Ramos is a very shadowy figure

Great looking termies dude!

Keep up the great work

Cain

I took some better pictures, maybe you can see better now haha

Storming! Much better - love it.

CL those are looking great and that termie that is based black with the pins in his foot I connot wait to see how he turns out. Man keep it coming

Thanks, I have a week off work next week so i *think* i can get my first 1500pts finally complete. I am still undecided on spending the last 250pts though, extra terminator squad or marine squad? what do you guys think??

What's your list at just now?

will be

3 terminator squads
plas cannon dread
land raider
belial

so that will leave me 250pts left to my first 1500pts, all deathwing or some marines for tactical flexibility?

Very nice.

I'd say scouts for flexibility, actually. But deathwing termie wall is nasty in current meta. Of course, as they're under old codex, dw can do cc cyclones, iirc, which is very silly/vicious.

I did think about scouts, ill look into it

Well i was in town today so i popped into my local GW and picked up some reinforcements.... 2 boxes of scouts, 1 normal bolter and h bolter squad and a sniper squad. All i need now is another terminator squad and i will have a full 1500pts ( only took me a year lol! )

so my list as it stands:

Belial

1x CC termi squad
1x shooty termi squad

1x ven dread

1x landraider

1x sniper scout squad
1x shooty scout squad

a rough value of 1250 pts

I'll try and upload some pics of scouts this weekend i hope

Been a while since i updated, i have been really busy. Lately i have been reading again, i have just finished The Purging Of Kadilus. A really good book and if you love Dark Angels, buy it and read it! I finished painting the first scout squad and just have the snipers to do and then my army is nearly fully painted. Should really get a full army shot soon. I have picked up the last 250pts for it..... a Storm raven! couldnt resist, on this note however i have been toying with the idea of using the Blood Angels codex instead of the Dark Angels one. With what i have my army would be legal at 1500pts and the codex gives me waaayyy more options than the Dark Angels one. Looking forward to getting the Storm Raven painted up in the AC/DC Wing black ( sorry bad joke lol ). Anyway.. thoughts comments on using the Storm Raven and going to the Blood Angels codex???

Long time no post, been real busy but got back into painting and gaming properly about 3 months ago and decided it was time to update the plog...

First up is Master Belial:









Librarian Abariel, have to say i am really unhappy with the quaslity of finecast, never had this many issues with fw before... a game for you all, how many faults can you spot in the casting......

Next up is the Storm Raven, went for a basic paint job for now but happy with the end result...










And finally a group shot of everything i hae painted so far.......








As always C&C much appreciated..........

Looking great bud, only niggle is pics - especially of character figs - are very dark so its hard to clearly to see the level of detail there.

Thanks, i know what you mean about the pics. Could really do with knocking up a light box. I am picking up some reinforcements this week, so may invest in the bits to make one.

Looking really good love the Belial model, what do plan on doing with the rest of the army, where are you taking it next?

Hey, thanks. I am really happy with Belial for such a simple conversion I am looking at another terminator squad nextbut i also have a sniper rifle scout squad to paint up and a box of DA vets that i got for the accessories. I think after the terminators though i want 2 Stormtalons to escort the Stormraven. I am playing in a store campaign at the moment and i need the terminators next i think.
