Good to see some progress! One thing to note is to try and go lighter on your primer coat. Looks like you're obscuring a lot of the details.

Yeah I need to find a better primer... or just try to work the can better more likely.

Here are some WIP of a Ravenwing Command Squad I built.

Next up: Company Veterans

Need a bit more detail picked out on the shoulder pads, but otherwise look good. Almost a cell shaded look (which you've kinda always had).

Thanks, man. Hopefully I'll do a little better with the Vets shoulder pads... doing the 'black' of the Ravenwing was kind of difficult... the white on the Apothecary was kind of hard too. I think I should have done a wash on the Apothecary and then go over again with white. The other 2 guys could have used a wash too... plus the primer on these guys was kind of thick like some of the previous stuff.

Applied Caliban Green for the start of the armour:

 Washed with Biel-Tan Green:

Next I mixed some Warpstone Glow with Caliban Green for the next layer.

It's kind of hard to tell in this comparison pic:

Here is one with the Warpstone Glow/Caliban Green mix layer:

Here is one without the layer:

Next I mixed more warpstone glow into the mix to get a brighter green:

Here's a close up shots of the above:

Next I worked on the robes... I went simpler than I had planned.

First I applied Zandri Dust for the first layer:

Next I applied a wash of Seraphim Sepia to the robes.  It provided an excellent shade effect so I stopped there.

These pics don't do them justice... the flash or something makes it look blotchier than it actually was:

After this I got a good rhythm going and forgot to take progress pics.

Here's the finished paint job (please excuse the crappy pics):

After the robes I applied some Uniform Grey for the first layer of the 'metal' parts (some areas of the weapons and some areas of the back packs).

I then applied a layer Ash Grey as a kind of highlight to the Uniform Grey.  At the same time I applied Ash Grey to emblem and skull areas as a base.

While letting the layer on the emblem and skull areas dry, I applied Wazdakka red to other parts of the weapons.

Once that was done (and that's all that I did for the red parts), I applied a layer of white to the emblems and skulls.

Two of the vets have helmetless heads with cybernetic eyes... for those I applied Uniform grey for the base of the cyber-eyes, then a layer of Ash Grey, then a dot of Wazdakka Red for the center of the eyes.  For the skin I used tanned flesh and for the teeth, white.

I tried my hand at the eyes of the helmeted heads... just quick dots of Wazdakka Red... most didn't come out to clean but from a distance you can barely tell anyway.

I then worked on the exhausts on the backpacks by applying deep blue then a lighter blue.  As a finishing touch for the exhausts I applied some white along the vents.

I'm not sure what's next... maybe I'll work on the Tactical squads... I have four five-man teams to paint.  Each with a sergeant with bolt pistol and chainsword, a marine with a plasmagun, and three boltgun marines.  I'll most likely use the same method as I did the Vets... or maybe I'll work on the Assault Marines since I won't have to worry about painting robes/cloaks/cloth parts.

Here is 11 Days (sort of) worth of Dark Angels work.

Thanks! Will do!... in fact here's what's next on the work table:

35 Points of METAL!!!!! \m/ 0.0 \m/

Got started on my Legion of Everblight yesterday. I got most everything built yesterday with the exception of the Grotesques. I totally forgot about them. So while I started priming everything else today, I started construction on the Grotesques. Tomorrow I hope to finish up building the Grotesques (I'm waiting for some greenstuff to harden).

Spawning Vessel









Swordsmen





Spell Martyrs and eThagrosh





Nephilim Soldier



Nephilim Protector




Seraph

You're right I should... totally forgot about something like that...

I'm still not sure on the scheme. I was mostly going to go with 'studio colors' since I did buy their P3 paint color set... but then I also have an idea for red flesh with black armor/plates so they kind of look like 'red devils' or something.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
Some Monday morning work.

Construction work on a unit of 10 Legion of Everblight Grotesques.

Sorry the pictures are all jumbled...

The last one is definitely the last one I took... I think...

P&m machine you are. Madame us normal folks look lame.

I have to keep my hands busy so they aren't used on the keyboard and mouse of my computer to go to the Off Topic threads of Dakka Dakka.

Ew, yeah, dont got there.

Close to painting the Legion of Everblight

Painted the Legion of Everblight today. I'm a little more than halfway done. I'm kind of pleased with how they're turning out so far. Nuln Oil makes everything look better haha.

I also started work on some Mortans for the game Godslayer. This is from the starter box. The bases are Secret Weapons Miniatures bases.

Lovely mate, really sinister.

Crushing another army build, well done.

Painted up the Mortan Starter.

Some WIP shots of a Chaplain in Terminator Armour that I'm going to use with my Black Templars.

More WIP of my Termie Chaplain

Finished up the Terminator Chaplain for my Black Templars

One of my favorite models. Any thoughts on adding some Templar icon somewhere?

I was about to add a white cross to the shoulder pad but I decided to keep it as is in case I wanted to run him with another MEQ army.

Here's some WIP of my Black Templars stuff

Crusaders and some Vanguard Veterans






A Land Speeder Storm






More Crusaders using Assault on Black Reach stuff





Next up to get some paint are some Terminators




Emperor's Champion in the making
