Those are pretty good. Kind of inspires me to do my own DV bikes, except I already shelved my Dark Angels stuff until they get a better codex. Of course, if I need a break from painting all my Khornekin minis, I might just give my DA some paint love at least!

Well, that's the DV Ravenwing attack squad completed at last. Looked back over the fluff about them.....yeah.....they didnt fare too well at all eh?!!!! Anyways.....glad they done, were an absolute pain to start but got pretty enjoyable to paint later on once all that black was sorted lol. Here they are Sgt Arion and Brothers Arias and Gethal....may the Emperor preserve their (crimson) slaughtered souls!

Goes without saying by now, but yeah, epic! The black is highlighted without looking grey, the spot colours are just right and the basing is superb as ever!

Cheers Para. These 3 served for me to try out different ways of doing black credibly and start fiddling with some weathering techniques. They weren't the most fun figs to paint at first but got into them eventually. Pretty happy with the results. Went a bit simpler with the bases this time. Those bike bases are a bigger to try and fit into a dio Lol

Dude, those may be the most amazingly cool Ravenwing bikes I have ever seen (and I've seen plenty since I looked around for inspiration to paint mine way back when I started). Almost brought tears of ecstasy to my face! Just, wow...

Cheers fella They were a bit of a chore to start with but ended up being pretty fun to do. Found the best way of doing the black was by not painting them ' black' if that makes a shred of sense lol!! Only got Librarian Turmiel to go adn that's all of the DV Dark Angels contingent finished!

Thought I'd move convo over here as I was going to discuss your next project.

If you're going for one Chosen, what about arms outstretched and forwards as in a Hulk kind of way with a "human" (or stand-in) cowering in front? That'll fit in with the theme next month then.

If doing more than 1 - cowering human/stand-in at one side of diorama huddled behind rocks overseeing a band of chosen mauling something - ripping body parts off/fists impacting with ground. Sort of wild pack of bears being seen by onlooker who is terrified. The human/stand-in could be on a raised column in a corner representing a cliff-top.

Not sure if that helps

Totally does. I'm gonna do five of them. Was thinking of having them emerging through ruins. Would love to have some terrified victims in front of them frozen in fear as the chosen advance but haven't any figs for the victims sadly.

What about some Toy Story style green soldiers, not sure if the scale right, but if the height works, you could swap out the heads maybe to something more 40K? Unless your (only) FLGS has got anything that would work.

My flgs is not very 'l' - it's about two hours away in Seoul. I've just ordered a nice big box of goodies from them which (hopefully) will be arriving maybe today. The wife'll skin me if I order anymore stuff after all the kit I've got on the way lol
I'll figure something out. A couple of screaming guardsmen would definitely make the scene though

Great work on those Bikes - they've come out very well indeed. I like the use of weathering to get around grey-white edge highlighting. It looks much better.

Thx ver much Az. Haahha - you caught me!! Looking at other pics of the bikes, I really wasnt keen on the hard edge highlights - just didnt look right to me. reckoned some fur grey and metal scrapes would do the job better

Nice ravening bikers! The bases look good too. Do you have a dark angels army or was this just a project for the competition?

Cheers Don't have a DA army per se. Just making my way through the DA strike force from the Dark Vengenace boxed set. Just have the librarian to go and the DA are all done. May get the expansion sets too at some point. I like the DAs so will definitely be adding to them along the line.

Yeah - just saw a few pics of him this morning. Tidy wee fig. He'll def be getting. Clampack price though no doubt. They're my only quibble about GW pricing. I'll pick him up at some point though. Got the AdMech Dominus with my knight.....wow!!! That Dominus is one of the sweetest sculpts, cracking fig. Looking forward to (eventually) getting some paint down on him
