Lovely stuff - He is actually quite a scary looking winged dude. I wouldn't want to run into him on a dark night

Just some models in work for my Dark Angels army. Int. Chaplain and Death Wing Sgt.

*rips hair out*

Fantastic work as always, Les! It's sometimes quite strange to look at them with the way that they've been blended; there's no hard-lined power armour and such... and let me tell you that I think it's so much better this way! It's hard to grasp at first, but in the end it's a much more realistic looking model. IMO, of course. Keep up the good work - For The Lion!

Amazing stuff, as always.

When you do Zenithal highlighting, what pressure range do you usually go for? I'm planning on doing my first attempt at it later this week.

WOW you've done it again Les, keep it up!

Awesome Chaplin LB!

Can I pick your brain on how you went about painting those Orks? I can't seem to get their skin just right.



Also, love all of your stuff, nothing here has disappointed

I'm pretty sure you're sposed to polish those 'real' metallic paints. Though they do end up looking like alloy wheels if you do. Nice models, i like the orks especially.

This thread makes me want to cry.

Some people have all the talent... >_<

No its not just a talent, its a practice

Wel done on Orks Les, do you planing to shoot video?

Little Update!

Scotts BLOOD KNIGHTS (hybrid Grey Knights attached to Blood Angels) : About 50% done just need to do ALL the blending as everything is blocked out at the moment.







My ANGELS of ABSOLUTION : Decided I wanted to go back a bit to when I was doing my Black Templars. I like the idea of a heavily weathered army that looks like they work for a living. So I decided to hit all sides, front and back of one of my Rhinos and this was the result. The top still needs to get some 'rash' on it but the sides make it look like it took a tumble down a rocky hillside lol. Need to add streaks and rain damage but she looks like what I'm planning to do to the whole army

Love it!

YES. I cannot wait to see that army.

Whats happened to the feet of the grey Knights? they look all weird and clammy/gloopy...Great Weathering on the Rhino

@ Imperial Monkey- i noticed that on the GK's feet as well... i think that is either a) some dust from the ballast material Lb used on the base, or b) early stages of weathering... personally i think it is option "a".

Lb- those Blood Knights are a little bit bling for me... chrome... to shiny even for GK imho. maybe it won't be so overwhelming once you blend and paint up the skulls, purity seals and extras... we'll see

weathering on the rhino! out of this world... can't wait to see more!

The blood knights are really interesting, looking forward to seeing some finished close up shots on how the uber shiny metal looks

Which metallic paint did you use there? I'm liking the effect, can't wait to see the finished product.

The New Dark Angels F.A.Q. basically says my Chapter Master can have the following:

1. Lightning Claws
2. Combi-weapon
3. Melta Bombs
4. Jump Pack

ALL AT THE SAME TIME!

So I decided to make a model just because we can Custom Jump Packs are on the way (being built by youtuber Kanvass1) but you get the idea.
Model has had about an hour of work put into it. And decided to magnetize the right arm weapon to switch out flamer, plasma, melta. The 'Marneus' style weapons will 'Count As' Combi-weapon.

Capt. Beat Down , Chapter Master - Angels of Absolution

Oh my gawd :O That is amazing. It's kind of like a fish mixed with a Spartan, but in an awesome super cool way. Keep it up.

Sigged, that's just too funny.

Great mini by the by!

thats a pretty awsome conversion ^_^

if you dont mind ill post mine


that weapon layout has actually been around for a while in the FaQ's. i did mine when i stared to play Dark Angels about a year ago.
i like the cog mohawk that you made it looks pretty epic. Can't wait to see the rest of him painted =D

That looks absolutely amazing. Just try to get a better picture

Can't wait to see him once he has some more paint on him Les. Looks great atm except the right power fist kind of blends in with the chest etc.

You're really getting some crazy results out of those oil paints. Do you use the same method for blending on this guy as you do on your oil NMM/blend tutorial?

Abaddon done in red is very interesting, I like it!

I ereally like how your Chapter Master looks like. It isn't finished, butI love the colors used. I especially like his cape.

Hey Les, I saw your youtube vid on the death guard mini, but cant find anything in it in your thread. In any event, I was wondering what you would do to lighten the model up. Instead of being so dark and grungy, how would you go about making it more of an off white armor thats been worn down by grime and sludge.

I love the vid though, and the mini turned out fantastic

Hey Les, every time I try to go to awesomepaintjob.com it brings me to the store and a message that says 'coming soon!' am I doing something wrong?

Awesome job, as always

Now THAT is a beauty Les.
