So you are looking to highten your painting skills once again. I cannot blame for you for that. I do agree with Comradepanda though. A painted army is always better than a not painted army.

Well, I went and did it. I figure I can do a better job on these guys so here we are. Thanks for all the comments and compliments.

I was looking at the army and it just wasn't built very well. My goal will be to individualize the marines as best I can. Ill be starting a new thread for them. 9 pages and almost 8600 views is a little to far along to start over, again. Im also holding myself to the good bases standard. Somehow, I will figure a way to get good bases. I think using the brown weathering powder boxed me into what kind of base I could use. So I need to think this through some more.

I really like Dark Angels, always have. Im looking forward to getting them right. Thanks again!

Are you wanting to use resin bases or making your own? Also, message me if you need any bits, I can maybe help!

I haven't decided on the bases. The resin ones are great, trying my hand at scratch building is tempting. As for your bits offer, very kind of you. I may take you upon it. However, I do have 8 sprues of DA stuff I didnt really use.

Well I meant for basing. I have a good bit of BA, GK, IG and Dark Eldar bits if you are interested.

40kFSU a buddy of mine on my friends list Galhorn does resign bases and will craft some at your request. He already has a fantastic line up; i suggest you talk to him for some really special scenic bases.

Sad to see your mini's stripped, but this time around i expect nothing, but the best from you 40kFSU. Anything less and i will be here to tell you what to do. Here is for starters what i would love to see from you. Shaded Lenses on the helmets and everything, Highlights, if weathered; looking more then scrapes, Drilled Barrels, A of course outlandish paint scheme that will tickle the eye with its brilliance, chapter symbols on the shoulder pads along with classification symbols, free hand stripes here and there they add a lot. Hopefully that list is large enough for you to really expand your painting hand. I hope i am adding pressure; also if you didn't know september first is the box release of 6th edition and it is going to be dark angels and Chaos in it i got the limited edition.

Thanks guys for the notes on the bases. And as far as the next time I put these guys together, I am going all out like panda suggested. And Dark Vengeance will be mine on Sept. 1st, those models look fantastic! I may put off the Angels a while and focus on the CSM. Anyway we will see how it goes.

It is the perfect starter for you!

Looking forward to seeing what you get done with dark vengeance! Subscribed!

Well kind of sad to see you dash the whole army into the SimpleGreen. But, better things to come right?

My thing, if you really want to step it up:
1. Make mold lines your arch-nemesis (i saw a bit of mold line on the back pack of one of your new chaos guys)
2. Drill those weapon barrells!!! That is one of the biggest little details that sets models apart.

I look forward to your DA army redux. Good luck!
