A quick peek at some newer terminators

looks great keep the pictures coming

The banner has come out very nice. I was doubting whether or not it would look too clumsy, but in the hands of that termie, and painted, it looks very nice!

The dreads look nice, but you´re right, they need more detailing. The white is looking real good!

Nice job man, own nearly an entire company myself, by the way. Dark Angels won't be getting any of the new space marine goodness. They won't be releasing a FAQ for it.

Your usage of white is flawless, especially with the biker in white power armor, truly an inspiration.

@ Ratbarf..... I have 5000 pts of DA's, yet none in power armor on foot. 15 landspeeders short of having entire Ravenwing. 51 DW Terminators, 3 Dreads, 3-5 Land Raiders, and 3 drop pods.

Pictures of all coming as I get completed.

@Faux Pas......Sadly I can't lay claim to bikes or Terminators. I did model everything and fix up the bases after they were returned. My buddy did the painting.

I did the Dreads, first models I painted in some 5+ years, I plan on adding Dark Angels icons and maybe some more purity seals. I have to magnetize the arm sockets to field other weapon lay outs. AoBR Dread arms pegs are smaller than standard kit.

I caught the fever to paint. Very enjoyable, but that may pass with the amount of stuff I have.

Pictures are better with natural light so I will wait til morning to post.

Picture retake with natural light.

Still have some work to get these guys finished. Damn that sand on base rims. Adding little standards to 6 of the Terminators. Have 7 more CML's coming.

Ravenwing needs alot of help. I have to redo bases on all speeders and both versions of Sammael Broke the plastic stems

Updated for your pleasure.

Everything from squad 3 on has magnetized arms. I can switch out weapons and play as needed from game to game. Options = win

Standard says "Makre Mortis" from some codex somewhere. I don't know.....

Beautiful Deathwing army. So Is Belial magnetic too or no?

your guys really do look great! what model did you sue for the standard?

Belial is magnetized

standard is from Empire General

You may make me want to finish painting the 2500-ish of Dark Angels I still have to paint(Plenty of Termies including Belial, Helios, another command squad, rhinos, some Ravenwing, some Dreads) to go with the 7500-ish I already have done. Seeing all that bone makes me fear painting bone myself a little less.

My guy won't tell me the recipe.

I can assume prime white, some sort of yellowish wash, bleach bone drybrush.

3500+ pts of DW
2000+ pts of RW

I have 3 Land Raiders, 2 drop pods and 3 Dreads in DW colors. Don't know how much more I want to build.

Interesting note.....No power armored DA's on foot. All RW and DW or vehicle.

deathwing for the win!

People who don't share painting tricks are evil capitalists.

Admittedly the yellow wash remains are what I least like about them... other than that, nice hunk of bone.

My camera brings out that yellowish hue.

I will take ravenwing pictures outside when I get their bases repainted.

Would be faster, but between work, ebay, and painting very slow process.

Big picture update coming Sat. night.

Redid all the Ravenwing bases. Need to add grass and some minor touch-ups

Deathwing bases got repainted. 3 squads of 5 have their arms glued solid. Going to bust them off and magnetize. All my terminators will then have magnetized arms.

Drop pod needs to be drybrushed and assembled. A 2nd one needs to be painted.

Land Raider #1 needs paint. #2 and #3 are under consideration to be built.

Stay tuned.....

After a 3 month hiatus I dig this back up.....

Forgive the thread Necromancy.

The Ravenwing needed some fire support in the form of 3 vindicators.

I re-did bases, added Ravenwing squads 3 and 4, and added 3 vindicators. I have minor work like drill some weapons holes, add grass to bases, possibly get 3 DW sgts painted up as I'm short, and 3 Land Raiders to finish and I'll call it a day on this army til new codex.

Next projects.....

1. Eldar Jetbike seer council mess (have all the figs/bits)

2. Ork Nobz biker army (need 5 bikes)

3. Space Marine Battle company with all the Special characters and options for vehicles. I shutter at the thought.

Great looking army!

STOP IT, ur giving me ideas on how to redo mi DA, dont like mi current army, and im loving the idea of just DW and RW!!!!
but it would cost me a hell of alot of money,
do you know how much urs has cost you so far???

Those termies look great. I really like the banner. I do have a question. Is the cloak for Belial off the Chaos termie lord or from somewhere else? My Belial looks sorta plain and something like that would spiff him up a bit.

I can't wait for more updates and look forward to your blog on the jet bike seer council (that's if you are going to do one)

thanks,
rick

they look really nice

Great work! I really like your use of the Empire standard, it looks very good. Keep the pictures coming!

@ lvyoda Cloak is off Chaos termie Lord. I used small DA bits to add something to armor. Also, used thes bits on landspeeders, dreads and vindicators.

@ nidsmaster

This is a small guess of my expenses....

x6 Ravenwing battleforcees $90 each

x9 boxes of Terminators $50 each

x3 Vindicators $45 each

x2 AoBR Dreadnoughts $15 each

x3 Land Raiders $50 each

Bits for Terminators and Bikes at least $150

Forgeworld Terminator shoulder pads $176

Commissioned paint job by my friend $790

Enjoyment by me playing PRICELESS

Pictures never do justice. Army is really sharp and has been voted "best painted" in 2 of my last 4 tourneys.

YOU... ARE... GOD!

(the god of painting)

Did you convert the Sammael on the Landspeader?

I have 2 boxes of the Dark Angels veteran sprues, and I was wondering: did you use any of those? You must have, but I'm not entirely sure.

This looks really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really sweet. I really appreciate this a lot more than I would have, seeing as how I am a Dark Angels player.

How did you paint the Termies? If you already posted that, sorry, but I can't find it.

the stuff for sammael mounted in a landspeeder is in the ravenwing bike box, the sword (cant remember the name), the book on the front, the twin linked heavy bolter and twin linked assault cannon and other general stuff to decorate it with

As much as I want to claim the painting as mine, I can't my friend painted everything except the dreads.

Sammael was made from bits in DA battleforce box. Pretty much right off instructions how to make him included.

My guess on termie scheme. primed white, watered down bubonic brown wash, bleached bone drydrush. He then added detail and touch ups.

I have always played and painted Ultramarines. When I got back into 40k last year I discussed DA at length with my friend, (DAaddict on dakka). We thought the combo of DW/RW would be a great change up to the normal rhino rush tactics from 3rd, that we both used to great boredom. So I started the DA and recently my DA friend is thinking of doing Ultras, lol.

Interesting note....This is roughly 4700 pts of Dark Angels. There isn't any DA green power armor. Only green is the vindicators.

I have a disgusting amount of space marines to make my Ultramarine battleforce. I have gone back and forth on which chapter to make it, Dark Angels or Ultramarines.
