Started this thread to track progress on my newest army, The Angels of Redemption.
Due to camera difficulties I do not progress shots of my initial "Test" squad. A five man combat squad, some touch ups needed here and there, clean up on the bolters is a must i know.
I went with blue lenses, as I've painted about 150 pairs of red lenses over the last two/three years for my Ultramarines... and i'm quite sick of it. The whole figure is primed black. I did a layer of Graveyard Earth, then Commando Khaki, Bleached Bone, and a 50/50 mix Bleached Bone & Skull white, for the "white side". The green is a bit easier. Dark Angels green, Snot Green, Green Wash. The Lenses are enchanted blue, ice blue, and a dot of Skull white, followed by a dab of Ardcoat.
There is one figure with a free hand emblem.... which i find only so-so... i am working on a better way.

So with out further Ado.... here they are, The Angels of Redemption!

Nice colourscheme, is that a Dark Angels successor chapter?

I'd be tempted to do a little additional highlighting of the shoulder trim and perhaps some colouring or a different metal for the bolter detailing.

Yes, it is a DA successor chapter. Additional highlights, and extra bolter detail will ensue lol. I was just a little excited to get them up, as I haven't attempted this kind of color scheme before.
