I've decided to start a BA jump army. The overall theme consists of death company who have defected and have been tainted by khorne. I'm kit bashing the power armor models and using scourge feathered wings for most of the models to get the fallen angel effect. Here are some of the first conceptual pictures- let me know what you think!

Those are Crazy Awesome!!! might have to steal that idea and make me a squad. What are those wings from?

The wings are Scourge wings.

Anyway to my critique, they're decent models, the wings need a highlight for more depth. The model Itself is solid but I feel it doesn't have that stand out affect.

The second model is great, the freehand adds that something special. It's a good concept but you need to De-Dark eldar the wings a bit. Getting rid of the spike for starters. Then just smooth the remains with GS.

I just looked again the second model has a very flat red, the wings really need a highlight. The top models grey highlight is to thick, beaten it up with Chaos Black.

I've always thought the Scourge wings are nice to have, but I don't know what to do to them.

Great work!

Thanks for the comments guys

@ InquisitorVaron - thanks for the pointers- with the wings do you recommend painting each feather blood red in the middle area to give it some pop? dry brushing a lighter red didn't work out too well on these wings b/c the feathers are pretty flat

Nice. Very.

Love how the model and the wings mix so well. Keep up the good work

I think that it is a very powerful effect you have got going there, work a bit on the paint as sugested and i'm sure it will look awesome.
My input would be to brighten it up a bit as to really make them pop!

very cool job so far.

My new addition...

Those are some awesome BA! Great army theme and great looking models.

Have you thought of making a P&M Blog here on Dakka?
If you did I would defiantly subscribe to that. I'm sure lots of other people would too!

Nice wings there, but one question I have is if they are BA then why is the mark of khorne on one of the heads?!

That was explained above, read before posting silly!

Ahhhhh! Got you!!! Duh!

Really nice! The scourge wings are just amazing, and these kitbashes are really sweet.

However, unpainted model images do not belong in Showcase. This has the makings of an excellent P&M blog, however. Moving to P&M Blogs. If you don't intend it to be an ongoing blog, just ask a moderator and we'll move it over to P&M General.

Work has resumed... The army is now functional with minimal proxying (but still waiting for some more scourge wings to come in). Here are some of the things I've been working on.



My Blood Angels dualie double sided chainsword model, inspired by his berzerker counterpart (inspired by Illidan from WoW).




A couple snap shots of my squad 2's theme. Wanted to keep the wings darker on these, not sure if it really came up well in the photos but the armor/wings are highlighted in purple. I think I like the first scheme a bit more, but I like this for some variety for squad 2. I'm thinking squad 3 will be red armor with beige wings, gold trim. Squad 4 I'll try to clean up my gold armor / red wings scheme. I want to make each squad easily discernable/ use different painting techniques for each one - yet still have a general cohesive army look.

Let me know what you think!

Almost done with my Mephiston, I just gotta decide how I'm gonna highlight his armor/ base him/ wash his wings a bit more.

Mephiston looks really cool, the armour is really nicely done

ML Devs assembled

Using DA bits for a BA successor Khorne army?

I like it!

Squad 1 painted and based

Hmmm. . . Blood Angels defiled by Chaos. . . My heart just skipped a beat!

But seeing how cool you're making the army more than makes up for it!

Subbed!

That squad looks awesome! Great work man.

This is very cool. I love the use of wings for Jump packs.

One of 2 of my sanguinary priests:


Purple squad finished for the most part. I'm considering going back and hitting each feather with a couple tones of purple to bring it out/doing some edging of a brighter red on the armor if I have time before the Colonial.





The first model in my Squad 3. I hit each feather with 2 tones of brown for this squad. Just have to paint the rest of them now :-P



The beginning of my devs. Just have the cloaks done.
