Very nice! Excellent, vivid colors. IMO the old-school-style bases and vivid colors make it look very much like an updated, better-looking 2nd-ed style studio army. Very cool mix of the old and the new here.

Some really interesting techniquest described too, like your power weapon approach, and your technique for the banners. Thanks very much for sharing! Would you consider posting a step by step tutorial on doing the banners, in the P&M Tutorials forum?

Sure, the banners were actually really simple to do. I like to experiment some times with new techniques and on the banners haven't seen the same method in any tutorial before so will be happy to share it in the P&M tutorial forum when i have time to sit down for a bit to write it

Oh and as i started first playing around 2nd edition of 40k, the look and feel of the armies then stuck and I enjoy that kind of look in my mins more than any "realistic" approach I also took seven years off from the hobby and just started to paint again in the spring of this year, so am really pleased with my results so far! Thx for the comment!

If you had time to write it down and take step by step pics as you go, that'd be wonderful. Thanks!

The picture part will be a bit of a problem. I don't have any more of the SG kit banners left (which are sculpted textures) so can't do a picture tutorial atm :(

Here's some new additions to my finished BA models. First scouts painted and also the first devastators and some new heavy weapons for the tactical squad. Next on planning to get some razorbacks and more scouts.

I love the way you did the camo cloaks, nice job. Was it difficult to paint the stripes?

It was really simple. I started with black, then drybrushed scorched brown, then a mix of scorched brown, yriel yellow and skull white. After that i painted the stripes with a 70/30 mix of camo green and skull white, then a 50/50 mix of the same colors. The cloaks were maybe the easiest step in painting the scouts As the pattern can be a bit rough you don't need to paint the cloaks so neatly

Makes sense. I'm using your technique on mine. Thanks!

Here are some more devastators with plasma cannons, my new razorbacks with las/plas conversions, and some footslogging assaultmarines (which have converted meltaguns). Also a footslogger chaplain that i added to the army recently. Enjoy!

Sweet dude, everything looks great.

What did you highlight the rhinos with? Doesn't look like the typical orange you normally see.

if you mean the razorbacks, I used the new citadel color fire dragon bright for the edge highlights. The base color to the vehicles is done with army painter dragon red spray.

Nice BA! Lovely red on tanks and marines. May I ask where you got the cup for the Sanguinary Priest?

i made it out of two standard marine shoulderpads and some green stuff

Just got an unpainted Vindicator from a friend and had to paint it. Too bad it's pitch black outside, so no natural light on the photo. Still I'm happy with the tank. This will probably be the last model for my BA army for some time.

Nice work!

makes me really wish I could paint mine that well, mine look really rough in comparison.

Loving the Vindicator though, looks really really good!

Awesome painting, I especially like your Lemartes. Very nice

Great work there and in only four months. Really eye popping.

Really nice work. Would you mind giving a quick rundown on how you pain your minis?

Good work. Great looking paintjob for only 4 months, impressive. I also really like your basing , What color green did you use along the edges?

Very nice painting, makes me want to collect blood angels....... but I think my wife would rip out my geneseed with a rusty knife if I said I was starting a fourth army! Haha

I like the brightness and cleanliness if the reds, nice job!

Some new additions to my BA army!



just finished this bad boy!

And did a little conversion work and made me a home made Mephiston purelly kitbashing and with some green stuff. I'm happy to use him

These guys are really fricken awesome.

Thanks! I would like them to be a bit more awesome rules wise on the table top too, but thanks to 6th edit, BA are not that good as they were in 5th, when i started this army. Still i love to paint and play them

A really quick rundown is this: With a brush. Joking aside, here's how i paint the red power armor. I spray black, drybrush khorne red, drybrush evil sunz scarlet, highlight firedragon bright. That is the basics for the red power armor

I really like your mephiston convert!
