Having said that I can at some level understand their shame. I have tried and failed to paint Dark Angels several times. I decided the release of the new codex would be a good opportunity to try again and finally prevail. My issue has always been the green armor, never able to get a good color. I think I have gotten a good mix now and have a couple pics.

I plan to make the army as much Mark IV armor as possible, I just like the plain, unadorned look. Also, Ravenwing and Deathwing contingents. Lots of Primaris guys will be part of this too. Anyway, a couple pics to begin.

Maybe by the time this is done, the Dark Angels and I will be redeemed. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/747430/9760859.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/747430/9760859.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/747430/9761539.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/747430/9761539.page GMT
I like the green. It might just be those particular models, but they feel like they could use a little more spot color. Although I suspect that it’s because you can’t really see the color on the guns, due to them being built into the fists. They also don’t look to have any pouches/pistols/etc.

Keeping the bases plain?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/747430/9761814.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/747430/9761814.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/747430/9762745.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/747430/9762745.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/747430/9762814.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/747430/9762814.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/747430/9764716.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/747430/9764716.page GMT
youwashock- Thank you sir. Urban feel? Hmmm, a thought is brewing.........

So, more refinement on the Greenwing portion. I dry brushed the models with a couple highlights then went back with Caliban Green on the larger armor areas. So it almost, almost, looks like the extreme highlighting which vexes me so. To add more color, I pan to put ammo pouches and grenades on these guys. Alos will keep them consistent with Primaris, who I think have those items sculpted on. Only one pic.......

OK, having trouble with the pic. Sorry, Ill try to get it fixed.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/747430/9766842.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/747430/9766842.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/747430/9767261.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/747430/9767261.page GMT
So speaking of poor, got the first combat squad done. Pics aren’t the best but you get the idea. I like the gray base but I think it may be too dark. Gonna experiment with a lighter base. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/747430/9771833.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/747430/9771833.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/747430/9771862.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/747430/9771862.page GMT
So I decided to add the pouches and such. Just to see how it looks. And got the bases refined. So some better pics. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/747430/9774204.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/747430/9774204.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/747430/9774211.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/747430/9774211.page GMT
