Yellow I hear is very difficult to paint, but I like the transition from orange/brown at the bottom of the plates to the brighter yellow at the top Cheers dude! The bases are from schibor war games via ebay! Dirt cheap but great quality!

But Nick is very very good with his, so the effect always seems to look great. Yeah all the plates are airbrushed with orange and two shades of yellow. All the edges have been highlighted by hand. Tried edging with an airbrush but never seemed to get it right! N yeah I agree with the inquisitors sword. Kinda rushed it if I'm honest n didn't dilute the paint enough. Ahh well :p As for the eyes.....,.,. I simply can't do them! Every time I've tried they just look crazy so I've decided to give up! But yeah, one thing I wish I could do! RE: Nicks hobby log 2013 - Nick1988 - 26-01-2015 Not a lot of action on my hobby log for a while but I have recently started to reboot my blood angels following the new AWESOME codex. I have decided on the following list for the next few tournaments which I have built and under coated. Dante and the sanguinary priest are finished along with 4 tactical marines but the rest is just three colours.... Sanguinary Priest: The Veritas Vitae; chainsword; bolt pistol; Space Marine bikes 96 Librarian: Psyker (Mastery Level 2); bolt pistol; force weapon; Space Marine bike 110 5 Tactical Marines 70 5 Tactical Marines 70 Command Squad: 3× meltagun; 3× chainsword; jump packs; + 1 Company Champion; + 1 Sanguinary Novitiate 155 Command Squad: 3× meltagun; 3× chainsword; jump packs; + 1 Company Champion; + 1 Sanguinary Novitiate 155 Drop Pod 35 Commander Dante 220 Chapter Master: Space Marine bike; The Shield Eternal; auspex; artificer armour; power fist 250 5 Space Marine Bikers: 2× grav-gun 135 3 Scout Bikers: Space Marine bikes; Scout Biker Sergeant (locator beacon) 64 3 Devastator Centurions: 3× grav-cannon and grav-amp; 3× missile launcher; Centurion Sergeant (omniscope) 290 1,650 points RE: Nicks hobby log 2013 - manrogue - 26-01-2015 How are your Command squads getting on? Curious to see how performing for you. Worth the extra points over Assault marines in your opinion? Preferring the look of assault squads (not used my BA so purely codex based opinion at the minute lol) purely as 2x melta and combi melta is cheaper and i expect them to die to return fire after they have dropped and shot. Plus i have the models already. Loving that your using the drop pod cent trick lol RE: Nicks hobby log 2013 - Nick1988 - 26-01-2015 The command squads were golden at cally. The fnp and combat shield make them more survivable and the extra attack always help too! But your right that assault squads are cheaper. Also the fnp is transferred to any character that joins which is very useful! RE: Nicks hobby log 2013 - Nick1988 - 26-01-2015 Also the higher leadership is Gilbert useful for a combat unit! RE: Nicks hobby log 2013 - manrogue - 13-02-2015 *cough*just seen some nicely converted and painted sang guard into BA command squad, any chance of a well lit pic?*cough* lol Warning - potentially stealing the sang guard as command squad idea RE: Nicks hobby log 2013 - Nick1988 - 14-02-2015 Haha I'll put some pics up when the whole squads done mate just thing the sanguinary guard detail is so much better than death company of tac marines. Pretty pleased with how they came out although I'd strongly advise against using gws Mephiston red spray! It's dries sooooooooo thick! RE: Nicks hobby log 2013 - manrogue - 15-02-2015 Airbrushed my first lot of red marines, white primer and then bright red, come out a lot brighter than anticipated lol. Need to give them a dark wash! Yeah agree on sanguinary guard, really enjoyed building and painting mine. Never even thought to kit bash them into command squad! RE: Nicks hobby log 2013 - Nick1988 - 15-02-2015 I found mine came out really bright too! Try blood letter red glaze you'll be pleasantly surprised! |
