I have come to the point where I have decided to finish the models I have before purchasing anything new. I have always loved the ASM, dreads and terminators and this is the main reason for choosing blood angels army.

Here I present to you my test model. This is a model I have had for a while, apparently before I knew how to prepare them for painting - there are some pesky mould lines there but I did not wanted to repaint the model jsut because of the mould lines. The rest of my BA are already well prepared all the lines are gone promise.

This is my first attempt on weathering the small models. (on my other Plog I paint Eldar so not much weathering there) tell me what you think, all C&C are welcome

Hi Lethiathan, thnx for the comment. I agree on the yellow, so I had gone back decapitated my assault marine and made him a new head. No battle damage on the head for now and to be honest I am liking it a bit more. Tell me what you think?

As you can see I have decided to magnetize the Jump packs.

I will be weathering carefully the helmet, but I guess I got my yellows right this time Yup Raid of Valkyries always makes me think about the charging helicopters in Vietnam
After I am done with the scorpions from the other blog I would want to finish the 5 man ASM squad. I have received the airbrush now I need to plug it to the compressor and I should be ready to go. See you in a week time (holidays here I come):biggrin:

 

[Siskin]

Hello,

sooo I have finished my BA assault JP squad:

Here is the srg, in order for him to stand out form the squad I have chosen to paint his JP yellow:

All of JP for the squad are magnetized, here is a rear view:

And some individual photos of squad members:

comments, critique and impressions are more then welcome.

I have a tac squad ready to go (stripped form the old paint and udercoated) this is a BA project coming up next.

Hi Heretics,

I have done some progress on my BA - mainly due to the facet that I finally started playing the game. It motivates me to have my army painted cause they look so much better on the table.
I have done a furioso, 2 drop pods, a rhino/razorback, 2 tac squads, 5 man death company, 5 man sanguinary guard, a chappy, custom made sanguinary priest and custom made cpt. wit relic blade/valours edge. HQ choices have exchangable back packs.

I have aquired a airbrush and the first attempt is the chappy (a bit to grey but i should be able to fix him up) - also i just saw that one shoulder pad is not done - derp.

C&C most welcome tell me what you think.

I ahve previewed the post and all the pictures are sideways - idk how to fix that, I am probably beeing really stupid her but I just put my 2 year old to bed and I have no strengh to fight this right now - if anyone can give me a nice fix for that I will repost them correctly. Same goes for the next post as not all the photos fit here.

Thank you guys!
I have some ASM almost ready I need to add some weathering cause they look too clean compared to the first 5 man squad - will be posting something probably on sunday. Keep the comments coming!

Cheers - Siskin

I have started working on my terminator squad from Assault on the black Reach. To be honest I am not a fan of those models but i thought it was a good idea for testing how to paint red.

I have also tried to be a little more creative withe the basing - going for "Hi I just teleported", but as the inspiration taking the sequence from Terminator the movie (where they teleport in the bubble), yea and he is not naked! tell me what do you think

Hi All,

Thank you for the comment, I have added the wings cause the seemed a little too "plain" for me.
For some time I have been struggling with painting metallic with GW paints - see my Sanguinary guard, I mean I am quite happy with how they come out but the amount of effort compared to effect meh.

I have bought Vallejo Liquid gold and so far I am loving this paint - it works differently then acrylic paints (it is not translucent at any point) but cause of that it works perfectly on small details. When you do not want to have multiple layers either because you will clog up all the details or the detail is so fragile and small that it does not look good ie. Astorath armor.

Tell me what you think:

Will be stealing the look of your Pods when I paint mine. Great work here dude.

Thanks and please do I will consider this an exchange as I am using more or less your BA list

 

[Siskin]

@ntaw I like the way the list is very aggressive and 'in your face' fast, I have won all but one game with it. I am playing very casual and laid back games with friends, also they play Nids and Chaos 'nurgle' list so it is not super competitive. I like playing BA it is a nice change from eldar 'hiding and pissing ppl out'

Just added Astorath cause I LOVE my DC - the best thing about that list for me is DC and Sang Guard run with Astorath and Sang priest (for guard)
I am thinking about expanding to 2000 pts and adding a nemesis strike force with Dreadknight and Termies -just to be a douche

I read a lot of your posts about BA and they are really helpful thank you!

@Nordicus

Great work all around - You've got a very nice style and I dig the clear edges you're bringing to your models. The airbrushed blues for the power weapons and jumppacks are a very nice touch!

Thank you! I am just starting with an air brush but it saves a butt ton of time and lets you do some cool effects.

As for the headlights I am 100% with you, I was talking with my brother about this a week ago and when finishing astorath axe I did finish up the bulbs with pure white - and as you said it makes a difference. Thank you for the tip!

Hi I am playing in a small group of friends, and we tend to keep our lists in balance - i.e. I do not get to play my elder :/
That said the two armies I face are tyranides and chaos. The nid player just got some new shiny toys for his birthday and my army struggles with 6-8 MC's so as I always liked greyknights I have decided to get myself an allied force. Without further ado I present to you my terminator librarian

C&C most welcom

Thanks Kharn - I do agree that the glow looks off, could not name it myself but rust yeah. Could not work out how to fix it yet, but I will get back to him once I have an idea.

For now I have decided to reprint one of my oldest vehicles - the vindicator.for reference you can take a look at group photos in previous posts I think. Without further ado:
