Dark Angels Tactical Squad WIP
Here's some pics of the Dark Vengeance tactical marines. They are a slight improvement from the Assault on Black Reach box set, but will be pretty poor compared to the rumoured tactical squad re-cut thats supposed to come out next year. I started these guys out with a green spray paint to make the green base coat go faster. Paints listed at the bottom of this post.

DO you thinks its to much to hope for a re-sculpt and not just a re-cut?
ReplyDeleteFrom what I've heard its going to be a re-sculpt with better options
DeleteHeya, love your minis and your tutorials, I have a problem hopefully you can help. I am an experienced painter, but when it comes down to highlighting dark angels I get frustrated. No matter what brand of green I'm using, snot, vallejos, or the new warpstone I always get breakedge in lining. How do you exactly highlight yours? If I don't water it down, the lining is too stark and bright, making it look neon. Lol I have a plethora of dark angel boxes and was hoping of finishing an army but it's looking like it ain't gonna happen. Thanks for your time.
ReplyDeleteHey Randy, you've got a few options. The simple one may be to mix the base colour with the highlight, thin it slightly and try again. Or, you can do a lighter base coat and just give it a dark wash... or you can drybrush. Thinning the paints and doing multiple layers is the best way, but takes time and practice.
DeleteI had the similar problem and have started using the medium to thin out the paint with that and it helps apply a really thin layer of paint on which doesn't dry.
DeleteI've then also created a very watery dark green wash that goes over the top of it all to tone down the highlights. works quite well for me!
