We are the Emperor's wrath!
Let the blood of the unclean act as
an offering to the Lion's shade

In an attempt to rationalise my GW collection and make some money I got my Dark Angels out of storage recently and sold off a lot of them. I decided to keep a 1500-2000 point force as they are one of my favourite armies, in spite of the current Codex and the terrible Descent of Angels...

After some thought and a few games I have a WIP list.

This Log will document my attempts to paint up the entirety of the remaining force and will show new models as and when I get them/ change my list.

without further ado, pictures:

Belial


Interrogator Chaplain


Standard Bearer


Scout veteran sergeant


The list is as follows:


HQ
Belial, SB/PS

Interrogator Chaplain

Elites
10 Scouts, 4 shotguns, 5 snipers, power fist, plasma pistol, meltabombs

Troops
5 Terminators, assault cannon, 2 lightning claws
5 Terminators, assault cannon, 1 lightning claw, chainfist
5 Terminators, assault cannon, 2 lightning claws, 2 thunder hammers
apothecary, standard

Heavy Support
10 Devastators, 2 missile launchers, 1 plasma cannon, 1 Lascannon

about 1500 points, needs tinkering with

in games I usually combat squad the scouts to pin two units a turn with the snipers and combat squad the devastators in order to shred more enemy armour.

thoughts?

I really like the Vet scout sergeant. Huge amount of character there.

[Hadriel Caine]

I'm going to recomend that you switch to a white primer for light minis... Gets you so much closer to the final color with fewer coats..

Waits for banner to be done....

[Hadriel Caine]

Yeh, you may be right there Dean... however all my minis are primed now so nevermind. maybe if i do eldar some day... *shudder*

here is the painted Veteran Sergeant Artor Bayne of the 10th Company



Also begun basecoating the Chaplain, Banner bearer and Apothecary.
NB: my camera is Frakked so these pictures are rubbish (phone) imagine the green is pure DA green and ur almost there.

Nice Scout sgt, looks very dark/sinister!

[Hadriel Caine]

glad you like him. Dark and sinister seems fairly appropriate for the Dark Angels IMO

I'm really enjoying the Scout models at the moment. Think I'm going to get a scout biker in order to get the spare parts to spruce up my unit a bit! love the scout head with the osmotic gill. and the one handed shotgun... lovely!
