Full Blood Angels 2nd Company by ilikebmxbikes

I am always impressed sir. I think I will have to pick up a brush again.

[Beppo1234]

I have mostly been working on some terrain and my stormraven. I am adapting to the new paints and after a few tries finally found the best match for my red armour.

i got this guy last week off ebay. i am grateful i got a really good cast. very little clean up. I hadnt seen any photos of the figure on line other than the GW released ones so I thought i would show it before i begin my work.

I know you have to assemble this model as intended, as it really is a classic. But damn, seeing just the body, it would look awesome with a second powerfist, delivering the left handed upper cut and winding up with the right!

here is a preview of the storm raven. this thing is huge and took forever.

You reminded me of your army when you posted on my thread. I have to say that when I once painted some Blood Angels miniatures I took inspiration from your beautiful models. Tremendous good work !

[Breazer]

nice work on the stormraven...they are a pain to paint i know..but in the end its worth it i'd say..
also on reading back through your thread i found out you are also cameraman/ video editor...and id like to say cheers on that...for having chosen a fine field to work in...haha

yes man. its been a great industry to work it. it always changes and i have gotten to travel a ton. i used to work 50% from home, which was why i could afford so much time to update this log, but for the past nine months i have been onsite doing post work. my painting time has seriously shrunk from ~3 hours a day to a mere 1 hour.... maybe 2...

What type of stuff do you mostly shoot? Your Black Templar log was part of the motivation to get some new terrain done for some photos.

Truely inspirational thread and I may be borrowing your red recipe for when I do my Heresy Era Blood Angels (collecting the FW kits atm).

I dont know if you know em but im currently working for the Dutch Makita (they are a international powertool company)...i am only done with my education for a good month now...and im very happy with this client...but i take things as they come for now....most assignments earn me enough money..and as i still live at home i can get by with ease...
besides its great portfolio work.. and thanks for the compliment...i love your log too...i hope you can still find some time to paint in the weekends or so...

Ooh, the Stormraven's turning out great! As usual.

[ilikebmxbikes]

I know their tools. thats a really good client. their name on your resume will lend you a lot of credibility. I did work for Puma early on in my career and it really opened up doors.

[ilikebmxbikes]

I played a few games against 7150 today. Had a really good time. I was motivated before the game and am motivated more since. I have been meaning to take some photos of our games in action but have forgotten my camera. I will make sure to bring it to the next one. My Realm of Battle is painted and the terrain is starting to shape up.


I finally started Captain Aphael. He just needs a little clean up and some basing.





DC Dread WIP - This guy was a ton of fun against orks.

[ilikebmxbikes]

Storm Raven - I need to get my second raven painted. I want to try using two ravens instead of a single one and a landraider.

[ilikebmxbikes]

I got this guy built




Jungles - I have about six times as many trees waiting to be painted and based

[VERITAS/AEQUITAS]

While your BAs are amazing as always I really like those jungle terrain pieces you got there. More pics ? Are these Pegasus' palm trees?

[Breazer]

Woah...that captain is really cool...i had no idea you could do that to the model....very nice job...the dread is coming along nicely too.. I like the damage you painted on there...
and i know its fun to fight orks with those big guys...in general orks are fun....specially when you get to kill them by masses..

i love the jungle stuff...you dont see that so often...really nice....and im curious to see how the games day mini will come out...

And about work related stuff still...puma is also a big client indeed...thats very impressive...
well if you were ever in need of a hand on the other side of the ocean im always up for it....

[Astraeos]

You've been busy! Your jungle looks like it'll be fun to play games with.

[S_A_T_S]

The jungle terrain looks amazing, makes me really want to play on your board.

Great to see your 'raven up as I'm just starting to put mine together. Biggest kit I think I've ever made, and first time I've worked with resin as well (other than a FW Dread arm, but that's very basic). Looking at yours for some ideas on how it goes together ;-). Did you magnetize any of yours? I was planning to put some on the wings for storage, and probably on the doors and nose so I can swap the weapons.

[Nostro]

thats a huge compliment.

You mean making to my subscription folder?

I played a few games against 7150 today.

Woah !

Other thing I forgot to mention, you'll be responsible for me buying Masters of the Chapter when I finally pick up a brush again. The poor paintjob had always had me consider they were ugly minis, but you just proved otherwise.

[7150]

Looking good! Wish we had those trees yesterday. Nice timing on the new captain, Dante may need to rest a few games.

[Petay1985]

lovely work fella. as always the fruits of your labours are splendid.
