I may as well start a log to document my 3rd company. The plan is to build a complete 3rd company including 6 tactical squads, 2 devestator and assault squads and rhinos for everything. So without further ado, here is my test mini from a few months back. I haven't painted much since because I have been busy assembling and making custom components but I will be picking up the brush again now and hopefully a log will provide some encouragement.
your red has come out really well, not too vibrant but still with good depth and high lights, the black chest eagle iw nicely highlighted too. Your eye lenses are very goodm a tutorial would be nice, if i may be so bold?
looking forward to seeing your battle company develop fella, keep the good work coming.
Wow so many blood angels logs lately... it was to be expected I guess
But he really looks nice though, I like the black aquilla sign, gold is all I see lately
keep it up
Proud enough for you to call me arrogant. Cruel enough for me to feel no grief.
Dirty enough for me to lust, leaving nothing left to trust.
Jealous enough to still feel envious. Lazy enough to sleep all day. And let my life just waste away.
Selfish enough to make you wait for me!

Very nice, a good solid red which the black compliments well to give him a real nice dark look. I agree that the lenses looks very nice as do the helmet gems.

Bad picture (sorry!) of the death co. test model. If you look at the chest eagle you can see that the armour is actually a very dark blue (as opposed to the chest eagle that is just primer black)
I like the dark blue/black effect armour, its a hard look to get right by looks ace when you do. There was a painting guide in WD for the Legion of the damnded models on black/blue armour.
I think you are achieving the aesthetic nicely, looking forward to seeing a finished death company marine. keep up the good work.
Some custom bitz. You may have already seen these if you browse the great crusade forum or have seen my other WIP thread. I plan to make a few units in MK2/3/4 that can be used in pre-heresy games.
hey, pretty awesome and I liked it. I'll be following this thread.
Keep this coming

Some more bitz we are working on - MK2 style bolters. I had a friend make the model for 3D printing and if all goes well I will cast them up.

looking forward to what you produce fella, especially as forge world are releasing a varient too. Your other stuff has been most impressive.
The upcoming forge world guns (the guns we have seen) are much closer to MK5-6, shown below. Ours is similar to the bolter illustrated with the MK2 gear in the codex and the bolter that is carried by one of the OOP space marine MK3 variants. They could probably pass for one another but discerning pre-heresy nuts will be able to sport the difference. The position and style of the ammo clip really gives it away.

Awesome looking test piece. I like the work on the pre-heresy bolters.
Can't wait to see what's next.

Ah, yes the third company...
Which Tycho are you using? I've heard that the non-deathcompany Tycho isn't worth it.
Very nice stuff, love the red. Can't wait for more!
Tycho will probably be last. I think I will paint up both versions.
The dreadnought claw, where did you find that! It nice!!!
Blood Angels painting soon...
I made them. See here:

finally printed!
Wow that looks awesome. Wish I had access to 3D printing with that kind of accuracy. The possibilities are endless. Looking forward to seeing it painted. Quick question...what kind of material is it printed in?
