Ravenwing taking shape..

So far so good... I've managed to get two bikes fully painted, the other 4 are base coated.. and will likely be finished off soon.. I've also got two landspeeders set aside for a support squadron and I'll likely put them together as typhoons..

Between that and Sammael it's all starting to take shape.. I've had my lesson in extreme highlighting and to be honest.. I'll probably not bother.. but then again I may.. I just need to see how much more time it will add..

Whirlwind complete..

Finally... it's done.. whirlwind #2 is complete.. and the immortals are also polished off.. so I have space on my tray.. which I've filled with the 6 ravenwing biker units.. They are all base coated.. and they are looking quite neat.. these are basically just adding 2-3 colours and they are done.. I'm hoping to finish a test model tonight and then can get on to the rest later..

I also have the deceiver and 1 landspeeder to paint.. but I think for the moment I'll be concentrating on the ravenwing.. that includes putting together Sammael..

New photos..

are up! Thanks Andy!

Toughing it out..

Finally managed to make a little more progress on the whirlwind that is sat on my tray.. I've essentially got the tank done.. just needs the searchlight, headlights and the icons painted.. then I just need to sort out the missile launcher on the top and then it'll be done.. that'll just be a couple coats of red and all the metallics on the launcher tubes themselves.. that'd then leave the speeder, the deceiver and 5 immortals.. assuming I get time this evening I can knock the immortals on the head as they are quite simple and quick to do..

Next question is, what to pull out of the case to paint next? I'm thinking the veteran assault squad, but I'm also a little wary of it as it'll require painting yellow which I'm not happy with.. I could do a tactical squad as I need the footsloggers so that's a good candidate.. I also have Ravenwing waiting but those should be relatively quick to paint.. seeing as they are mostly black..

Further progress..

Attack bike is now done! Finally.. it's been sat in pieces on my painting tray for ages.. so just the whirlwind, landspeeder, 5 immortals and deceiver remain.. I've also put together 6 Ravenwing bikers and finished one of my 2 partial veteran assault squads.. just need to shuffle cases around so the case of constructed and unpainted figures is downstairs..

Ravenwing

Hmmm.. after consultation with the community on Bolter & Chainsword an alternative load out for the project (which makes a lot of sense) has been recommended.. I naturally have over-thought the whole thing and have asked several questions re: weapons load out and the like.. I'm thinking that building the models out might need to hold off for a little..

Dreadnaught complete

Hurrah! Finally managed to get the last dreadnaught sorted out.. just need to finish off the base.. didn't make too much progress on the whirlwind.. but did manage to undercoat the attack bike..

The Ravenwing project is calling me.. I think I shall put together a couple of the models tonight and see how I get on with them..

More Blood Angels work..

Another few coats of paint on the dreadnaught and on the whirlwind.. might just be able to get them both done tonight.. just depends on how much time I have and all that.. that'd just leave the 5 immortals and the attack bike.. I hope to get the attack bike undercoated at the very least..

Look for an upcoming project.. Dark Angels 2nd Company : Ravenwing

List as follows.. even at £40 a box for the Attack Squadrons this is going to be a long term project.. especially since the landspeeders are circa £18 a piece and I'm going to need 10 of them for the Support Squadrons.. but hey.. this is what projects are for.. it also gives me something other than red to paint.. and I'll be experimenting with highlighting on these.. so we'll see how that goes..

Monolith rising..

Finished.. hurrah! Only 5 more immortals.. but have a 3500 point apocalypse session at the weekend.. so not sure if I should chop and change back to Blood Angels again.. seeing as I have a few things of theirs still to do..
