Army Pictures and Dark Talon WIP shots..

So I splurged a little on some of the new Dark Angel options out there.. I've revamped my project list to include the Ravenwing Black Knights and the Command Squadrons and I've had a look at the boxes.. There is going to be a lot of work needed to get these painted up well, but I'm looking forward to it. To help me out with painting another Ravenwing Assault Squadron I'm also planning to paint up a Dark Talon fighter craft. The model looks awesome and aside from a few dilemmas over what I should do with the canopy so that you can see I've painted the interior of the cockpit I'm almost ready to start a base coat.

To that end I've got a few WIP shots of the Dark Talon and a few overall army pictures of everything I've been painting for the Path to Redemption. I'm optimistic about the project!

Dark Talon:










And some of the full army so far:

January Vow Complete!

So I started with just a Landspeeder to complete a Ravenwing Attack Squadron and then I added a Venerable Dreadnought. Photos below:
Venerable Dreadnought Front:

Venerable Dreadnought Side:

Venerable Dreadnought Plasma Cannon:

Ravenwing Speeder:

December Vow Completed!

So a light month this month. I only vowed an Attack Bike and I've been pushed to finish it due to the amount of things that need doing this month. Completed photos below:


Not sure what will be up for January. Most likely a landspeeder to complete the unit and a venerable dreadnought but we'll see how much time I have to paint next month.

November Vow - Better pictures..

Some better photos of the November vow models:
5 man Terminator Unit:

Chaplain on a Bike:

November Vow completed...

Finally finished up the last terminator for the squad for November.. I even managed to get decals on the shoulders of all models and I think they look pretty good! Squad picture:


Couple of the terminators:

Sergeant (not 100% happy with the sword on this one.. it might get re-done to match the other sergeant...) :

Cyclone launcher terminator:

November Chaplain completed!

So I've managed to finish off the chaplain and 4 of 5 terminators. I'll post up the terminators later once I have them all completed and photos have been taken.. The only aspect of the chaplain that I'm not 100% happy with is the skin on the face. I really struggle to paint flesh and have little to no talent for it..

November Oath - WIP

Just a few WIP shots for what's on the table for the month of November..
Terminators:







and these are components of my chaplain on a bike.. well.. once it's all glued together it'll be a chaplain on a bike.. at the moment it's just pieces because I'm hoping it'll be easier to paint that way..

November Oath

The November Oath for the Path to Redemption has now been decided. I'll paint up a Chaplain on a bike for my Ravenwing and another squad of terminators. This one will have a cyclone missile launcher and a chainfist as well as a banner on the sergeant so I've got something to pick at the details with.

October Vow - Another shot..

One last one, a slightly warmer shot than the previous ones:

October Vow - Completed...

After spending most of the weekend frantically tidying and squeezing friends in, I managed to make some time to complete the squad of terminators that go with the Land Raider from the previous post. So without much ado photos of said terminators:
Terminator with Lightning Claws:


Terminator with Thunderhammer & Storm Shield:



Terminator Sergeant with Chainfist. This wasn't originally my candidate for the sergeant until I double checked the codex and realised that I can't substitute a heavy flamer for the sergeant's storm bolter. D'oh!



Another Terminator with Lightning Claws:


Terminator with Heavy Flamer:




Finally, a quick couple of group shots of the unit:




Now to think about November's oath.. probably will do another unit of terminators and a land raider crusader..
