Showcase - Pre Heresy Dark Angels Leviathan Dreadnought

Hi All,

Heres my first post on my own without the watchful eye of doc, showcased here is my newly finished 30k pre heresy Dark Angels Leviathan Dreadnought with storm cannon and grav flux bombard, to start I thought I would pose him a bit differently by mounting his foot on a 30k marine, I airbrushed the body in a mix of black and grey, painted all the ancillary colours (silver and red) then highlighted the model. And added a few washes , the grav flux I have used a bit of OSL in a jade green did not want it to bright, I weathered the model with a mix of weathering powders and sponge not tried that before result came out OK as for the base I carried on my theme of Mars using forge world runs weathering powders , I painted the mk3 marine world eater Colours . Hope you all like not done this before a lot more things to learn.
Here are a few pics:

I have a lot more to showcase on here but as with me all this new stuff takes me a little time to figure out what I'm doing. C and C are very welcome to point me in the right direction.

That's all for the moment

30K First Legion Dark Angels Showcase Video

Hi All,

Today is my first ever attempt at a post under the watchful eye of DOC! and also our first attempt at a showcase video.

I have spent the last couple of weeks working on my first legion for 30K and have tried a number of new techniques including OSL, Weathering, Sponge Weathering and airbrushing.

When painting black it is a reverse shading effect by painting the lighter colours on the underside in this case I sprayed vallejo dark sea grey followed by vallejo light grey and blended it vallejo black.

The bases were my first attempt at a Mars effect using forgeworld "Rust" weathering powder.  I felt
the bases were a great contrast to the darker colour scheme of the first legion.

Enjoy the video and please comment below as I would like to understand how to make them better!




We will be doing more showcase videos here on Code40K so please click subscribe on our new youtube channel.  Doc has already put a couple of videos for you to enjoy.

Cheers

The Great British Build Off - Heresy Arms Race - The Dark Angels

Morning All,

Posted on behalf of InnerMech....

The Dark Angels finally have heresy parts and although expensive I wanted all the models to look top draw.  I have purchased the Battle for Calth but also lots of other MKs through forgeworld.  I wanted a mixture in the army to reflect the different armour used at the time.

I have an approach to painting which is to get a quality table top standard but most of all get all the models on the table ready to play.  So when I build something I glue them fully together unless it would be impossible to paint.  With the first test game for age of darkness lined up for this Friday I have been busy building this lot:

Legion tactical marines all based on code designs bases and available at Worcester Wargames

Plasma - love the look of the 30K plasmas!

Volkite - Assault weapon death

Still work in progress the tracks are particularly challenging!

Command Squad with dark angel parts need that fearless option!

Plasma, plasma, plasma, I have always lined my 40k DA's up with plasma now the 30K dudes can have some.

Bit static pose but for the money well worth it!

Hope you like the build will show you more as I get into it.

Cheers
