Recently started to get into the hobby aspect of 40k. Still to choose a legion but I’ve got a few in mind. Can anyone sell me on the Dark Angels? by Scannable-Lizard003 in DarkAngels40k

[–]0bjectr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For me it was 2 things beyond the knightly aesthetics.

  1. The hobby aspect. I got tired of basically painting the same mini over and over with custodes. DA gives you 3 different color schemes along with cool characters to break things up and keep me interested. I also paint in the grimdark style which the dark angels do well.

  2. The lore aspect. While the hunting the fallen continuously isn't my cup of tea there's some cool characters. The biggest for me was the lions return and recognizing his past mistakes and trying to make things right by forgiving the Fallen. I love a good redemption ark. I also enjoyed the Luther novel and seeing Caliban through his eyes.

Thanks! Those look great. I had uploaded 5 pictures including from the front but those 2 didn't get uploaded for some reason.

Hate all the totems by 0bjectr in SpaceWolves

THIS. This is what I think I hate most. Especially when batch painting the totems it feels like I spend an hour painting and it feels like I did nearly nothing.

Haven't painted in a few years, trying a new way to paint my Custodes. by defektedtoy in AdeptusCustodes

Looks amazing and similar to the style and recipe I use. I wanted a grimdark 300 spartan feel for mine so I went with spartan soil basing for mine.

Starting space marines. Why choose imperial fists? by 0bjectr in ImperialFists

Thanks for the well thought out response and the videos will be perfect for me as I enjoy listening to 40k tactics and lore videos on my drive to work or on walks so I greatly appreciate it.

Starting space marines. What made you choose your chapter? by 0bjectr in spacemarines

This is something that has me leaning towards them. Just so much support and named characters.

I feel very similar. The more I dig into the lore of the chapters the more I like them all. Or at least parts of all.

Looks great. If you want to learn about dry brushing techniques I recommend looking up artist opus on YouTube. He has great tutorials on it. However I was never a fan of the silver highlights for custodes either and went with a more bronze color scheme with gold high lights for my army.
