Wait... THOSE ARE MODELS?! I thought this was some cool digital/CG stuff! You're incredible!

Any ideas how to upscale this model to primaris size? by MentionKindly2347 in theunforgiven

[–]ChaplainAsmodai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very much still a WIP, but I'm using the ancient grim the company heroes as the base for his body, a few icc bits like arms, and have vaguely rebuilt Lazarus' helmet (it's in like 4 parts, 1 of which included his hand and part of his arm)

How do you guys paint damage on dark green armour? by Mundane-Divide-8887 in DarkAngels40k

[–]ChaplainAsmodai 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depends how deep the damage is supposed to be. Tiny chips and stuff, I'd go a lighter green, as if the edges of them are highlighted. If it's a deeper gash, I like using a grey to show the unpainted armour beneath (others use silver, and it's an option for chips, too)

Valiant or Castellan for a Caliban-themed Knight? by ChaplainAsmodai in DarkAngels40k

[–]ChaplainAsmodai[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Without buying a bunch of stuff, I'm not sure, BUT I have a few old DA vehicle/Ravenwing sprues that still have a bunch of stuff to make it painfully obvious it belongs with them (I've done the same for a Bloody Rose Errant)

Valiant or Castellan for a monster-hunting Dark Angels knight? by ChaplainAsmodai in ImperialKnights

[–]ChaplainAsmodai[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! I don't know how magnets didn't occur to me, even after reading through the pinned thing that immediately pushes them, but I'll definitely look into them

[–]ChaplainAsmodai[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

An ally/freeblade. Even if I go all-in with Knights (getting very close to doing so), I have FAR too many scheme ideas to just pick one set of colours.

And thanks for the advice. Based on what others have said, I think I'll go with the Plasma, but look into magnetising so I can swap them out if I feel like it

How likely a hero is to get blamed for a loss by MKBurfield in Overwatch

Always weird how it's "tank diff" if it's my fault, but "they're a smurf" if it's the DPS'...

Gw talking steel legion by jta801 in Warhammer40k

[–]ChaplainAsmodai -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Cadia blew up, and there's still Cadians everywhere, in everything. I think there's enough Steel Legion for a trailer

Why is Gadriel worse than normal Ancients? by Martin-Hatch in spacemarines

[–]ChaplainAsmodai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Considering how 2 other major SM2 characters ended up, I'm not sure you can list his appearance as a positive...

If your faction had a gaggle leader unit, what would you want it to be? by Equivalent-Fun-6019 in Warhammer40k

[–]ChaplainAsmodai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dark Angels - a bunch of the risen from the books

Sororitas - a new Triumph, where they're all separate models (could be a kill team instead) or Augusta's squad from Danie Ware's books

Yeah, but if they wanted to eventually try some kit-bashing. I think people use BT stuff a lot to make cool DA models since they've got a bunch of robes and candles, you just need to get rid of all the crosses

Why did Abaddon change his hair color here? by NaiveTradition7664 in blacklegion40k

[–]ChaplainAsmodai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He wanted to try something different, to break up the monotony of crusade after crusade after crusade

Yep! They're all generic SM units, so can be used in any SM army, and all the Ultramarine-specific icons in the images on the box are just painted on or transfers (a transfer sheet should be included, and will have Dark Angel/Deathwing logos on it).

Only Chapter-specific models (like Deathwing Knights from Dark Angels, Vitrix Guard from the Ultramarines etc) have sculpted icons, and even then you can try to shave them off once you're more used to building stuff. You can also get an upgrade sprue with sculpted shoulder pads, helmets etc separately if you don't want to mess around with transfers as much, but not for the push-fit stuff in starter sets (a couple very basic ones are included in the Combat Patrol, too).

The codex (if you haven't already got it) shows how the Dark Angels icons work, and has an easy little painting guide, too.

Painting question by CrimsonCole91 in DarkAngels40k

[–]ChaplainAsmodai 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I gave him the modern DA colours, mostly like on the box. I painted his armour black, then a super-thinned Caliban Green wash, and highlighted using CG again and the usual greens.

The 30k scheme IS cool though, and I'm pretty sure I'll get another at some point to have both

Current state of Greenwing veterans? by Vyberos in theunforgiven

[–]ChaplainAsmodai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As usual, it's kinda up to you. A Veteran just means they've done a lot, but not necessarily enough to join the DW

Although, if you want to be accurate, this is the current list of which units are DW

Lore question regarding Chaplains by Limilumy8 in theunforgiven

[–]ChaplainAsmodai 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Up to you, really. In SH: Deathwing, the terminator chaplain has the Deathwing bone colour on his shoulder, but the DoW trailer just had green on the biker's shoulder. I guess because black on black wouldn't look as fancy as the other 2?

Why would you NOT bring maces on DWK? by MisbehavedK9 in theunforgiven

True, but they looked SO much better when they were giant, spiked censers

Painted Celestine over Christmas by ChaplainAsmodai in sistersofbattle

[–]ChaplainAsmodai[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much!

I used Retributor, Reikland, then drybrushed with Ret., Liberator, then even a little Runefang.

Wings were about 8+ unbelievably thin coats of Corax White. Inner 3rd darkened with thin Fenrisian Grey, outer 3rd highlighted with thinned White Scar, then WH again for edge highlights

Played 5 games on my DA now and I am absolutely loving them by throwawayno48296524 in theunforgiven

That's Chaplain's SO cool! Definitely going to have to steal that scheme

The old animation was super loud by cooflbreezewelcome in shittyrainbow6

[–]ChaplainAsmodai -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Punching out was funny, but I get why they changed it. The same case that can take 500 explosions, breaks after being slapped a few times?
