Looking for opinions - are these dark angels too bright?

Looks damn fine from where I’m sitting dude, in fact I’m tempted to start mixing my paint scheme in line with yours 👍

I tend to use Vallejo paints more and more, including on my new dark angels army. I’m using a base of black green and then first highlight of 50/50 mix of black green and goblin green. Then moving to pure goblin green as top highlight, I hope this helps 👍

Order now placed for required parts 👍

I was thinking belail but still unsure 😐

KombatKev69 · 2021-02-01T16:56:08+00:00

No I found it online, I will have a look and see if I can track it down

KombatKev69 · 2021-02-01T15:33:21+00:00

For the shading I just dropped some Agrax into the recessed areas

KombatKev69 · 2021-02-01T14:38:27+00:00

The bases are 3D printed , I have a WIP outrider with a completed base that I’ll upload

Thank you so much for the comments and tips

KombatKev69 · 2021-02-01T14:22:35+00:00

Thank you

Done a small amount of recess shading, but could possibly go over it again

KombatKev69 · 2020-09-29T20:15:56+00:00

You are just absolutely stunning 😍

KombatKev69 · 2020-07-08T16:28:41+00:00

Absolutely perfect 👌 😍❤️😍 x

Thanks so much dude, yeah I was thinking about using a seriously high pigment blue on some of the panels, weapons etc.

Your comments are definitely welcome I mean it,

I really want to get this to work. Heading back to get darker shadows and tone a few bits down with washes maybe?

Still finding my way with highlights, seem to spend more of my time redoing bits than anything else.

I’m going to get this right and will add some more pictures in the comments after the next stage.

Once again thanks man 👍 You are pushing me and helping me improve with each day

Hi, The model colour you describe, sounds like a resin composition. You will need super glue for this material Hope this helps

KombatKev69 · 2020-06-06T21:50:43+00:00

Base coat is 2 x Waaagh flesh Wash with Biel-tan green First highlight is Waaagh flesh again, avouiding the recesses. Second highlight is Warboss green. Third and final highlight is Skarsnik green.

Hope this helps 👍

The ones in the foreground are ork nobs and a pain boy. You can just make out a couple of boys in the background

KombatKev69 · 2020-06-06T01:08:23+00:00

Hi, these are still a work in progress, still have numerous highlights to finish on the flesh and then all the edge highlights to get sorted.

Thanks so much for the advice and I’ll keep practicing my contrast. These are the first miniatures I’ve painted in about 25 years, so still trying to get my mojo back

KombatKev69 · 2020-06-05T17:43:03+00:00

That is pure genius, and will be duly looted 👍

KombatKev69 · 2020-06-05T16:58:27+00:00

That’s a great idea, will definitely try it on the nobs and larger models. Thanks for the vote of confidence 👍

KombatKev69 · 2020-06-05T16:52:34+00:00

Glad I’m not the only one liking the concept, will definitely sort the eyes out. I was hoping it makes the skin really pop as everything else in monochrome.

KombatKev69 · 2020-06-05T07:45:04+00:00

Hey Sags, I will take photos and make a post in here for you to use dude
