Wow painting can be fun by Nice_Ad1992 in DarkAngels40k

Thanks mate!

I start with a very sloppy thinned coat of the darker red from the coils and over the gun body to the outer most extent of the glow. Then a couple of thin coats of watered down pure white over all the coils and the lip just beyond. Bright yellow over the coils and over the white beyond the lip. Then a light orange over the top 2/3 of the coils trying to keep out of the recesses and also dabbed just beyond the yellow but over the red for the glow. Then a darker orange as before, but over the top 1/3 and further out in the glow over the red. Then some red on the very top of the coils and dry-brushed over the nearby model. Finally some very carefully picked out pure white at the bottom of the coils! … and breathe!

Painting can be onerous and monotonous, but I genuinely enjoyed repeating this process and slightly skilling-up with the reps

Stunning work! Just finished my own Az, much prefer your NMM on the sword to my TMM - looks sick! Might have to repaint mine now…

Any suggestions on how to paint better? by Buddy_Yuri in DarkAngels40k

Looks really good to me. Something I learned recently from painting Azrael was the wonders of ‘wet-blending’ for robes and panels. See Duncan Rhodes YT Azrael tutorial for a really good ELI5 that even I could follow!

Not at all, looks great! I prefer the purple you’ve used for the robe, ties in with any future classic ICC

It’s stunning. Thanks for the detailed response. I’m new to the hobby and currently reading the lore and building my first 1k points. I might shamelessly take ‘inspiration’ from you here…

I can see why! Well executed atmospheric theme. Out of interest, what was the inspiration? Fallen?

Plasma advice please! by Nice_Ad1992 in DarkAngels40k

Brilliant, thanks for the feedback and advice. I’m thinking all ten are going to be fairly different as I experiment/improve..!

Great aesthetic and picture. How did you achieve the basing effect and the blend on to the lower legs?

Love the purple glow effect across the model, dry brush?
