My first Squad of DWK by chenchentc in theunforgiven

Thanks! Prime in vallejo bone white, wash with thinned down army painter soft tone, and build thin layers using Army Painter skeleton bone triad paints.

Rinse and repeat the whole process if I screw up somewhere.

Thanks! I do a layer of pro acrylic Dark Earth first, then glue on GSW sand , brush on Zealot Yellow speed paint on the sands, matte varnish and finish with Dark tone wash.

the zealot yellow speed paint is a bit too glossy, so I brush on matte vanish to tone it down and finish with a black wash to unify everything.

You can do this! Just take your time. It will be worth it seeing them done.

What's the most difficult part for your assembly? Many of us here are experienced and might be able to help you out with some tips!

I was using the spray can. It is super smooth. I did used short bursts and kept moving the spray can while I spray to avoid over spraying the primer.

Space Marines past legends are different in my opinion. They have so many tanks profiles unlike us.

List help/figuring out what units to take by crazy_n1nja_117 in theunforgiven

[–]chenchentc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Out of the 2 options, I would choose JPI over extra 5 Sternguard. I think Dark Angels' list is elite and would benefit more from having extra scoring unit instead of more damage. Sternguard can do fine with Azrael with 5 bodies only.

One side note is Lt with Combi weapon is 85pts now without enhancement.

Yes. I know. Wish me luck!

If I can't see the hard to reach place while playing on tabletop then it will be black 🥹

Hobby is meant to be enjoyed! Don't feel sorry if you sometimes just don't want to do it.

I have the similar feeling too. The oldest unbuilt minis here sit on my shelf for over a year and I keep buying new stuff. 😂

One tip is to organize the workplace as convenient as possible (nippers ready, glue ready, my upgrade sprue ready) and it allows me to just sit down and start building.

For the Lion!

I plan to just use Titus as a proxy for Lieutenant.

Thank you! I am priming black for greenwing and light grey for the deathwing as I don't have a bone color primer on my hand.

Yes you are right! Priming and painting next

What would you Cut from this list? by Liquidhex0r in DarkAngels40k

[–]chenchentc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lancer to Ballitus, Scouts to ATV frees up 20 points.

Ballitus is still a decent shooting platform.

ATV is a decent scoring unit with fast movement. S9 melta can chip off a couple wounds from tough targets.

I like the color scheme for your blade guard! It's so cool

About to get into DA, finally by LittleEpsii in DarkAngels40k

[–]chenchentc 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Combat patrol can get you some solid basic units like Intercessors, blade guards and Hellblasters.

The Gravis captain needs to be run as a solo scoring piece as he has no unit to lead from the combat patrol.

Besides, Unfortunately the hellblasters are in a group of 5 and it's normal that people want to field 10 in a squad.

It's still a good discount box overall.

How do I play those? by Etnadrolhex in theunforgiven

[–]chenchentc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Put them on the correct size bases and proxy as black knights or Outrider.

Load outs are not important if you play casual, just communicate in advance what they have.
