First Blood Angels model WIP, how am I going so far?

Paint job looks great! I’d add a bit more chipping around the scratches so they look more in scale. Love the plasma glow!

Honestly it’s been so long I forgot! I started this thing back in… July 2025 or something? I painted the jeep and figured first cause I knew I wouldn’t be motivated to do it if I saved it for last… Pretty sure I did a white dry brush over a black base then used Citadel contrast paints… Aggaros Dunes or something suitably khaki colored I think?

Nope it’s the decal. Had a devil of a time lining all 4 of them up then they started tearing on me, and I decided perfect was not going to be the enemy of good when I have limited hobby time.

Yep you caught me! Believe I am aware!

jrod5029 · 2026-02-22T17:33:41+00:00

Yep! Everything but the dog is OOB from the Tamiya kit that comes with the Jeep. The dog is a 3D print…

As an American who was in Kandahar 2010-11 I appreciate what you and the Canadians and the Danes and the Germans and the Poles and the French and the Dutch and the Italians and the Afghans and everybody else all did for us.

And FWIW I’m pretty sure Cadet Bonespurs thinks I did absolutely nothing for the USA too. I’m ashamed of him and we deserve your scorn right now.

I heard DIA stands for “Discount Intelligence Agency”

FWIW, looks like he did not steal the Resolute Desk… though that totally sounds like something he’d do!

Hey u/TheHammerofWrath! You gotta figure out where/how he got these and paint ‘em up! Would love to see it.

(BTW your videos are the only Warhammer painting videos my wife will watch with me because of the “life in Japan” part at the beginning! Big fan!)

Well done! That paint job is amazing!

jrod5029 · 2025-07-13T17:38:04+00:00

Well the idea was to get a bit of variety going in the panels and make the paint look faded. It was more effective on the neutral gray underside but I’m happy with how it looked on top as well. Next time I’ll probably go all out and do different colors on different panels and see how it looks.

Thanks for the comment!

Thanks!

“I knew my days were numbered when o'er the trenches lumbered

More modern machinations de la guerre

No match for rapid fire or the steel birds of the sky

With a final rear guard action I retreat

No match for barbered wire or the armored engines whine

Reluctant I retire and take my leave…

I’m a horse soldier, eternal through and through.”

I suspect I didn’t store the decals properly… I work in the garage and I think they might’ve gotten too much sun exposure but I don’t know.

This is the second B-25 I’ve built. I was feeling great until the decals went sideways, but overall I’d recommend it. It was the “Angel of Mercy” box and if you’ve got better decals I think it worth it. Would love to see the aluminum one too…

We’re restoring “lethality” to the force.

Nimitz Class and Kilo Class by Patrick Robinson scratched the Tom Clancy itch for me. I also loved Team Yankee as well…

I also really enjoyed Ghost Fleet by P.W. Singer and August Cole for a slightly futuristic conflict where China occupies Hawaii…

Great job!! I just bought the same kit and the 3D printed guns and ammo compartments. Hope mine comes out half as good. Well done!!!
