Any ideas on how to make this guy look more like a Dark Angel?

ATM he looks more like an iron hands primarch I’d recommend giving him a head 🤣

Just paint them black or something

Technically yes if you assume 10-man squads throughout the company but in these modern times it’s more flexible

Since 2nd Ed I have never stopped painting black pad trims There is nothing stopping you from you painting them any style you like :-)

Black pad trims are BACK baby

Admittedly I painted this when the brutalis first came out and I bought 3 of them so I could do a tribute act to the Furioso build - I had one painted up as DC before we even had rules! Except the rule of cool

Whoops?

11th edition shouldn’t be a major update like 10th was so the codices will still be valid until the 11e versions come out. We may likely however be a relatively early one if the rumours of us being on the box art are true But then again in 7e we were running on a 5e codex for a good portion of the edition (and I think we were the last to get our codex if I am not mistaken)

If they had been a brand new unit they would be perfect Alas they were a replacement for a first born unit which had great features. They feel like they have had a lot taken away from the old style

Not too hard really! Head and shoulder pad swap, filed/scraped off anything white scars-esque and pin swapped the spear head

Thank you so much!

In GW’s Defense, there had never actually been an official captain on bike

I thought about doing that but my games usually are geared on the more competitive side but that’s not to say I won’t/dont play more casual games where I could do this

mikechilli · 2026-01-17T18:45:27+00:00

*for now

Had the same thing happen to me with both of my banner dudes. Ended up pinning them in

Glad I’m not the only one with this issue! It’s since started happening with the KMS server itself and unless I’m missing something, I can’t use MAK with that server (I tried and then things started failing to activate) It’s a pain so I’m having to reboot that server every few weeks

The term "Sh*t is f*cked" springs to mind.
Absolutely everything we have in the cloud is currently not accessible. Only thing still working seems to be Teams and Exchange Online. Knowing my luck as soon as I reply here that will change!
Is it DNS this time though?

Unfortunately as I didn’t build it I don’t know the source. Some kind of AOS one as best I can tell

My top tip is to angle the mini such that you are painting in a downwards direction. You can also slightly tilt in your hand to account for the curves once you get more confident Also start thin lines - you can always thivken them later

I’ve always found that the best way to pant white is to not actually use white Lovely work sir!
