#12 Painted, Warhammer 40k, Dark Vengeance, Dark Angels

Warhammer 40k, Dark Vengeance, Dark Angels

Introduction

When I picked up Dark Vengeance I badly wanted some space marines, I've had Imperial Guard for the longest time and never had any marines, I also wanted terminators, oh and a land raider but I digress. This was my first and most likely last attempt at them. I really enjoyed painting them, they are easy models for the most part and I feel I got some decent results.

Whats in the Box?

I'm only going to cover Dark Angels here.

Company Master

A Librarian

Ten-man Tactical Squad,

 

Five-man Deathwing Terminator Squad

Three-man Ravenwing Bike Squadron

Assembly

All the models were fairly easy, the bikes were the oddest of the bunch. I think I would have done them differently if I'd had another go and kept some bits unglued.

Painting

I followed the guides provided by Games Workshop, I substituted some paints for other I had already purchased. The biggest issue I had was betting the white strong on the models, because of the dark under colours it made it very patchy. I tried to cover it with the inks.

The guide is here:

Basing

I used the Sand and PVA with gray (Reaper, Military Gray) dry brush method, Nothing complicated.

Conclusion

I enjoyed the models and the painting but sadly hated the price tag. I've got a hard mental limit on my spending for Games Workshop, the only stuff I'd spring for these day are the Starter Boxes, but with Mantics Warpath and Kings of war, even Wrath of Kings, Has substantially dried up that well.

Good luck Games Workshop.

Would Recommend at sub $120 AUD, there are fun things at the same price and just as nice miniatures.
