Dark Angels: Dark Vengeance Expansion

Hello.  

Recently, in stores with GW products , there was something that really could be usefull for my Dark Angels Chapter . Namely, announced some time ago in blogs and leaks, Dark Angels : Dark Vengeance Expansion box.

Picture from Games Workshop official site.

Judging from the description of the stores and the picture on the box, the kit contains:
- Ravenwing squad command,
- Deathwing Knights,
- Dark Talon gunship.

I'll have to develop a new list based on Ravenwing.

6 motorbikes is not enough so I guess I will have to buy Sammael and Vengeance Landspeeder.

So I suspect that the Dark Angels: Battleforce is the best. 6 bikes, land speeder, and atack bike.

 I hope that what is described as the Knights Deathwing is in fact a complete Deathwing Command Squad, which will allow me to gluing Close Combat Terminators. I'm really missing in my current list.
I would have removed one squad then the third company and was replaced by Terminators.

I will try to publish a list based on Ravenwing soon.

Dark Angels Veterans update.

Hello.
Here i want to post Veterans progress.


               I changed my attitude both for painting and gluing the dark angels,so probably I'll have to fix the rest.
My original idea was to dark angels were the dark, almost monochrome, no decorations, gold, etc.
Just Dark Angels Green and Dark Tone wash :)
But after reviewing the chapter upgrade-pack and bits remaining from the box of veterans , I decided to stick the all this wings, flags and ornaments.

            So that was some effect, I had to paint them differently too.
I opted for the much brighter Goblin Green, + Thraka Green wash, highlighted by Scorpion Green. Thats for the power armor.

            Robes, as standard Screaming Skull, Strong tone wash, drybrushed by Tyrant Skull, and brightened again Scraming Skull and White Scar.

            Generally, I meant to make it brighter, more colorful, and at the same time not to lose the Gothic mood Dark Angels, or color scheme.

 I took it that all my "Green Wing" will be the 3rd company of the master Issachar.(i need new Company master model then )

Here are some pictures of the mentioned Veterans. Still WIP.

                   And then the next issue. I do not know how to take good pictures. Because in reality models look a lot better than on the pictures. These are made  Canon Powershot FX 500 IS, on a stand with lighting behind the camera.
I need to work on, because I have this camera not long, and basically did just pictures on automatic settings ...



 
I tried to change a few settings ...

 I have still to work on it .....

Fimo modeling mass and a things I did

Hello.

              I recently bought a few items. Among other things, the modeling mass produced by  Staedler
company. Great stuff. The mass is ideal for building terrains. Bricks, small walls, trees, rocks and whatever comes to mind. 

Since one picture is worth more than a thousand words, I put the whole movie to show how it looks.

 In addition to all the other advantages, has one: it is cheap. $ 4 per 0,5 kg.

Slow progress

Welcome. 
 Posts appear rarely, because you know, summer season, children, work, building ... the winter will be better :) 
 I have not done significant progress in Warhammer 40k. In total, out of a losing battle for 2500 pts against Sas's chaos , I have not played anything else.
 
With models, I bought Cadia Armored Fist. 10 stormtroopers painted the classic Cadia paint scheme . Chimera Transport I decided to glue and paint as part of the army of Death Korps of Krieg.
This required the purchase of DKK Tank Commander of the Far East :)
 
The effects I put on film. I'm just beginning and I completely lack the experience, I hope that the next video will be better.

 Of course, this is a WIP. There is still much to be done. To mount there are two frames with parts.
Hunter killer missile, dozer blade, and a radar antenna.
And of course, painting details, decals and other such ...

Mysterious Object

                Because our favorite company, has released a great set of useful tools for the hobby at a reasonable price, it has become a fashionable topic.
Perhaps later write about other tools such as pliers and drills, contrast, now I would like to describe an incredibly useful thing. In Poland it is called third hand, and the name is quite accurate.

 As you can see in the picture there are the two arms ending in a pair of pliers on the hard stand and magnifier in the middle.
I know many people who bought this thing and proved to be completely useless to them. For me, quite the opposite. 

The name speaks for itself. The thing helps with gluing, drilling, sanding, painting, not to mention about. But the most useful during soldering.
Of course, it takes a certain skill in handling this object, I say it is better for painting the empty paint pot + plasticine, but third hand guarantees you stability.

 And another advantage is the price. Of course, if not manufactured by one company mentioned in the beginning.
 In Poland, the Russians and Ukrainians sell them at flea markets for 15 PLN its about 3£...

 I would recommend anyone buying this mystical object because its no expense, and really helps a lot..

Some of my WFB miniatures

        I'm still waiting to a comfortable moment to do a tutorial of the miniatures magnetization. Suitable does it mean when a child will not be at home :)
 Instead, today I put some pictures of Skaven to WFB.

 Machines... They give Skaven army unique atmosphere.

I love skaven weapon team models. I have a few of each type :) Although I realize that they are a little use during the battle.

 












This is my conversion skaven plague catapult and the parts that were out of my doombel / plague furnance.

 ... and a few smaller models. Assasin is finecast and scored a fall, by which corner of the jacket could no longer be restored. Its a pity, because earlier looked like spinning shuriken. Plague Priest comes with the kit doombell / plague furnance, and engineer and clanrats comes from set of island of blood.

WIP Dark Angels Deathwing Land Raider

I wanted to try out the camera, as it has become a showcase for the progress of the land raider. I'm still waiting for the crusader upgrade kit. Knowing Andrew is probably two weeks after Easter will be ... For the moment working on the shadows and the appropriate color. Let's say that with power Fist am glad But I had to necessarily change the driver's head. The one who glued this model could leave the hatches closed. Before me still a lot of sawing, cutting, gluing. This is a lesson not to buy used models in poor condition. Even if they are cheap.

New Imperial Guard

When something new comes out of GW pages and sites about hobbies, flooding me photographs ...
The worst was probably the Imperial Knight. While this is a great model, epic in every way, I have little enough. What a lot of it and the pig will not eat :)
 I guess I am writing this because of some jealousy those who are, or may mieć.If my wife saw a model of this size would get a heart attack.

 But let us leave imperial knight because the topic is old and not fresh.
Rather I wanted to write something about Astra Militarum, or a new imperial Guard.
 My feelings probably are not other that throughout the rest of the Internet.

Infantry, is great. Especially scions. Probably not only to me reminds British commandos from battle of falkland. Perhaps even so was the idea of the designer.


















It is worse with vehicles. Let's say that hydra /wyvern looks good, although it is  another variation of the chimeras probably. Especially hydra has something, or I just like to antiaircraft guns.

 On the other hand taurox / taurox prime is ugly as November's night. To me it associate with KrAZ 6322. Maybe because a lot of these I have seen, in the army, so far in Poland they run in a surface mines.

 























 Perhaps taurox would be nicer if  caterpillars been replaced with wheels. Somewhere I saw a set of wheels to the Chimera.These four caterpillars simply look silly.

Painting fence for customer

Today I painted the fence model in 1:1 scale. :) It gave me some experience with polyvinyl paint.
It's kind of liquid rubber. I do not know how you can use it in modeling hobby.
But as my son says: "It's a chemistry that if you eat one teaspoon, you will hit the graveyard ." :)
A thinner to the paint is even worse. 
I dont know, maybe i can use it to make some terrain or dioramas. 

How to do wash of acrylic paint

I run out of  black wash, the model store in my city  did not have any, in Bard (local wargaming store)  had neither Army Painter nor Citadel wash. I needed it badly to move land raider painting. I dont want to wait, so buing it online was not an option.
So I bought a thinner for acrylics in paint store. Half a liter is the smallest package ...
Fortunately, I had a feeling and checked how it works on plastics. Probably the smell of the substance. Of course plastic was eaten. He first made a sticky, and later began to dissolve.
I could put it in my chaos army as a Nurgle possessed Land Raider.

But what to do ?
I looked through several online modeling forums, and found a solution to my problem.

How to make wash yourself:
Add paint to the water ? I tried it myself. It is not wash but only watered down paint.
It will not go into a depressions of the model, but remained on the protuberances and flat surfaces.
Dishwashing liquid is a trick.
Added to the watered down paint, causing it to behave like wash.
Choosing the appropriate proportions requires several experiments, but the results are satisfactory.

New projects

A long time I did not write anything, but you know the kids ...  In the meantime, a number of projects was born.
 
For example, the guards which I wrote about some time ago was sent to me.
From Russia with love :) 

Perfect castings, resin 100 times better than finecast. Zero bubbles and dropouts.
The only thing missing is a assembly manual.

 Another project is the dark angels devastator sqad. I decided to assembly them with dark angels veterans bodies (robes !) and equip a Devastators weapons.
When I got both sets, after seeing all the parts, I decided to magnetize weapons. I have used magnets 5x2 mm. The smallest I was able to buy. For power armor fit perfectly.
At last I found that I can have both teams, if magnetize appropriate number of weapons. I'm in the middle :)


The next project is a Landraider. I bought one on allegro. Being used. Judging by the pictures,  I should not expect miracles. What I got was a real disaster. All painted with red spray, hopelessly glued, missing several sections of the tracks. But above all, there is no weapon in sponsons !
Now  I have to buy weapons on ebay, and maybe turn it into a crusader.

 When I spent a few hours on it, it can still be saved.
