And your own personal Garden Bastion is top notch (though maybe that should have been in Dark Angel colours too :PRob-not-stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13535589578326730130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5766430862052117520.post-60846649763270273842015-09-05T11:49:49.713+01:002015-09-05T11:49:49.713+01:00Its supposed to be burnt-ish but needs a lot of pr...Its supposed to be burnt-ish but needs a lot of practise I feel to pull it off. No worries about not being your thing, though you'll be pleased to hear I don't plan on doing that on any of my Dark Angel vehicles!<br /><br />I have been asked at my club by a few people to detail how I do my grey/white wings so think I will use the ravenwing as a painting example on her at some point, and thank you for the compliment its very gratifying! I would really like to play against your imperial guard at some point as they look killer.<br /><br />I don't know if you have read my latest post but I also picked up Sammael of the same seller as he gave me first dibs as Sammael also has a custom cut slot in the KR case. Unfortunately I really don't like how landspeeders look and think the massive DA ones are a bit silly myself, though they are kick ass rules wise. Black Knights though will definitely happen as well as 2 Nephelim Jet fighters at some point!Rob-not-stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13535589578326730130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5766430862052117520.post-76555377568455360192015-09-05T11:46:21.578+01:002015-09-05T11:46:21.578+01:00Thanks Naff!

I'm really pleased with the stripes, still need to practise the weathering though to get it looking just so. <br /><br />Haha yes I feel I may be stretching my time a bit thin but felt the need to put something ready for when I finish my Blood Angels and Templars... I do think I'm going along at a fair lick, but then my models aren't half as beautiful as yours are! Do you think your Danse Macabre will be coming to the Bristol tournament you said you might attend next year?Rob-not-stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13535589578326730130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5766430862052117520.post-75899318565496450642015-09-03T11:23:51.381+01:002015-09-03T11:23:51.381+01:00Congrats on the first stamp of the hobby season, f...Congrats on the first stamp of the hobby season, first world-wide I think. Congrats [or is it commiseration?] on starting a new army, when you include the case that really is a good deal.

Just a personal preference, not a comment on the painting, its way better than anything I can do!<br /><br />YES! Another unfortunate soul tempted to the side of the Unforgiven! I started them all those years ago because I absolutely loved the colour schemes in the army and the look of the robed marines. I like to use them as sergeants to lead my squads as it makes them stand out and they just look great. Can wait to see how you tackle them with your great painting skills (I might even learn a thing or two in the process). <br /><br />I am hugely biased about the Ravenwing, so I would suggest adding more bikes. Sammael and the Black Knights are a good shout, you might want to consider a Darkshroud too, they really do kick ass in the new codex (nothing like 2+ re-rollable cover saves to make all your opponents hate you). Thanks for the shout out, always nice to see that your efforts are appreciated. <br />Mike (Didcot Wargames Club)https://www.blogger.com/profile/04136576868354842829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5766430862052117520.post-78401812708481780502015-09-01T19:29:32.768+01:002015-09-01T19:29:32.768+01:00Looking good Rob.

Still, if you can make progress like you have been doing you will qwhizz through the Dark Angels in no time. Good bargain as well. I have picked up quite a few deals from ebay for my DE over the last few years. I very rarely buy anything from new from GW nowadaysNafNafhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15788927908701998169noreply@blogger.com
