Starting a DARK ANGELS Army | From Box to Battlefield

Ойындар

Dark Angels have always been the image that comes to my mind when I think of 40k but I've never really had them as an army. So with the Lion being released and my desire to practice sculpting robes I thought it was about time to make them.
We'll be going through the entire process of creating an army, from bases, building, kitbashing, painting and decals!
Bases: 01:00
Kitbashing: 05:55
Robes/Sculpting: 10:00
Feathers: 16:15
Painting: 17:30
Plasma Glow: 27:20
Leaves: 30:50
Decals: 32:36

    Hey everyone! This video took me ages to make and you can see that by the length of the video. So I've added time stamps for some of the main sections. Bases: 01:00 Kitbashing: 05:55 Robes/Sculpting: 10:00 Feathers: 16:15 Painting: 17:30 Plasma Glow: 27:20 Leaves: 30:50 Decals: 32:36

    Doing marine joints used to be the thing I hated the most. Paint black,highlight grey,try not to get any on the armor. But now I love them, put down a layer of greyseer, then black contrast over the whole thing, couple seconds and it looks perfect

    These look great and I'm such a big fan of this style of video. Long format, covers a bit of the whole project. You managed to fit building, converting, basing and painting all in to one session. I know a lot of people avoid it due to the algorithm and viewing tendencies but it's really lovely to see the box to battlefield process.

    Haven't finished the video yet, but you mention you hate painting the rubbery material between the space marine joints. What I do is paint them light grey, without going all the way to the edge to make it easier and then use black templar contrast paint, this makes it very easy and they still look great
