Okay, so because of my ever busy work/school/life schedule, the wife and I have been talking about her gaming with me again. A long time ago, she was the proud owner of a very large Dark Angels army that only ever saw the light of day on the garage gaming tables. Needless to say, after the store, that army went away, but here we are again, talking of resurrecting a Dark Angels army for her. Putting together a Deathwing/Ravenwing Strike Force list was pretty fun, and it will have very little in the way of model count, but will be bike/landspeeder/terminator heavy. To get the painting juices flowing on the army, I through together a little painting walk through for the Guardians of the Covenant Dark Angels Successor Chapter. Looking forward to Rich Van Meter's update. He is using my walk through for space wolves to lay down his base coats and will be bumping his models to level 2/3 soon!
Step 1
Boltgun metal (GW) base
Step 2
Repaint robes with Red Gore (GW), Chaos Black (GW) to the shoulder pads, Brassy Brass (VGC) to select icons
Step 3
Wash the entire model with Badab Black (GW)
Step 4
Pick out the belt ropes and other details in Jack Bone (P3)
Step 4
Wash the bone with Gryphonne Sepia (GW)
Using the principles I set out in my previous post - used a limited color palette and gouped my colors by what could be washed all at one time. Total paint time on these 5 models was about 10 minutes. So if I were block painting a unit of 10 Marines, I would have these done in probably less than 30 minutes

Mike, I really like the look of your Dark Angels. Never thought of them or saw them in a "Boltgun" base before. Really cool. I hope we can get a game in when I'm back in the Spring.
Look forward to it. Just let me know when!
