Ravenwing bikers

Painting is still going very slow but i did manage to finish these 3 Ravenwing bikers.

As usual i also made a HD video on my YouTube channel for you guys who also follow me there.

I had originally planned to finish a attackbike and a landspeeder  but i am having serious doubts of getting the landspeeder done  in time. 

I hope you and your families are all doing great! best wishes Ras

Some Dark Angels

Loosing your muse is not a great thing in this hobby and we all loose it from time to time. Finishing my AP degree in computer science, buying and moving into our new house contributed to this in some ways as well. I been trying to start up painting and putting together some models. It seems that putting together models won that contest lately, however i did finish my first tactical squad and a librarian before falling into the painting rut!

I been trying to start up on Dark Angels force again since its here my passion lies at the moment. I spent some money on some of the new models coming out with the new book and i hope to get my painting back to where it was 6 months ago.

Speaking of which, here is some videos of the models i made a few months back.

Anyway, this is me saying hey i am not dead, just struggling with my painting muse!

Rawenwing trio WIP

Been a while since i last posted. Been busy with my 2. semester exam project and i still need to defend it the 24th, however this gave me a bit of time to paint in and i managed to finish painting the sergeant.

 I made a power weapon for my sergeant that i magnetized, so i can switch between then as needed. I plan on magnetizing everything in my Dark Angels army since it will be a relative small model count(especially compared to my catachans!).

I still need to finish the bases. I will  go over the bases with some bleech bone before varnishing them to make em pop more. Then i need to varnish them before applying the static grass. Also i need to do some freehand squad markings on their right shoulders.

I also manged to put together a attack-bike and magnetize the weapon setup so i can switch between heavy-bolter or multi-melta. Al tho i think my attack-bikes will act as tank busters i still want the option.

First Ravenwing bike done

I still need to paint the driver for the bike and varnish + add abit of dead grass to it.

What do you guys think? I tried to keep the whole thing dark and subtle, like the whole hunting of the fallen theme.

Oh and i am thinking about weathering the tires red..

Ravenwing test model

Hi guys i just finished my first Ravenwing test model. I spend abit over 1 hour on this model so obviously the real models will receive much more love on details but the idea with colors and execution will still be the same.

Things to note

1. The crest was a royal pain in the ass to paint on these models(which thank god my Ravenwing wont carry bolters in front of their crest!) and the detailing on its paint job was VERY poor!

2. the blood red highlighting on the bolter was put on to strong in my opinion. I like my highlights less subtle, which was why i went with this kind of highlighting on black.

What do you guys think? Any tips or hints you don't like or stuff you do like, please let me know.
