Not Angels but painting practice.

Just to get used to painting and improve my techniques, i thought rather than trying it on my army, i'd try it on some other models i had given to me as a gift by the lovely girlfriend. When i started i couldn't decide between Orks or Ultramarines, so she got me a bit of both, a box of Ork Boyz and Marneus Calgar. When the Blood Angel Codex came out, that threw those ideas out the window. I painted them anyway and think they came out ok. The cloak of Marneus looks cool but doesn't look so good on the photograph. I couldn't seem to catch it right (and i'm a photographer!! i quit!! haha). I just painted the Nob of the boyz but Orks are very cool and fun to paint

I'm currently painting a 5 man Death Company Squad. They should be done soon so i'll get a picture up as soon as they're done.

Update

Sorry for the lack of updates guys. I've been painting a lot and haven't had the time to post any pics. I also painted a couple other figures which were given to me as a gift, i'll get those pics up tonight after work.

Went to my local gaming club last week, nice group of people. Should be getting my first game on wednesday. Just wish my army was finished/painted. Looks like the army's i'll be fighting will be either SM, Eldar or Orks. Looking forward to it.

Hope you all are well

Built Sanguinary Guard

Good god these fellers took ages to build! They look awesome though, its worth the trouble (even the trouble with the wings, they sucked to put on!). The detail is fantastic, really looking forward to painting them.

Work Station

Still to Paint

Just thought id add a list of things i still need to get painted.

Commander Dante
Astorath The Grim
5x Terminator Assault Squad
5x Sanguinary Guard
5x Death Company (which looks awesome, really nice details)
5x Scout Squad
2x Rhino
1x Predator
1x Drop Pod (for a Death Company Dreadnought which i still need to buy)

Still a lot to do but im getting there. Ill start creating lists after that for different point match's.

2 10 man tactical squads

Finally finished these guys. Was getting very tired doing these, just got very repetitive. The first squad looks ok but the second i got a bit sloppy as you can see by the boltguns. Didn't bother with the details just went for boltgun metal then a wash. Looking forward to painting some HQ's now as its just the one model and can spend more time on them.

Assault Squad

Finished these boys. 5 man assault squad with power weapon and combat shield. Just went out and got a five man death company squad which should be fun to paint. Thinking i might spray them black, then instead of highlighting the armor with grey i might dry brush boltgun metal, which i hope will highlight and give a well used/battered look.

I no the helmets should be yellow but i'm not feeling that look, prefer it red.
