The Dark Angels Interemptors continue on a piece. Very close to complete now. Bases need painting, armor needs highlights, and the any decals need to be applied, though I won't need much on these guys with all their molded detail.
This week, I painted the plasma coils in the usual colors. I realized I cleaved to the box art for the plasma guns and forgot that I was originally painting black gun casing on my 30K Dark Angels. Well, who knows that the Dreadwing get up, eh? Perhaps I'll make that a thing so they stand out from portions of the army belonging to other wings.
Next I shaded the armor trim and the reds, then brought in some red highlights.
I also attempted to dot in some yellow over the eye lenses to brighten them up a bit...this appears to have provided some unintended OSL around the eye slits in the helmets. Bonus, I guess?
So that's where the squad is today. One or two more sessions to go, depending on how much time I get for the next session. I will probably put the Knights Cenobium on hold for now. I failed to consider the family vacation plans and I'll be away from the painting desk for all of next week...and the internet so no posts next week, either. So this project is likely to be my last for the 2019/2020 Hobby Season, at least I'll have one last week after vacation to complete it. I could roll into September with the Knights Cenobium, but I'm not ready to commit to that yet. Lots of other projects waiting for some love right now. I also plan to paint the HH Dark Angels Leviathan from Forge World for DreadTober 2020, so no need to paint HH Dark Angels for three months straight.
I hope everyone has good times next week as corona-summer draws to a close. Check back in two weeks to see if I push these Interemptors to completion.
Stay safe out there.
Cheers and Happy Gaming!
They look a nice addition to the force, love the moulded shoulderpad, a different look and it does save the hassle of a decal lol. Are these Plasma? They look like wide mouthed Volkite-Plasma hybrids, some fancy Dark Angel plasma mastery?
ReplyDeleteThe plasma weapons are called "plasma burners" and act like plasma flamers (12" S4 AP2 Assault D3+1*, Ignores Cover, Plasma Flame(reroll hit rolls during overwatch)). One model can have a plasma incinerator as well, but I passed as it was a Heavy weapon and didn't seem to pair well with the assault weapons. it increases range to 18" and adds a couple more shots. S/AP are the same. I'll be looking to see how things go when the new Black Book comes out with the Thramis Crusade.
DeleteI really like the OSL effect. We don't make mistakes we just have happy accidents!
ReplyDeleteCheers, for that!
