Dark Angels Eradicators - Part 1

 

Dark Angels Eradicators WIP

Greetings.  Continuing with my goal to paint all of the Indomitus boxed set marines by the end of 2020, I launched straight into the Eradicators after finishing off the Assault Intercessors.  I was in a green groove, so it just made sense to soldier on with these, the last squad of purely green marines in the boxed set.

I started by painting the chest eagles and weapons while things were not glued.  These push fit kits are really great for that since you can have have models assembled, but not glued, quite easily. The parts fits so snug, there is little worry about things falling off and getting lost.

As a side note, I'm going to be updating my paint recipes to account for Pro Acryl paints from Monument Hobbies as an alternative to many of the colors I commonly use. I've been trying some out and they are really fantastic.  Not only are many of the colors a great match, but the paints themselves go on so smoothly and with great coverage. All of the metals above are Pro Acryl colors, for example, as are the red, black, white, and ivory colors. Since everything is shaded, it's hard to tell the correct base color, but you can see these still match well after shading with Nuln Oil and Agrax Earthshade.

I've blocked in and shaded most of the base colors now.  I have some minor details yet to do, then it'll be on to the highlights.  Should be a quick squad to completed with only three models. And I need all the speed I can get to complete this set bed the end of the year.  I expect I'll get bogged down with the Veterans and characters...so...much...detail...

Hope every one is doing well and staying safe.

Cheers and Happy Gaming!

    1. Thanks! They'll do some work for Deathwatch, no doubt, if you can get 'em delivered on target.

    2. Easier to do thanks to the Teleportarium stratagem. Glad they kept that.
