I watched this video when you first published it and was blown away. I love your take on the Deathwing in Gravis Armour. There is a certain "contemporary" feel to it, much like we see on today's two-tone, black and white (or off white) sports cars and sport utility vehicles. The contrast you've managed to create takes the traditional, "everyone does it this way" Deathwing scheme and punches new life into it. I love your scheme so much I am going to use it as the foundation (with some variance) for an Unforgiven, home-brew successor chapter. Thanks also for sharing how your painted the bone armor. Bone can be very tricky. It might be too yellow or two brown or even too pale. Your use of underpainting with white over Zandri Dust and then applying Vallejo Bone White to the white areas (much like a targeted glaze through an airbrush) is genius. I cannot wait to try it and master it. Thanks for your generosity in making this video and thank you for sharing your technique. Absolutely brilliant! It has earned you one more faithful subscriber. Cheers!
Hey and thanks for the comment. There is a lot to unpick note in what you say and I’m very excited you picked up on some of the more subtle points of inspiration. The original idea for the scheme of having a more tac ops inspired two tone theme with pull backs to the original GW scheme did infact come from a Nissan GTR show car I admired. I’m honoured you would base your scheme on the idea. I would love to see what you come up with. Also I would like to thank you for subscription it’s feedback like this that makes me keep going and keep trying to improve and diversify my content. I have some really exciting things in the pipeline and I’m looking forwards to sharing those on the channel in the coming month as I start to move in to my winter projects. Again thank you so much for the time you spent writing such a flattering comment. Kind regards W
This was SO rad. Really like your scheme. The link you posted seems to have died after these years, out of curiosity do you have anywhere else to find one for those gauntlets you printed? I'd be honored to use your paint scheme for my aggressors.
I'm sorry I've had a look to see if I still had the file but it seems I have lost it in the crash that took my old machine out. Thanks for your comments I'm sorry glad you like the scheme and sorry again I no longer have that model I made mate.
Absolutely beautiful, and sorry to be that guy, but Aggressors are part of a normal codex compliant fire support squad, not part of the Deathwing Terminator Exclusive (all members of the Deathwing are on terminator armour) 1st company. The 2nd company are the Ravenwing, and they wouldnt be there either as its a mobile force. (The dark angels are codex compliant in anything but 1st and 2nd squads which are the Deathwing and Ravenwing) (And kind of the inner circle but thats a bit separate from normal companies) They would be placed on the 3rd, 4th or 5th company which are all battleline codex compliant squads (you could NOT do the helmet for the seargent, but a little skull on the helmet only), the 9th reserve squad also has Aggresors on reserve. Ye ye, while specific squad numbering is just going too far, the only real thing tho is that the 1st company, the deathwing company has nothing but Space Marines on Terminators armour in it... :/ and as of latest codex, thats basically Deathwing Terminators, Deathwing Knights and Deathwing Veteran Bladeguards. They are perfect for Angels of Absolution tho ... (, succesor chapter, check them out)
I totally agree I am well versed in the DA lore. I've been a fan of them and SW since 2nd edition. However I've gone with my own head cannon and structure for my army based on my own version of pre-heresy like structure using bits of the Hexagramaton and bits from the new codex structure:) I don't actually play 40k at all either so it was just rule of cool making up some fun lore to to along with a fun paint scheme just because I like primaris models and love the aesthetic the Dark Angels. Much like my Raven wing are inverted green and black versions of this theme with the bone been black and the black green. One of the great things about this hobby you can take something you like and go in your own direction with it, working off the solid base Games workshop have given us. This actual colour scheme was one I came up with for the Angels of a primaris only Angels of Defiance DA successor chapter killteam (I don't like the divided in to quarters look) but thought since at the time the new terminators were not a thing repurposing the aggressors as terminator proxies for my regular DA's with a that scheme lead in to what I had written in my own home brew law. :) Thanks for the info though much appreciated:)
@@ForgeofSolus yeah i kind of felt like an ass writting it but nonetheless thought they would look so cool for Angels of Absolution (defiance as you correctly pointed out, have a different pattern), and felt that leaving that little piece of info of Deathwing being comprised exclusively of Terminatour armored space marines would be good to know for readers. (Hey, enjoy, its a luxury ONLY the Dark Angels can afford, having their entire 1st company made of Terminators)
@@ForgeofSolus As for the 30k pre heresy stuff... This would be great on the Ironwing, what do you think ? since these Primaris Aggresors are new to the fold...
Not to worry you're not the first and certainly doubt will be the last to 'correct' me but at least you have not given death sentence as someone else did because the green I paint mine is not how they felt the DA's should be portrayed. Water off a ducks back to me each to their own thoughts as I say I enjoy my hobby my way and empower others to do the same :) They could certainly work as Iron Wing as you say, perhaps customised more with heavier weaponry too and some customised redemptors perhaps. In my own take on the Hexagrammaton I replaced StormWing with the Resurrection Wing, hunters of the fallen that fell foul of chaos demons and acted similar to grey knights. I do enjoy my own divergent lore, mostly played out though the medium of Killteam. I'm still not sold on Primaris been inducted in to the chapter in the main GW narrative personally how they have chosen to do so I'm happy exploring my own variant of the Dark Angels that exists on the fringe of the imperium only loosely related to the main lore. Enjoy your hobby fella :)
