Starting a DARK ANGELS Army | From Box to Battlefield

  • Dark Angels have always been the image that comes to my mind when I think of 40k but I've never really had them as an army. So with the Lion being released and my desire to practice sculpting robes I thought it was about time to make them.
    We'll be going through the entire process of creating an army, from bases, building, kitbashing, painting and decals!
    Bases: 01:00
    Kitbashing: 05:55
    Robes/Sculpting: 10:00
    Feathers: 16:15
    Painting: 17:30
    Plasma Glow: 27:20
    Leaves: 30:50
    Decals: 32:36

    Hey everyone! This video took me ages to make and you can see that by the length of the video. So I've added time stamps for some of the main sections.

    Please do more, Dark Angels was and is still the army of choice for me. I've been playing and painting them since they first came out can't wait to get my hands on all the new stuff coming out.🙏😇🇺🇸

    • @JamsMiniMods
      @JamsMiniMods  ปีที่แล้ว

      Yeah, all the new stuff will make great deathwing conversions

  • @Greg5560
    @Greg5560 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Doing marine joints used to be the thing I hated the most. Paint black,highlight grey,try not to get any on the armor. But now I love them, put down a layer of greyseer, then black contrast over the whole thing, couple seconds and it looks perfect

    • @JamsMiniMods
      @JamsMiniMods  ปีที่แล้ว

      I'll have to try that. But I sometimes find I have less control over contrast. Maybe I'm using too much 🤔

    Love Boarding Actions! The Dark Angels look great! Now you just need to put them up against your Space Wolves. :)

    These look great and I'm such a big fan of this style of video. Long format, covers a bit of the whole project. You managed to fit building, converting, basing and painting all in to one session. I know a lot of people avoid it due to the algorithm and viewing tendencies but it's really lovely to see the box to battlefield process.

    • @JamsMiniMods

    Haven't finished the video yet, but you mention you hate painting the rubbery material between the space marine joints. What I do is paint them light grey, without going all the way to the edge to make it easier and then use black templar contrast paint, this makes it very easy and they still look great

    • @JamsMiniMods
      @JamsMiniMods  ปีที่แล้ว

      I've used Black Templar before on lighter models before. But I never thought about painting it grey like that before. Thanks!

  • @PraetorGix
    @PraetorGix ปีที่แล้ว

    Great video! For part 2 you should add actual Deathwing and Ravenwing troops. You know, bikes and termies because no matter what BS GW spills primaris blade guard have no place in a proper first company. And maybe kitbash a Belial?

    • @JamsMiniMods
      @JamsMiniMods  ปีที่แล้ว

      It does feel weird having non terminators in Deathwing. If I did part 2 I'd definitely do more DW/RW.
