Finished painting my first dreadwing soldier and took some decent photos. I'm really happy with the result, especially the four-legged fish which is such a cute addition! It makes me feel like this space marine escaped the pages of a long-lost codex.

The OG miniature is a Plague Marine, converted with a (at least) 20 years old space marine head, a metal backpack from the old Fallen kit, the four legged fish from Age of Sigmar, some bretonnian bits, and a shield from I don't even know where I got it from.

Happy scrolling!

Dark Angel, pre-heresy Dreadwing soldier carrying an icon inspired by the Deësis mosaic of Hagia Sophia.

I was inspired by Little Legend Studio's work on his Blood Angels fresco and it got me thinking about marines' art. If the Blood Angels are more gothic, the Dark Angels being the first Legion could go into Eastern Christianity, the first churches that sprouted around the Middle East in the first few centuries A.D. I decided to go for a mural rather than a mosaic, with brown tones that I gathered from murals around the world.
