Looks like Command Squad will stay and not go to legends and it also went from leader to support interesting.

Hatte die Jungs letztens schonmal im Dark Angels subreddit gepostet aber keine Ahnung wer von euch unterwegs ist deswegen bin ich mal so dreist und post meine Jungs hier auch noch.

Grundidee war dass das Squad aus Risen besteht die der Lion zurück gebracht hat. Die Jungs haben den Rubicon überquert und brauchen dementsprechend natürlich neue Ausrüstung haben aber behalten von ihrem alten Kram was sie konnten.

Und wenn ich ehrlich bin war dass im Kern nur nen Vorwand die Jungs nen bisschen Fancy zu machen da die Base intercessors schon ziemlich langweilig sind :D

I constantly see People struggle how to approach the Deathwing color scheme and i always try to help so i had the Idea that i show you in a kinda small Tutorial how i do it. Of course this is probably not the only/best way just how i do it.

I know how hard to Paint those bright colors are so Always feel free to ask any questions iam Happy to Help :)

Also excuse me that i only have a Pic from another model for the Last step. Havent painted for a while and didn't have time to Finish the Last Armor step on that model and i Hope its still understandable.

I only use GW colors but that whole Thing should be easily usable with Other similar colors too. Its pretty much just a Workflow Thing.

1. Priming with wraithbone. Honestly every White/bright colors works but i prefer wraithbone over a pure White. Wraithbone gives you a really nice Finish without having to Deal with all the issue White primer usually have.

2. Ushabti Bone Basecoat. My Advice with Bone color/White is Always If you think its thinned enough use a Bit more water. Take your time and dont let Paint Pool somewhere.

3. Recess wash with Seraphim Sepia. I See a Lot People pretty much dunking Models into Seraphim Sepia or a similar colored wash. I personally dont Like the muddy Texture you get so i only do recesses shading. Also try to be as neat and Clean as possible you need to Clean Up all the spills after this step. Let it dry properly.

4. Now get Back with ushabti Bone and Clean Up all the spills and areas where you dont want the wash. This is probably the Most important step. Take your time and rather do 3-4 thin coats over the spills then slap on thick Paint. Also be careful Not get Paint Back in all the recesses you Just Shaded but with more practice and brush controll you will get a good Feeling for this.

5. Highlights with Screaming Skull. If you want to give your Armor a Bit more Oomph Highlight all the edges with screaming Skull. This step is not super neccessary but it will Look really nice from certain Angles. Most important Thing is readability on the model and with bright Armor this step is Not super neccessary.

Ah small Advice from me basecoat every Part on the Models as First step. A Lot Models have small Details you cant reach properly and there is a good Chance you will Paint over ypir cleaned Up armor parts on accident.

Overall its super easy if you have the Workflow down. Everything else is just practice. I Hope this helps anc reduced the struggle and helps improve your Motivation and joy painting Deathwing.

Honestly i Love that we as Dark Angels Players have 3 different color schemes so i never Had the Feeling i feel exhausted painting chapter colors

Funnily enough those feathers finally gave me a Better Idea to how approach those Type of Details also.
