Community Spotlight: Clones, Lannisters & Knightly Dark Angels
May 19, 2021 by brennon
Come and join us for another delve into the Projects to find the best of the best from the last week or so. We're going to be getting stuck into lots of great looking miniature wargaming painting and hobbying this week...
...make sure to always let us know what YOU have been working on and share it across the site.
Star Wars Clones by fourtytwo
We start off this week with some rather apt creations from fourtytwo. They have sat down and painted up a bunch of Clones from the world of Star Wars and they are looking very nice indeed.
Rex has been finished for a little while but I have to say, the way this chap has come together is brilliant. I like the white armour with that almost grey tinge and the pattern work on the helmet. All the details have been picked out nicely too and it works well with the grey base.
The same goes for the full team of Clones that you see here. All of these are based on characters from the Clone Wars TV show!
From left to right you've got Clone Medic Kix, Clone Captain Rex, Clone Trooper Tup, Clone Trooper Jesse, Clone Sergeant Appo, Clone Trooper Dogma, Heavy Clone Trooper Hardcase. It's awesome to see these characters coming to the tabletop and I like the fourtytwo took the time to try and get each of them to match their cartoon counterpart.
You''ll notice that Jesse even has the Republic symbol marked on his helmet. That would have taken some careful brushwork to get right. An awesome team and maybe we'll see fourtytwo's talent put to painting up some of the Bad Batch in the future. Atomic Mass must surely be thinking about releasing them soon!
A Song Of Ice & Fire Lannisters by artemis5150
Next up we're going from one big franchise to another. Here is some of the finished work on the Lannisters from A Song Of Ice & Fire.
The thing that impressed me here was the attention to detail once again. Each of the characters has been painted up in superb fashion and lots of attention has been paid to the details. The faces are picked out wonderfully and I like the subtle changes in texture and colour throughout. Cersei's dress in particular is looking stunning.
This level of quality carries over into the regular rank and file troops too.
These Lannister soldiers look fantastic and once again there is a lot of detail worked into their arms and armour. The deep red and gold work so nicely together and you can't deny that the Lannisters have a great looking army for the tabletop. Shame that they are all awful people really!
Things have come together very nicely for this army so far and if you'd like to see more images of the characters then you can check out the project link above.
Dark Angels Deathwing Knights by bothi
We finish off this week's Community Spotlight with bothi who is still working away on that impressive Dark Angels army. This time around the Deathwing Knights saw an outing, ready and willing to hunt down The Fallen.
The thing that struck me with these miniatures was the choice of colours on display. The bone coloured armour is pretty standard for the Deathwing but I thought the choice of bright green here really set these Terminators apart from other Dark Angels I've seen. Don't get me wrong, I like the darker tones, but I think the bright green really helps them stand out.
I guess you could say that the bright green is a very brave highlight. It runs the risk of making things look a little toy-like but I think in this case, bothi has been able to nail the look. Each of the Terminators looks absolutely badass and I think the basing material really helps to compliment the miniatures as a whole.
If you can't get enough Dark Angels then I would suggest heading on over to the project linked above as there are plenty more where they came from!

Fantastic work, chaps!
Great work.
Some nice quality paint jobs this time around.
Congrats @artemis5150 and @bothi – and thank you to the team @ OTT. 🙂
Thanks @all and @fourtytwo. And congrats to you and @artemis5150. And thanks @brennon for the award. Yes the green is quite bold. But just before restarting the project I heared in a video from ninjon on youtube that everybody should try to increase their contrast and be bold with it. So this is me trying to increase the contrast. I actually think that I’m at most an slightly above average painter (this is the award speaking 🙂 I don’t think I’m above the average). I have pretty gross sensory motor skills and struggle a lot with brush control (as you… Read more »
Great work from everyone, those clones look fantastic fourtytwo.
Thanks for another button guys. It’s always appreciated when you show off one of my projects ?
Big update on the project now too. Finally got around to getting better photos of the full collection ?
@bothi Well done to the other guys too. Love the Dark Angels. Deathwing knights are a favourite.
@fourtytwo Those Clone Troopers…… ? So crisp and the markings so well done.
