Death Wing
3: Starting the Death Wing.
For the model themselves I built them up with mix of the normal terminator parts and the ones for the knights. After all they are supposed to be command squad. I’ve magnetised several of the arms and I’ve also added a few bits from the Dark Angels upgrade spur to give a little bit more character to a few of the models before they are primed using Vallejo black surface primer and then gave them a zenith highlight with Vallejo grey surface primer.
I decided to try and do the bone white for the armour using the airbrush and to do this I used Vallejo desert yellow and held the model upside down and sprayed this on to all of the black areas. Then with everything the right way round I used Vallejo bleached bone letting the airbrush try and blend with the desert yellow. I then used Vallejo ivory shooting down and stepper angle to be a final highlight.
For the tabards / cowls I used a combination of Scale 75 dark forest and Vallejo NATO black. I’ve struggled to get this smooth so far so there’s a lot more work needed here. I’ve also made a start of some of the details for the arms but a long way to get yet.
Nice start, I look forward to seeing the completed set.
