It’s been over 2 years since I last worked on this project. And with the new Dark Angels Supplement for 40k, I decided to revisit this army and paint up a few more Minis.

But in those 2 years a lot has changed. Colors had dried up. I at least tried to improve my edge highlighting. Contrast paints were invented. I bought an Airbrush. I moved, got a new job. What do you know…

So I decided to stay more or less true to the look of the army, but also try to improve on my older techniques. Here is what changed to instructions far below:

  • edge highlighting with the side of the brush and not the tip (why did nobody tell me that before)
  • much more diluted paints
  • OSL via the airbrush
  • replacing all the greens, reds, greys and browns with their new contrast paint counter parts
  • magnetizing a few weapon options here and there
  • buying a new can of dip
  • using a much larger brush for drybrushing
  • using some technical paints for lenses and lasersights

But. I am still a speed painter at heart. So I “only” spent a bit over an hour on each of these. Less than 6 hours for the entire squat (excluding some breaks to let the dip dry etc.)

I think the OSL is much smoother with the airbrush, but I am still learning (see those bubbles?)I think the OSL is much smoother with the airbrush, but I am still learning (see those bubbles?)
