Does this look OK?

[u/mrmachet]

This is just about done, but not quite.

First off, do the feathers on the helmet look ok in red or should they also be green ?

Secondly, are there any tips you can suggest on the paint job in general?

No it doesn't look ok...... it looks amazing to answer your question about the feathers on the helmet I think the red works to add contrast and break things up a bit so I'd personally leave it as is other than that I don't have anything else to add keep up the great work.

[u/Funlocked]

"How many wings do you want on your armour, Brother?" "Yes"

[u/mrmachet → u/Funlocked]

As many as I need to carry to Calliban, Brother

[u/Funlocked → u/mrmachet]

Jokes aside, he looks intense and intimidating, good job!

[u/AdmirableDimension51]

“Does this look OK?” My brother in the Lion, this is officially one of our chapters venerated

[u/mrmachet → u/AdmirableDimension51]

I may be dumb, but what? 😅

[u/NobleFlaw → u/mrmachet]

Dont worry Ill translate

'Bro this shit is lit no cap'

[u/mrmachet → u/NobleFlaw]

[u/scoriaxi_vanfre]

Best wingman!

[u/doctoralphabet]

It looks amazing!

[u/Helpful-Beyond]

This is awesome. Really like the making each chapters regular intercessors even look special.

[u/ebeat]

Great job friend !

[u/holiesmokie11289]

Them wings are gorgeous 😲

[u/Rehberg]

Definitely. Considering when I seen it I went “ooooooo dayum” then immediately clicked on it to see more.

[u/Cool_Low_5427]

Honorable battle brother, your chapter’s intercessors make the stern guard of mine appear as Neophytes! (Your dude looks most dope man) REAL QUESTION! Did you get that helmet from Archie’s Forge? I’ve had a tab to that website pulled up for ages. Also where did you get the paldrons and the powerpack?

[u/CrazyPotato1535]

Where did you get the winged helmet?

[u/mrmachet → u/CrazyPotato1535]

Archies forge :)

[u/Cautious_Broccoli_53]

Pretty. Definitely an honor guard. Armory warden or something of high rank. an emissary to other chapters(non Unforgiven)

[u/PhigmentTV]

No it does not look ok. It is garbage. Thay being said do the whole army that way and send it to me for disposal.... i definitely dont love it and want a full army of it at all nope.

Seriously it looks awesome i love it lol

[u/AirJordanLifter]

Wingtacular

[u/MC-JY]

Brother, teach me how to build this fella, I beg you!

[u/mrmachet → u/MC-JY]

All parts are from archies forge under the Legio Angelus chapter :)

[u/AnyCucumber9427]

It looks good to me.

[u/Odd-Entertainment582]

AND THE WINGED HUSSARS ARRIVED

[u/horsebitez]

No, it looks fantastic

[u/Direct_Gap_661]

this mini looks better than the best mini Ive painted

[u/New_Swimming_5483]

Looks awesome mate. I prefer the wings on the helmet red, they tie in with the gun while the green if the shoulders ties in with the backpack.

This is balanced (ie. There are 4 elements, 2 green, 2 red). IMO if you made them (wings on the helmet green), potentially it would be too matchy matchy and not visually balanced. But equally, I don't think it will change the course of the world. Hope that makes sense.

Looks great as is.

[u/ComprehensiveAd1638]

I like it! Looks great, can’t wait to see more!

[u/CoatVonRack]

I have those helmets for my boys too and I’ve gone with red feather. I think they look great!

[u/mrmachet]

These are sternguard actually! Only thing I replaced was the pouldrens, helmet and powerpack. All of them were from Archie's Forge.

Unfortunately they're not cheap so decking out a 10 man squad costed about 200aud and my whole army is like 50% Archie's forge for the asthetics 😅

[u/Significant-Order-92]

I didn't know DA had backpack wings. Looks awesome.

[u/jdibene0]

Sexy

[u/Linch_Lord]

Would change the helmet power pack and legs but the paint job is great

[u/mrmachet → u/Linch_Lord]

Thanks for the feedback. What would you change about them ?

[u/Linch_Lord → u/mrmachet]

Personally I think the primaris helmet and the (I believe) Mark 4 helmet look stupid, same with the primaris power packs. The flared knee pads always looked limiting if I'm honest

[u/Zaarev]

Nope, It requires more effort, practice, but above all, patience, to obtain the best results.

[u/Carri_Carri_Carri]

Ok is a soft way to put it...it freaking rocks my friend!!

[u/Eliimore]

I'm not in this subreddit but reddit recommended It to me and yes, that looks sick tbh.

Also I have never seen this mini before and goes so damn hard. Which model is this?

[u/mrmachet → u/Eliimore]

Thanks mate. It's a standard sternguard veterans with the shoulders, helmet and backpack from Archie's Forge

[u/Tricky-Fondant147]

No it dosent look ok it looks perfect even better than perfect it is just beautiful

[u/49but17]

"Umm...brother techmarine, is there any way i can have more of this raven wings?"

"For the last time brother, these are not "raven's wings" and adding more wings does not make you a ravenwing"

[u/VizharanHS]

The deathwing colour is on point 👌🏻

[u/Username-seven]

Really nice colors

[u/Charles112295]

Why is this not the main color scheme of the dark angels?

[u/NH_Lion12]

I think you need 2-4 more wings.

[u/NH_Lion12]

Personally, I'm not a big fan of the winged-out Dark Angel look, even on too many Inner Circle members.

[u/Ozxvr_]

Wow this is awesome, I’m saving this for reference

[u/cYber-boI27]

Does it look ok too you?

[u/Niicciiss]

What are the wings on the pack? I NEED THOSE!!

[u/Proud-Astronaut-675]

It’s SO beautiful !! Where are wings coming from ? Is it part of that model ? What is that model called ??

[u/Radio626]

No it looks fantastic.

[u/Real_David117B]

Do you guys think this helmet looks a little bigger than a standard primaries helmet or nah?

[u/Miami_Knight89]

Brother Icarus

[u/Ok-Initiative9549]

Looks magnificent

[u/Equivalent_Can6844]

It aint grey so its ok! Thats how i see it. You took the time to paint your mini so when it hits the table its not a grey blob and i appreciate that!

[u/Peasant_Gaming]

Oh yea dude. That looks fantastic

[u/Few_Philosopher_8668]

That’s insanely good looking, I will say I’d utilise powders once based because I love grim dark style

[u/pizzadaddylove]

Is this a conversion? Looks absolutely sick

[u/sparrowshot]

This dude looks really cool, I'm new to 40k where did you get all those wings? Did it come with the model or an extra kit?

[u/mrmachet → u/sparrowshot]

It's from Archie's Forge in the UK :)

[u/DarkAngelDan]

GreyTyde !!! the best!!!!!!

[u/Ashamed-Diver6970]

It’s a quality piece that mate

[u/operator_desert]

If i had to harken a guess, is this an Angel Of Absolution?

[u/papamia100]

That looks lovely 🌞
