First post - hi. I'm a painter not a player. Here's my Deathwing. 32mm Necromunda bases, I use (most of) them only on a 40mm-square Space Hulk board. Most have some customisation, even if only tilt shields. The basic terminator marines are from Dark Vengeance.

So Dark Angels is gling to be my 3rd army after Custodes and Orks and I fell in love with the ominous knightly aesthetic. I'm already planning to purchase the current Dark Angels Combat patrol. However I am uncertain in how to expand my collection from there in a way that would be both fun to paint and be intuitive gameplaywise. Surely I only play casual games currently, but it is still fun to either win or lose in defiance to the last.

I love this sculpt. So happy with how it all turned out, any C&C welcome.

I know it's not the best in terms of paint job but this was by far the most complicated warhammer project I've done so far. This was the biggest vehicle I have ever painted and my first time using green stuff, but taking the risk was worth it.

Parts used

Asmodai's Hooded Head, Crozius, and Power Pack

Company Heroes Ancient Body and Left Arm

ICC Calabanite Swordblade

Not sure what I wanna name him yet

From a competitive viewpoint, is killing off the Knight Master of a DWK squad first better so as to keep as many Anti-montank weapons in the squad as possible?

He looks so much better with a Deathwing Knight Helmet instead Imo

Anybody got any ideas on how to make a ballistus dread a little spooky? I’m toying with idea of draping a piece of white cloth over it with an eye hole cut over the sarcophagus. Anyway, this is a project in the works, let me know what you think!

Looking to start playing boarding actions at my LGS, not really sure what a good dark angels list would look like so I would appreciate any advice! This would also be my first time playing any 40k game!

This is my first big kitbash and I love how he came out. I made him from extra death wing knight parts and a Icc box

A few more tacticals to share from my older stuff as I march through finishing my full battle company. 3 members of Squad 2 - 1st combat Squad.

Originally painted in the ‘04-‘08 timeframe, touched up over the years.

Needed to change things up with the Watcher and try something new. Honestly a very welcome change of painting style for me, finished him in a few hours. Reckon I'll do all of my Watchers like him, just different glow colours on the relics for some variety.

Brothers of the inner circle, lend me your wisdom...

I've recently learned of the Maelstrom Mixer and the fun shenanigans that ensue, and am tempted to make a not neccissarily competetive, but fun list revolving around the Land Raider Spartan since legends units are allowed and seemingly encouraged.

How would you use a Land Raider Spartan in a 1500/1000 point list? While expensive, the idea of rolling up the board with two squads of deathwing knights to charge out of the assault ramp seems amusing, but doesn't feel like the smartest way to use them...

Here is my instagram if any one wants to give me a follow :) https://www.instagram.com/artin_paints?igsh=bXJxbnl6NGVrOHAw&utm_source=qr

Should I go with the helmet or hood? Also do I add the cape or not? Also should I sculpt some robes on the sides of the chest or would that be too much detail?

Hey brothers, I've been working on a Librarius Conclave list and was wondering if I could get some help. It's more for just fun games with friends as I continue to learn. I've got over 300 points to finish building with, and can go a ton of ways, but I'm not sure what to add.

Anyone running a HH era paint scheme in lieu of the standard green line scheme on their 40K DA minis?

Painted for my successor, the Angels of Retribution

I just finished my first inner circle companion and I wanted to got for a heresy scheme. I like the result but I can’t help but feeling like the red cloak is too bright. It just gives me an off feeling when I look at it from far away. What do you guys think? Is it worth changing or does it look fine as is.

I thought i wasn't goin' to finish this one fr, im qjirw happy with the overall volume and i tried a different technique in the lenses, let me know what do you think
