I have an arbitrary goal of wanting to hit 52 minis of any given faction I am working on. With the Leviathan ones I ended up at exactly 51 Primaris Blood Angels so I grabbed this guy to hit my goal!
Actually surprised at how quick the highlights and details came together. I need to do some final checks and cleanup then the basing and I'm ready to call this big box finished.
With that, all the Leviathan characters are complete!
Fun to do Blood Angels in another color than red. Maybe I should do some Death Company to keep up the variety. I feel like I neglect the special BA units in favor of a BA themed army of normal Astartes units.
Final character from Leviathan is on the table. Trying something experimental and hit all the white armor with blue shade, then tomorrow I will bring it back to a blue-leaning white and hope to leave this as shadows. It worked on Sanguinary Guard wings once, but never tried a whole mini.
Last of the Leviathan squads finished up! I tried to get the veterans to a good step between the red and black for the basic guys and the excess of gold that the big characters get.
Using this month's free guy to test my assumptions for doing veteran Blood Angels. Base colors and shade applied quickly. All the brown will become gold eventually.
Nitpicking final details on the Infernus, starting the Strenguard, and the sisters I grabbed off the shelf while looking for a particular magenta because I suddenly thought they couldn't need that many colors.
Wrapped up my Terminators but I haven't sat down to take she photos yet. Picked up the momentum to start the second half of the Infernus and a pile of knives with a lieutenant hidden underneath. Base colors are down, metallics next. NMM or normal metallics on all that knives?
Almost at the end for these terminators. Bases need shade, highlight, details, rim, and Tyranid head. Then two faces and two power swords. Some heat damage on the assault cannon. Final touch ups and I'll call everyone here finished.
Grabbed these from my random second hand marines when the new versions were announced. I'll keep that color scheme for the new scouts when they drop (c'mon new Kill Team box). Looking forward to better jump pack poses.
Also, check out that scale creep between the old scout and the new captain!
Back to the Blood Angels after my #KingdomDeath diversion. Cracked open a fresh pot of Flesh Tearers Contrast for them. I hadn't realized how much more concentrated the old one had been at the end.
First guys from the Space Marine side of Leviathan completed. My Blood Angels paint schemes keep leaning more and more Flesh Tearers, but I think I like that.
Since they are up against Tyranids I thought Blood Angels would be appropriate. Took a lot of red to get them base coated but now I just need to fill in the rest.
