The Horus Heresy: Age of Darkness Box to Battlefield - Painting a BLOOD ANGELS ARMY in 1 WEEK
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 24 дек 2024
- The seeds of heresy are sown… This week I received my copy of the Age of Darkness box, the new starter set for the Horus Heresy. This week I’m building and painting the first of the 2 armies I’m making from the box: my beloved Blood Angels.
Over the next few weeks I’ll be building, painting and playing games of the new Horus Heresy, and giving you a beginners look at the models, rules and lore of this epic battle of brothers to decide the fate of the galaxy.

I'm not splitting it with anyone. Since I've already got my Primarch, all of those models are going to nicely expand to my currently meager Raven Guard.
Voctoris Aut Mortus.
I'm planning on doing ten marines at a time then rewarding myself with a praetor or dreadnought / tabk
I can fully get behind this decision, doing 40 tacticals in a row was an experience... not one I'll probably repeat!
I always do the same just works so well
This is the exact method I use when i paint large hordes of any model. It also ensure that the quality stays top notch. I feel like people will skimp a bit on large groupings.
I definitely chuckled at the Censored black paint. Im giving a thumbs up and a Follow for that, Cheers!
Thanks for the thumbs up and follow! Glad to give you a chuckle :)
I think it’s a bunch of death company marines scrambling around loosing their minds haha 😂
I bought this for my 40k Space Marine Army because I have some lore for my custom, Gray Hussars, Chapter that collected a large collection of Horus Heresy Armor and equipment when they raided and Space Hulk and found several Legion vessels within the hulk. It is a convient work around that I made it so the Administratum barely gave my chapter enough wargear to populate a chapter and then the Emperor blessed them with relic armor of the ancient past.
I love that you painted without gloves. That's gangsta
Terminators are awesome, I especially like the lore with the dark angels deathwing squadron
Agreed, just such a cool silhouette! Glad I finally got to paint up some Cataphractii :)
I just got this recently and hoarding it all to myself to make some beautiful (hopefully) death guard 😃
Loved the vid mate keen to keep updated with the progress
Thanks so much! Been a blast to paint and film so far
@@hobbywitholi Hells Yeah
"Snakey Bois"! Approved!
This is awesome
Any 1,000 point lists from the box new to the heresy
So the box has about 1750 (ish) points depending on wargear! Plenty to choose from, what legion were you thinking of playing?
I’m coming to the party late, LoL
I’m going to be building & painting the whole box as Blood Angels, doing both Praetors in Gold Armour
Always welcome to the party! Particularly if you are a fellow Blood Angel :)
lol one thing I noticed, only because I did it myself on my spartan. Your laz guns were upside down.
I have a force each of Blood Angels, Sons of Horus, and Death Guard(my pandemic army, obvs.), and I will be using the new plastics to shore up gaps in each-- think Tactical Support and Heavy Support squads, since the Forge World resin VAT forced me to use extra special and heavy weapons from 40K and 30K plastic kits.
Papa Nurgle was no doubt pleased with his work in 2020...
Thats impressive.
Thank you very much glad you enjoyed!
Ace content mate, subbed.
Thanks very much!
I'll split the box with myself 😅 I want to paint them as iconic rivals. Not sure if Blood Angels vs. Sons of Horus, Space Wolves vs. Thousand Sons or Raven Guard vs. Alpha Legion though.
Ooh some good choices here, well got some Alpha Legion coming on the channel soon, see what you reckon 😀
You should do iron warrios vs. imperial fists.
Anyone know where I could get that big book he has in his background
I think from this weekend Games Workshop will be releasing the book standalone, so if recommend ordering it off a discount retailer like Element games if you're in the UK 😀
@@hobbywitholi I’m in the US do your know what store would carry the book for me
From a quick look around store.frontlinegaming.org/ might be a good bet!
I'm really curious to why you primed white but started with a dark base coat ? Surly it just negated the white
Looks sick though
Yeh you're right, looking back I think I had run out of black primer 😆 In my more recent blood angels for Legions Imperialis I start from a black prime which saves a lot of time!
Did you leave the outer doors of the sidehatches intentionally off? If yes, why? Planning on adding custom doors maybe? :)
Maybe... 😉 the thought crossed my mind definitely
How'd you deal with the mk6 shoulders in this? Did you just keep the giant gap in the middle of them?
So the gap was actually smaller than I was expecting, plastic glue covered most of it once they were squished together. Otherwise I reckon some sprue goo would probably be the best thing
So... you buy that box and the specific shoulders and heads of the legion u want to play??
So the heads and shoulders are definitely nice, but as they are pretty expensive what a lot of people do is buy a couple of packs of them to sprinkle through their army!
I am using the box set to rekindle my work on my Emperor's Children legion.
Yessss Emperors children! They were a close second when I was choosing my legion
because I love my Blood Angels most to the box went to them with conversions all around the Dreadnought went to my Iron Hands as part of my old Shattered Legions😅
Any follower of Sanguinius is most welcome here 😊
Daft question mate but how did you get your hands on Vallejo paint?
I bought a big paint set off Amazon actually! Otherwise retailers like elementgames sell them
Outstanding paint job 👍
Thanks a lot! Had a fair bit of practise on blood angels, bit nervous for Alpha legion this week...
I have this idea to start my own second army, specifically a force of Nurgle-corrupted Blood Angels from the Dornian Heresy
Thinking of using some Horus Heresy kits to kitbash my own take on Nurgle-corrupted Blood Angels, if anyone's got any suggestions on which kits I could use to kitbash my Dornian Heresy force, feel free to let me know
well done my guy, very fun vid....one question and one comment: whats your mix for shooting citadel paint? and you might wanna work on your seems joint....look up some armour modeling for tips regarding the building of larger vehicle.....keep it up my dude ,great stuff
So the mix is slightly different for each paint as some of them are stodgier than others. Generally I aim for the consistency of milk, and if I find the airbrush clogging I pour it out, run some cleaner through and dilute a bit more. On the joints, it's definitely something I could improve, but so long as the models go together and look good on the tabletop it isn't something that really bothers me. Thanks for your comment and glad you enjoyed!
@@hobbywitholi cool ,I approve of your attitude toward seems, you cheeky git, as for myself I shoot citadel paint about 10%unicorn tears,10% flow improver 50% tamiya x-20a and 30% paints....but your are quite right concerning their changing thickness trough the brand.
Looking great Dude! I always say that its a great day when my hands are covered in spray haha
You're not wrong, though I think I get a few raised eyebrows at work XD
@@hobbywitholi part and parcel with being an eccentric artist :D
I might just be being stupid, but why base coat the models white only to go over them with a dark red and then over that with a light red? Does the initial white make the dark red a more true colour than over the sprue coloured plastic? Genuinely curious
Good question! I used it because the white is a primer so sticks to the model better making the final paint job more durable. Also the colour does definitely change to look lighter over a light basecoat rather than a darker one, but it's pretty subtle, and I'm not a good enough painter too worry too much about that!
I'm going to try copying this.
Let us know how it goes!
looks good your lascannons are upside down though :P
So they are! Too much building, too little sleep! Good job they aren't glued on XD
never removed the mould lines also
Im splitting since also have 1 box of calth and 2 box of prospero lol
Pretty set for troops already then XD
@@hobbywitholi Yup 🤣
I had split my box between my Imperial Fists, and Emperors Children!
Ah Emperor's children were my next choice!
@@hobbywitholi Will be a minute before I paint or build mine, gotta finish my first first.
I wanted Ultramarines, Blood Angels, Death Guard, but all three enough people already play locally so I wanted to be more unique!
Nice video, made me want to buy an airbrush. What did you do with the dreadnaught?
So the dreadnought is getting painted up in this week's vid! Alpha Legion... Got my airbrush from my girlfriend for Christmas last year and can say it opens up soooo many new painting options.
That’s good going I just picked up the box myself and looking at what army I can do .dropped you a sub you’ll be on your way to 1k very soon
Splitting the box?? Oh h3ll no! I might get a second box.
Double spartan mega armour force incoming XD
@@hobbywitholi you better believe it. 😁
Iron within, Iron without!
@@dekai7992Death Guard for life.
The entire box in a week? I barely have a night lords tactical squad and both praetors finished after two weeks
So it actually took me 2 weeks to paint the box as I was splitting it into 2 armies! Sounds like you're making great progress though!
HERESY DETECTED!
Inquisitor!!!
Call the exterminatus!
i use the box to expand my wolrd eaters legion
Awesome, love the heresy era world waters scheme!
@@hobbywitholi making only with contrast and scale75 metallics
It’s mine. All mine.
Excellent! What legion are they getting painted up as?
Yup those tactical squads are a pain in the bottom to build the mk4 and mk3 are alot easier to build .
Yeh why shoulder pads in 2 parts... just whyyyy
Your Lascannons are upside down
Spliting with Myself
Because I'm a selfish, selfish bastard who loves grim dark marine stuff and hates himself slightly, I'm hogging the whole box for myself and doing Raven Guard, partly because my peers were reminiscing about 7th edition and partly as a way to bulk up my existing 40k Raven Guard army without drowning too much in Primaris (I mean, the Spartan, Contemptor and 10 man Tactical Squads of all armour marks got a 40k data sheet).
You make a valid point, can't wait to have my spartan blown off the table turn 1 in 40k XD
@@hobbywitholi More true with those duplicitous Tau players and their railgun battle suit shenanigans.
I was thinking the old 2nd edition colour schemem....
Bright red and yellow does seem pretty dope...
Paint the tracks and tank hull serperatley ....a lot easier.
I did! Though should have drybrushed them off the tank too... got a bit too excited to have it built XD
@@hobbywitholi Calm down next time !
aaaaaahhhh no gloves!!! Nice job though...great video...
Thanks so much, having a lot of fun with this box 😀
Base salamanders
No 1s No 2s (childish giggle)
Hi I’m 100
New MK3 are such a disappointment. I really wish I had grabbed the old ones.
Great video but you have a ton of echo where you’re recording. Also using the box as a jump point for 3 different legions 🫠
Cheers for the feedback (no pun intended!). I usually record on a condenser mic but this time the footage somehow got deleted 🤔 so had to make do with the phone audio which isnt great. Normal service should resume next week!
Also 3 different legions! What's getting the most reinforcements?
@@hobbywitholi vehicles, terminators and dread are going to the Iron Warriors, 20 tactical each to Night Lords and White Scars. Haven’t decided on the praetors yet
