Starting a DARK ANGELS Army | From Box to Battlefield
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 сен 2024
- Dark Angels have always been the image that comes to my mind when I think of 40k but I've never really had them as an army. So with the Lion being released and my desire to practice sculpting robes I thought it was about time to make them.
We'll be going through the entire process of creating an army, from bases, building, kitbashing, painting and decals!
Bases: 01:00
Kitbashing: 05:55
Robes/Sculpting: 10:00
Feathers: 16:15
Painting: 17:30
Plasma Glow: 27:20
Leaves: 30:50
Decals: 32:36

Hey everyone! This video took me ages to make and you can see that by the length of the video. So I've added time stamps for some of the main sections.
Bases: 01:00
Kitbashing: 05:55
Robes/Sculpting: 10:00
Feathers: 16:15
Painting: 17:30
Plasma Glow: 27:20
Leaves: 30:50
Decals: 32:36
Time is but a mere mortal measurement of change. Without change, there is no time. All is dust.
@@joabthejavelin5119 So you've returned.. Time to get the vacuum out!
Doing marine joints used to be the thing I hated the most. Paint black,highlight grey,try not to get any on the armor. But now I love them, put down a layer of greyseer, then black contrast over the whole thing, couple seconds and it looks perfect
I'll have to try that. But I sometimes find I have less control over contrast. Maybe I'm using too much 🤔
Great vid my man. Totally worth the effort you put in. Now time to build more Dark Angels. Long live the Lion.
Haha thanks man.. need the new terminators first!
More dark angels please 😍
Would be my pleasure!
Feel like we're only a video or two away from Jam building a whole marine from scratch with green stuff
awesome work, man!
Haha thank you. That would make a pretty fun video
Absolutely love those bases.
I was looking for some inspiration on how to spice up my Lion’s Guard and I’m glad I found this!
That's great to hear!
Please do more, Dark Angels was and is still the army of choice for me. I've been playing and painting them since they first came out can't wait to get my hands on all the new stuff coming out.🙏😇🇺🇸
Yeah, all the new stuff will make great deathwing conversions
That chaplain is outstanding!!
Thank you! 🤟
Chaplain is simply stunning....awesome job mate!
Thank you! I really appreciate it. 🤟
These look great. Green stuff in particular looks top notch
Thank you, appreciate it!
Love Boarding Actions! The Dark Angels look great! Now you just need to put them up against your Space Wolves. :)
I haven't had a game of boarding actions but it seems like the perfect game for me. Thank you! They are the perfect match up haha
These models look fantastic. The basing is really top notch too. I already have a Deathwing army but this is inspiring me to expand out to the greenwing.
Thank you! To be fair, Deathwing is the best wing haha
Just got what looks like the same leaves today. As soon as I read 'Lion of the Forest' I was sold but hadn't tried it yet, it's a great lore tie in. Thanks for the tips!
Glad it could help! 🤟
Just starting my own DA army after a long hiatus from 40k and this has been inspiring, also that Chaplin came out amazing really great stuff! Got a sub from me.
Thanks James, really good to hear! And welcome back to the game. Feel free to share your work once you get started!
Yeah man I’d love to see an extended army video, maybe get a dreadnaught or something in there, a deeper dive into the painting would be awesome as well. Good stuff man
Yeah, I'd love to do DA themed Dread, would he awesome. I'll see if I can add more on!
Awesome work. I love how the sculpted cloth looks!
Thank you!
Haven't finished the video yet, but you mention you hate painting the rubbery material between the space marine joints. What I do is paint them light grey, without going all the way to the edge to make it easier and then use black templar contrast paint, this makes it very easy and they still look great
I've used Black Templar before on lighter models before. But I never thought about painting it grey like that before. Thanks!
Which grey do you use?
drybrush based plasma glow is a novel technique, I look forward to trying it on cases where I am only painting one plasma guy
It's definitely one of the quickest ways to get it done.
These look great and I'm such a big fan of this style of video. Long format, covers a bit of the whole project. You managed to fit building, converting, basing and painting all in to one session. I know a lot of people avoid it due to the algorithm and viewing tendencies but it's really lovely to see the box to battlefield process.
That's great to hear, thank you! It always feels a bit risky making long videos like this, but I enjoy making them.
I like this. It's a get the job done video but still shows you can have a great standard not need to spend 10 hours per model.
Thanks Steve. That's great to hear!
I would love to see some vehicles converted for some specific chapter, especially so ornamental such as dark angels!
Some ravenwing speeders and outriders would definitely be next on my list!
Would love to see different 500 point army paints. This was awesome!
Thank you.. I actually have a half done video of a different 500pt army I need to finish at some point. I'd love to do loads of these.
This was awesome but you are crazy, individual leaf application, madness. It was really cool though and you have an awesome DA army now.
Haha thank you! No wonder it took me so long to get done 😅
really cool video mate!
it actually made me want to subscribe. Cheers!
Thank you, much appreciated!
Great video! For part 2 you should add actual Deathwing and Ravenwing troops. You know, bikes and termies because no matter what BS GW spills primaris blade guard have no place in a proper first company. And maybe kitbash a Belial?
It does feel weird having non terminators in Deathwing. If I did part 2 I'd definitely do more DW/RW.
Great looking interrogator chaplain!
Thanks Andrew!
They look awesone even if they are primaris csm
Best of both worlds haha
Great models and paint job!! Way beyond battlefield ready!
Thanks Karl!
Could you do an in-depth guide to make the green stuff and miliput cloak like you did on the intererogator chaplain ?
I really like how they turned out and I want to do that on mine 😄
Sure.. I've got all the footage. But I might do something new because I've learnt a lot doing this one.
Glad to see you back!
Thanks.. this video took up all my free time for awhile. But I'm not going anywhere haha
@@JamsMiniMods Glad to hear you aren't going anywhere!
Really great video man!
Love me some dark angels!
Thanks James, appreciate it!
Brilliant video, thanks for showing us the build and painting.
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it!
Please expand. Perfect timing for dark angels. 😂
I'd love to do some more right now haha
Awesome! Really clean work, i prefer the yellow plants in the bases, i think they make the green of the miniatures stand more. Those shields look amazing :O
Thank you! 🤟
So beautiful
Thank you!
Looks pretty good, great start :D
Thanks Ashley!
Really awesome job mate 🇦🇺👍🏻
Much appreciated, Chris!
Amazing work brother!
Thank you, appreciate it!
I'd definitely watch an expansion effort.
Thanks.. I think I might do it when Leviathan drops!
Supercool project, really fun to see your custom work! I had a lot of fun customising my chaplain as well, I'm currently thinking about doing a custom lieutenant with cloth and the like.
Thanks Christian! Chaplains are always fun to do. But I have some cool ideas I'd also like to do for a lieutenant.
glad you did this my friend, been wondering what was going to be new to watch
Thanks Matt! 🤟
Hey great video! I'd definatly like to see an expansion done on this army! To 1k at least!
Thanks.. I can definitely so some more Deathwing in my future.
Looks great man!
Appreciate it, Lewis!
Great work!
Thanks Jamie!
Great job, my man. They look great. 👍🏻
Thanks as always Paulo!
cool project!
Thanks!
Awesome Video
Thank you!
Good video 🤌
Thanks Charlie!
Great vid mate
Thanks Tom!
Great!
Thanks 🤟
these look amazing
Thank you! 🤟
Mega army eventually
I'm hoping so!
Aha, you can't make Space Wolves without wanting to make some Dark Angels to fight. :p
They need someone to challenge, right? Haha
super awesome dark angels army man
hey quick question did you decide not to go with the dark angel eagle skull head staff that you made? I thought it was a cool idea
Thanks Dominic!
I'm not sure which staff you mean? The crozius on the chaplain? I did use the one I made in this video.
Great video, but me as a beginner who wants tk start dark angels is a little overwhelmed with the greenstuff things😅
Thank you!
Yeah, it can all be very intimidating when you start off. I will probably do a dedicated video about sculpting cloth at some point. Might be easier to follow
I think those Dark Angles really shine excellent video real eye candy as their always pushed to the back in forty k. Now their Primarch is back kicking ass they should get some great new models and the Primaris Chapters should get something in White Dwarf ! 🇺🇦🤜🤛🏴🏴🏴👍victorys to the freedom fighters of Ukraine!
Thanks James!
I'm hoping that they will get some new models when their codex comes out.
I know you said it but I can't find it, what kit is that awesome Chaplin backpack from?
It was one of the older first born marines. I don't think GW sells it anymore. Ebay would be your best bet.
Are these Fallen Risen or just standard Dark Angel's.
Just standard Dark Angels
pls expend it
I'll give it a shot!
