Kitbashed Bladeguard Veterans - Dark Angels

The Risen Bladeguard Veterans of the Dark Angels are warriors who have been resurrected through arcane technologies after falling in battle. Their centuries of combat experience, combined with their mechanical precision after death, makes them formidable opponents on the battlefield. Clad in ornate Mk X Tacticus armor and wielding master-crafted power swords and storm shields, they fight with an unsettling combination of ancient martial skill and grim determination. Their lack of fear of death, having already experienced it once, makes them particularly terrifying adversaries who advance with cold, calculated purpose.

What a fun kitbash.

Sculpting

I've never used green stuff before this. It was an adventure to say the least. I'm glad I made the leap into sculpting. Below is a sacrificial Space Marine. This was my first stab at robes.

Feeling pretty confident, I moved onto building some Assault Intercessors and added robes to them. The Dark Angels insignia was made using a mold of a part in the Dark Angels upgrades sprue.

Painting

I was worried about the green stuff. I couldn't get my head around the green against the gray. Priming them really brought them together in a way that go "wow"!

Purple turned out to be another challenge.

Turns out pink highlights are better than a lighter desaturated purple.
