Change of Plans: Dark Vengeance Angry Marines

 I was not at all satisfied with my Consecrators. The color scheme was relied 100% on the same colors as my Angels Sanguine. Add to this, the fact that I have been dying to paint some yellow marines, and I reached the following conclusion:

My Dark Vengeance minis will become Angry Marines. I get to paint yellow base Marines, and they are full of fun and . . . ehemm . . . character??

Well, they are a bit silly, but silly is fun. When we see the coming Dark Angels codex, I will decide which Space Marine codex to use for them.

Dark Vengeance: Consecrators Tactical Marine WIP

A friend from the local gaming club and I split up a Dark Vengeance box. He plays Chaos, and I wanted those Marines.

I have begun work on the Marines from the box. Originally, I had the idea of removing the iconography and making them Angels Sanguine. After looking at the minis, I gave up on that idea. The three bikers are the exception here. The iconography was quite simple to remove from the bikes. So, they will be redeemed into my Angels Sanguine army.

As you can see from the photos, I didn't want to paint up some green Dark Angels. I have a bit of an affinity for successor chapters. So, I decided to try my hand at the Consecrators.

I realize that they have their own army badge, and I should technically have removed the Dark Angels markings. Well, I didn't. Nevertheless, I don't feel too bad about them having the markings as they are a successor chapter.

I decided to color their bases the same as my Angels Sanguine with the materials on the base being slightly different. This will tie them in when I use them as allies.
