Dark Vengeance: Angry Marines Terminators

The blog posts have been few and far between. For that, I apologize. I have been very busy at work and sick. Beyond that, I am now planning the logistics of relocating my family from Italy back to the United States.

I have had these Terminators sitting on my desk for a long time at the yellow base coat stage. So, I decided to throw a couple of hours of speed painting on them to finish them.

Here you go . . . 5 Angry Marines Tactical Terminators.

Always angry! All the time!

Dark Vengeance Marines WIP: Angels Sanguine Bikes

I am making a little progress on the Dark Vengeance Bikes. I have removed all Dark Angels Iconography, and they are joining the Angels Sanguine.

I will add them to my lone Attack Bike to make my first Angels Sanguine Bike Squad!

For the Emperor! Death to all who oppose us!

Dark Vengeance WIP: Angry Marines Tactical Squad

The Tactical Squad is nearing completion. I must pick out a few legs in the squad and try painting: "Your Face Here."

Beyond that, I need to finish up the Sergeant's base.

Overall, the Angry Marine project is proving to be fun. I will stick this tactical squad in an Angels Sanguine army this weekend and see what the reaction is at the local club.

On the Painting Table: Dark Vengeance Marines

I have Dark Vengeance Marines on my painting table.

I am drawing closer to finishing the Tactical Squad. They are the first installment in my new Angry Marines army. They will begin as only a small force to be used as allies with my Angels Sanguine. This will include the Tactical Squad, Terminators, and HQs from Dark Vengeance.

However, you can see that I have chosen a different route for the bikes from Dark Vengeance. They are becoming Angels Sanguine outright. I will add them together with my Attack Bike to make my first full bike squad for the army.

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.
