I needed to paint two angels and two demons for last week's game - these are essentially statues that animate during the course of the game and create chaos for the players. The angel models are conversions - I went to the local FLGS and bought two winged angel-types but after I got them home, decided I didn't like them. So I went back and got two more female fighter models and transplanted the wings from the original models onto them.
As the fighters had braided hair that would've prevented the wings from going on, I had to cut off the braids and do new hair with greenstuff. I think it turned out OK.
The poses of the fighters are great, aren't they! I think the outfits look suitably angelic too. The models were painted with acrylics, wings were drybrushed mostly but other bits basecoated and highlighted.
The demons came out of the box of shame - I've had these metal Khorne Bloodletters for donkey's years and they'd never seen paint. So I thought I'd drag 'em out and paint them for the Idols game.
Skin was painted Mephiston Red and highlighted with Evil Suns Scarlet. Brass is painted in with Brass Scorpion, the horns and claws are Mechanicus Standard Grey highlighted with Thunderhawk Blue.
The swords were painted a bit differently - taking a cue from some LotR models I painted in the last Challenge, I did these blades with a Corax White drybrush and a wash of Biel-Tan Green. I think they look pretty cool.
So in terms of points, that's five 28mm infantry for 25 points, plus 20 points for the B+W Studio. I'll use one of the female angels as fare for a trip in Sarah's limo - next stop, "Historical Drama" - the limo ride netting me an extra 20-point bonus. So that's 65 points total. See you at the next stop!
Absolutely love these, the angels are fantastic, great work
Great work Dallas. I continue to envy your skill with the "green stuff". And those Bloodletters are classic.
ReplyDeleteReally nice kitbashing on the angel.
ReplyDeleteExcellent work with those two angels, Dallas. They look fabulous. It's also wonderful to see some of those old Bloodletters - love the swords. I have a few of the super-old serpentine ones that I should take a crack at sometime.
ReplyDeleteThose original Bloodletters are indeed awesome models!
DeleteThe angels look great, and I alike the vibrant red of the demons, which goes very well with the swords. Great job!
ReplyDeleteReally nice conversions on those angels. The classic bloodletters look really cool.
ReplyDeleteNice work on these, Dallas! :)
ReplyDeleteAlthough somehow your minion has managed to publish your two posts in the wrong order (despite the other one having a clear "#2" in the title!).
Both are superb , I envy your greenstuff ability
ReplyDeleteGreat paint work on both, angels and demons

Those wings look fiddly!
ReplyDeleteThey look very nice, Dallas. I like seeing the vintage khorne demons too. Those swords came out really well!
ReplyDeleteLove those angels and really fine conversion work
ReplyDeleteI can't choose between the ANgels or the Bloodletters which to like best both are really good!
ReplyDeleteGreat work on those angels, Dallas.
