Ravenguard Attack Bike and Bladeguard

With the return of the Lion it was time to swing back into finishing my Dark Angels.

First up was an attack bike with heavy bolter and two Bladeguard.

All three minis used a leadbelcher undercoat.

The attack bike was then covered with a black speed paint with highlights using grey and white.  This was my first attempt so have a few lessons learnt for the next bikes I have in the pile of shame.



I tried weathering effects for the first time that are not really visible in these pics.


The most important lesson is to get a decent dull coat to tone down the shiny armour. 

Overall I am happy with the finish but when I have time I will need to do some extra work on the head of the marine without a helmet.

Next up are my first Bladeguard.  I want all of these bros to be unique so used various parts from the primaris upgrade and eliminators sprues.

The white power armour is a combination of bone and white Vallejo paints with a watered down flesh wash and more highlights with white.

The shield and body came from multiples of the Primaris lieutenant included witj issue 1 of the Warhammer Imperium magazine.







I have a few more to do and then it’s time to get the Lion himself.
