Captain in Gravis Armour and Aggressors
Every army needs a leader and for my Dark Angels I have a Captain in Gravis Armour.
He is a beast in combat when armed with a power sword and his 4+ invulnerable save means he can avoid snipers from afar and when up close in melee.
Also finished is his bodyguard- six Aggressors. These bros are similarly beasts in combat with their flamestorm gauntlets burning the enemy.
Painting followed my usual approach with the captain getting more gold trim befitting his status.
The aggressors got some more silver trim than my usual troops with a combination of gun metal and stromhost silver.
The sarge also gets a silver helmet to stand out from the usual grunts.
Finally, here are the fattie boys all together.

Assault Intercessors
Another unit finished for the Dark Angels - the assault intercessors.
I enjoyed assembling and painting these bros. I mixed up the assembly to give me ten unique poses from the five odd versions in the kit.
This is as achieved by similar snipping off the arm to shoulder connections and gluing the alternative arm straight on.
Painting followed my other Dark Angels with an old Thraka green wash to darken up the power armour without losing all of the highlights.
I also took them for their first battle with their Blood Angel bros versus a combined Necron force.
Unfortunately, they were charged by some necron baddies who sliced them up in two turns.
We took down one before they fell with the remainder pummeled by my dreadnought in return. They will be back.

40k Deathwing Terminators
Another unit finished for my Dark Angels and this time it’s more big dudes - the deathwing terminators.
I made a conscious effort to get rid of any mould lines on them so if you see any they are weld lines from the ad mechs.
Painting started with a bone undercoat and agrax wash followed by building back up the bone colour on the terminator armour. Final highlights on the armour used a Vallejo white.
I tried to keep similar elements as my other Dark Angels such as the gold Aquila and red and green trimmings.
Looking forward to using them in a couple of weeks against necrons.
