Apothecary Biologis

 My descent into heretical paint jobs continues with my second last space marine mini from the leviathan box set, the mighty Apothecary Biologis.

Unlike almost every other painted version of this bro I decided he was going to have red power armour with Dark Angel trim on the left shoulder pad and lots of gold trim similar to my recent Sternguard veterans.

For the first time I tried a bit of slap chop with a black undercoat and then dry brush bolt gun metal followed by white. For the power armour I used red speed paint and highlights with lighter reds.

The rest of the colours also relied on speed paints with various lighter highlights. 

A happy coincidence is the three main colours of this dude represent the colours of my regular opponents being blood angels and ultramarines.

Phobos Lieutenant

 Another finished mini from the Leviathan box set - the Phobos Lieutenant.

I followed my usual Dark Angel paint scheme trialed with the Infernus Marine.

As usual with these push fit bros assembly was straightforward with the only issue being that I snapped off the antenna on the side of his head. A replacement came from a cut down paper clip.

I also kept the dead tyranid colours used on my Terminator Captain.

I only noticed after I had taken the pics above that the knee cap transfer needed to be straightened so here it is replaced.

Deathwing Captains

Next up for the Dark Angels is a Captain in Gravis Armour and a Primaris Captain.

The Gravis bro is an easy conversion with a hooded head and and a banner for the old veteran plastic kit.

The power armour Captain is from warhammer imperium issue 5 with a head swap from the (I think) eliminators kit. I dig this head and gives him a cool Dr Doom look.

Painting of these dudes followed my recent colours with GW contrast skeleton horde over a white undercoat.

Power weapons used speed paints over a leadbelcher undercoat.

I don’t have any experience with them on the tabletop but in the interim they will join my ever growing Deathwing force.

Deathwing Sternguard Veterans Part 2

After being happy with my first two Deathwing Sternguard Veterans it was time to finish off the last three.

Again it was time for heresy as I kept the gold helmets and armour trim throughout these dudes.

I used the same recipe of paints from part 1 with the minimal use of red compared to my other Dark Angels.

Here is the finished unit.

Next on the painting table will be the remaining characters and dreadnought from the Leviathan box.
