I have recently taken on a comission to paint a Dark Angels army. Now I intend to use this thread as a progress report both for me and the customer. I have not got underway yet but I have the first unit prepped and ready for basecoating. I am going to tackle a unit of scouts first. I will undercoat them later when I have decided how best to base them and then I will start posting pics as I progress.

Got the first squad the scouts undercoated and the base coat on the skin today, I have had to stop as the heat is getting unbearable and making it difficult to paint with any consistency, I'll try again later, hopefully I will be able to show some progress pics tomorrow sometime.

So as promised here are the early WIPs of the first five members of this DA army, the scouts. I am not totally happy with the minis yet and there is alot of work still to do but here they are, Remember that this is an army that is being painted for gaming and therefore there won't be as much work going into the rank and file troops as usual. I still need to smooth a few things out to make them a little more pleasing on the eye. Ron if you are looking I hope you like them so far.

No Alex you are right, If I were to put the same amount of time into each mini as I normally do then the army will take months to complete and I am sure that Ron will not want to wait theat long, I may go back and redo them but I have to consider the time factor.

Ok Ron, I might go back then and revisit the pants. I go through phases where I like them and then not so much, they do look better in reality than in the photo to be honest.

They look great so far Tim. I don't think the pants are that bad at all, especially considering this is an entire army for play. I can't wait to see what else you do with these models (and army).

Hi Ron, i am afraid it will be a little while longer as my real life job is taking nearly all my time for the next few weeks, and I just don't have any time to do serious painting, I will try and get done what I can as and when I can and try and get some more pics up for you soon.

Thanks, I am hoping to get a few days next week to get back into them I need to be able to dedicate time for them which over the last 6 weeks has been impossible with work so here's hoping.

Yes! A Dark Angels thread! I'm looking forward to the army, I play them myself, and I will start a new DA army when the new codex/models is released. It's nice to get some inspiration before I start my own army. The faces on the scouts is great, and I guess the rest will be awesome too when it's finished.
Cheers
Mikkel
