Yorrik: Guardians of the Covenant
As soon as Dark Vengeance dropped Yorrik & I stepped into a friendly competition to see who could complete it faster. For the Dark Angels side he decided to go with the Guardians of the Covenant successor chapter here:
Yorrik is really fast (that's what she said), and I have a fairly time-intensive job, so I don't hold out a lot of hope in completing the whole box before him. I've made some good headway though. Almost all of the minis built & based, and my Tactical Squad is ready for its first wash. My minis won't be as distinctive or identifiable as Yorrik's, but hopefully that'll help when I sell them.

These guys look great, it's cool seeing the DV minis in a different scheme. However, after loads of Grey Knights content on the blogosphere for months, I was a little confused at first!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing your stuff too
Boltgun metal is a good base for speed-painting. I mainly bought the Dark Vengeance box for the Chaos minis and the rulebook, so I decided on something quick and clean for the Dark Angels. A friend of mine was quick to point out that they look like Grey Knights from a distance, but I'm not too worried about it. One of my favorite elements of the squad is that each battle brother has their name painted on the right shoulderpad tactical symbol - a detail you can't see from the pic angles.
ReplyDeleteThey look sweet! is it just a boltgun metal basecoat with a wash?!
ReplyDeleteBoltgun metal, mithril silver highlight, nuln oil wash. Easiest scheme I've ever done.
ReplyDeleteDid you do a nuln oil wash all over or only in the recesses?
DeleteI believe he lightly washed the whole thing.
DeleteDecided to paint my Guardians in a similar style, thanks for putting these up. Do you have plans painting up the terminators and bikes in the near future as well?
ReplyDeleteSince I am (technically) in a race with Brother Muninn to finish the Dark Vengeance box, yes I will be painting the rest of the Dark Angel minis. Right now I have basecoats on all of the remaining marines, but my painting time has been taken up by other interests recently.
ReplyDeleteReally nice...I'm a new Guardians player.
ReplyDeleteI haven't had a chance to do any painting yet. I will definitely be using these as a guide + my own tweaks (might go a bit darker on the red and more gold trim)
But can you tell me all the colours you used in this? I still need to buy more paints and I don't want to get the wrong ones.
Is it possible to leave here detailed instruction how the painter made that tactical squad with all the layers and colours used ? Thanks a lot
