Dark Vengeance: Interrogator Chaplain

This model was an absolute pleasure to paint.

My friend Jim gave me the Dark Angel models from the Dark Vengeance box set, and part of that was the limited edition Chaplain.

All the models from this set are so nicely modelled that it’s great to paint them.

I went fro a simple paint scheme and I think he turned out really well.

The smoke wasn’t hard to paint, and I was a bit worried about painting it, but I decided to go for simple white/grey smoke  rather than something crazy.

Again a very enjoyable model to paint.

Thanks Jim!

Warhammer-40k-Dark-Vengeance[1]

We had a little Christmas get together this weekend, and we had a small gift giving thing amongst friends.

Well I thought we were friends!

My ‘friend’ Jim has given me the Dark Angel models from the Dark Vengeance Box set as a Christmas present  what a g*t!

He single-handedly undone all the good work I’ve done on my clean slate challenge!

I got :

5 Terminators

3 Ravenwing Bikes

10 tactical marines

1 Librarian

I Space Marine Commander

I Interrogator Chaplain

Yes, best of all it was the Limited Edition set with the Chaplain in, because  I needed another Chaplain; this is my seventh Chaplain.

The models of course are  amazing, if you have not seen the models from the Dark Vengeance box set let me tell you they are some of the best plastic models I have ever seen.

And I could not buy them myself because of my challenge, how frustrating.

Thanks Jim 🙂

P.s. I just did some maths and I have painted 18 models so far; Jim just gave me 21 new models. That means after two months I’m 3 models down from from where I started from!

Asmodai

This guy is Asmodai  the best Interrogator Chaplain ever, so he gets to wear the biggest bathrobe from the Dark Angels ‘sauna wear’ range.

Rumours are that a new Asmodai model will be coming out next year, perhaps in terminator armour, which I hope is true. I feel the model has not aged well as some others, he is still good but there are some really fine sculpts out there these day.

I play Dark Angels, and the rumours are we are going to get a new codex early next year.  I’m already getting excited about a new Asmodai, and all the other rumours flying around, but I will have to wait and see what comes out.

If you read my post on Chaplain Cassius you will know how I painted this guy, so I wont repeat myself here. I feel this is probably the worst paint job I’ve done for this challenge so far, and that’s my fault. I could have done more with the robes, but I was lazy so the figure didn’t reach its full potential.

Still I look forward to using him in some games, and he is finished and off the list.
