After a week of suffering from a vaccine reaction, I got back to the Blood Angels.

Finished the first squad of Intercessors. Toughest part was the knee decal, which wanted a flat surface, to go on a rounded surface. Lots of decal softener solved it.

Formula for painting:

• Prime German red brown
• Spray Ak blood red ink
• Acryl Pro Pyrrole Red
• AK Orange Light Rust for highlight
• Black
• Highlight with Graphite and silverwhite
• Flesh Radiant Flesh with Guilliman wash, highlight rf
• Hair golden brown with Guilliman wash, highlight gb
• Eyes silver white, frog green + luminous green dot
• Purity seals – medium rust, vampire flesh, black writing
• Decals

Bases

• Primer IJA parched grass
• Wash skeleton horde
• Drybrush IDF sand

Used simple Army Painter Strong Tone (the middle brown one) to shade the Blood Angels, and then Vallejo Black to get other parts ready to highlight.

I’m going to use Pro Acryl for the first time on the red, Bold Pyrolle Red; the bottles come with a steel ball inside for shaking, they are nicely sized, and have dropper tops. Fingers crossed.

First use of Pro Acryl. On to wet palette, no thinning needed. Extremely dense pigment, unlike many reds (makes me want to try a yellow in their range…).

New year, new army for the same guy I painted the Iyanden Eldar for last year. This time, Blood Angels are up.

Primer was Vallejo German Red Brown (still visible on the Captain figure), followed by AK Blood Scarlet ink – a semi transparent, high pigment red. First time I’ve used this combo to get a base colour, and I’m liking how it’s going.

First batch is a total of 16 models.
