About the Project
This is my Dark Angels 5th battle company from before the Primaris heresy. It started out as my half of the Dark Vengeance box back in the day and has been growing into a full battle company ever since. After a couple of years of this project being dormant as I struggled with 8th edition 40k. I am now re-imagining the project, re-painting the army in a grimdark style and finishing it off before the proper standard space marine is completely eradicated in current GW lore. The army's main focus will be for 7th edition 40k, but the majority of it is compatible with everything down to 2nd.

Predator Progress Update 9
Most of you will probably know how demoralizing it can be to ruin weeks or months worth of work. Well this is what happened to my predator, I did the weathering with pigments and then ruined it with my airbrush.
I have now redone it using pigment binder instead of water, but not that happy with the results. Let’s hope it’ll stay on after the varnish. If so I’ll apply my pigments with water next time and then sprinkle some pigment binder over it.
It’s just not the same as before……
