So I did some work on the first batch of three Blood Angels. I’m following my own tutorial to the letter (btw a great way to remember your paint schemes). Painting the red armour actually took longer than expected. I guess jump packs add a significant amount of bulk to a model that needs to be painted. Also you can see there are lots of bolts on the models, which all needed to be painstakingly shaded, one by one. And don’t get me started how many layers of yellow I needed for the knee guards… However, I can now proceed painting all the details. Looking forward to the finished results!

He is known for bold colour schemes and sharp edge highlights, which he paints with typical German perfectionism (one of the reason he is such a notoriously slow painter).
as a (not so adept) blood angel player and painter, i admire and much more envy your painting skills 😉
You can do the bolt black, no?
I share your pain about the application of yellow. Even with a good undercoat they can be a pain to put down in one solid go. No wonder you opted for spraying it on the helms 🙂
Looking great so far. You're doing the sons of Sanguinius proud.
