A momentous day is upon us battle brothers, for I have completely finished painting the Warhammer 40,000 Dark Vengeance boxed game. More detailed, glorious pictures after the jump my friends.
I got this box set at 12 o’clock midnight the day of it’s release all the way back in 2012 so I could post a review of it on this blog. Nearly three whole years later I’ve finished painting the contents!
The Black Legion Chaos Space Marine force
Chaos Helbrute
The start of this project was a false start with me painting a rather bright pink Helbrute. I instantly took a dislike to my approach to the Crimson Slaughter and proceeded to do a u-turn on the project. At the time the Black Legion Supplement Codex had been released for the iPad and I instantly loved the idea of painting an army fit for Abaddon himself.
Chaos Cultists with ranged weapons
Chaos Cultists with melee weapons
Chaos Sorcerer Lord (conversion)
Because I really wanted Abaddon to lead my Black Legion force I decided to convert the Lord that comes in the boxset to a Sorcerer. I used spare parts from the plastic Chaos Terminator Lord (left overs from my Abaddon conversion). I’m really happy with how it came out. I used Vallejo fluorescent paint for the ghostly warrior apparition.
Chosen Chaos Space Marines
The Dark Angel Space Marine force
Dark Angel Company Master
Dark Angel Librarian
Limited Edition Dark Angel Chaplain
Dark Angel Deathwing Terminators
Dark Angel Ravenwing Bikers
Dark Angel Tactical Marines

So where from here? Well all these Dark Angel models will become part of a larger army of the Imperium force which I plan to add to with some Assassins and second Imperial Knight. I also plan on adding more to the Chaos force by painting up the models in Assassinorum Execution Force as Black Legion models. I guess that’s my next boxset to paint… or maybe I’ll break out Stormclaw boxset and add some Space Wolves to my army. Who knows!?

Looks great
Awesome to see an end to a long running project
Really nice. I loved your pink Hellbrute though 😉
Inspiring. i should really finish mine up too 😛
Great stuff. I'm still (STILL) working on mine! It's so hard to stay focused with all these great new models coming out; temptations all around. Kudos for remaining disciplined and on target.
great to see this finally come together!
Great work Garfy – they look fantastic. I only wish I had a fraction of your staying power (let alone your mad brush skills!) and could see a project through to completion like this! Bravo!
I'm so proud of you, they look fantastic!
Top effort!!!! great work as always Garfy!!
Nice and clean.
Fantastic! I am just starting mine, currently going through mould lines 🙂 It's a great set and it's nice to see it wholly painted to a high standard. Keep it up!
