HOW'D HE DO THAT?
ROBES
For my Dark Angel Devastator, I undercoated with Chaos Black Spray Paint. For the robes, I first basecoated with Graveyard Earth and then painted over the entire robe with an even mix of Graveyard Earth and Bleached Bone. Next, I highlighted the robe with Bleached Bone followed by a final highlight of 1:1 Bleached Bone to Skull White. I painted the rope belt with Vermin Brown, then a wash of Brown Ink, and finally a highlight of Bubonic Brown.
ARMOUR
For the Dark Angel's armour, I basecoated with Dark Angels Green. For the first highlight, I used an even mix of Dark Angels Green and Goblin Green. Next, I highlighted with a 2:1 mix of Goblin Green to Scorpion Green. Finally, I edged with an even mix of Goblin Green and Scorpion Green.
For the for the grey areas, I started with a 1:2 mix of Chaos Black to Codex Grey. Then, I highlighted with straight Codex Grey followed by a highlight of Fortress Grey and finally one with a 1:2 mix of Fortress Grey to Skull White.
DETAILS
To represent this Space Marine's battlefield kills, I decided to use the Dark Angels symbol on the side of the Missile Launcher. These little icons were easy to paint by just creating an upside-down triangle with a Fine Detail Brush. Then, I added a short line to the top.
The new Devastator Missile Launcher backpack has a missile-loading arm. To represent the damage the clamp could cause if misused, I decided to paint it with yellow-and-black warning stripes. I painted the yellow stripes with Bad Moon Yellow and then highlighted them with an even mix of Bad Moon Yellow and Skull White. I highlighted the Chaos Black lines with an even mix of Chaos Black and Bleached Bone.
