As such, with my 'blood angels' army I have tried to become a better freehand painter. This is my latest painting goal, and you can see my continued efforts on the traitor leman russ I painted last time. The chaos symbols on the side of it are also free handed. They eye symbol, the roman numeral and the wording is all free handed. I like the numeral and the eye, but I really have a hard time with lettering. Like my penmanship, my word painting is always terrible! I am working at improving the script I paint on purity seals and within the eye itself, so any pointers would be great!
My angels chapter is a successor chapter of the Angels Sanguine, so they maintain the colors of black and red in tribute. I have also incorporated bone into the scheme and have painted this dark eye on all of their shoulder pads. I call my chapters the Sanguine Occuli. I will post more about my chapters fluff later - but for now, what do you think?
