How to paint: Dark Angels Tactical Marine

I thought I'd write a small tutorial on how I paint my Dark Angels from the Dark Vengeance boxed set. Nothing too fancy here - if you have just some amount of control over your brush, this shouldn't be too hard to do yourself.

 I start out with a black undercoat. You could also choose a green undercoat from The Army Painter or likewise, but I've gotten used to black undercoats, and I like the fact that those hard to reach places are just plain Black - makes them harder to notice. After the black undercoat, I give most of the model a solid coat of the Caliban Green base colour.

 For the next step, I practically drench the model in Nuln Oil shade. Make sure the wash gets in to all the recesses of the model.

 The Nuln Oil makes the already dark green even darker. To make sure it doesn't get too dark, I give the flat areas a layer of Caliban green again.

 Now to the hightligts. I use Warpstone Glow for the first layer of highlights. I'm considering using something a bit darker, since the rather bright green colours make the models a little bit too cartoony for my taste. I gave the flat areas a "fake" highlight as well to make the arrow on his shoulder stand out a bit more.

 Next, I higlight even further with a layer of Moot green. After that, I apply a layer of Waywatcher green glaze, since it helps to tone the hightlights down a bit, and because it ties different shades of green together.

 For the red parts: Red base paint - forgot the name - then old Blood Red (new Wild Rider Red would propably do). Highlight with blazing orange and old GW Vomit brown. For the base, I use the texture paint Stirland Mud and drybrush a bit of light flesh colour onto it. White parts are given a layer of Karak Stone, then Seraphim Sephia wash, Ushabti Bone and finally White Scar.

 Here's the finished model - and the rest of my Dark Angels below.
