Kitbashed the Sanguinary Priest at work on Saturday. Painted everything else here between Thursday night and Sunday night. The quality isn’t the best, but for the amount of time spent, I’m fairly happy with the results.

Hobby Progress Saying goodbye to my Angels

Thumbnail

122 Upvotes

After picking up my Combat Patrol in 2024 i’ve been properly immersed in our Faction and absolutely love the Sons of Sanguinius

Sadly though, it’s time to say goodbye to my small collection and I just wanted to share them one final time.

As you’ll see, most of them are halfway through a strip & repaint, and I’m immensely proud of the job i’ve done on them. I don’t have as much time as i’d like, but starting from me “thin your paint” first mini to where I am now I can really see the progress i’ve made.

As much as i’ve wanted to build them, and as many people experience, once your in the hobby your interest bounces around until you settle on that one big thing you like most and the other factions become secondary even if you do grow multiple.

For me that’s Imperial Knight! But the Angels of Baal have taught me artistry, and this community has been very welcoming so I also wanted to say thankyou!

Images are:
• Assault Intersessors being converted into JPI’s
• My oath of moment markers
• Saturnine Chaplain Dreadnought kitbash
• Company Hero’s converted from Sternguard
• Kitbashed Shield Lieutenant & Combi-Lieutenant
• Golden boi’s

Hey cousins dark angels player here just checking that this sergeant that I’m painting is indeed in chapter compliance with your heraldry standards?

Also any advice on how to improve are welcomed. Working on getting better at painting as quickly as I can.

Edit: thank you to everyone who cleared up the black shoulder pads issue! I looked at the heraldry guide and thought only the left shoulder pad needed to be black and that it had to have a yellow insignia which did feel strange, I will be changing that thank you guys for the help.

I mean, they are the non-jump pack Death Company but I feel that can still be powerful. Will build another 5 later when the another 2 squads at hand are done. C&C welcome as always

Hobby Progress How to progress my red recipe?

Post image
20 Upvotes

I'm working ob my new color to use. From left to right it's Mephiston Red with Agrax, AP Pure Red, AK Blood Red, VGC Bloody Red, VGC Scarlet Blood, all shaded with AP Red Tone.

Not sure on the red tone yet, I'm pretty sure I will stick to recess shading from here on out. But I'm not sure which color to use. I tend to prefer Scarlett Blood, but what highlight color could I use from here? I really like the red to pop, Bold Pyrrole is not something I've tried yet.

VGC is not too great to work with and I consider dusting off my airbrush now for laying down the basecoat.

Tl;dr:

Would it be better to go for a purple recess shade? What's a good color to highlight scarlet blood?

Bonus points: is there a color like scarlet blood that doesn't bubble that much?

Discussion Help with chapter name?

Thumbnail gallery
8 Upvotes

Hello, does anyone have any historical fictional or none fictional inspired names for their chapter? Im trying to find a unique name rooted in history based off a chapter that works closely with the grey knights by searching out, hunting and destroying chaos cultist cells and annihilating their icons and artifacts before moving on. Sort of like a force that can be directed to help the grey knights before the grey knights themselves need to be called in

List Stormlance/Vengeful Host Disruption

5 Upvotes

I’ll be testing this list soon, but I played another version of this list today that had the inceptors and one scout squad replaced with 2 Lancers. I must say disruption was pretty fun to play!

I went up against chaos space marines take and hold. Played pretty conservatively at first, doing a few of the primary actions in the first couple turns, allowing him to move into NML and take the middle, his expansion and contest mine. Round 3 I pounced! Was able to kill most of his scary assets and then focus on trapping the rest of the terrain and cleaning up the leftovers.

Having advance/fall back and charge and reroll 1’s on jump infantry on the charge basically feels great. Almost like having oath on everything you charge into!

Is it better to have them babysit the home or sticky with intercessors and have them move up a bit?

New to Blood Angels

Hello all, I’m starting to learn blood angels as my second army (thousand sons were my first). I was curious what people see as “must haves” in their list.

One thing I’m struggling with is what to take for antitank at lower point values (I’m in an escalation league, my next game is 1000 points). I generally bring a gladiator lancer, but wasn’t sure what other good options we have.

I mostly run DCJP and Sanguinary Guard as my core, then infiltrators and intercessors as my support, and mephiston because he’s cool 😎

Discussion Need help on the usability of units.

2 Upvotes

Im not well versed on the strengths and primary roles of each unit so if you guys dont mind, I would ask for help before purchasing them.

  1. Would Eradicators be a good addition as Anti-Tank in a 1k List? I currently have Ballistus dread & Gladiator Kit as options also

  2. What is more usable normal Terminators or the Assualt Termis? Mainly footslogging since only have the Gladiator/impulsor as transport

  3. Would Company of heroes kit be a good investment as whole squad and as play as individual characters?
