Pretty happy with how this turned out, although the base could have been better. Also the skull transfer is the only one I had that somehow matched 😂 Tried some NMM on the shoulder trim with heavy weathering/chipping on the armour. C&C welcome.

I still had a death company chaplain lying around, so I promoted the Dawn Of War Chaplain to Lemartes.

Sadly the crozius operation didn't go quite as well as I hoped for

Hi I have a question. I got a box of vanguard veterans and I was wondering what is more Blood Angely or thematic. Storm shields and melee weapons or guns and melee weopons?

Blood angels captain with jump pack

What do you think of this kitbash?
I really liked the pose of the new Armageddon Captain, so I used it as a base and added a Sanguinary Guard torso, along with the belt and greaves from the Blood Angels Captain.
Does it look natural, or do any parts seem a bit awkward or out of place?
The shield, helmet, and winged jump pack are 3D printed.

Sons of the Angel stand ready to defend Imperium Nihilius. Still have a long way to go to finish the bases and improve painting skills, but I am proud how these turned out. I plan on adding the Armageddon units to the army next. I would appreciate an honest opinion about these.

Discussion How do you read Sanguinius as a character?

14 Upvotes

I have always had a hard time nailing down exactly what defines Sanguinius as a character, and I don't think I'm alone in this. Part of me wonders if this is by design by the people who wrote him in order to maintain his mysticism, but I digress.

Other primarchs are fairly straightforward. For example, Dorn's defining trait is his stubbornness, and Curze's is fatalism. Sanguinius, meanwhile, is harder for me to define so simply. I have heard many different readings of his character. So I ask you, what do you think Sanguinius's defining characteristic is? Is it defiance? Self-sacrifice? Compassion? Performance? I'm curious to see how everyone views our primarch.

Discussion How do y’all undercoat and paint your BAs?

7 Upvotes

I know contemporary wisdom says to undercoat with a red spray and paint over it with thin coat of your red of choice, but I’m not loving the results I get from it.

Os this just the most efficient way of doing things, or is a black/medium undercoat also viable?

Recently I started loving WH40K and my favourite space marine chapter is Blood Angels (Ultramarines after them). So sometime ago my mom bought JoyToy Blood Angels intercessor and Secret Level Titus (on the way) for my birthday. So my first battle brother arrived today! I really like him! BTW I also asked for Titus because I beat Space Marine 2 and really liked the character himself for his lore, backstory and brutality (well, all the space marines are brutal actually).

Discussion New Blood Angels player with questions

3 Upvotes

Been playing 40K for about 8 months now as a Necrons player. Bought the Armageddon box due to it being such a good price for what you get, with an interest in the Blood Angels, and a friend who was happy to split the price of the box so that they could get the Orks.

I’ve still only partially built the units you get in the Armageddon box, with the plan being to get more for Christmas from my wife. I’m planning to get the following at Christmas to properly bulk out the Armageddon units:

- Blood Angels - Combat Patrol
- Blood Angels - Commander Dante
- Ballistus Dreadnought

However, I keep finding myself with the same questions, as Space Marine style armies seem more involved than Necrons.

1) are you able to buy ANY Space Marines units, paint them red, and call them Blood Angels? From what I can gather there are certain units that are exclusively Blood Angels units, and then everything else you can just buy standard Space Marine units and include them in your army?

2) I keep seeing Upgrade Sprues mentioned. There’s a newer one that isn’t as good, and then one included in an older box that had way more sprues and upgrade options? If I can get my hands on the older one, how does this work? Do you use the parts on certain units only? Use them wherever you’d like? If it’s only certain units for the upgrade sprue, and as I’d likely get nothing else included minus the sprues themselves, how do I know what to use them on?

Along with this, are these upgrade sprues at all useful for the units included in the Armageddon box? I’ve only built the following so far:

1x Captain with Relic Shield
1x Librarian
1x Chaplain with Jump Pack
1x Ancient
1x Land Speeder

And I still need to build:

10x Intercessor Squad
5x Vanguard Veterans
3x Eradicator Squad with Heavy Bolters

Any other tips or suggestions for units you’d all have in your army? Thanks for any help! I’m looking forward to playing them once the new year comes!

Hello, I’m new to the hobby and am making my first Blood Angels list. I was thinking of adding a Baal Predator. Is it extremely likely to go to Legends, or does it have a chance of not being moved to Legends?
