"Sergio's bolter is jammed!"
So @Entropomancer and I have been playing 40k and many other GW games together since 1997 when we were just getting out of HS. I remember playing Space Hulk: Vengeance of the Blood Angels on the PlayStation at his house back in the day. I many fond memories laughing at the "please wait" loading screens to find out you died a minute or longer later, when we realized you could block a Genestealer attack, or Sergio's bolter jamming*….even the one time he had the Heavy Flamer, it still jammed. Entropomancer is my brother by choice and one of my closest friends. We talk miniature gaming all the time. We love bouncing new army ideas off each other and while I have horrible Win Loss Tie Record against him its about the crazy stuff that happens during the game, win or lose, we both still have fun. So often I will be hey what do you think of this idea and more recently asking him which game to get GF kids into the world of GW, we closing in on Kill Team or War Cry, when my GF bought my the Space Marine Board Game which was even better.
So the other day I mentioned to him that I had an idea for another army, Ultramarine 1st Company Terminators. I currently have 2 Leviathan Captain, 1 Leviathan Librarian in Terminator armor, 20 Leviathan Terminators. Entropomancer sighed at me, and says again with UM 1st Co. Then I said or should I do Blood Angels. He responded Blood Angels. One of the Original members of our group was our friend Biz, who has moved out of state, but had an amazing Blood Angels army in 2nd/ 3rd edition. He made a Death Company version for every model in his army.....he rolled so bad he lost an entire Devastator squad to Black Rage and many many other models. When the Rules for the all Death Company army dropped in the White Dwarf or Citadel Journal, he was like "I'm ready lets do this." Over the course of the discussion we agreed with our fond memories of Space Hulk: Vengeance of the Blood Angels and biz. Blood Angles 1st company is the way to go.
The plan...…Once I get moved in to my new place and after my vacation to Europe with the GF.
- Build and paint the army in 500 point chunks.
- Terminators, Dreadnoughts, Land Raiders will be bulk of the force.
- Only non Terminators planned so far are Death Company Assault Intercessors and a maybe a Repulsor for them.
- Need to get some bits for Conversions: Blood Angel Assault Terminator box, Sanguinary Guard, Blood Angel upgrade sprues.
- Ideally I want them on Space Hulk bases with dead genestealers on them but may do something else with dead genestealers
The initial build or the first 500 pts
- Librarian in Terminator Armor: Storm Bolter, Force Weapon, Warlord, Archangel's Shard
- Terminator Squad I: Chainfist, Assault Cannon
- Terminator Squad II: Assault Cannon
*Yes there will be a model named Sergio, along with rest of the Space Hulk: Vengeance of the Blood Angels Squad members
