I've already decided that after my Wolf Guard Battle Leader project, Ragnar/Seth could be next!

I don't understand why you guys are confused...

 

He said he was going to use the BA codex for his Skyclaw Army.

 

An army composed almost exclusively of Skyclaws. Probably because he doesn't want to run a bunch of WS 3 assault marines.

No I plan on having 5 different space wolf armies.

 

 

My cavalry list uses the space wolf codex.

 

When I have enough jump packs I will use the blood angel codex with my jump pack list

 

When I get enough bikes I will run a bike list using codex ultramarines

 

When I have enough termies for a list I will use codex da

 

So on and so forth.

 

Multiple armies using a different codexes

I think the main thing I'll be after from the BA kits are the Right Handed Power Fists (to go with Storm Shields and Storm Bolters) and also the Heavy Flamer sponsons from the Baal Pred kit to turn into TL Heavy Flamers for my Razorbacks. Aside from that... Lemartes and Astorath might be fun to paint as one-offs, but I'm not too worked up about the rest of the release.

If I had started playing this game today, Sanguinor and Astrorath would have been reason enough to play BA or even as codex marines lead by 2 captains. one pure and one evil. Im hooked on Lost this season, can you tell?

 

EDIT:

I have to be honest though, the wrist mounted bolt pistols looked like an after thought. the level of detail on the rest of the models and then looking at the pistols, Im suprised I didnt see fingerprints in it from the green stuff.

Lemartes looks much better, the DC look ok but to ornate in my opinion.

Astoroth looks awsome, the way Gw has him painted looks wack. but the mini looks like a good conversion for either dante or mephi if they dont get a new model.

 

I agree the seth looks like its been inspired by DV8's ragnar

the bat vangaurd serg looks like Edward Cullen

the exsanginator looks awsome as do the sang gaurds.

 

Overall I am a little jealous, no way can we use these for our armies as the models would have to be heavely converted to fit a SW army.

However seeing as BA is my second army I can make use of the models, BUT its a big BUt i have only painted one scout squad and drop pod for my SW so I wont be touching the new Ba models for atleast a year

i like both the blood angels and the space wolves sculpts. but i have to say that the blood angel special character sculpts are FAR better than the ones the space wolves have. not a fan of sanguinor's pose, but the detail on him is amazing. on the contrary, seth's pose is amazing but his detail is a lot more bland. but thats the way he's supposed to be, so it fits with the fluff. astaroth is just awesome. a spine as a handle for his power axe, his muscle armor and black wings are all jaw dropping. lemartes is very unassuming but the detail again is great. really i dont think the space wolves special character sculpts cannot even begin to compare with the blood angels ones. our terminators and wolf pack sprues are great though, easily on par with the blood angel DC and EAC/VAC sprues.
There is NOTHING WRONG with the current Ragnar or Ulrik-in fact there was nothing wrong with Njal either but I aint complaining.

 

The new BA minis are AWESOME-would collect BAs if I didnt have so much SW gear-I say this from looks alone

Ulrik is rather short compared to the new plastics and Ragnar is not half bad but he is rather static. I would like to see new sculpts based on these two points and because they are over two decades old. I think it's time for a 're-imagining' of the characters (as Tim Burton likes to put it). Having said that, they will always remain classics.
