Distruktion Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 I'm relatively new to these forums, but it seems like everyone enjoys posting their armies in progress and seems like the community enjoys watching the work come together. Plus it's a great place for constructive criticism. So to make a long story short, as I dislike reading extremely long posts, I am starting a new Blood Angel army and have chosen to make it an Angels Encarmine successor chapter. This is my first new army in a few years and really want it to come out well. I have enjoyed learning about the Blood Angels fluff (it is some great stuff) and am really looking forward to working on this army. This army will be going to Adepticon next March and am hoping to have a great looking army to showoff. So, lets get started... 1. Since there isn't a great deal of fluff out there for Angels Encarmine, I was thinking of writing some of my own. I have some thoughts on what I'm going to write, but I'm not sure if it's something worth doing or how to present it. 2. I'm going to convert all of the normal blood angel symbols into Angels Encarmine iconography. I have a few pictures below on what I've done so far and would appreciate any comments both positive and negative. http://i374.photobucket.com/albums/oo183/C2ThaLo88/Pic018.jpg EDIT: Not sure what happened to the picture, sorry. Other pics: Jump Pack Power Fist Death Co. Marine 3. I'm unsure of my chalice for the Sang Priest. Currently it's about 75% done, I still have some more green stuff to add and smooth it out, but I'm just not sure what I think about it so far. Maybe I'll just buy a Corbulo model and hack him up for the chalice. http://i374.photobucket.com/albums/oo183/C2ThaLo88/Pic029.jpg Other Pic: Alternate Angle 4. My Libbby I'm very happy with so far. I think however I would like to add more "Librarian" swag, such as more scripture pieces, etc. I have some ideas but am waiting for some pieces to dry before I add anything else. http://i374.photobucket.com/albums/oo183/C2ThaLo88/Pic032.jpg Left Arm Right Arm EDIT: 5. Forgot to add one last pic. For my characters I will be using something other than "Angel Wings" http://i374.photobucket.com/albums/oo183/C2ThaLo88/Pic035.jpg Thanks in advance for any comments.

Rizara Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 hey there, looks great so far. I will definitely be following this thread. I do have one question, where did you get the wings from. They look wicked man, i am assuming some vampire kit or something but i am kind of curious. Reason is my Scions of Blood successor chapter uses a similar icon to the angels encarmine. I am actually thinking of having it as a successor to that chapter, but i use a blood drop with a more direct, bat wings. Since the angels encarmine is a winged sillohette its hard to tell if its a wing of feathers or bat wings. They also have mutliple points on there wings and they are larger and more upswept. Anyways my army icon wings is a bit like the night lords wings on there icon with a blood drop inplace of the skull. Anyways that would make a much cooler conversion using those wings for my Chapter master instead of the basic angel wings is why i asked, and i would love to flatter you by copying your idea at least for my chaptermaster(dante) stand in.

Distruktion Posted May 12, 2010 Author Share Posted May 12, 2010 I do have one question, where did you get the wings from. Tyranid Gargoyles. I chopped some parts off, but that's what I'm using.

If you were doing Night Lords that would look great but I dont think it very Blood Angels.

If you were doing Night Lords that would look great but I dont think it very Blood Angels. Nope, but it's pretty Angels Encarmine. I think he's playing off the bat wing chapter symbol.

Blood brother Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 As a fellow Angel Encarmine player I must say that I love that you incorporated the bat wing chapter symbol into the jump pack wings... I wish I had thought of that before making my Sang guard and Dante "counts as" with the angel wings. :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/201193-a-doomed-chapter-updated-926/#findComment-2397037 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rizara Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 Cool, well consider that idea stolen for sure. Tho i think i may only use it for my chapter masters ornate, icon bearing suit of armor. For the rest of my units that include the sanguinary guard backpacks.. i may stick to black feathery wings. This way my chaptermaster just looks the part. After seeing your stuff i am definitely going to be using the angels encarmine as my DIY chapters true parent chapter..with the blood angels as just the grandparent chapter lol.

Wolf Priest Haelaeif Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 I love the guy with the wings. It really befits their dark side a lot more than the angel wings. Go on with that, it is awesome.

Distruktion Posted June 16, 2010 Author Share Posted June 16, 2010 Well it has been a while since I've had a chance to update, so here we go... I haven't had much time to work on anything so far this summer, just an hour or so here and there. I have however finished modeling my Librarian, still working on my Sang Priest which looks quite a bit different than the first pictures (sorry no update for him yet). http://i374.photobucket.com/albums/oo183/C2ThaLo88/GW/Pic028.jpg Other views: Shoulder Pad No Wings Next update, hopefully this weekend, will be my completed Sang Priest and the two models based.

Distruktion Posted September 22, 2010 Author Share Posted September 22, 2010 Well, it's been a long and busy summer. I have finally jumped back into the hobby and have spent the last week completing my Librarian. This was my first attempt at NMM and I like how it turned out. All comments and criticism accepted, hope you like it. http://i374.photobucket.com/albums/oo183/C2ThaLo88/GW/170.jpg Other views: Right Side Left Side Back Normal Backpack Weapon Close-up Next up I will be completing my Sang Priest which is 50% completed. Then I will be working on my scout squad. I want to add hoods to my scouts to go with the gothic/melancholy theme, any suggestions on how to achieve this? Thanks!

WarpWalker Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 Great job! Those wings are BA(not the chapter)! I'm modeling my own Astorath. Mind if I use that idea on him?
