Rejects of Anvilus Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 OK, so finally with only a few hours to spare I have finished my vow. Sorry about the lack of updates, but here for your enjoyment (I hope) is the pictures of the finished models. First of all the Reclusiarch The Death Company Then as an added bonus we have some extra finished models not connected with the vow. My first Assault Aquad With a close-up My Sanguinary Priests An extra two sergeants Honour Guard And a group shot of my whole army The other two Assault Squads haven't got shoulder pads yet, nut should be finished in the next day or two, and then all I have left to do is a Librarian and some Vanguard Veterans and I will have a complete 1850 point army. Any comments or criticisms welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Requiem of the Wolf Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 Very nice painting indeed...Though I do have one question. And please do not take this as a insult,as I am unfamiliar with all the facets of the Blood Angels codex and thus might have missed the reasoning allready...but why are your Sanguinary Priests carrying Candycane chainswords? Or is that just to help insure they are easily identifiable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rejects of Anvilus Posted May 31, 2010 Author Share Posted May 31, 2010 It's a little known fact that amongst the Fleshtearers Sanguinary priests are drawn from those who have first completed their barbershop apprenticeship, after which time they are allowed to progress to becoming surgeons. The skills which they have learnt with the straight razor (now there is a modelling opportunity, hhmmmm) are then put to use for more complex surgical procedures. The - as you called them - candy-cane chainswords are simply a reminder of the barber shop sign which they would have had outside their quarters. So in essence they are a nod to the old school barber shop signs and all that they stand for. Â Alternatively, it could just be that i painted them that way after a conversation at my local GW with another player on how to make the Priests stand out. Â P.S. I just tasted one and its not good :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teeef Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 Good job on getting the vow complete. And also great to see that you actually went wild and did a bunch more figs. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rejects of Anvilus Posted June 1, 2010 Author Share Posted June 1, 2010 Cheers, in fact I did most of the other figs first, and only managed to finish the reclusiarch at the last minute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Loken Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 Looking good mate, infact the barbershop thing came from when barbers were also ships surgeons in the navy and they used to hang out bandages to dry apparently so it fits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
