Blood Angels WIP- Tactical Squad

[Brother Evar]

Well I have been busy lately and haven't had much time to post as just life, well its life. (study, GF, looking for work ect) :D Anyway in my spare time I have more time for 40K as I hate watching TV and my XBOX 360 died, so I have more time to paint.

 

I decided on the BA as I liked the new dex, rules, fluff and the art is just top notch. Also I think it would look cool to display my BL fighting against the BA on a gameboard (in the planning stage). I was origionaly going to do the Sable Swords but I just got bored and fustrated painting black and white, which are the colours of the Raven Guard, an army that has thus eluded me for years to collect. That one I would do right with all FW stuff, especially the older armour marks they now have.

 

When you see the pic you will quickly see that these are not the angelic defenders you would normally see. They look similar to Flesh Tearers, though I used the stylized BA mark in the dex as it looks awsome. I wanted to bring out the darker side of the BA. I was not really happy with the pretty boy image that BA seem to share with the PH EC, so wanted to give them some edge. Thats why I used mainly older armour marks, chainswords ect. The second tac squad is a mix of the two and the third is completely oppisate- all Mk 7 power armour, clean cut and with cool looking bayonet bolters. They aren't finished yet and will put some pics of them up when I get some more time.

 

These are in the WIP stage and need highlights and basing. I don't have a good basing method and any suggestions would be helpful. Also in the works as a side project is a duel between Abaddon and a BA character, I was thinking Sanguinator

or Seth. Open to any other suggestions.
