dragonknight4275 Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 Hey guys, I just wanted to ask for your opinions on whether I should paint my new Blood Angels as normal Blood Angels or as Angels Encarmine. I like the combination of red and black, but I personally hate the alabaster-white Death Company/Sanguinary Guard armour. While I actually don't have any Death Company or Sanguinary guard in my normal list, I'm planning out a Death Company list with Astorath and such. Please guys, what to do?

JamesI Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 Well, if you dislike the Alabaster DC/SG, I'd suggest Blood Angels or a different successor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamaNagol Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 The white DC really do look beautiful Maybe your normal list can be Angels Encarmine and the DC list can be normal BA? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrotherMoses Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 Maybe consider a DIY successor? Then you could do as you please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edemia Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 To be perfectly honest, I don't see why you couldn't do Angel's Encarmine and just use the sang guard/DC whatever color you like - your using the same Codex, the same rules etc :-) Edemia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liberate_tutame Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 I used the Angel Encarmine paint scheme because it fits with my old 2nd ed paintscheme. I find it hard to like the purely red marines, and yes as I painted them I found the red black contrast very nice. Especially on the tanks, which I did similar to Picsters (at least in colour schemes if not quality!). I also hate painting backpacks, so black and a highlight and they look jazzy. When I first heard of white DC I thought it would look stupid as well. I haven't painted my Death Company Alabaster yet, but wow, some people have done such a great job with them I'm really tempted to follow their lead. Having said that, I am old school, and I know how difficult it is to pull of a really good colour white, so I doubt I'll actually ever do it. :) The only thing I dislike about the Angels Encarmine is the horrible chapter insignia. I think it looks pretty gross compared to the sleek BA one, so I decided not to change that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
