MagicMan Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 Really nice blood angels dude. Quick question, the sternguard shoulder pads with the yellow blood drop, are they from GW or something? Or did you make them yourself? Just wondering because the blood drop sticks out super far from the pad itself.

AlexHeap Posted June 26, 2011 Author Share Posted June 26, 2011 @MagicMan: I made the blood drops myself, the first two do stick out quite far but I've since fixed it up and they've been replaced. The latest Sternguard has a much thinner blood drop that looks a lot better.

The latest Sternguard has a much thinner blood drop that looks a lot better and shows what the other two are now like.

AlexHeap Posted August 10, 2011 Author Share Posted August 10, 2011 Most of my recent time has been taken up with commission work so I've not had much time to work on my own things. However with a tournament coming up I've been trying to get some more Blood Angels done. Here's an assault squad I've just finished the bodies of: http://www.thewaaaghstudios.com/images/mekshop/baassaultsquad/baassaultsquad6large.jpg Still got to do the shoulder pads and backpacks but I'd at least be happy to field them on the table now.

AlexHeap Posted August 13, 2011 Author Share Posted August 13, 2011 I've got some more done now, here's a picture of a Dev Squad that I've nearly finished just got to add some Shoulder Pads and squad markings to the knees: http://img16.imageshack.us/img16/679/devsquad1.jpg I'm also particularly proud of the Sergeants face so I've got a zoomed in picture so you can see the detail better: http://img155.imageshack.us/img155/152/devsargface.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/231230-attempt-at-a-full-army-blood-angels-log/page/2/#findComment-2846321 Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexHeap Posted August 16, 2011 Author Share Posted August 16, 2011 I've also been working on a librarian to accompany the assault squad. He's made from parts from the Death Company Boxset and the Grey Knights Boxset aswell as a resin base from Dragon Forge Designs. Here's a picture of all the parts that will be involved: http://www.thewaaaghstudios.com/images/mekshop/balibrarian/balibrarian2large.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/231230-attempt-at-a-full-army-blood-angels-log/page/2/#findComment-2848902 Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlexHeap Posted August 18, 2011 Author Share Posted August 18, 2011 I've now added some powercables to the Librarian: http://www.thewaaaghstudios.com/images/mekshop/balibrarian/balibrarian4large.jpg So that's him all finished now I think. So unless anyone has any suggestions it's onto the painting table with him.

darth_giles Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Looks like a good start on the Libby, although I never really liked having all those messy wires running all over the place. Personal preference, I guess?

Mr Yellow Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 What did you use for the power cabling on the libby and where did you get it/how much is it?

AlexHeap Posted August 23, 2011 Author Share Posted August 23, 2011 I've now finished the librarian and here's a picture: http://www.thewaaaghstudios.com/images/mekshop/balibrarian/balibrarian5large.jpg If you click on the image it will take you to the project log on my website and their are some more pictures from different angles on there. On another note I had my first 40k tournament this past weekend. It was a doubles tournament and I used my blood angels with my team mate using Orks. Despite us never having played in a tournament before and me only having played about 2 games of 5th edition (one of which was the night before) We managed to come home with trophies for 2nd place. Even managed to get the same number of points as first place with 2 wins and 2 tables but got beaten by them in the finals which I'd like to think was because the game ended on turn 3 as the hall had to close for the night. All in all a great weekend and for those that are interested here's the list I took: Librarian: Shield, Lance Sanguinary Priest 5 man Assault Squad - Meltagun, Meltabombs, in Assault Cannon Razorback 5 man Assault Squad - Meltagun, Meltabombs, in Assault Cannon Razorback 5 man Devastator Squad with 4 x Missile Launchers 5 man Devastator Squad with 4 x Missile Launchers Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/231230-attempt-at-a-full-army-blood-angels-log/page/2/#findComment-2854916 Share on other sites More sharing options...

darth_giles Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Nice. I'd been wondering what the Sanguinary Guard bodies might look like in some color other than gold. Now all I gotta do is try to resist using one for my Apothecary Lord. Since the Dark Apostle is going to have a robe and all that...
