TalonZahn Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 I decided to post it here, although I started the PLOG on Dakka on 9/14. I'll try to keep them in sync and up to date! I've hesitated making this thread as it puts me in the spot of having to update it and I'm horribly lazy. :huh: I've been collecting Space Marines (Blood Angels) since the original RTB01 box and still have my 1st Ed. Hardback. I am missing only 2 Blood Angel minis (Leonatos and GD2012 Cap) and the list is very short for others I seek to turn into Blood Angels. I have right around 22000 points in Blood Angels, and that doesn't count wargear. That's just straight up, base cost of each marine as they are listed. No power weapons/fists, special weapons, base Devs, etc..etc... It also does not include the Stormlord or Baneblade slated for conversion. The List: Dante Mephiston Tycho Sanguinor Astorath Corbulo Lemartes - new and old Sevrin Loth - to be done in BA Chapter Masters - all 4 Techmarine - in PA with harness Techmarine - in TDA with harness Captain - AoBR dude Captain - TDA Chaplain - JP Chaplain - Foot Chaplain - TDA 3 Librarians - PA, 2 from new GK kits 2 Librarians - TDA, made from new GK kits 4 Sanguinary Priests - PA, magnetized back/jump packs 4 Sanguinary Priests - TDA, 3 made from new GK kits 1 Sgt. Aurelius - 2005 Gamesday 1 Vet. Sgt. - 2004 Army box 15 Sanguinary Guard 6 Honor Guard - foot 9 Honor Guard - JP 101 Terminators - 10 Sgts., 15 A/C, 7 Hvy. Flamer, 10 LC, 16 TH/SS, 11 SB/CF, 27 SB/PF, 4 Cyclone, 1 Standard Bearer (30 are from Space Hulk sets) 39 Veteran Vanguard - made from various kits, including the metal ones, with many different loadouts 32 Sternguard - made from various kits, including the metal ones, with many different loadouts 45 Assualt Marines - JP with various configs (read all configs possible) 39 Assault Marines - Foot with various configs (read all configs possible) 21 Sergeants - magnetized packs, various configs 51 Tactical Marines 35 Devastators - only heavy weapons, no Tacs sneaking in as Devastators 22 Death Company - JP with various configs (read all configs possible) 22 Death Company - Foot with various configs (read all configs possible) 66 Scouts - various sninpers, BP/CCW, Bolters, ML's, and HB's 3 Drop Pods 4 Razorbacks 4 Predators 3 Baal Predators 1 Whirlwind 6 Rhinos - some have switchable tops for RBacks, WW.... 3 Vindicators 1 Land Raider 2 Land Raider Crusaders 7 Dreads - magentized, swapable arms 3 Storm Ravens 2 Landspeeders 6 Marine Bikes 5 Attack Bikes 1 Baneblade - to be made into a Felhammer 1 Stormlord - because it's a friggen Stormlord Around 540 Marines and 50 Vehicles. It's all probably 50/50 bare/primed various colors. There are a few test models painted here and there. I'm going to start with the Scouts and try not to hop around too much. I tend to get sidetracked and this thread is intended to keep me on course. Here's some pictures of most of it - http://s184.photobucket.com/albums/x271/TalonZahn/BA/ Here's the current pics that I have on Dakka from the first, then second update; All of the Scouts - http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x271/TalonZahn/BA/IMG_2228_zpsa607efd9.jpg Test 1 Shot 1 - http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x271/TalonZahn/BA/IMG_2229_zps9afe17aa.jpg Test 1 Shot 2 - http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x271/TalonZahn/BA/IMG_2230_zpsc72a6d69.jpg So here's 5 more Scouts and a Dread. I got tired of hammering on Scouts and finished off the first Dread. This one is just standard loadout and not magnetized as I recieved him already assembled. Going forward the other ones will be magnetized. As always, 2 shots with different lighting since I'm not a photographer. The main reason the red appears different between photos is one is under a more blue light and the other under a more yellow light. If anyone wants close ups of something, I can single them out. I also used an old trick to pull something off. I'll see if anyone can spot it. http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x271/TalonZahn/IMG_2239.jpg http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x271/TalonZahn/IMG_2235.jpg http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x271/TalonZahn/IMG_2240.jpg http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x271/TalonZahn/IMG_2237.jpg http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x271/TalonZahn/IMG_2241.jpg http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x271/TalonZahn/IMG_2238.jpg My pattern going forward will probably be something similar since doing the same thing over and over kills my productivity. So be prepared for other stuff to show up in between the painting of repetitive minis. Mostly whatever is close to the top of the bags. I know there's some Rhinos, Bikes, and Attack Bikes close at hand. So maybe those will sneak in the next update.

EgoDraconumNigrorum Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 Looking good so far mate. Stand out model for me is the crouching Scout with the brilliant freehand Blood Angels insignia upon it! - EgoDraconumNigrorum Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/262189-blood-angels-plog-new-libby-as-hq-request-updated-105/#findComment-3193858 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TalonZahn Posted October 3, 2012 Author Share Posted October 3, 2012 Here's 5 more Scouts and 5 Tactical Marines. Keep in mind everything will get based and decals before Matte coat at the end! Scout Shot 1: http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x271/TalonZahn/BA/IMG_2247.jpg Scout Shot 2: http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x271/TalonZahn/BA/IMG_2244.jpg Tactical Shot 1: http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x271/TalonZahn/BA/IMG_2248.jpg Tactical Shot 2: http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x271/TalonZahn/BA/IMG_2245.jpg As always, thoughts, comments, ideas!? No on to the question portion. I was hoping there would be some more action in this thread and I'm wondering if it's because there are no "cool" minis yet. So, the list is at the top. What does the audience want to see next? SG? Characters? Tanks? VV? Sternguard? Terms? Let me know!

Blindhamster Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 looking good, getting some closeups would be pretty cool too - and I'd suggest possibly painting some of the boltguns black maybe? Sternguard next please! :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/262189-blood-angels-plog-new-libby-as-hq-request-updated-105/#findComment-3195140 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChaptermasterDemon7 Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 Nice scouts and dread so far. And i would love to see some Sternguard next.

TalonZahn Posted October 3, 2012 Author Share Posted October 3, 2012 OK, I will do 5 Sternguard next and I had a couple requests for an HQ type mini with the qualifier of no characters please. So, I will dig them out and start assembling some fancy marines. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/262189-blood-angels-plog-new-libby-as-hq-request-updated-105/#findComment-3195228 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TalonZahn Posted October 4, 2012 Author Share Posted October 4, 2012 Alrighty, I found the Sternguard box and this is what the first 6 will bring you! http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x271/TalonZahn/IMG_2250.jpg I'll make a PA Libby with staff, sword, and Plasma Pistol. Built mostly from GK and a couple BA bits. The 6 Sternguard will be; Heavy Flamer, Heavy Bolter, 2 Combi-Meltas, and 2 Bolters. Built from GK, BA, and SM bits. Except the 2 Metal guys, they just get some tack-on stuff. I might have enough time to get some rough shots of assembly later today.

TalonZahn Posted October 5, 2012 Author Share Posted October 5, 2012 OK, the Libby in PA is done. He took way too long for my tastes and I left out the Power Sword I was going to hang on his hip. I just felt it might have been overkill. I'm pretty happy with him with the exception of 2 mold lines that I can see and definately stand out in the pics. They are nowhere near that bad in person and one is on the underside/back of the arm. However, that's what I get for trying to do this while my two boys were home from school. Here we go! http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x271/TalonZahn/BA/IMG_2264.jpg http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x271/TalonZahn/BA/IMG_2265.jpg http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x271/TalonZahn/BA/IMG_2266.jpg http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x271/TalonZahn/BA/IMG_2267.jpg http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x271/TalonZahn/BA/IMG_2263.jpg Basing will be done down the road and I'm always amazed at my crappy photography. Some stuff really pops and other stuff just doesn't show up at all. You can't even see the two-tone blues from the wash, but those Purity Seals look amazing! :cuss Let me know what you think. Now I'm on to the Sternguard that were requested.
