Blood Angels Tacticals

Here's a combat squad.

EDIT: Renewed the image after fixing some minor errors.

These are actually from a 3rd Edition Salamanders Tactical Squad Box I bought about a decade ago. I didn't like the paintjob so I stripped and repainted them. I believe they look a million times better. The rest (with the sergeant, special and heavy weapon) are halfway there and will be posted in this thread, possibly next weekend. With that done, I'll finally have 1,000 pts of painted models after a decade of painting, stripping and repainting..

Please do tell me what you think can improve.

P.S. Don't tell me to drill the barrels, I don't have a pin vise and I can't be bothered looking for one. I just paint a black circle where there should be a hole.

Well, the barrels need dri... oh. Uh, let's see... I think some basing wouldn't go amiss and maybe some insignia/heraldry would be good too. :lol:

Basing will be done when the whole unit is finished, I forgot to mention that :lol:

Not bad at all. Very minimalist highlights on the black, and I strongly prefer the dark sort of red to the bright alternative some BA players go with.

 

Recipe? :)
