Blood Angels project: 4th company (apocalypse army)


Normaliser

Recommended Posts

Right then,

Went out on the weekend and spent too much money on models.

Picked up a Blood Angels battleforce, an assault squad, and a razorback turret and marine heavy bolter parts from ebay, as well as a couple of forgeworld torsos just because.

This is my first attempt at a colour scheme for my army, he still needs details adding but I have gone for the second edition style black-rimmed shoulder pads

I am quite pleased that he is not too bright, they are going to have urban bases and I think after giving it some thought, the vehicles are going to look a bit weathered.

@Demoulius No, I bought the battleforce and some assault marines, My plan is to collect the whole battle company over the next few months, I am not made of money msn-wink.gif

@Zynk Kaladin/ChapelXIII yeah I think I will be going for some more battle damage as they get closer to completion, that one was more for testing the scheme.

@Res Ipsa Loquitur I will be having a go at a Castigon eventually, there is not a lot of info about him around is there? I can pretty much do what I like there biggrin.png

Anyway, I have some more painted to a basic standard, I will take a photo of those later, for now, I started to put together this guy last night;

Kitbashed from some forgeworld, death company and assault sprues, he will serve as Sergeant for my first tactical squad.

I have spent some time this week getting my first Tactical squad and Transport together, they are not finished yet, but well on their way

Few details left, but you get the general idea

I have also been working on the Rhino/Razorback transport for them

Again, still more details to be filled in, but things are progressing nicely smile.png

Next stop, some lovely lovely assault marines

cheers! he will stand out a lot more when i get the details down, he has a wing on his shoulder pad now just to add something, the assault marines are on the production line now so i can get everything to a table standard, then I will go back and add details, bases etc

  • 2 weeks later...

Right, been a while since an update, so here we go...

So far this is what we have, it is sort of evolving instead of getting one unit finished at a time, hopefully it will all end up table ready soon, and then as time goes by more little details being added, not a normal way of doing things I know, but there you go.

It consists so far of:

5x Death company (magnetized backpacks/jump packs) with a power fist and thunder hammer

1x 10 man tactical squad with power sword, plasma gun and heavy bolter

1x 5 man assault squad with power sword and melta gun

1x 5 man assault squad with power fist and melta gun

1 x Rhino/Razorback

1x Dreadnought (all weapon options being made up)

1x Captain... although they are now a total waste of points looking at the army book, so he will most likely end up a Sternguard sergeant

I also have a rather lovely box of 2nd edition death company, which are being stripped at the moment to become sternguard, and brother corbulo (cheers ebay)

And more marines and forgeworld parts for another 6 man tactical squad with a melta.

After all this is done I plan to increase the death company, get another Rhino/Razorback and probably a Baal Predator, I know that even with all the melta guns I have a distinct lack of anti tank weapons in this army, so am open to suggestions on what to get to counter that, maybe a Vindicator? Predator Annihilator?

Sorry about the picture quality by the way, I will post better pictures when they actually look better ;)



Oh yeah! and I have 2 Chaplains, one of which will probably lead the army :D
