marvmoogy Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Well, as things seem to be closing with my Space Wolves, I thought I'd pop me head up again over here and update you all on the BA plans I have. After getting Deathstorm and building them all as per the box, I decided to build a "small allied detachment". As per usual with my projects, this "small allied detachment now seems to be sitting at between 2-2500 points! On top of Deathstorm, I have a Libby & Fragioso Dreadnough, Tactical Squad, 10 more Death Company, 5 Sanguinary Guard, 2 Razorbacks (with assault cannon turrets) Mephiston, Sanguinary Priest, Captain, Sanguinor and will be buying a start collecting box to add in the Baal Pred and a second tactical squad. With any luck, these will be heading to the paint man within 8 weeks (got to get some building done!) then I get to that exciting place of waiting for painted minis to arrive! Oh, and I've just started reading Fear to Tread and I can't put it down! LutherMax and Rafen IX 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LutherMax Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 I like what I'm hearing Moogy! Look forward to seeing what sounds like an impressive force. Who's your paint man if you don't mind my asking? marvmoogy 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainHelion Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 The new GW brushes are pretty solid, way better than the old ones. I've got no experience with other brushes, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marvmoogy Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 @LutherMax I used a guy called Tony Smallwood for my Space Wolves and, just to break up the sea of grey, he painted up my Deathstorm box. Here's a pic of what I have so far... LutherMax, Aubéron, appiah4 and 1 other 4 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marine7312000 Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 (edited) Spent some time getting the armor painted for my ETL vow. I realized today just how helpful an airbrush is. A little over an hour using two brushes and my tactials' armor is done. Now on to details and non red items. I'm real happy with how they turned out. Pictures in my signature link.

Apparently they know their own rules that well that they think a force staff is Unwieldy and a good weapon because it can glance dreadnoughts. Ok...

He is stating that there isn't any point in the force axe as anything you need AP2 against will batter your poor librarian before he gets a swing in. It's better to be S6 at initiative and take on things vulnerable to instant death. Edited July 5, 2016 by Brother Tancred Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah well, it had pretty pictures so I was entertained. :) Those are awesome RedemptionNL! Dark and gritty just how I like Blood Angels. And that sergeant!Dark and gritty was what I was aiming for! :) And I'm very satisfied how the sergeant turned out. His pose was inspired by Michelangelo's frescoes in the Sistine Chapel where God gives Adam the finger, except now it's a Blood Angel spreading the gospel of hot combi-melta death. :D Brother Tancred 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frater Antodeniel Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 RedemptionNL : It is a beautiful piece of art that you produce. To add, i would say that those would made perfect exemples for the Charnel Guard chapter. The Shade of Dark Red / Marron used is indeed perfect for this descendant chapter. Finally, the pose are very dynamic and fit the whole painting job. Good Job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlo Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 Got a game against Orks tomorrow, got to decide on 1500 or 1850 though. Leaning towards 1500 because of time and transport constraints. Should be an absolute scrap - think I'm going to bring as fun a last as possible. Still, can't wait to bring squad Fire Storm to full effect against some boyz.

Xenith Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 Aside from the whole: "GW hates Blood Angels, they never think about us" / " Gods, the recent article GW posted on Blood Angels is teh suck" schtick, Has anyone noticed increased BA covereage recently? There's been a lot more painted BA in WD weekly, a few blogs on BA tanks, the start collecting BA box...does anyone think (hope?) GW are gearing up to something? Or is the increased coverage due to the release of the start collecting box? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slothysaur Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 One can hope. I really would like a gladius like DA has (flavored BA of course) in a new codex, or supplement. Just hope it's in the price range of AoD and not Exterminatus lol. But to keep in line with the BA today.... finally magnetized my stormraven! Now off to buy drop pod no. 5, and some bikes.
