About halfway through Darkness in the Blood. I wish Mephiston was as good on the table top as he is on the Dominance...

Why is it our characters always seem to get let down by their tabletop representations? Dante and the Sanguinor both suffer from this as well. They are not bad, they are just not as good as they should be.

still stand by the belief that part of it comes down to nobody in design teams championing BA.

Not to say that we suck (Blood Angels have done reasonably okay in most editions, just 4th/6th/7th that was iffy for them), but I think without a huge fan involved, their codex writing is generally just a rehash and fairly called in from both a lore and mechanics perspective. Characters like Dante should really have been a good melee character but an excellent commander, Sanguinor should be daemon level (and who knows... maybe he will be if rumours are true) and Mephiston should be daemon prince psyker level, he already got his model so i'd not bet on him getting a rules update to fit his lore.

Today I got distracted from the Kratos, but I like where this is going :biggrin:

Managed to  bring them on par with the Heavy Intercessors in terms of height!

Greaves seem a bit short. But if I make them longer, I'll need to increase their width too as they will lack bulk... Definintely need to build up the waist though.
Magnets in the shoulders obviously, hence a little strange setup of shoulder plates as they are attached to the torso.

Covid has me down for the count this week. So I've been day dreaming and thinking about my CBs and what fun I could do with them.

Firstly my main primaris company is going to be the 3rd company. White blood drops look good next to the chapter badge. For Calen I've intended him to pass the Rubicon Primaris for a while now, but can't decide on how to approach him. Should I just grab a flesh tearer head and stick it into the gravis captain? Or should I wait to see if we get the fabled blood angel wave per the 10th Ed rumors?

Anyways cheers for the ramblings. Hope everyone is still staying safe!

Aw, sorry to hear, take care!
As for crossing the Rubicon - it's always an interesting project redoing a particular character. Keep the head? Keep the equipment or some characteristic trinket? Keep the pose? I personally wouldn't wait for a new wave if I had an interesting project in my head :smile: You can always make another Captain

He has a white knee pad with a red blood drop as his personal insignia.

I made him and painted him for our last Feast of Blades (FoB). He's a smash captain, and so I am unsure how to approach him as a primaris. Especially since there are no current Jump pack captains or the option to have a thunder hammer.

JP is the actual question here. TH you could swap for a Relic Blade do a RB/SS Captain and call it a day. But JP... If 10th ed. introduces jump infantry it doesn't automatically mean we get a jump captain as well. If Dante drops then it increases the chances for that although we all remember Shrike. 

While I believe we will get a JP option for captains eventually, it might still be some time before that. But you can always magnetize, right? Make RB/SS Captain ready-made to accept JP and TH in the future :wink:
Or don't glue the backpack too strongly. I did my Assault Intercessors that way, with backpacks glued only with enough CA glue for them to not fall-off with the slightest breeze.

Hope it's mild and you feel better soon DBH!

The new variants are more mild, but much more easily caught. I basically feel like I have the Flu. It sucks but thank you so much Jole.

@Majkhel in the past you couldn't take a relic blade + storm shield, but i guess you can now...a Storm Shield fills like a waste of points with AoC these days. His nickname is "The Blood Hammer" which I've thought about making a fancy TH and calling it a RB. I'll need to play around with a few models to decide what kind of model I want to make.

Awesome work! Love the Detail on the Squad Markings. Did you freehand them all or are they Transfers? If they are Transfers, where did you get them?

Thanks !!

Some of them are freehand, other transfers.
The drop on the right shoulder is a yellow transfer painted in black. I found them in the tactical, devastator and assault boxes and in some starter set like dark imperium (and maybe indomitus).
Same Things for the drop with wings on the left shoulder. It’s a transfer that come from the same kits.

On the knee

  • skulls come from Skitarii transfer sheet
  • Drops are freehands
  • Cross are freehands
  • Lightnings for the assault squad are freehands
  • Little Wing for the devastator squad are both freehand and transfers. For the 2de squad I found that GW sell a Blood Angels only infantery transfer sheet with the intercessor Blood Angels kit. It was a box with a normal intercessor kit + the Blood Angels upgrade. They don’t sell them anymore.
  • The Banner is a freehand
