Importantly, I think a BA intercessor kit would have had a mix of poses, more like the grey hunters have (so some running, some walking, some stood still).

 

For sure; I would even love a few that were more feral poses like Lemartes, then they'd make great DC fodder as well!

Now... obviously the actual REASON crusader squads, blood claws and grey hunters got kits, where BA and DA didn't get an intercessor kit is because the former are actual distinct units, with distinct options, where for us its "just" appearance, so harder to justify for GW no doubt. But it doesn't change that it kinda sucks and would be nice for us to have a bit more in the way of visual identity.

 

But that's just a cop out for GW because DC could've just been our "Blood Angel troop that kinda works for the rest of the army"; they don't need to have as much Saltire adornment as previously but just basic BA adornment with some Saltire shoulderpads and maybe a few helmets, then their bodies could've been used all over in different combinations.  DA got a little bit of this with their Deathwing Knight kit, at least if you're a fan of 1st company stuff, as those terminator bodies can be dispersed amongst regular terminators for Sgt's and even just useful bits.  We just got kinda forgotten on that metric which is a bummer.

BUT, the best part of being this low, is that there's only really room to go up!  So I am more hopeful for the future.

Im honestly shocked nobody has made STLs for BA intercessor upgrades. (as in, shins, torso fronts) as that alone would help elevate the existing intercessors. People have done it for the terminators.
