War Angel Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Greetings fellow defenders of Terra! I know two things about blood angels, and it's more speculation really. 1: I think you all have blond hair... 2: your space vampires? Yup... That's about it. But the problem is, I'm making a late secret santa mini for one of your kind. (I was deployed up until thanksgiving so it's ok that I'm late....) So I'm making a commander with jet packs, any suggestion on things I can greenstuff, armor details, stuff like that? Thanks guys. Remember, your not doing it for me, but for one of your own. As they say in your culture "blood for the-" what do mean they don't say that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigted Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 If the guy you're making the mini for plays the Blood Angels chapter, and not a sucessor, you can't go wrong with winged blood drops. Even if it is a sucessor, blood drops still work. Chalice are good too. Angels also work. It would help if we knew the chapter. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quixus Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Bling is always good, we like ornate armour. In addition to the everpresent purity seals popular accoutrements are wings, blood drops, blood vials (see the DC box) and nipples This thread could give you some inspiration. Oh and blood for the bl...oody Emperor. Minor nitpick, we get jump packs. Jet packs are those things the fish heads use to zoom around the battlefield relentlessly.

War Angel Posted January 6, 2015 Author Share Posted January 6, 2015 Oh bloody hell. In my haste I mentioned an inferior races inferior technology instead of our blessed jump packs. My apologies. It's going to be a pure blood angel. How would the armor be painted? I'm goin to check that link now. Thanks guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
War Angel Posted January 6, 2015 Author Share Posted January 6, 2015 One more quick question. Commander with jump pack... What armaments does your commander prefer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigted Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 By commander I assume you mean captain. You can't go wrong with a power sword (which can double up as an ap 2 relic sword) and an infernus pistol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
War Angel Posted January 6, 2015 Author Share Posted January 6, 2015 Infernus pistol is a hand flamethrower? Correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan Blaire Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Infernus = Inferno pistol = Melta-pistol Hand flamer = Flamer pistol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolchiate Remembrancer Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 My recommendation: For inspiration, check out renaissance styled art and statues. Consider that most Blood Angels Captains reflect the duality of the angel Sanguinius himself. So brutal close combat loving freaks, but who also revere, protect and promote pure beauty, as human as it can be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

War Angel Posted January 7, 2015 Author Share Posted January 7, 2015 I'm getting a lot of crickets after I mentioned duel lightning claws.... So I'm going to be going with a sword and melta pistol.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spinsanity Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 How's duel lightning claws?Apparently, Brother Claudio likes 'em. Rules-wise, I think most gamers think there are better options. I personally prefer the look of swords to that of claws, except maybe MkII/MkIII-style claws (but these might not look BA-ish enough for some players)...

Quixus Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 How's duel lightning claws?Apparently, Brother Claudio likes 'em. Well he, being an assault terminator, only has the choice between those and a thunder hammer and storm shield. If you go with 2LC, be sure to give him a meltabomb or exchange one LC for a power fist. I don't know how keen you or your friend are on WYSIWYG, but maybe build weapons similar to those of Tyberos and use them as power fist and lightning claw if you prefer symmetry. BTW a few days agao, this thread popped up in the BA forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaz431 Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 I understand the desire for kitbash, but the master of executions would make a great jump captain, with the ap2 weapon from the codex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
War Angel Posted January 10, 2015 Author Share Posted January 10, 2015 I appreciate all of your help so much, I have started the kit bash, and I'm using parts from the death company box. Last question, what is the blood drop with a single slightly curved wing on it? By that I mean, where do I put this on a model? Would using both the left and right of these look awesome on his helm? Or would it be ok dark angely?. Is it for the shoulders legs.... How do you guys use it?. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No only would a helm with them look pretty dark angely, the wings would probably also be more oversized than the bat wings on the Nighht Lord helmets.
