TheHerald Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 So, I have been playing off and on since the long lost days of second edition, but I haven't really been much for painting until the last for weeks. So, I decided to go with an old familiar friend and decided to play the blood angels, as I played them every time I have decided to dabble in the grimdark future that is wallethammer. So, I picked up a box of Sanguinary guard, the new tactical squad and the sanguinary priest blister. First off, I want to say I love the 30 mm bases. Space marines occupy more space than a guardsmen. I plan on a lot of base modeling with future projects. Anyway, I opened and assembled the TAC squad with flamers and (the below pictured) Vet. Sargent HOLY MOLDLINES BATMAN! The models were nice, but I can feel the effects of the new digital sculpting. It felt nice to have something made just for the blood angels, but it was a little lack luster. It needed an update IMHO. It was nice to come back to the hobby with a new roster of cool models to pick up, but I would have rather had a plastic Vampire Jesus... The sanguinary guard went together smoothly, with nothing to notable as they were out last time I had an army... The sanguinary priest, the one model that cost as much as a a box of Death company, was a little wonky to assemble, the robes seems would not line up, save for some filing... So, here is my WIP Blood angels. I have a long way to go still, but here they are... I am looking for suggestions and or constructive criticism... Talking trash is to easy these days lmao!! http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/gallery/album/10643-blood-angels/ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/305304-restarting-the-engines/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlo Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Welcome back to the fold fellow scion of Sanguinius! Love that standard bearer and your paint style. Keep it up and shower us in more models and hopefully some battle reports. 32mm is the future though, I got 50 of the suckers to rebase all my old models :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/305304-restarting-the-engines/#findComment-3991775 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolemai Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Welcome to Bolter and Chainsword! Just a question about your WIPs (which are looking great so far), did you use a different recipe for the gold on the Sanguinary Guard and the Veteran's helmet?

TheHerald Posted March 30, 2015 Author Share Posted March 30, 2015 Hey thanks guys! For the Standard bearer I did a base of Gahenna Gold with coats of A Earthshade then AA gold on top. The Sgt I just did AA Gold and then a wash of earthshade.
