TheHyperion Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Greetings Sons of Sanguinius!I am currenly coming up with a new idea for my dad for his blood angels army for his brithday. I had made a topic earlier titles death company which I discussed painting white with people and got many helpful hints(thanks btw). But I have recently discovered that my Dad does not like successor chapters, so I need to come up with something new to do, the white death company from angels encarmine are no bueno. I would like to paint maybe a dreadnought (furioso kit) but I definitely want to paint something unique to the blood angels codex (or at least something that is common for them like an assault squad) I would like my model(s) to stand out from the rest without being a special character( I dont trust myself to paint that high of quality).Thanks from the Rock!~Sapphon Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/307668-advice-wanted-blood-angel-tips-would-be-appreciated/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golden Aegis Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 There's nothing wrong with choosing their original colors, there's something to be said about 30+ red angry Marines closing the gap quickly between you and your opponent. I have to say the Sanguinary guard kit is absolutely gorgeous.

Silverson Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Well I think you have a good option in the librarian dreadnought as it is unique to blood angels and has a large base colour in red but also allows you a bit of freedom in the fact that he is a librarian. Also with very little work it can be magnetised to the furiso with all variations.

Vel'Cona Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 I'm a huge fan of the Furioso in general, but if you want something fun and unique maybe look for a Death Company Dreadnought on Ebay or something (from the Shield of Baal: Deathstorm box); could probably get it on the cheap, too!

TheHyperion Posted May 16, 2015 Author Share Posted May 16, 2015 Ok coo, thanks everyone, I think I will be making the right switch then, I don't know which dreadnought I'll paint but make sure to update this when I get there. If anyone has other ideas (curiousity) I would be glad to hear them!

CorbuloDIY Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 How about a Tactical or Assault squad using the older Marks of power Armour.

TheHyperion Posted May 16, 2015 Author Share Posted May 16, 2015 I kinda like that idea except I am thinking hed want his army a bit more uniform than that (other than his tac squad, baal predator, land raider all being from 2nd ed....)

Xenith Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 How about a new toy for this codex, then? 5 man melta assault squad in a drop pod? 5 man plasma assault squad in a rhino? A unit he may not have used before. Sanguinary guard?

knife&fork Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 I kinda like that idea except I am thinking hed want his army a bit more uniform than that (other than his tac squad, baal predator, land raider all being from 2nd ed....) Command squads could use a different mark of armor. It makes sense for them to have non uniform gear compared to the line infantry. Also a new toy from the new codex.
