Blood Angels Upgrade from FW (FW Bulletin #72)


Brother Tyler

Recommended Posts

I'm really just curious about what our unique units will be. Fear to Tread doesn't reveal anything we didn't already know from 5th edition- Sanguinary Guard. I have not hashed through all the HH series- really just a few here and there- but have future Forge World Legion specific units (not characters) been foreshadowed in the novels? And if so were does that leave us?

The Blood Angels are known for their rapid assaults, descending with the speed and ferocity of the avenging angels of ancient myth. Despite their Primarch’s close bond with the arch-traitor Horus, the IXth Legion could not be turned to the Warmaster cause and fought to defend the Imperium of Mankind.

i know now someone who is very very very happy (no! not Jolemai! biggrin.png) msn-wink.gif

Anyone else notice the rim on the MKIV pad is thicker than the standard MKIV pad? This is a good thing as the normal ones were too thin really and prone to casting defects, but they do look mis-matched... I wonder if plain plastic pads would work better next to the FW BA ones...

One of you gents in the UK will have to let the rest of us know for sure how they look. I'm not a huge fan of the legion symbol on the pads and I'm really tempted to try GSing my own but I'll probably end up buying a couple sets of the MK III.

So I love the heads and what not (and waking up to Atia's message about how they are finally here) was AWESOME, I'm curious to know what inspired the squinty eyes?  Never mind, I assume it was art from the Horus Heresy art books? Is that right?

I think they're inspired by Ancient Greek helms.
