Really like the Blood Angels upgrades.

Having looked at them for a while - I love the torsos, the pads are good, but some of the helms I'm just not feeling. Again the bare head seems a little pudgy (with a bad haircut), and I'm not loving the slit eye lenses on the MkIV - I much prefer the standard lens pattern. 

 

Overall a good release, but I'm more pleased that GW have finally got around to doing what they should have done from the beginning:

  • Prioritsed release of pads and upgrade packs to enable players to build out Legion forces whilst rules / units / characters are being developed
  • Bundled together releases of torsos, helms, and pads rather than drip-feeding them over a period of time. 

As I said in the News and Rumors thread, Forge World needed to bring more heat than this. The Blood Angels have a wealth of plastic bling available and at reasonably low prices thanks to Deathstorm and Ebay bits sellers. Not sure if this release competes with kits like the Death Company or the new Tactical Squad, fully half of which can be built as accurate pre-Heresy Blood Angels right out of the box.

I have to agree. First thing I said to my 30k group message was "I'd rather have the 40k bitz". They look better, and I honestly like them more.

 

First one to pose Malcharion over a dead Raguel the Sufferer wins a cookie!!!! ;)

 

Is it ever mentioned how Malcharion gets maimed?

He beats himself up because he wanted to take a nice nap in a sarcophagus ;)
