As always I'm stunned by your work. Great job!

[Bjorn Firewalker]

Well done.

[Majkhel]

Beautiful! The front plate with the name barely visible is fantastic! Be proud :)

[neonmole]

Captain Barachiels vessel, the lead gunship “Imperius” ready for action!

 

 

Last one and the ancients banner tomorrow... which is the last day before my flight. Wouldn’t be a tournament if it wasn’t the way...!

[Bjorn Firewalker]

Good job on the Repulsors.

[Othniel's Blade]

Beautiful. Simply beautiful.

[Blindhamster]

im really interested in how you've done the silver parts on them, looks great!

 

[neonmole]

@Blindhamster

 

The silver is pretty easy, it’s the same actually as on the boltgun metal of my intercessors.

- base coat of Vallejo metal colour aluminium

- gloss varnish

- nuln oil gloss all over

- AK interactive streaking grime all over (on the normal parts this is a sort of thinned wash, on the large bits like the grav plates I actually steak it properly)

- lahmian median all over to matte down

- highlight with the aluminium colour again!

 

In practice it’s pretty simple, basically all wash type techniques.

 

Thanks for the kind words guys!

[neonmole]

So, I am thrilled to report, that the project is completed!

 

I fly to Gibraltar for No Retreat tomorrow, but before that, I wanted to share the completed army.

 

With that, I give you the speartip of the Novus Sanguine! (or "new blood")

 

Background:

 

The Novus Sanguine were the first Primaris Blood Angels to arrive on Baal, with Robute Guilliman, to break Hive Fleet Leviathans siege of the Arx Angelicum. As the first of the new, they are referred to as the "11th Company, and are commanded by Captain Barachiel, the 11th Captain - now known by his honorific title "Brother Barachiel, First of the Novus Sanguine, Liberator of Baal". This force represents the spear tip of the Novus Sanguine, charged with leading the assault, and specialising in the time honoured Blood Angels way of war...

 

Captain Barachiel, First of the Novus Sanguine and Liberator of Baal.

 

 

 

Lieutenant Ramial, The Sword of Sanguinius.

 

 

 

Brother Teus, Exemplar of the Novus Sanguine.

 

 

 

 

Custodes Sanguine, led by Veteran Sergeant Brother Helel.

 

 

Vitae Alpha, led by Veteran Sergeant Brother Israfel.

 

 

Vitae Beta, led by Squad Leader Brother Zuriel

 

 

Angelus Alpha, led by Veteran Brother Sergeant, and Novus Sanguine champion duelist, Brother Raziel.

 

 

Angelus Beta, led by Squad Leader Brother Zachiel.

 

 

Lead Gunship, and Flagship of Brother Barachiel: "The Imperius".

 

 

 

 

Flanking Gunship: "The Emperor's Shield".

 

 

Flanking Ginship: "The Praetorian".

 

 

The Speartip Assembled...

 

 

So there you have it! I hope you like them. I really had an amazing time working on the project. The fluff and characters emerged organically as I was modelling and painting it, as I didn't do much of it in groups, and as such had time while painting individual models to thinking about their backstory, and who they might be based on how I imagined them while painting. I was also listening to Dante and Devestation of Baal at one point which obviously had a huge influence!

I will report back following No Retreat to let you know how the games go!

 

Until then, Cheers!

[Blindhamster]

absolutely stunning work brother. really impressed with these!

 

consider the idea of the numerals for squad idents stolen!

[Aqui]

Looking amazing! ^_^ Could you tell me what the blue is you used for the vehicle stripe and cloak? I'm going to reboot my (Blue) DIY successor eventually, and that shade of blue is perfect.

 

Good luck in Gibraltar! ^_^

[BluejayJunior]

Those are absolutely beautiful. I am quite jealous.

[Panzer]

This might be my favorite Blood Angels army here. Just saying. Amazing work! :tu:

[Mostwanted]

Fantastic to see it all together and well done for getting it done on time. I enjoyed seeing this all come together. Good luck!

I may have missed it but how were the "No Retreat" letters done on the banner?

[Zebulon]

These are excellent, and are close to being enough to get me into Primares. I need to shift my backlog first mind you. You’ve achieved a really high quality finish.

 

Also, I know it’s a typo but I am liking the idea of a “Ginship” :p :tu:

[neonmole]

Ha. Ginship. I like the sound of it too... I’m leaving it!

 

Thanks for the kind words guys, I’ll let you know how it fares in Gib!

[Bjorn Firewalker]

Your Primaris Marines are well done.

[Aothaine]

The No Retreat on the banner is a GREAT touch! Have fun at No Retreat!

 

Really wish they would record the games there in TTT style.

[brother_b]

Wow the printing of No Retreat is amazing. You're an artist and this is actually some of my favorite painting ever.

[robofish7591]

That is one fantastic looking army!  You should be featured on warhammer community or something.

[Bjorn Firewalker]

Also, I know it’s a typo but I am liking the idea of a “Ginship”

Have the Blood Angels adopted the Black Templars ritual of using STRONG DRINKs as liquid pain gloves, to test themselves?

[Majkhel]

Absolutely stunning!   Good luck on the tables 

[Charlo]

I've already given you all the compliments I can brother!

 

Did you ever post your list for No Retreat? Would love to see it & eagerly await results from the games :D

[synthaside]
