Paladin777 Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 Nice completion Were they easy to build? They were really quite easy. Just make sure to take off the sprue as you assemble and not beforehand. Overall I think all 10 took maybe 2 1/2 hours-ish.

Jolemai Posted March 3, 2018 Author Share Posted March 3, 2018 I DBH, first of his name, rise to the troops challenge of Blood and Zeal and vow to build 1 squad of Scout Marines with Bolters, a heavy bolter for a PL of 4 on or before 2359 UTC March 5th, 2018. Success will bring honour to the Blood Angels whilst failure is not an option... I will be using respirator heads as a swap, with a few minor other changes. Swapping bolters, adding some assault blades for looks etc. Hoping to get this finished tonight/tomorrow morning. Just not enough time to do everything I want. Vow completed Completion logged, well done. I think I need to source some heads like these for my Land Speeder Storm 2nd Vow, a full 10 man tactical squad composed from the Space Marine Heroes collection series. I may do a couple head swaps. nothing major though. I DBH, first of his name, rise to the troops challenge of Blood and Zeal for a second time and vow to build 1 Sergeant with grav-pistol and chain sword 7 Tactical marines 1 specialist with plasma gun 1 heavy with heavy bolter for a PL of 9 on or before 2359 UTC March 5th, 2018. Success will bring honour to the Blood Angels whilst failure is not an option. All the best with vow #2. These should be straightforward?

Jolemai Posted March 3, 2018 Author Share Posted March 3, 2018 I Mcrat rise to the Troops challenge of Blood & Zeal and vow to build 1 unit of 5 Intercessors for a combined total of 5 PL on or before 2359 UTC March 5th, 2018. Success will bring honour to the Blood Angels, whilst failure is not an option... Vow complete! Only modifications to the DI set was to carve off the molded shoulder pads to replace them with BA ones, and add a little flair to the sergeant's backpack. Edit* Forgot, I also carved off the sergeant's wrist and magnetised it to allow for future chainswords/power swords. Looking good! How easy was the shoulderpad work? Completion logged!

Jolemai Posted March 3, 2018 Author Share Posted March 3, 2018 My vow also completed: Both squads: First squad: Second squad: Now the changes I've made are as follows: 1. Sergeants: - head swaps (SG and BA Upgrade sprues), - skull on the chestplates remodelled to blood drops, - Bolters on straps (originally on right arms) moved to left arm and back respectively, - chainswords (DC and Veterans sprues) added (some hand cutting/adjustments here), - extended pistol magazine added to the hand grip, - shoulder pads added from DC, BA Upgrade and Veterans sprues 2. Marines: - Shoulder pads added for each with BA iconography (DC, BA Upgrade, BA Primais Upgrade sprues), - lots of daggers added from SG, BA Upgrade, SW and original Primaris sprues, - 3 helmets swaps (DC and Veterans sprues), - 3 backpack swaps (DC sprue), - 1 bayonet conversion, - lots of devotional trinkets added (BA Upgrade and BA Primaris Upgrade sprues) - few sights swaps/add ons as box-fed bolt rifles had none, and few long ones added in place of the standard ones I generally kept the sickle magazines with just a few rifles sporting box magazines which I simply like a lot I'm especially happy with the blood drop conversion on the chest plates and extended magazine for the bolt pistol on the sergeant. Excellent work! You seem to be enjoying the event so far Out of interest, what undercoat have you used? Were your tweaks straightforward?

Jolemai Posted March 3, 2018 Author Share Posted March 3, 2018 Updated to here 50 hours to go, just pace yourselves and you'll do fine. Have to say I'm a little surprised at the dearth of metal Scouts submitted...

Mcrat Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 Looking good! How easy was the shoulderpad work? Completion logged! Some arms are easier than others, but it's not too bad. After doing a few of them now I'm getting less scared of ruining the model. Still have to be careful as some of the shoulders have a hollow inside so if you cut too deep you'll be left with not much to glue the pad on to. But just chop away until you hit that spot and then be careful.

Dont-Be-Haten Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 Yeah Jol they should be straight forward. A simple head swap or two should make these bloke BA right proper.

Ekfud Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 The camo looks solid, can't tell the difference from the plastic and green stuff ones; congrats on your completion Anything lined up for the subsequent rounds? Thanks - I have the rest of what would have originally been a command squad in mind for the elites; champion, banner and novitiate. That's probably it though for Blood & Zeal; don't think I've got anything else I can line up for the other blocks.

Majkhel Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 Excellent work! You seem to be enjoying the event so far Out of interest, what undercoat have you used? Were your tweaks straightforward? Thanks for the list of bits Yes The modelling part was always the greatest fun for me Undercoat is thinned down Mephiston Red applied with the brush. It takes time, but now we have around -10 degrees Celsius at all times in Poland. So not very good for spraying. The tweaks were mostly straightforward as it took long enough to assemble the guys from the parts pile And I always search for poses that would satisfy me which also takes time. For the Elites I plan to vow VanVets, a Contemptor (not the FW unfortunately ) and if the parts arrive - a DC dread Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/344800-bz-2018-blood-angels-troops-stratagem/page/4/#findComment-5024672 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zebulon Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 Vow Complete. I had intended to provide a complete list of what bits came from where, but somewhere along the way I lost focus. Here's what I can confirm: Sgt: legs from SM Captain/Commander; torso from company champion in Command Squad; hand flamer from BA tactical squad; chainsword from Sternguard Veterans Pointy Marine: legs from SM tactical squad, torso from BA tactical squad; bolter arm from sternguard veterans; pointing arm from SM command squad. The other three are again a mix mostly of SM tactical, BA tactical and sternguard veterans. Knifey dude head definitely from Vanguard Vets box. Beyond that I forget. EDIT: It is also amazing how what look reasonably hi-res, well focused photos on a phone look when shown on a proper screen...

The Unseen Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 Though my fingers may be covered in super glue, (and a little Blood from where I slipped once), my Vow is Completed! { } The Sergeants all got swords from the DC box, (2 chain, 1 power), and everyone has at least 1 Blood Angel shoulder pad, from the Primaris Upgrade kit, or the same box of DC.
