Ahistorian Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 Hi guys, I'm getting an army of the new Death Guard in the summer, and I intend to do them up as Dornian Blood Angels. Does anyone have any ideas on what they'd do kitbash/conversion-wise? I have plenty of standard BA transfers, so that and red armour wouldn't be an issue. My current thoughts have only come up with: Chapter-specific bolter/power weapon swaps, probably from Sanguinary Guard or BA Tactical squads Raptors with SA masks Sanguinary glaive sword-blades on scythes to turn them into actual glaives I'm not terribly well read on the difference between 30k and 40k BA though, and would like the army to taste more of the latter. I have a couple of Rhinos and a Land Raider for transports, and hope to add a Hellbrute or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panzer Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 I'd honestly just use the DG models as they are and kitbash some of them with Jump Packs. Probably from Warp Talons with some green stuff work to make them more nurgley. DG models don't really have DG symbolic anyway. They mostly have nurgle symbolic which would be fine for Dornian Heresy BA. That being said I'm not really interested in alternative universes so I could be wrong with that.

Xenith Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 Ooh, looking forward to seeing the DG in BA colours! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahistorian Posted June 4, 2018 Author Share Posted June 4, 2018 I have some resin FW jumppacks which should look grand :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd actually advise against that, the Dornian Blood Angels have a very different aesthetic compared to canon Plague Marines, where the DG are bloated and bulbous to the point of their armour bursting open the DH BA are gaunt and withered, wretched things, slowly decaying from Nurgle's unwelcome gifts to the point that they launch raids mostly to capture humans with compatible blood and organs to replace their failing ones. Here's a few visual examples: https://i.pinimg.com/736x/f9/84/9f/f9849f52c4cf6fbbcecad6dc9a6263a6--space-marine-warhammer-.jpg http://www.scuzworks.com/misc/scuz%20BA.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panzer Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Well yeah then it's a bad advice I guess. As said I'm not really interested in alternative universes written by fans so I've no clue about the actual content of the Dornian Heresy. ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord_Caerolion Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 Maybe buy a box of Zombies, to have some heads to use, and potential limb-swaps for the hands/arms? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloated Blood Angels would certainly be plausible - after all, isn't the core of the Dornian Heresy a "What if" exploration of the setting?

Ahistorian Posted June 9, 2018 Author Share Posted June 9, 2018 I have some zombie limbs, good shout. I may add a few of the more vampiric BA heads here and there too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
