Cleon Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 I've been playing Blood Angels for what feels like forever - some of you may recognise the name stolen from the squad veteran of Sgt Raphael's squad in the second edition box set's 'Battle for Armageddon: scenarios' leaflet - Veteran Brother Cleon alone held the bridge as the last Ork fell in our first play through and three decades later I'm still hooked.... For the last couple of years I've been painting up a modern Primaris based force to compliment the glorious brothers of the second and third companies (better known as the slightly orange monopose tactial squads, and the first generation multipart plastics) that have done me proud over the years and at some point I vaguely remember Jolemai suggesting I showcase them, and well I have pretty much got them done now, so before I put them away to clear my game table for the next game, I went through and took a bunch of pictures.... High level 'arrgh there's not enough room to back away to take this properly' picture... Fifth Company: Fourth Company Demi Company detachment: And the (slightly better) unit close up shots, spoiler tagged for ease of navigation and split up because of the picture limit... Command staff The Captains, Captain Sandini of the 5th (Primaris) with his four loadouts and Captain Raphaen of the 4th (Firstborn) The Librarius The Reclusiarachy The Priesthood (with Mephiston showing up because he wasn't blue so didn't make the Libarius group on the first pass....) First Company Honour guard detachment lead by Lt Athenos Fifth (Daemonbanes) Company Battleline Squad 1 - Auto bolt rifle Intercessors Squad 2 - Heavy Intercessors Squad 3 - Bolt rifle Intercessors Squad 4 - Bolt rifle Intercessors Squad 5 - Infiltrators Squad 6 - Incursors Fourth (Knights of Baal) Company Battleline Squad 1 - Tactical (The last squad I painted in Blood Red after the paint range changed) Squad 2 - Tactical Squad 3 - Tactical Close support Squad 4 - Assault Intercessors Squad 5 - Outriders Fire support Squad 6 - Devastator Vehicles 1 Contemptor (based up for a HH force I never started...)

Cleon Posted December 1, 2021 Author Share Posted December 1, 2021 Excellent collection, thanks for finally bringing it over Just needs more Firstborn now... Well, if you want Firstborn, I really have to go back to the last time the army got a serious re-tool, back in 5th Edition when the Archangels got a serious rework, I like to think my painting has come on a bit since these guys and to be honest looking back now the 25mm bases don't do the power armour guys any favours... Company Command Terminators Power armour (one Librarian needed an emergency base fix before a game and never got his texture re-done...) Terminators Tactical Terminators Assault Terminators One squad is a man short as the banner bearer lived in that squad when it was allowed... I do have an extra one of the Space Hulk Lightening Claws guy to backfill to build and paint somewhere.... Sternguard Vanguard Amazing work Cleon! What's amazing is that those photos are just of your Primaris How many points do you reckon you have? Thanks, but points is tricky as GW keep changing the things... The largest force I deployed in a single Apoc game was 8,000 back in 5th edition when the Ironhelms deployed in full company strength with support from the Archangels in a mirror match against the perfidious Dark Angles 5th company and some Deathwing, that's probably just over a quarter of what I have if I were to break out everyone going all the way back to second edition days. I'm probably a little light on vehicles compared to my infantry, but that's because they've mostly had one or two versions whereas the troops have been re-done and improved multiple times over the years.
