I managed to paint 27 Blood Angels model in 2021.
HQ: Primaris Chaplain, Primaris Chaplain on bike, Sanguinary Priest/Brother Corbulo, Primaris Lieutenant
Troops: 10 Heavy Intercessors
Elites: 5 DC Intercessors, 4 Bladeguard Veterans, Leviathan dreadnought
Fast Attack: Storm Speeder
Heavy Support: Firestrike servo-turret
Transports: Impulsor

(to keep things relatively short, I've chosen mostly group shots whenever I made them):

2021 was a bit of a quiet year as I focussing a lot on my Wolves but I managed to squeeze a couple of sons of Sanguinius in the mix too.

Fantastic work, fantastic effort. You should have looked into the 12M Challenge in The Forge given you essentially did it last year - never anything wrong with a little more inventive.

The Mk IV Dreadnought is a rare sight in BA colours too

Fawning over those bases aside, your red and black schemes still pop out really well on camera. Are they the same irl?

What colour for the black drybrush highlight?

Thanks, it may be a bit oldschool but I like it.

 

I use the old Fortress Grey to highlight my black but it is nearly exhausted now so I will have to experiment with some other shades to try and get a match.

And yes, I already pledged a Sicaran battle tank for Blood Angels :D

From my plog:

So as we have reached the end of 2021 and start our journey into 2022, I did a quick photoshoot of all the stuff I painted in 2021:

And the BA specifically:

A little less than last year, but still a decent amount - that's:

Mephiston; Bladeguard Lt; 3x Bladeguard; 4x Sanguard; Sanguard Ancient; 3 Eliminators; 3 eradicators; 4 infiltrators; 1 intercessor; 3 outriders; 1 Invictor; 1 Crusader; 1 Stalker; 1 Contemptor Dread; Sicaran Venator.

Excellent work and progress, thanks for sharing them! Much more planned for next year?

I did okay with my Blood Angels in 2021.

It is still a hefty amount, yes. Any chance I'll be seeing the red guys next month?

Another good showing from our painters last year! How are they differing from your DAs and will we have any updates this year?

Comparatively, my Dark Angel battle company marines (green armor) are easier to paint, BUT I can make my Blood Angels look better. So it's a trade off? For my DA's I have a thread going in the Dark Angel sub forum. I doubt I paint just my Dark Angels all year, so I'm sure I will end up finishing some more Blood Angel units in 2022. :)

Looks like it's going to be a quiet one for the Blood Angels this year after a busy couple. I have a Storm Hawk/Talon, an Impulsor and a Leviathan Dread on the pile, plus anything from my unbuilt pile of Conquest mags that ends up assigned to them and I will probably pik up a few issues of Imperium (hopefully the ATV) and any cool new Marines they release.

I would love a trio of ATVs with a Jump Priest to heal/Res them. The lack of core is not really a problem and the rest of my buffing characters tend to be elsewhere.

(They can't do that as per the FAQ)

 

Anymore shots from 2021?

I had somehow missed that. How disappointing.

 

Oh well, at least I don't have to go hunting for ATV issues of Imperium when it comes out.
