TCC Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 Hey, new to this area (spend most my time in the Imperial Guard section), but I have a Blood Angel army that I have been collecting and painting over COVID, it’s just over 2000pts so I decided to give them a try out in combat (their first time) against the new nids codex - it was over by turn two, lots and lots of mortal wounds killed of my terminators and dreadnought. Anyway, it was fun. Bouargh, BadgersinHills, Jolemai and 2 others 5 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolemai Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 (edited) It being fun is the most important part tbh Edited April 15, 2022 by Jolemai TCC, Morticon and Helias_Tancred 3 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BloodyB Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 Welcome to the Blood Angel's side of this forum! Blood for the Blood Emperor! Skulls for the Golden Throne! Glad to see you enjoyed the game, that means you're playing the army right! Oooh I really like those plastic circles around the objectives! Seconded! Are they an indicator for being in scoring distance? I might need to get someting like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they an indicator for being in scoring distance? I might need to get someting like that. they do mark the area for being in range of the objective - I bought them from Amazon - it makes playing the objective easy https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B09MYC9GL6/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_97XA21N08J96TNAGKYYE?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 Edited April 16, 2022 by TCC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonaides Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 I looked up some free stock images of crosshairs to print onto laminate sheets. It's quite simple to find something you customise if you can do a bit of photoshop fiddling or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Majkhel Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 Loving those bases! Also the scripture on the cloths and seals - must be some good read If only those barrels were <cough> less clogged <cough, cough> ;) Helias_Tancred 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also the scripture on the cloths and seals - must be some good read If only those barrels were <cough> less clogged <cough, cough> ha about the barrels, shame GW opt for cheap tooling without any sliders that could mould them in. I’m loathed to get the drill out, because if I do it and they are not perfectly centred I would be even more annoyed.

Leonaides Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 There are ways... I'm hardly the best at drilling barrels but it does make a surprising difference. Helias_Tancred, Majkhel and madlibrarian 3 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helias_Tancred Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 I would recommend the Army Painter hand drill if you need to get one? I've used an ancient one I had from 1990, the GW one, and now the AP one. The latter proved the best of the three and my barrel holes have gotten better vs using the others? .. lol or it could be more practice? ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Majkhel Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 Mark the places with a pin first. If right, deepen them a bit - helps a ton and drill will not go sideways so easily.A good tool as Helias Tancred suggests also goes a long way in making the job done right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paternus Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 I find the use of pcb drills by hand useful to locate centres. They also can be used to hand drill metal to create holes for pinning (remember to periodically reverse to clear the cuttings as if they jam and snap there almost impossible to remove).

Paladin777 Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 Nice! Very clean paint job. TCC 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCC Posted July 16, 2022 Author Share Posted July 16, 2022 Some of the other units that are painted. Smash Captain (kit bashed using a cloak from a terminator captain, sanguinary torso, death company bits and a terminator shield). Lieutenant kit bashed to look old school and a few other units ended up adding magnets into the base and therefore covered the base to hide them (all my units I need to transport have magnets in the bases and I use the really useful box with magnetic strips to hold the minis in place - I find it works well and is very quick to pack away).

Majkhel Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 (edited) I really dig that Lieutenant Well done. I think I'll need to make one Primarisized one day.

My painting and modelling skills (and standards) have come along from when I painted this guys - 1.5 years back, there is more I’m sure I could touch up. madlibrarian 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TCC Posted September 1, 2022 Author Share Posted September 1, 2022 Played a competitive new chaos list, it was very tough and the fight on death army wide rule really gave them an advantage. Dante models first outing and he killed two key characters, the demon prince was killed by fight after death so Dante sacrificed himself. It was a fun game and I felt like I played the objectives as well as I could with the army I had. Bouargh and Majkhel 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
