Brother that’s Dexter Morgan.

Well, no BA-specific Jump Captain, but most of the spare bits from this lad should work fine on the generic. Or just slap a jump pack on this guy and use a matching weapon set. 

[Casual Heresy]

An interesting wee thing: in one of the promo images GW is using on FB, there is a version of the captain painted as Death Company. May indicate Death Company captains are back via enhancements or data sheet options?

 

[Orange Knight]

Both of these are excellent.

I wish there was something more going on with SP backpack, like on HH and older Apothecaries.  A normal backpack with a bulb is very bland, buth that's a problem shared with other Primaris Apothecaries.

I didn't see that! I like that the cape is optional. Means I can buy a few of these and make a fancy sergent too.

I think the Death Co. Brutalis we've seen IS the new Death Co. Dread. You can also use your old box 'nought Death Co. Dread as one but those brapples are now just for show.

...Actually, Death Company Brutalis is still probably replacing the "Death Company Dreadnaught" datasheet, tho it's possible the old boxnaught loadout stays in as a wargear choice...

 

I don't think it's possible for the "Brutalis + Upgrade bits/painted black" and the current Death Company Dreadnought (which is part of the kit with the Furioso and Librarian Dred) to share a single datasheet.

 

Mostly due to the size difference (90mm base vs a 60mm base, and the one towering over the other).

Both models are good, but I have a couple of hang ups with the Sanguinary Priest. It's nothing that can't be fixed with a conversion. The only big issue I have with these are the somewhat generic weapons. The discontinued Blood Angels Primaris Lieutenant had a single bladed power sword and the old Sanguinary Priest had a chainsword fit that really fit the style of the Blood Angels.

Dat drill servo skull with the SP

 

great looking kits both of them

You can probably nick bitz from other BA kits to decorate as you wish.
(also there might be an option we've not been shown)

Probably no actual difference in datasheet, just paint scheme.

Tho if there's a Death Company detachment there may be a "Black Rage" enhancement which makes the character count as having the Death Company keyword for the detachment rules.

The black armoured captain looks a little like Willem Dafoe.

This is the cannon face every Death Compnay marine pulls at all times, moring noon and night.

The priest really isn't working for me, for one I'm surprised it's still a unit, for another it doesn't feel very.... blood angels to me.

 

I am wondering if that is partly due to the paint scheme. I find gold doesn't "pop" as much on a white background as it does against some other colours. I have always painted my SPs in a mixed red and white livery (regular apothecaries get plain white) I think that some of the details on that model would look a bit more dramatic on a red background, maybe even just leave the white to the helmet and shoulder pad rims.

The Sanguinary Priest has also been shaded with a black/blue rather than the traditional brown.

It's probably just colour scheme dissonance, tbh.

 

IIRC the current Sangy Priest is painted up in either normal Blood Angels Red or Death Company Black rather than Apothecary White.

 

Same thing I've seen people feeling about Librarians for non Ultramarines painted up in Librarian Blue.

Or the pose.

The old ones make the cup way more prominent.

I have… a lot of captains lol. Regardless, I want this one.

 

interesting that one of the shoulder designs includes a wing with three blood drops (tycho design)

 

I think I would have liked to see a loin cloth thing for the captain, and maybe some longer hair (as a bespoke model like this could afford to have that).

 

sword looks a bit more generic than I hoped for from the captain

Is the wing and 3 blood drops specific to tycho? I had always taken it to be the heraldry of 3rd company rather than the man himself.  The gold captain options strike me as a throw back to the rouge trader captain with the same shoulder design before he was called tycho.

I agree. My specialists get Chapter colours with just the helmets and should pad rims in the specialist colour. Chaplains are my exception as they are devoted full-time to caring for the DC so get all black. Excuse the potato-cam images but my Librarian and converted SP give an idea.

 

 

[Blindhamster]

Current priest was done in bone white rather than blue white. 
 

classic sanguinary priests had red with some blue white though

That’s kinda what I was hinting about, suggested he is actually legitimately gone to me

[Xirix]

Indeed, it feels like the chalice is a bit of an afterthought in the new model, despite being their iconic thing.

The Cup isn't as prominent with the new one and the angle shown for the pose doesn't draw the eye to the Red aspects.

 

That said, maybe the cup is an optional bit on the side and an alt build has the Sangy Priest holding it?

 So another 4 datasheets somewhere:

 

So the rumoured Terminator captain has good odds of being 2 of the 4 I think (named+generic)?

 

Again, as far as I'm aware, the Blood Angel Terminator Captain has nothing to do with the Codex release. I think its a WH+ Model.

I couldnt place why I like the Captain model so much, but there it is. Great mini.
