I suspect it’s the chest that does it? A lot of the firstborn ones had decorated gorgets or a predominant design on their chest.

 

honestly after looking at Dante I’m pondering replicating his chest design 

I plan on buying 3-4 of the Captain just to throw parts of him at other units like Bladeguard and the like.

Gonna look absolutely SICK with their ripped abs and wearing a towel to the beach.  Absolute Chad Marine status at that point.

Yeah I think I'll at least be getting two of them? I'm very interested in doing a Primaris Brother Corbulo kit-bash I saw on YouTube, on We Paint Minis, or something to that extent? I'm curious how much the captain or sanguinary priest models will affect that?

 

On another topic when do we think they will release this new Blood Angel stuff? In September?

 

 

I'm currently almost finished painting my apothecary for my Black Templars and given the fact I don't ever want to paint another one of these, there is a very strong chance my next collection WILL BE Blood Angels! lol. From the looks of it, the new Sanguinary Priest has less going on in his sculpt than the standard apothecary, and that's not a bad thing!

Since Apothecary White it's become less a problem imo. 

My take is light grey basecoat > white zenithal > apothecary white without restraint > white edge highlights 

 

Sure, you better don't make any oopsis while painting the other colors around the white areas :biggrin:

Easy "good enough" apothecary white: Base with Standard Mechanicus Grey, apply a thinned Nuln Oil liberally,  dry brush in sequence Administratum Grey, Ulthuan Grey, and a fine dry brush with a pure white, my preference is AP Fanatic Matte White. After that you'll do some touch ups, some edge highlighting with the pure white, and you're done. I just posted that apothecary over on the BT forum under the Araxxian Crusade post.

That is more or less what I have settled on. Still tricky but doing 1 or 2 models is not too bad.

Oh. Oh. That's frigging beautiful!!!

 

 

I lament the lack of artificer nipples, and not the biggest fan of the head sculpts (I guess these days I'd be unhappy with Jes's old faces that I love), but overall happy, they're solid models and I'd be keen to add them to my force.

I'd recommend getting a box or two of the firstborn death company and the sanguinary guard for the various bits, including some of the best BA heads imo.

I'm going to get a box or two of the firstborn Death Company because I especially want to use the blood saltire ones on the shoulders of the jump pack intercessors that are going to get made into my Death Company. I also want to model a classic thunder hammer, but in game it will have eviscerator stats. Not to mention two inferno pistols per box. Gotta get them before they go OOP.

I considered doing the same, but honestly feel I’d have too many unused bits now. 
 

may see what minor bits I can get on eBay.

 

edit

10 sets of the sanguinary guard accessories ordered lol. For me they’re perfect as the little blood drop pendants can be cut off and used on other models!
