nice enough, I don’t think it does a better job of making the model stand out, except the tabard, and black isn’t the colour of the really see for tabards on BA (usually beige like ultramarines or dark grey)

I normally do my tabards in purple which I think suits the "regal" look of Blood Angels.

With quick glance, these really look like loyalist Thousand sons

These guys look great. Did you sculpt all the BA bling by hand with green-stuff or are there 3D printed elements in there? I really am curious how you achieved these models. Great stuff anyway, kudos.

Funny enough its all 3d printed.

The briliant Requiem82 on instagram (link) converted up my ideal crosspolination of primaris and old-school marines assault marines. I would have liked to get something more along these lines:

 

I've never been a big fan of the chest straps, but otherwise this is basically what all of my death company look like. If you want to achieve this look it's laughably easy if you have access to any bits.  Plenty of 3rd party jump packs if that's the big hold up.

It's not that it's impossible, I pretty much kitbash all my models; it's what I would've liked GW's offerings to be out of the box and what I would've liked the design aesthetics for marines to be going forward.

 

The new ones feel like a bit of a step back compared to the latest marine offerings.
