Blood Angels army up for sale!

Dear readers,

The time has come for me to move my Blood Angels army onto another loving home. I've had some great games with this army and came second in the student nationals 2012 with it. Painting this army was especially challenging! Painting all those gems really took some effort but in the end I was really happy with the results. Another lovely touch with this army is that all the figures come with bases from dragonforge's urban rubble range! So without further ado, please feast your eyes on what's available in the lot. The auction can be found here.

The Chaplain, sanguinary priest and assault terminators

Some extra characters: Chapter master Seth, Commander Dante and a captain with lightning claws

 There is also a WIP honour guard squad

Assault squad one with razorback transport

Assault squad 2 with razorback

Assault squad three and two storm ravens

Finally, the whole army fits into this custom pull and pluck army case!

To top it all off, I will also include some blood angels sprus I have left! If you have any further questions about the lot, or you would like to see some more pictures then please get in touch either via ebay or through leaving a comment below. Once again the auction can be found here.

Good luck and best wishes!

 

Sons of Sanguinius: The Sanguine Skies

As of 9.45AM Friday 13th of April, the army is now complete. It has been a long and hard road studded with bouts of violence and insanity. But despite all my dispare, I now own a complete 1,500pt Blood Angels army.

The army was completed in time for the student nationals, which was hosted in Cardiff this year. The event was very good fun and I managed to achieve 2nd place overall (getting 2 perfect scores in 2 games including a wipeout and a concession (on turn 4 no less! I only lost 1 terminator in the whole game!)). Sadly I lost my last game to a cheese filled Grey Knights force...typical!

I have left out some pictures of the other storm raven and razorback because they are pretty similar to the others I have already posted.

Anywho, without further chit chat, here are some pics of the completed force. Do please enjoy :)

 Chaplains are badass!

Priests keep the host alive quite nicely and furious charge keeps them killing!

The terminators really are the stars! Everything they touch dies! Especially when led by the chaplain.

Finally some pictures are the 3rd squad. These guys fly about in one of the storm ravens.

Sons of Sanguinius: The Halfway Mark

Something of an update this time around. After returning from Japan only to realise that time is seriously running out with regards to getting these models ready for the student nationals in April, I have been somewhat busy! Caught in a furious painting frenzy I have managed to make the rough halfway mark! I do hope you enjoy the new figs. Especially you darthfishbag!

The storm raven is pretty much done now. One down, one to go!

Some more guys from the second assault squad. Just one left to go!

Finally, one of two las-plas razorbacks. I love these things in game!

Sons of Sanguinius: Blood Angels Progress

As promised I have some shots of the (almost) completed first assault squad. The final member has been built and is now waiting to be primed. I think I will prime him in black to match the rest of his squad just incase the red has subtle differences.

Having looked over the photos and then cross referenced them with the actual models I have notices one or two niggling little details. The most obvious being the which highlighting on the melta gunners helmet not being as smooth or thin as it should be! These will all get ironed out as the army gets completed.

Anyway, over to the pictures:

The sergeant with a thunder hammer!

 I like to think of this guy as leaping out of the razorback, ready to rend the enemy!

I just could not get a decent picture of this guy despite taking loads of photos! The white spot in his right eye is in fact black, it's just I couldn't remove the flash. I think I need some more practice with faces anyhow, more research needed for the next one I think.

I really like the wild look in this guys eyes...he seems to be bordering on the red thirst as he carves up the foe!

 And finally the obligatory melta gunner! Never leave home without one.

Right, well that's it for now. As I mentioned in my last post I went to forgeworld yesterday and picked up a big box of goodies. Now I have all the parts I will need to make all the vehicles WYSIWYG and of course, beautiful! 

In the meantime I still have the second squad to paint! Back to the bloody layers and washes I guess.
