Sons of Sanguinius: Blood Angels Progress

The majority of squad two is complete now with just the sergeant left and some finishing touches on two others. In the meantime I thought I better also start making some vehicles and some terminators so that I can start playing some practice games without too much proxying.

Squad 2:

Terminators ready to be primed:

One of the two Las-Plas Razorbacks:

The inspiration for the razorback was taken from the work done my redscorps. All cred should go to him.

Ebay Sale: Beautiful Deathguard Army

Ok folks,

It is about time I sold my much loved deathguard army to make way for the new blood angels. I have this vague rule of only having two armies at a time, which is mainly due to my student life style (lots of moving house/flat!).

I have had an awful lot of fun with this army of the years and it was the army that really accelerated my painting skills and tactical ability to game. As a result, I won two tournaments and came first/joint first in a number of painting competitions. It's a great army to use in game, and I'm sure whom ever buys it will enjoy it too (especially with the new Chaos Legions Codex coming soon!).

The link to the auction can be found here

Here's what you get:

HQ Units: Demon Prince, Summoned Great Demon, Typhus

 3x Plague Marine Squads and their associated Rhinos, 1 more Plague Marine Squad which I usually place in the Landraider

 Landraider, Vindicator

 Finally, you get another Plague Marine Squad (above) and a collection of Plague Marines carrying plasmaguns (so you can replace the meltaguns in the other squads or form up a Havoc Squad)

You also receive a metal Chaos Lord model, which I have just found in a separate army box!

Just another quick update showing you the first guy in the second squad to be completed. I'm currently half way through the second guy now. I was painting them 2 at a time, but I gave up on that when it took just too long!

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.

Hi folks,

I'm back in beautiful Leicester after spending Christmas with my family. So just to keep you ticking over until Saturday here are a few pictures of assault squad two. I have used army painter red primer for this squad rather than the standard black. Hopefully it will come out similar to the first squad in terms of red tone and it should cut the painting time down considerably!

Again pictures have been taken on my android in very poor light, but you get the idea...

These guys have been inked with baal red in preparation. The next wash will be with devlan mud.

I know, I know, these pictures are about 2 weeks old. So the Squad is now actually finished (bar the 6th man which I haven't built yet) and the second squad has been primed and now sits ready for painting.

Anywho, enjoy the pictures (taken on my android, hence quality)
