New Army - Blood Angels successor chapter


New Army time! I never got properly motivated with the Chaos Dwarves. They're sat unloved back in the UK. I love power armour too much.

I was tempted to start Blood Angels when they released the Sanguinary Guard but didn't. But now with the new tactical squad, the amazing Sternguard models and simply stunning Sanguinary Priest I was sold.
Please don't read too much into all the nipple armour...

I'm going to make my own chapter. As a Space Wolves player I'd consider it a bit of a betrayal to do pure Blood Angels.  Not sure on a name yet but the colour scheme will be thus:

Tactical - Black Armour with white weaponry.
Death Company - Dark red armour with black head and shoulders
Sanguinary Guard & Captain - Silver with black detail
Chaplain - Black with red shoulders
Sanguinary Priest - White armour and black robes

I've converted Dante and Mephiston these seem the only characters worth taking.  They will just be a captain and a librarian mainly though

So here are the models so far

 Captain Dante / Normal captain

 Chaplain with BA bits added.  The wings are magnetized so I can put on his normal one if I don't want him flying about

 Sanguinary Priest.  He will have wings but I left them off to make them easier topaint

 Mephiston.  I need to do something about the arm with the plasma pistol but I'm not sure what.  It just looks wrong

 Librarian.  Might do some sort of power coming from his hand

 Sergeant from the tactical squad.  I love how the level of detail has gone up so much now that this guy could have been a captain years ago

Sternguard.  I actually didn't use many Sternguard bits


Put some green stuff bits on the legs.  I used instamold


Dreadnought in process of being painted.  I added extra bling.  It's an earing I saw whilst in a queue in a clothes shop for 50p.  Bargain
