blood angels, reborn

Very nice

I too like the CSM helmet on the sgt; very striking.

I think that they're from the DC/BA Upgrade sprue.

Is that a white stripe on the helmet of one of the guys in the front row, or a very strange reflection?

I like the blue drop on the Sang Preist; works well with his sword. Any plans for some freehand writing on his scrollwork?

Is that GW static grass on their base, or something else?

Your priest is amazing!
Can you tell me how you managed to paint the white so strikeing please??

thanks guys

the wings are indeed from the DC box. they have the blood drops attached.

yup i just painted the top of the helmet white, just a random little bit of white to break up the red.

when i come up with a name for him, any sugestions?

honestly?.....i have no idea i found a pot of it in my cabnet and slaped it on. its almost like a cross btween static grass and flock. very odd

yeah mate no worrys. i just paint fortress grey, then 2 thin coats of white, then a badab black wash, then a thin layer of white leaving the recess dark.

Based on the 'reborn' nature of your BAs, what about Phoenis?

Thanks I plan on maybe painting a sister of battle squad with a few white alpha legion chained "A! or hydras covertly painted on them......

funny you should say that, as my sons name is Phoenix


update: ive had these done for about a week. 's ( the artist formally known as warpwhisperer ) update reminded me to post them.

drop pod for the dready





and my favorite (but overpriced) squad, the vanguard

Very nice ... I'm especially jealous of the Dread's drop pod as mine is still clawing his way out my termite (kind of like me getting stuck in an old T-34; I got in the driver's seat to have a play around, and then couldn't get the right leverage with my long legs to get back out again; I had to be pulled out )

OK, back on topic; those vanguard - that's three power weapons and a hammer right? Any specialised pistols? ANd no storm shields?

(I've got a pile of metal vanguards waiting for some love and attention, but I've yet to settle on the weaponry)

Do you use micro-set aswell? I had thought that it might remove the characteristic sheen on teh transfers. Although I realise as I type this that you may not have used anything with the transfer being on a flat surface...

thanks dude

the drop pod decals i just put straight on with water, but i may go over with a devlin wash just to dull down the little shine there is on them.

the weapon load out is 3 power weapons, 1 thunder hammer (mainly cause i guy with a big hammer looks cooler than a guy with a big hand ) and 3 melta-bombs for the tank killy .

i'm not even sure what to say about that ....

Looks really good!

I especially like the power weapon effect, looks subtle yet power-y.

Sounds like an interesting load out, big hammers does look cooler than big hands

Astorath the grim (coolest name ever) done!!!

That is very very nice.
Kudos. Im impressed.

Now that's a little freaky; yesterday I made an impulse purchase of Astorath.....

Looking good

What prompted the increase in base size; stability or visual effect?

The texture on his armour is very good, and his jet pack is looking sweet too.

Any thoughts on how you're going to field him; Death Company heavy, or just to give the Red Thirst bonus?

thanks guys

yeah hes pretty top heavy and a slight bump sends him over, hench the double basing.

for the moment i'll just run him in an assault squad with a preist, untill i have enough DC for a whole army of them

you could get a death company squad for astoraph as he is high chaplain

update time!!!
