    40K Start of Blood Angels

    Hi All,

    With the new Ceramite League I have started a Blood Angels army. This army is primarily for my wife, to help introduce her to the game. So far I have only purchased the Blood Angels Battleforce, and have seem to already screwed up on the Rhino. Wanted to maximize the use to options and found out that the two turret fairings dont work well together. Have to locate a simple hatch now if I dont want to use the rocket launcher.

    The overall battleforce. Tactical Squad is up front, with Death Company to the back right, and Assault Squad to the back left.
    Both Death Company and the Assault Squad are equipped with Jump Packs (not shown).

    This is a shot of the Tactical Squad. The Sarg is the one with black shoulderpads. The marine in the front right has all his highlights down for red.
    Sadly the cell phone camera is not picking up the highlights.

    Close up with Death Company. Right now they just have black primer.

    The bases are the Forgecraft Fire and Brimstone bases. I plan on the army to have an alien lava feel to add contrast to all of the red. Just have not decided if I want to go with green, blue, or purple lava. Think the green might make things look Christmasy.

    Time for an update. I have added the Sanguinary Guard to the mix. This is the unit that my wife saw and said "I want that one". So the start of Non-metal Metalics start. Please keep in mind that this will be my first time doing so. Have a lot to learn with this technique. Also all pictures are being taken with my cellphone. A lot of the details are not being picked up. Eventually I will have a painting list of the colors used as well.

    Really like that red, thanks for sharing!

    Thank you. Eventually I will list out the color scheme as well as how I painted them if anyone is interested. Should have more pics soon.
