Girls are from Venus, Blood Angels are from Baal

[Haywiregrenade]

Moving on from the Eldar in the Xenos section, here is my collction to date of the BA.

HQ's
Librarian from Space Hulk and Mephiston

[Haywiregrenade]

Elites options

Teminators, Sang guard, Sang Priests etc...

[Haywiregrenade]

Some troops options

Again, awful pics, but you get the idea...

[Haywiregrenade]

Fast Attack

OTT Vanguard Vets and a Baal.

[Haywiregrenade]

Finally some heavy support

Raven, Devs, Dread

Cannot fault the painting here but one or two of the poses seem a bit strange to me. The powerfist tactical sergeant for one.

The vets are OTT ? They look fine to me.

[Haywiregrenade]

Yeah there are a couple of odd poses for sure. Some models were recycled from younger days when I did not overly think about it during assembly.

OTT as in kit was my thoughts on the Vanguard, all plasma and power weapons makes for a very pricey unit that is not overly efficient in its points recap in a game. But it does scare the hell out of a MEQ opponent when you heroicly intervene and chop stuff up. If I can time them right with the Priests or Banners, they can become very lethal and far more survivable too
Glad you like the paint jobs!

[wolfen]

Nice Blood Angels, something else we have the same

[zis]

Totaly love the red paintjob on these, looks really good.
Care to give us a recipe on how you did it?

[Brother Nidus]

Hey Haywire Grenade,

Love the paintjob on the space hulk librarian, you do realise that's Calistarius, later renamed Mephiston after he recovered from the black rage?

Just thought it odd the two HQ's you have here are in fact the same person!

Really nice looking army there dude. The red looks very nice and the HQ units set the army off nicely.

[tryanotherone]

Damn. What a misleading title.

Here I was hoping for some nice girl minis.

[soultaker87]

nice work on the libby. keep up the good work

[Haywiregrenade]

Thats for the comments everyone

Simple recipe on these for me.

Base coat mech red over black prime
Top down airbrush highlight with Blood Red.
Run in some brown/black/green wash mix into the recesses.
Edge highlight red/orange
Extreme highlight red/orange/yellow
Detail accordingly

Going to be adding a few more units and some new pictures soon to this as its a bit sporadic

Could you please post bigger pics in the future. I hate to click on every pic, just a suggestion. By the way really nice painting !

[Haywiregrenade]

Will do Kublai.

[Haywiregrenade]

I have since added a new unit this month to the BA forces.

As I did not have a LR in the army, it was about time they did!!

[Mage]

Love the army. The Land Raider is pretty awesome. Like a big angry fire truck with lascannons!

[Haywiregrenade]

Just bought myself a second LR to add to the BA armour collection Assembly underway!
