Sugarlessllama Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 So I am starting to finish up my planned projects for both my Space Marines, and my Imperial Knights. Which means I am going to need a new project lined up. Right now I am really eye balling Blood Angels. However, I am unsure which chapter I should build and paint. Although I have narrowed it down to three choices: Blood Angels: I have never done a founding chapter before, and I love the look of the models. The bright red is something that really pops on the table, and I love the lore presented for them. Flesh Tearers: I have really enjoyed the Andy Smilie fiction that has been published for them. I kind of like the idea of making an anti-hero chapter. I'm not too crazy about the darker red, but on the other hand it is super easy to pull off. And I think it would look good when they are all together on the table top. Custom Chapter: I had a ton of fun making my own custom chapter for my Vanilla Space Marines. And it would stand to reason I would enjoy doing the same for the Blood Angels. But I don't really have a neat lore idea, but I do have some fun hobby ideas for the force. I would most likely use quite a few Dark Angels models in the force in order to make a more robey, crusadey, looking chapter. What do you guys think?

AgentP Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 I'd go pure blood angel. When painted correctly, and fielded with a death company, they are a great looking chapter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrewgeddon Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 I really like the idea of doing Angels Encarmine. I think having white Death Company / Sanguinary Guard would look really striking. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chappy Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 Angels Sanguine. Go for a the more challenging paint scheme with the half red, half black. http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Angels_Sanguine Also, they never remove their helmets, so no painting faces! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chappy Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 Sadist. :) No. I just enjoy the challenge of a good scheme. Look for the Novamarines. I painted those. And the studio lead painted an Angels Sanguine army too. http://www.stiffneckstudio.com/gallery.html 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pretre Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 I'm glad I'm not rich so I'm not tempted to get my stuff propainted. :) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayne_Cobbb Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 Be careful! The rules for blood angels are pretty Terible right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pretre Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 Be careful! The rules for blood angels are pretty Terible right now. But they are largely codex-compliant in weapons loadout so are easy to counts-as. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the studio lead painted an Angels Sanguine army too. http://www.stiffneckstudio.com/gallery.html I actually did a small group of Novamarine terminators. The scheme is one of my favorites, and I love their lore. However, I could never got the lines straight when I was doing the tac squads and they came out looking like poop. :( On the plus side, it did give me cause to make my own custom chapter and I have loved working on them.

Sugarlessllama Posted June 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 Be careful! The rules for blood angels are pretty Terible right now. I'm not too worried about that. I usually build my armies in a more lore friendly way anyway. Also, I am a firm believer that you can win with any army. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AbusePuppy Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 You can win with any army, just like anyone can be president. Doesn't mean everyone has the same chance of doing so, though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sugarlessllama Posted June 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 Say what you want, but I did pretty well in Warmachine tournaments taking sub-optimal lists, and models the internets had declared horribad. Did I win all the time? Nope. But one can never expect to win every single game. But I had fun every single game. Which is what I was going for. The W was just the frosting. Since coming over to 40K I have had a great time playing the armies I thought looked neat. And sure, sometimes I lost pretty hard. But I just tried using what I had in a different way, and I had a better run the second time. But that's me. Your mileage may vary. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pretre Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 AP was agreeing. ;) he just added a footnote. I win with cruddy armies occasionally too. (The internet says sisters are bad!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mr. Bigglesworth Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 War machine is a bit more balanced. Not to say I don't want to agree with you, but, just looking at rules. I can read my list and my opponents list and their are times where the victor is clear as day. Now factor in their generalship and random factors like maelstrom card draws and dice and a win against certain lists are strictly luck or [big bad swear word]ty generals. For example space marine gladius formation with pods and razors versus grey knight paladin list. Paladins would lose every time. It's cool it's how the game is, don't hide from it, embrace it. I still enjoy I just tend to tailor what I play with and against. Blood Angels is a crap dex, sad to say. But doesn't mean you can't get wins with them, just don't expect to win, even a semi competitive tournament unless all the players signing up are coming with crap lists or crap generals. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nathanvoodoo Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 When/if my BA ever come back out they will be as Flesh Tearers- without a doubt. Their paint is great and the fluff is awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathanvoodoo Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 And I agree that BA are good allies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
