As much as I hate the Blood Angels, Theres a fellow at my FLGS who has had an unpainted BA army for almost 2 years now who was looking to get rid of a 2500+ pt IG army. Well he was looking at my army and we struck up a deal where I would paint up his BA for a direct swap for his IG. This project started back in December and this is what I have done so far, although theres a few HQ units I have painted for some variety that arnt shown. Now I know a couple of things folks are going to say:

1. Those are dark for BA! Reason: He wanted them a bit darker so they could be part of that other BA chapter that the guy that holds the big 2 handed chain sword commands.
2. The Death Company arnt painted like normal Death Company! I know this, he wanted a bit of variety and liked the details to be picked out a bit, so I took some liberties.
3. They arnt meant to be above table top quality by any means, and are strictly meant to be average tabletop.
4. They have weird icons on their right shoulder guards! I have matched each squad to a specific rhino as all of the squads with a pistol and sword are assault squads on foot with dedicated rhinos.

There is also 1 Tac squad, 1 more assault squad on foot, Mephiston, the big 2 handed chain sword guy, and a dedicated Death Company Rhino not pictured as they are currently still being painted.

Also FYI the chaplain that is with the Death Company is actually his Reclusiarc (sp?)

Other than that they are pretty standard BA, just extremely troop heavy. I have played his list a few times with my Chaos, and for a vanilla BA list its very good and I have only seen one list beat him, which was our local tourny winner Dark Eldar list.

C and C is always welcome!
