Hey Everyone,

So I am thinking of starting a Blood Angel army but wanted to test out my painting. So here is a guy from AoBR set that I painted up BA style. He is missing his pack from an unfortunate smelting accident so I put in a bullet hole to make him a little more interesting. Let me know what you think.

Seems solid to me.

he needs some brothers.

Very nice red. I wish my Beastmen's tabards came out that red.

I like how its red, but a dirty red.

nice.

Thanks Folks, if only I had money

Its pretty easy I used the following tutorial until step 4 and then went with my own ideas. http://www.thewaaaghstudios.com/tutorials/bapaint.html

Your Blood Angel's looking great and I'm glad you've found my tutorial helpful

If you've got any questions about any of the stages in the tutorial just give me a message and I'd be glad to help.

Yeah man your tutorial was of great help doing this Thanks!

The bitz on the base seem to distract from the model, a little to bulky (to me any way). Love to color, when do we get to see more of your army? =)

Yeah It kind of distracts but its kinda boring without something else, at least for me but I may switch around the positioning but I see what you mean. Haha Oh I wish I had money but I will probably buy a couple assault packs this week if at all possible. Thanks for the comments everyone! Plus the fact I still have half an army of Chaos to paint still so poor BA will probably have to wait.

I do not really understand why he has two missile launchers anyways. You should also make some wires for that missing pack because that is a good sized bullet hole in his back. I think he would be dead.

Haha all those things are true but hey I am not to worried about making it realistic, I am pretty happy with the finished product.

Good for you!

I like your style, and your mini looks good overall. Nice battlefield look to the marine. Thanks for posting your efforts.

I'll send you a back pack in exchange for that missile launcher on the base.
