I know Space Wolves do, but do the 'vamps' have actual fangs?

No

No, but they do have sparkly golden nipple armour.

Actually, doesn't Mephiston have fangs? It's probably hard to satisfy the 'Red thirst' without pointy biting bits. I think the BA have both sparkly golden nipple armor and fangs, but never on the same model (Mephiston is rather dark and severe-looking).

Yes.

Blood angels all have ossified nipples, which protrude like fangs.

Hence the need for the nipple armor.

Not insofar as I know, at least in terms of natural fangs.

They might file their canines or something similar though.

No. Sanguinius was the perfect image of humanity in its most god-like form. No fangs included, they get to the blood with a chainsword and mephiston has no fangs either, just an obscenely large psychic hood. As per sparkly nipple armour, yeah I could see their nipples punching through a land raider with relative ease

Have you ever been on an arctic world and had someone flick you in the nipple?

You'd armor those gaks, too, if you could!

Slow clap initiated

He looks fangy to me...?

The problem is are they natural or something he's done to himself.

That is an angry looking person...

Fangs are definitely noticeable in the Space Wolves models, and there don't seem to be any Blood Angel models with actual fangs. My guess would be no.

That dude looks like he's doing the Monty Python "nasty, vicious, sharp teeth!" thing.

In the codex it says the BA initiates note the sharp eye-teeth of their future brother marines.
In the Horus Heresy series I remember Sanguinius being described as having fangs

Nipple fangs

....I fail to see how nipples are an amusing topic for conversation...have you people seen so few that you're fascinated by them?

Yes they do.

Artwork and models suggest this.

Take a look at the Space Hulk captains mouth.

They are vampires. They have fangs.

I fail to see how nipples are not an amusing topic for conversation. Everyone likes nipples. Cause they are attached to BOOBS! Everyone likes boobs. Just say it out loud. Booo ba. Haha, fun.

Actually, I have heard eunuchs don't like boobs. Are you a eunuch, and can you verify this for me?

Men have nipples, too. I should know, I have them.

...what am I even doing in this thread. Bloody hell.

Blood, right.

From what I've seen, the BA do seem to have pointyish teeth in general, but not proper fangs. However, it seems like a mutation of the geneseed could easily produce actual fangs as part of the Red Thirst defect; stranger things have happened. Honestly, I like the idea, since it makes their difference from other SM chapters at least marginally more material.

Meanwhile, I'm going to go and try to find something that talks about whether the Blood Angels actually drink blood or just get really violent rather than asking about it.

I have had nipple chafing after a long run, somebody could have satisfied their red thirst on them...

A Thousand Sons at Nikaea I think. I don't have my HH books with me to look it up. It would be
that or Horus Rising.

My friend just got done painting Dante and he did an awesome job. BUT the only thing I kept looking and laughing at was his nippled breast plate.


Anyways on topic. It wouldn't surprise me if they did they are vampires.

Don't all space marines have longer canines? Isn't it one of their normal gene seed mutations so that when all else fails they can tear at their opponents with their teeth? To my knowledge the space wolves have an overactive version of that gene seed which causes their fangs to grow the way they do, and to further grow continuously.

It wouldn't surprise me if the blood angels did have fangs, especially with the very heavy very obvious vampire theme they have. However, I could also see the blood angels seeing fangs as abhorrent especially with their obsession with fine beauty and arts. Having fangs could make them end up like captain tycho.

Dante's model doesn't have nipple armor.

Don't the Space Hulk terminators ahve pretty big fangs?

Blood angels have fangs

look at this quote from the blood angel omnibus, "Simeon agreed, bearing his fangs." and "Warriors leapt from bikes at full throttle, tearing their foes throats from them and biting deep into exposed flesh."

There are probably better ones in there but these are the ones i found.
