Hi guys i'm completely new to 40k and would like any advice you have to offer, I've started with the Black Reach box set painted mostly with starter set paints, I have painted my space marines as a loose take on blood angels (you can see them on my profile) and I would appreciate any painting tips or just general tips for building an army of blood angels, I was going to paint them as Black Templars but due to the tactical markings on black reach pauldrons I couldn't.Any constructive criticism would be great I really enjoyed painting them so if you can check out my profile and let me know what you think/how to improve my painting skills and any other general tips.

Well cool, welcome aboard.
If you want to take one idea from me it would be to magnetize. $10 or so will get you 300+ magnets on ebay.
Every squad has options, and rather then "pretending" to have the option or building "extra" models to switch out for games, you would be better off just magnetizing the option and swopping them when you use that option.
Also you can preserve paint jobs and do away with the foam if you magnetize the bases and get cases with steel paper lining the bottom.
Have a good one
Adrian
