and there is detail for the sake of bling bling ( GW )

anyone agree? disagree?

Agree. Its like GW feels that adding a bunch of seals and skulls makes the model better, all it does is make it busy. The Confrontation metals are a great example of detail, ditto with Infinity.

I like clean and simple as a base so I can tack on my own clutter in a manner that makes sense to me. (Like say, all veterans have grenades but regular troops don't, so at a glance they're that much easier to tell apart.)

There's never enough space to actually put my chapter symbol on it without filing, which I really don't like to do on otherwise nice shoulderpads.

Same with the dreadnoughts and all. I had considered making a Charcharodon force using the BA codex. Of course I would want some Furioso's in it. Imagine my disappointment that every bit of the bleeding thing is covered in BA iconography - whereas with the DA stuff the iconography for vehicles came on a seperate sprue.

Blood angels and blood ravens: the new ultragayrines.

makes me wonder if we may be up for a dreadnought re-release??
