Hey everyone,

No time like the present to retool an old army that Ive tried to get back into several times. So this log will be an ongoing record of the old models transitioning to a new paint scheme employing the tricks Ive learned in the last ten years as well as an addition of newer models that Ive had or acquired recently. I have everything from Scouts to Land Raiders and everything in between to redo. So, if you like the look and the scheme stick around and see whats new. Ill be trying to get a unit redone every two weeks. If you have any tips, either on painting or on actual game play for Blood Angels Id appreciate it. Ive been out of the game for a while and haven't played any 8th ed. Hopefully that will change once I start to fill out an army with this new scheme.

Anyway, Ill get on with it. I went through a couple test models looking for a look that I liked. Ill include one of those as well as the first set of Infiltrators that I started with. I picked up the Start Collecting Primaris box because it was such a good deal and I wanted the Eliminators anyway. We'll see if these guys manage to kick some scouts out and take on the infiltrating roll.

Wasnt very happy with this one, may have been the execution but it just didnt grab me.

Getting closer, I didnt mind the grain as its not going to see a table, just a test model.

Ok, here we go! Lets run with this and see where it takes us.

So, for now thats all that I have done. But there will be more of this squad when I wrap it up. Ill also try to get some videos out of the painting process to go along with all the images.

Until then, thanks for looking!

Managed to get these guys finished up. Pretty pleased with how the color scheme came out. Im sure that itll adjust a little bit as time goes on but its a great starting point.

The Dreadnought approaches, blood thirsty and with huge claws!

Just got a video finished up for my Death Company Dreadnought.

Im still fairly new to the video editing side of the house. Any tips or tricks you guys have for that would be awesome.

Got the Razorback into the photobooth for some quick pics. Lots of prep work that I should have done to smooth out its rough Ebay edges. Sometimes preowned stuff is cheap for a reason I guess lol. Anyway, it looks amazing at three feet on a tabletop so Im happy with it. The turret is a 3d print, which I think came out pretty good. The original one it had was mangled worse than the rest of the model.

Very nice rescue on the ebay tank, love the freehand and weathering! And great work on those infiltrators, giving them silencers is great.

Thanks viterbi, gotta be sneaky if you're going to infiltrate

Lovely work on the reds here mate and top notch photography too. The dread is definitely my favourite so far. Looking forward to following this!

Love the dreadnaught, the red “X” really pops against the black. Great work!

Love the tank, especially the lights effect. Your angels have a dirty and dark feel to them

Hey guys, thanks for stopping by and taking a look! This has been a really fun project so far and I'm looking forward to pressing forward with it. And on that note....

Im officially on the Mephiston hype train! Took long enough and I could put another dozen hours or so in. But, Im really happy with how it turned out. I reposed both arms and changed the angle that the head sits at, making it at least a little unique.

Just wrapped up the video of Mephistons paint job. Take a look here

Andddd we have another set done. This time its some scout fodder. I loved them back in 5th ed, well see if I still love them.

Overall they are a very TT level squad but I really enjoyed how the camo cloaks came out on them.
Video is here https://youtu.be/UeXpn09uBOQ

Anyone else having a hard time getting the models they need during the shutdown? I ended up printing out a proxy Lemartes, which I did up as a color test (don't worry, Im not playing with it, I can hear you from here...) for my Death Company models. Hopefully Ill have the real deal soon after all the restrictions lift.

You can see it getting painted here if youre interested.

I got to participate in an Ebay Miniature flip challenge with the proceeds going to charity. i managed to snag a Dante, because what else would I choose : )
The video is here, along with links to the other content creators that participated.

Brothers! Follow me, I'm ready to chew a hole in the grey plastic lines with my shear volume of fire. Glory to Sanguinius, glory to the chapter.

Wow, the backdrop is so realistic too. The shadows... Wow. Just wow. This is one of the best-painted tanks I've ever seen. You manage to make a PREDATOR look like a realistic tank!

Thanks so much, Im glad you like it! I was really happy with how it came out. I am a big fan of armor thats been used and tested in battle.

That one is seriously awesome!

Very nice Baal! Your freehands are looking incredible

Really glad that you guys enjoyed it!

If you enjoy painting videos you can see this one getting painted here.

Grudge match incoming! GW vs my 3D printed Lemartes.

Well I decided to try my hand at painting a marine in 30 minutes. I tried it three times in fact. Took about 35 to get to something that Id be happy to put on the tabletop.

https://youtu.be/JEaCxgcdh7A < them getting painted

They look good for 30 minutes! I think the one in the center is my favorite out of the three

Just got my new light ring in and got the boys together for a little glamor shoot. Not gonna lie, Im really impressed with the light that this thing is putting out.

These look really good. I particularly like the MasterChief helmets

Having some fun with the Judiciar model. Of course he has to be a Blood Angel : )

Some real sweet looking minis here. The ODST helmets are a nice touch. Really like what you are doing with the Judiciar.

Finally got my Judiciar finished up. I had a few hiccups along the way but Im really happy with how it came out.

Alright, finally got around to painting these Aggressors. I had been putting it off for a long time due to not enjoying this armor style. A little inspiration from Facebook photos gave me the extra motivation to get them done though.
