At the moment I have little to no painting supplies, so the first portion of this log will consist of my progress in the modeling department. I started with some rough notes about what I wanted my first Tac. squad to consist of, and I'll likely continue posting my initial notes before the models themselves.


These are mostly done; there's some cleaning up to do, but basically ready for paint.


I liked the idea of prototypes, so I've added an arc to the mk.6 helmet, trying to convey the idea of a middle ground between mk.6 and mk.7 parts.





Malachi here is still in progress.



A bit of gs work here to add some iconography, nothing big.

Nice modeling, the GS bits make the models look a lot more individual.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/273599/1246628.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/273599/1246628.page GMT Blood Angels 5th Battle Company

I picked the 5th for the same reason as Neith; I just hadn't seen a 5th company force before. I'm still working my way through the Blood Angels Omnibus, but I didn't want to change my fluff to accommodate what is, in my opinion, very poorly written fluff written by someone else. The books involve more or less the whole chapter, but they specifically mention that the 5th company were massacred, their captain killed, etc.

Glued the firing arm to the bolter, then attached to body. Then, before the rest was dry, I attached the other arm to the bolter and chest. As the liquid cement is drying, gently tweak things and move them around until it looks like you want it to. Also, be very selective about which bolter arms you use. For me, some are completely useless. Just be patient, try different things, and find what works for you.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/273599/1247351.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/273599/1247351.page GMT Blood Angels 5th Battle Company
Great pose on the first marine. Can't wait to see what else you come up with.

Cheers,

Hmm, I don't think that'll affect my fluff too much then. If the Ultramarines can rebuild most of their 1st Company, I'm sure the Blood Angels could do the same for the 5th. I was going to check out the Blood Angels Omnibus, but I've heard a lot of bad press about it. As a Blood Angels player, are they worth reading at all?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/273599/1247945.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/273599/1247945.page GMT Blood Angels 5th Battle Company

Are they worth reading? For lack of any better BA fiction, yes. Are they well-written? Hell no. That being said, as a BA player, I still feel like it's my duty to have read them.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/273599/1247984.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/273599/1247984.page GMT Blood Angels 5th Battle Company BA books.

Killed off the 5th?

It was when he killed Literature that annoyed me...]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/273599/1252433.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/273599/1252433.page GMT
