<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "Captain Baracus' B.A.: a Blood Angels Plog ++6/4 Baal Pred++"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/56.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net Captain Baracus' B.A.: a Blood Angels Plog ++6/4 Baal Pred++ like the Sanguinary nipples, it's patterned after Roman armor, after all) I decided to put together a Blood Angels army. So here's the first(of many more to come) of Captain Baracus' Blood Angels Company.

For my Librarian, I took the Tigurius model and filed off all of the Ultramarines symbols. He's an awesome model, and for some reason I had him lying around:



Here's a Razorback with the twin-linked heavy flamer option. Yes, I know they're flamestorm turrets but they look pretty cool. Not sure if I'll keep it as is, though...those fuel tanks are awfully exposed. I'll also be adding BA iconography once I get my brass icons from FW and crack open my Baal kits.



Here's my first 5 Death Company models. I've magnetized the packs so I can switch between jump packs and backpacks depending on the list. I'll be doing the same for my assault marines and honor guard.

I'll post more as I build and paint!

@G3spoon: I'm probably going to build everything first and then turn to painting, especially as I'm still painting up my chaos daemons. Also, that way I can get to some playtesting without the confusion of "counts as."

@Somnicide: I know, ironic, huh? And it's also a testament to my complaints about metal models...it took me forever to file off all those damned Ultramarines symbols, and then greenstuff over a couple of areas on the robes. If he'd been plastic, those symbols would have been super quick to cut off.

@Waagh_Gonads: The whole magnetization idea really came out of the utility of the Blood Angels being able to remove their packs. I want to be able to run both mechanized and deep striking lists, and magnetizing is much cheaper and less time consuming that buying, assembling and painting twice as many models!

If I was really going to be efficient and thrifty, I'd also magnetize arms so I can swap weapon loadouts at will. But that's taking it just a little too far for me(plus I'd also need a ton more shoulderpads at that point, and no, I am not going to start magnetizing shoulder pads to arms!)]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/288701/1479262.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/288701/1479262.page GMT Re:Captain Baracus' B.A.: a Blood Angels Plog - ++4/12 added Sanguinary Guard++
As the kit only came with 5 of the Sanguinary-specific shoulder pads, I didn't do any magnetization of the left arms. I gave one of them an inferno pistol, and another the chapter banner. I did, however, magnetize one of the torsos so that I could swap between a power fist and a power weapon.

Concept for librarian looks good though. Are you going to integrate a psychic hood? Also, the force blade could do with a bit of tidying up? Possibly some power doohickys like you see on the side of a power sword (if you know what i mean!)

Great work though!

Not sure if I'm going to model a psychic hood or not...after all, it's logical that the hood would be inside the sarcophagus. And there will be a sarcophagus cover attached.

I did have one unfortunate occurrence...this was my first time trying out the brass icons from Forgeworld, and when I glued on the one on the Librarian's shoulder it immediately stuck fast, and as you can see it's slightly askew. I'm not quite sure what to do about that without potentially damaging the arm...as the brass pieces are also much thinner than my xacto blade. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Without further ado, here's the work on dreadnoughts so far:

Automatically Appended Next Post:
I've been pretty busy, so this is the first update in a few. I've put together my first rhino, as well as three assault squad sergeants. Like the DC and Sanguinary Guard, the sergeants have been magnetized to swap between jump packs and backpacks. I've also magnetized the weapon arms on two of them so I can swap between power weapons and power fists, and between an infernus and a bolt pistol.

Rhino: pretty standard, with a couple of brass pieces to individualize it.



Assault Sergeant 1: This one has been glued, so he will always have a power weapon and bolt pistol.



Assault Sergeant 2: Can swap between power fist and power weapon. The bolt pistol arm is glued.



Assault Sergeant 3: Can swap between power fist and lightning claw, and between infernus pistol and bolt pistol.



Finally, here's a BA blood drop brass piece on the lightning claw:
