Tony is looking quite Dapper in this one. Is he in contention for the next James Bond? Quick, let's all email MGM and get this ball rolling!

Started with BA in 1991 with Space Hulk, but painted u as Blood Oaths which later became DC (RT rule book), I also had space wolves, but really got intoBA in sept 1993 when 2nd came out. I still have that army now. Had a game of 10ed last weekend and used the original Land Raider spartan conversion, looked great alongside primaris marines 😉

I remember that conversion - plasticard box on an upside down land raider - those were the days, when white dwarf was full of scratch building your own units

@@3Grots thats the one. Had to be upside down to make it look bigger. The left over parts were used to make the Sabre tank hunter that later become an actual FW tank.

I didn't know about the remains being used to build a sabre - I remember the original but not that it used left over bits from building a spartan

@@3Grots yea it was the top part of the tank, the sides used The side parts from a Rhino, and the bottom was made of plasticard. I have 2 made up.

The first warhammer box I bought was the original blood angel terminators, and I thought they were awesome, then I bought a Eldar army!! Was into them in the rogue trader days, and 2nd ed. NOw I have come back 8 editions later, got the Leviathon box and painted them as BAs.. Awesome!

@@3Grots they are, I did like the aesthetic of the original box. They were nicer than the space hulk ones. My brother had a space wolf army, which had the original wolf guard. Those modes were cool also.

I started in 3th. I got in love with the red noble marines, who fights against it's flaws and that can kick your ass in combat. Sanguinius and the lore was just the final push. I remembering rolling a dice for each unit to see if someone had to join the Death Company ... I was very happy when suddenly I had a 15 men DC with Jumpacks hehe

The blood angels by that time were given the title of the recent legion after being sent to one of the moons of Jupiter to die with only the basest of equipment but instead of dieing they were found in greater numbers then when they went. They used to eat not just their dead but there opponents then adapt their combat tactics to specifically slight or terrify the culture they were in combat with. They were also put to fight with world eaters so much that they supposedly picked up many of their combat practices. And it’s implied in sangs primarch book that the practice of eating their dead continues into the present. Also it’s implied by cawl that the root of the the thirst and the rage were inbuilt into the geenseed from the big E’s original plans ahd chaos just exploited it by worsening it. The blood angels gean seed is referred to being as mutagenic as the salamanders.

There is indeed a ton of extra depth and lore if any wish to dig in further. 🙂
