Blood Angels Part 1: Getting Started in Horus Heresy

[@tommothedog]

I think the blood angels are almost as crazy evil as the night lords, when sanguinius meets them they are a legion of savage corpse eaters.

[@clonetf141]

They are worse than night lords, they literally ate an entire imperial army regiments, their own fallen and POW infront of an enemy that they were besieging

[@josiahstreetman8806]

That's why Sanguinius is so cool. He turned them into noble, self-sacrificing warriors

[@walt_man]

@@clonetf141 Eat... or just drink their blood? I haven't got into the Heresy Novels past Hetardo Bronzi lol.

[@Emperor528]

@@walt_man it's not in any of the HH books that I know of its History in the old Black Books specifically Book 8 I think. Occulus Imperia does too Blood Angels Legion videos that are really good and get into there history and role in the Ctusade and Heresy.

[@clonetf141]

@@walt_man ate, blood drinking was reserved for rituals during that time

[@Mittens_Gaming]

I almost spit up my coffee to see you suggest AoS parts, though your suggestions make a lot of sense.

[@jwollheim]

I’ve been using storm cast spears on all my guys with power weapons. They look SO good

[@fransaacs]

Stormcast are a great source for Blood Angels characters and elites (they'd probably suit Emperor's Children and Alpha Legion choices too) I'm using a couple I found on ebay where older models (mostly the introductory pushfit and the later legs & torsos from bits resellers) are going cheaper since last year's AoS Dominion release of the newer, taller, thinner redesigns.

[@walt_man]

Some solid options here for Blood Angels. I'd use the old metal Celestine wings instead of the Stormcast HQ ones.

[@kieslingsfilms]

Thanks you for doing this series.

[@wulfbak]

While I have two 5-man units of Angel's Tears, the Volkite as well as the grenade ones that Forgeoworld makes, I decided to kit bash my own 10-man unit of autocannon Angel's Tears. I used Mk III marines, 3-d printed Mk IV jump packs, Stormcast Eternal heads and FW rotor guns. I probably saved around $100 US on the unit, maybe less, but it was a fun project that I wanted to do even though I could have afforded the actual FW models for those.

First in line to tell MAC to: _"Clear The Area........No Traces........Get The (Men!) Ready To Move."_ ("Hey Billy...... BILLY!!.....") *(Absolutely LOVING this series of Vids so far, Macca......keep up the great work!;O)=*~*

[@conanlucas6183]

This is awesome, blood angels are what I'm doing first lol.

[@HerrMarajin]

Any thoughts on using the 40k style Blood Angels insignia on 30k Blood Angels marines? For example the display model on Forgeworld for the Iliastus Pattern Assault Cannon has what looks like a regular 40k BA icon on it. So seems alright? Edit: I'm mostly talking about transfers, as you recommend using the plastic upgrade parts in the video already.

[@Grubnar]

Is there any real difference? I thought the Blood Angels, much like the Imperial Fists, have always used the same icon.

[@HerrMarajin]

@@Grubnar It's the same idea for the emblem but styled very differently. Their 30k stuff looks a bit more Greco-Roman and fancy.

[@travisvance619]

gray knights strike squad have alot of spears and swords if your looking for some

[@sonicwingnut]

I was thinking that praetor with an axe could be converted into a pretty good chaplain perhaps?

[@titobenito43]

The first guy would make a great librarian consul. That axe is just some converion bits away from being a stave, the back banner tinted blue is a resonance tool as well as the little dangly shields. Hes not infallible, but it is something to work with. As the for the other guy, i see a master a signals. Give hime a flare gun replace bits on the backpack with comms antenna. Replace the gun arm with a primaris comms arm and replace the noggin with a bar head or rangefinder helm. They got potential.

[@wraithship]

Yeah that's what I was thinking. That big round neck armour isn't far away from a descreete psychic hood and could be built off further if needed

[@matteonozza7236]

Is the age of darkness box good for the blood angels?

[@TheOuterCircle]

It works, but is not highly optimised for any legion to be honest, except maybe the Imperial Fists.

[@Black_Blow_Fly]

Blood Angels don’t like chonky bois 😄

[@jaegerbomb269]

I'm doing both Blood Angels and Raven Gaurd.

[@Kami9119]

Just a bit curious about the paladins, what is it that makes them bad? 🤔

[@halo37721]

Their rules make them redundant. They get bonuses for being outnumbered but because they're bulky (2) models it's rare that they'll actually benefit from the bonuses as if they're fighting that many models the bonuses aren't gonna help them.

[@Kami9119]

@@halo37721 The only thing they get is FNP if they are outnumbered, you can just run with primus medic for that. I mean the rest of the stats and items they can take are good so I still feel it's not enough of a reason to call them bad. Thanks for the reply btw!

[@Gumlass1]

Lightning claws or ranged for termies?

[@Grubnar]

Both have their place. Personally, I prefer Tartaros with lightning claws. And Ctaphractii to hold that sweet assault cannon when it goes BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!

[@Black_Blow_Fly]

Blood Paladins are oh so shexsy !!

[@radicalgremlin6440]

I know this is not blood angels related, but it relates to the dark angels ravenwing. I want to add a few bikes to my force. I was wonder if buying the 40k ravenwing attack bikes, and change around the heads, and packs might make them look good for heresy.

[@MrCitizen0]

Never buy bits from fore world if your from the US people charge us 30 us for part and 20 for shipping ifs a rip off for US players

[@youtubevanced4900]

That yellow Praetor model is terrible. The arm pose being straight up is so shit. The sword is way too big. It's beyond being cool. It's just shit. The head is one of the worst GW has ever made. Having a plume head thing on a naked face is cancer. Body is fine. Generic space marine.

[@FrPeter81]

A bit extreme (seriously, cancer?) but other than that I agree 100%
