What we REALLY think of the NEW BLOOD ANGELS...

[@russodoni5331]

I do enjoy hearing George say 'I might have to change the base on that so it fits in with my army' like his 6 models have an overarching theme

[@olliefisher5435]

I WAS ONE OF THE 4 LADS! we’ll be coming to the next one so you can learn our names then😂

[@The40Kwarrior]

Yeah looking forward to seeing you guys again! For now I'll call you Bob.

i don’t get why the sanguinary guard would disrespect the death mask of their father and don’t wear it. In Darkness of Blood Dante scolds a primaris Captain for entering his chamber before he could put on his mask.

[@SwagDeez]

Love this podcast, please add the extended video to the podcast supporter tier for those of us who are fans of the show but not so interested in the tutorials. Thanks for the episodes each week guys, best warhammer podcast out there!

The Sanguinary guard miniatures just look like fancy Blood Angels sergeants. The wings and their specialist jump pack, which they've also lost, marked them out on the tabletop as something special, aside from the paint scheme. With the loss of Gabriel Seth as well as all of the Blood Angels specific dreadnoughts the Blood Angels character in their models has been removed, they're just the red version of Ultramarines. Gabriel Seth was right all along.

[@jasonscottsego7311]

Do the Ultramarines get the Red Thirst and Black Rage? That's new. Huge lore implications! Seth wasn't speaking about appearances. To Seth, the struggle against the Flaw was the defining feature of the Sanguinary Brotherhood and they thought Primaris would 'cure' the Flaw. So no, Seth wasn't right

[@Deadjim17]

@@jasonscottsego7311 it is a literal quote from Seth to Dante about the suggestion of Primaris potentially curing the BA’s flaw. While that is not the case Primaris definitely has impacted the character of the miniatures themselves though

[@Deadjim17]

@@jasonscottsego7311 ‘You are too noble to understand.’ Seth rounded on Dante. ‘That is not salvation, that is replacement. These new warriors will bear the colours of Flesh Tearers, but without Sanguinius’ fury they will be Flesh Tearers in name only. All my time as Chapter Master I have waged war on our rage, to wrestle it into submission and use its strength to slay our foes. We are fury! From the time of Amit, the savage lord, to this day, we have carried the white heat of Sanguinius’ anger in us. That was our gift and our burden. The flaw is what makes us what we are.’ ‘We are nothing without the struggle against it. He would make us all Ultramarines in red armour.' The theming of the Blood angels has been neutered and removed from these new Primaris marines. When you compare the DC and SG that came before to what we are newly getting, they are lesser, fewer bits fewer options and less embellishment and detail.

[@jasonscottsego7311]

@Deadjim17 crazy that you'd post quotes that prove what I said. Yeah I don't like the SG models and I think it's lazy from GW with how they've handled the DC, but that isn't Seth being right

[@Easy_Mode_Minis]

All stunningly painted, Can't wait to get my glasses back so I can paint Lemarties

[@amysnuggs]

Love Lemartes and Astorath, fantastic paint jobs guys. I can't wait for them to eventually come out separately to get them!

[@aroncheek5092]

Roast beef monster munch was taken off the shelves for quite a few years,I was so happy when they came back . Unfortunately I suffer from fibromyalgia and carpal tunnel in both my hands so I'm always uncomfortable when building and painting,I sometimes causes my hands to lock up completely I also have tremors sometimes which prevents from doing any modelling at all . Being aware of posture and how much strain your putting on your body while doing things is really important. Unfortunately my disabilities prevent me from carrying on with my profession (mechanics/light vehicle technician) , I'm hoping to get good enough to do commission designs,building and painting models and miniatures

[@MichaelKalb-vn6gg]

Keep at it brother, you'll never regret it!

[@MidasPelagius]

I've purchased this as I want to finally start a Death Company army! My only (albeit, small) gripe is with Astorath's sculpted abdominals orientated in the wrong direction. I wish I had never seen it, but I can't unsee it now 😆

[@thomasmavronicholas9783]

Hey guys love the podcast literally go back to re listen to episodes again it’s the perfect painting accompaniment, been back in the hobby for 6 months … already built up the pile of potential back up with Leviathan, Spearhead Force, and now will be getting all the Blood Angels releases, I’d love to know how you guys manage your own PoPs or Stacks. Keep it up

[@effeks2000]

Damn that captain slaps! Very evocative model and paint job.

[@DavidManser]

Astorath just needs to shout "Sanguinius!" and all the Death Guard will turn as one, like someone standing on twig in a Zombie film.

[@HappyDuude]

I wonder how much higher people run their desks for painting - I know personally I prefer having the desk higher than I would have it for a computer, so I can rest my elbows on the table whilst keeping a straighter back. Really want to move to a standing desk at some stage

[@engageonallfronts]

Elbow rests is something I want as well!

[@Flomo1991]

Great paintjobs overall minis, but I have to admit that Astorath's paint job left me with very mixed feelings. The armour and wings are great, but the face just didn't grab me. I'm not sure whether the face has so little contrast or whether it's painted too monochrome for me. It looked like a mask when I first saw it. I'm very curious to see what the model looks like in real life.

[@engageonallfronts]

It is a mask

[@danteezyx]

what was the time frame given to paint Astorath?

[@ellismccoy]

Lemartes' "Baal gag" doesn't look nearly as bad in your paint job vs GW.

[@thesigmaritepainter7803]

Great podcast as always

[@jorgemontero6384]

It's amazing to me that y'all do such a much better job at selling the miniatures than the GW photography department does

[@CourtneyRoberts1982]

When he said you wouldn’t shower every day, I was like, what? Keep in mind I’m of Scottish descent, so my skin gets angry at things that it shouldn’t but I absolutely shower every day. It’s also a bit of a factor that I live in the American South where today it’s supposed to get 34°C with about 70% humidity.

[@podger_minis]

Fuck yes can't wait to listen to this boys love the podcast👏 👏

Cheers mate, I’ve been enjoying your own blood angels videos while I’ve been painting!

There's a saying that goes something like "in the Old World, 100 miles is a long distance. In the New World, 100 years is a long time."

We'll be on 11th ed of 40K before all these challenge armies are fully painted and completed. lol

[@mikewalf]

Re brush care, how many hours, or sessions, or projects does a good quality brush last, even when caring for it. What's the average life span?

[@SamsButterscotch]

Terrific episode, I'm curious if George uses the by now established 'Eavy Archive recipe for his Blood Angels, or if there's any secret sauce he uses for his reds? Much love ❣

[@oleww50]

[@Jeff-ne1lh]

I have honestly stopped using my Airbrush for models I game with... the finish is just so damn delicate, a few games and your awesome paint job is rubbing off. It's okay for a warlord I guess but not for rank and file troops.

James, you've been done there mate! Warboot sounds incredible 🤣🤣

[@TronsTableTop]

Gutted i missed the most recent warboot. But moving home consumed my time and money. Finger crossed i can make December

[@michaelcaricoo]

Curious to James thoughts about the new death company, and how it went from a blinged out kit to generic

[@engageonallfronts]

The Sanguinor having a Primaris jump pack is the stupidest design decision in this entire range

I love the new Sang Guard, was not too attached to the wings as so many others were, can't wait to grab 'em!

[@makingthequants09]

Guys be good to understand how the flesh / muscle armour is painted, just got back into the hobby after 25 yrs so any techniques would be great

[@mordy2v]

No hobby hack?

[@trivialpershoot]

To properly repose Astorath's arms and axe: I intend to move the right hand down to the other hand (like the older one) as at the moment it is actually PREVENTING his full swing. That is NOT how you swing an axe and he is also dislocating his own arm to do it. As our arm gets through the top arc the hand is forced to turn outwards so his pose is impossible as well. Loving your paint jobs, they look fantastic

[@gregoryjordan1740]

This is how you swing an axe and you certainly can hold your arms over your head with ought dislocating them. The top hand slides down as you drop your axe. He's in a sort of top of the swing pose.

[@trivialpershoot]

@@gregoryjordan1740 never said you couldn't put arms above your head but the hand would turn out, not in! And if he is mid swing, then he has already lost power because he is holding it wrong. The hand would need to be at the base at the start of the swing for max power. I suggest not sharing your thoughts if you don’t know what you are talking about.

[@gregoryjordan1740]

@trivialpershoot Your just wrong. As you swing an axe your hands more or less stay in the same plane as the head of the axe as you see on the miniature. They don't rotate around the shaft as you are swining as this would lose control this way. A real axe handle is actually oblong shape to better communicate the direction of the head relative to your hand. When you start the swing you should have your off hand only at the base of the axe gripping the palm swell firmly (this indicates Astorath is right handed btw) and you main hand mid shaft for the upswing and then you drop your main hand down to the butt end on the down swing for an overhead chop. The pose would indicate he is just beginning the downswing. You would never really start a swing by bringing an axe over your head with your hands together as it would have too much leverage and momentum against you to reverse the direction mid air. Keep in mind you do this all in one fluid motion. I would suggest trying to chop some fire wood or touching grass once in a while. It's fun!

[@trivialpershoot]

@@gregoryjordan1740 keeping your arm straight rotate your arm past straight up. Can you keep your hand turned in towards the axe handle. See you can’t . Now stfu because you used a lot of words to show the simple truth. You have no clue how to use an axe and you didn’t even bother checking how your own arm moves.

[@trivialpershoot]

@@gregoryjordan1740 ffs you are ignorant for the sakes of it. He is not in the middle of the upswing. It is supposed to be early in the downswing when hand would be at the bottom. But irrelevant of up or down swing: do a practical experiment. Put your arm straight up with the hand facing in. Now move your upper arm further back, can you keep your hand facing in as if gripping the haft? No you can't. Simple biology. Stop arguing. The models creators wanted to make it different to the original, so ignoring biology and how to use an axe; moved his right arm, and said "looks fine". Now you are being rude and arguing the nonsense to justify it. Get off fan boy!

[@Warrior_warlock]

I like the Astorath model and the face looks way better painted here than the way GW did it. But I hate his lore. How can he be in the same boxed set as Lemartes? Surely Lemartes would be first in line for execution. And how can there be a tower of Amareo with Astorath around?

[@dreadtrain2846]

The roadmap was pathetic.

[@nicksmith1415]

Sanding and spraying without a suitable mask is a dq move on yourself.xx

[@CalAndAly]

Saguaro poses are flaccid af and just lazy dynamically, esp when creators have made way radder poses on cults. Same with Astorath stl that’s a way better pose swinging at a tyranid
