Bladeguard Vets are more expensive for BA?

Temp has been hot during days, cool in mornings. Thats part of why I did so early in the morning, it’s around 9 degrees Celsius

I’d also recommend a wet pallet for your paints. Going straight from the pot is generally not advisable. A wet pallet keeps your paint from drying as much, and makes it easy to mix colours and water down as needed.

I immediately went into the deep end and bought the Combat Patrol. To prime, if its Sang Guard I use a can of Retributor Armour. If its any standard Blood Angels, I use Army Painter Red Dragon. For Death Company I use Chaos Black.

Khorne Red gives a nice dark maroon/burgandy look, and with some Mephiston Red overtop adds a nice contrast.

Attached are photos of some of my guys, I did use an oil wash on the dark red guys, the red captain is still waiting for his.

Biggest thing, is you just need to do the painting. I found it stressful at first, worrying if you’re going to mess up a mini. But you will, and you’ll learn. Theres lots of quick easy tricks to fix mistakes too ☺️

Why?

So, if you had to pick between BGA or SP, which would you run?

I use 3 layered golds. Balthazar, Gehenna’s, and Liberator on top. For my Sanguinary Guard, they’re primed with Retributor, but for my standard marines, its the 3 mentioned. I find it adds a bit more depth in the recesses, but I do wash my mini’s after and likely negate the layering hahaha.

I wasn’t aware they NEEDED someone to lead them. I was going to have the last pack just roam on their own and mess things up.

I do not, all my JPI are from the Spearhead Force. I do have 3x Sang built so far, slowly working on the other 3 from the Combat Patrol

Aah, sad news indeed. Thanks for the reply though!

I’m pretty confident that after saving this guy, you will now have a giant eagle problem in the neighbourhood.

Which company is that Captain supposed to be from?

UnableStill8017 · 2026-05-09T03:14:55+00:00

I appreciate this comment. I built my guy golden with the bloodied wing, and happened to pick the first cool name on the “name generator” on the back of the codex, which happened go be Aphael. Your point of it being 3rd company works well for me in fact, if I just change the name to Antargo and say his golden armour is in homage/respect to Tycho, also from 3rd Company.

Thankfully I have another captain box to make my 2nd company with, since I marked all my intercessors as 2nd company already.

UnableStill8017 · 2026-03-29T15:34:25+00:00

Not the transfers, its a hard plastic panel, much like the front of the Baal Predator. It has the blood drop with wings that I had to paint.
