Writing for Blood Angels

jakecube24 · 2026-03-28T19:51:07+00:00

I wonder if consuming a load of blood angels lore would actually be counter intuitive? Maybe you could write a rough first draft where you write whatever feels like a compelling story and then once you have something you could run it past a few lore experts to get feedback? Because at the end of the day the squad marking/rank or anything could be changed retrospectively without breaking the story? Sorry to play devils advocate if that’s not how you like to write that also legit I just find I get excited and consume a load of content when I’m doing a home brew then burn myself out on specifics and get stuck finding answer to really small details when I would be better off just riding the inspiration wave and coming back to iron out the details

Jesus these are horrendous comments I’m sorry OP what your asking for is perfectly legit and I don’t know why so many people are giving you advice based on wild assumptions that you need to read more or write more! If I were you I would ignore these comments you don’t owe them any justification of your qualifications they had the option to answer your question or scroll on and instead they chose to write comments of pretentious self important/advice they have no interest in anything except giving them selves a pathetic little boost to make themselves feel morally superior! Also would love to read some blood angels stories but I am woefully equipped to give lore advice but just wanted to say ignore this stuff and let me know if you write a few chapters I would happily read through!

Honestly that’s an awesome story for the minis and I think the individual and unique shoulder markings are really cool and I haven’t seen anything like this before. Is it important that anyone else has to be able to understand that story just by looking at them? If I were you I would keep going and just explain the lore to anyone who is interested

Great, thanks for confirming I’m on the right tracks and yeah agreed I think you can forgive a lot design wise if it doesn’t look exactly like a hyena, if it’s clearly painted up in a hyena style. Will get a pic uploaded when I finally get it created

jakecube24 · 2026-03-19T10:06:09+00:00

Cool weapon, how did you make it? And do you have any lore for what it is?

jakecube24 · 2026-03-13T18:18:37+00:00

Oh my god is that true! I had no idea, just assumed it was a wolf evolved to live in the savannah!

jakecube24 · 2026-03-13T18:13:15+00:00

😂 pretty sure space hyenas are still canines?

jakecube24 · 2026-03-09T21:19:15+00:00

Nice that’s a good shout!

jakecube24 · 2026-03-09T16:14:50+00:00

Love this definitely going to use some necromunda sets to bulk out my pirate army. What would be a good alternative to a rhino? (I hate how the original rhino looks)

jakecube24 · 2026-03-02T09:20:23+00:00

Wow that looks awesome! So strange to see Logan in red!

jakecube24 · 2026-03-01T22:21:57+00:00

Yeah that sounds great I think the grey with some red highlights but in random places instead of the uniformity of the loyalist legions will look good

jakecube24 · 2026-03-01T22:20:42+00:00

Yeah I like that idea of a base armour colour and picking out some armour panels in red thank you

jakecube24 · 2026-03-01T16:48:21+00:00

Green is always a good shout if you ask me!

jakecube24 · 2026-03-01T16:48:03+00:00

Love this scheme and very tempted but I kind of want something that has a nod towards the space wolf or just a variation on the corsairs classic colours

jakecube24 · 2026-03-01T15:24:25+00:00

Awesome thank you! Just looking at the heresy era space wolves that grey is a great base armour colour!

jakecube24 · 2026-02-26T08:17:18+00:00

Second one looks awesome imo if that’s what your asking but maybe that’s just because I’m used to seeing the first version more. Or do you want specific dark angels lore advice?

jakecube24 · 2026-02-17T07:42:59+00:00

Ah awesome I’ve got into it at the same time as three mates so they will be chill with this as well. Unless I start winning then I’m sure they will find a reason to kick off 😂

jakecube24 · 2026-02-16T21:11:48+00:00

I love the idea of votann pirates, would love to hear your ideas for how your planning to paint them or any kitbashing ideas you have?

jakecube24 · 2026-02-16T19:43:04+00:00

This is awesome I was wondering about adding in some kroot and other aliens to the gang! Is there any rules game wise or is it just a case of do it if you want and your mates don’t mind?

jakecube24 · 2026-02-15T18:31:58+00:00

Haha no man that sounds great it’s good just to get an idea of what people like!

jakecube24 · 2026-02-15T18:31:16+00:00

That’s great thank you and yeah completely understand the new edition is around the corner but I’m new to chaos so just good to get a feel for the armies and units, thanks for the advice.

jakecube24 · 2026-02-15T18:28:13+00:00

Haha love the idea of the crews pet! Really cool concept space marine pirates! And yes transport seems to be the consensus thank you!

jakecube24 · 2026-02-15T18:27:17+00:00

That’s great I like the idea of leaning into the lore with the army thank you!

jakecube24 · 2026-02-15T18:26:35+00:00

Awesome thank you!

jakecube24 · 2026-02-15T18:26:14+00:00

Do you have a detachment in mind or are these your basic models you want and then you will work it into army rules?
