Hi folks and welcome to the magical mystery tour of my Pre-Heresy Blood Angels! (Insert fanfare here)
This is my attempt to collate all of my various pre-heresy projects and to give some sort of order and structure to them rather than various random topics. I will try and attempt to update regularly but real life commitments may get in the way.
The idea of behind pre-heresy is simple - I want my army to be made up of the differing armour types in common usage before the Heresy. This means that I am restricting myself to 3 different marks of power armour, but I see this as making for a more characterfull army. I have also intend that each armour varient will represent a different squad type.
The three types of armour I intend to use are Mk.2 Crusade armour, Mk.3 Iron armour and Mk.4 Maximus armour. The Mk.2 will be used for assault squads the Mk.3 for Tactical squads and the Mk.4 for Veterans and the like. I may even throw in a Terminator or five along the way.................
Anyway, on to the pics.
First up is my Furioso Contemptor. This was a real fun model to pose and convert. I wanted him to look like he his tearing his way through an Ork mob with the Blood Talons. Just waiting on a couple of bitz to arrive so I can add some more BA bling to him.
Next, a 5 man assault squad which may be increased to between 7 and 10 men at a later date. Just a few simple conversions in the squad so far. I don't want to add too much bling to the rank and file apart from the odd blood drop. The veterans will of course get more bling to show thier triumphs and battle honours.
Lastly, a test model for a squad of Sternguard. Decided to try and save a little money here and use plastic bitz where possible. This of course meant re-sculpting the kneepads (possibly four more times after this to complete the squad)
Well thats all for now. I know I've set myself a huge task to get this project finished, but I have some leave booked from work in November so I should be able to make a dent in it
