Blood Angels Scouts

These past two weeks, the Heresy bug bit me really hard once again. I finished the Scouts for my Blood Angels Legion and got paint on quite a few more Space Marines.

I really like how these Scouts came out. Converting them to fit in more with the Heresy aesthetic and now painting them up in the Blood Angels Legion scheme ties these aging sculpts into with the newer Marines of the collection. I could see myself doing a second squad – I bet they would look great with shotguns...

In preparation for Dreadtober, I converted a Castra Ferrum Dreadnought for my Blood Angels. This one was originally a poor and unloved Space Wolf Venerable Dreadnought by ForgeWorld that I picked up for cheap. I started by removing all of the sculpted wolf detail and filled in the remaining holes. The band that was inscriped with runes was simply plastered over with Vallejo's plastic putty. I plan to do these as gold trim – we'll see how it turnes out.

I also signed up for a 2000 point tournament with my Blood Angels and plan to use this deadline to finish some more units. First of these are the Inductii Despoilers I recently built. Whilst putting down the base colours I also added in a Consul with Heavy chainsword. He will probably be a Warmonger or a Champion – harkening back to my old (and sadly sold) Luna Wolves Champion.

  1. Love the scouts, they look very gritty and out in the field for a while. I like the warning symbol on the powerfist as well, a nice H&S touch.

    I'm going to have to get my Dreadtober project ready soon, I've got a couple of Castra Ferrum dreads hanging around which need some love.

    1. Thank you! Just a small reminder to be careful with those power fists. Those thing can really mess you up otherwise!
