From Matt T: Some more Blood Angels (45 points)

For lots of little reasons I have fallen behind the arms race with my brother so it feels good to finish some minis and submit a post.

First up is some more lost boys in space. More GW Blood Angels with some Grey Tide Studio bits. Really like how the Lieutenant and Sanguinary Priest turned out. The 3 d printed parts make them much more individualistic.  


Next up is a mini that's been in the lead pile for so long I have forgotten the initial reason I bought her. Anyway she's an oldie and a baddie, she's the fantastic Gripping Beast Witch with cat and cauldron. She will get used in our Silver Bayonet games but I have based her on a forest floor rather than the snow. I wasn't sure how to get a realistic snow effect around the base of the fire. I might go back to her and put some odd small patches of snow round the edges.


8 x 28mm minis = 40 points


Good to see some old sibling rivalry spurring you on, Matt. The Blood Angels are fabulous, as you say they gain quite a bit of character with the conversion work. The witch is a fantastic figure, with some shades of Granny Weatherwax, and I actually quite like the forest base. I will throw in some bonus points for the kitbashing of the Blood Angels, so we'll settle for  45 points.

  8. The blood angels are very stunning,Matt, but I really like the witch. Besides the brushwork, the basing is perfect without the snow.she is going to be a great addition to silver bayonet games or any other game you place her!
