But you pay the points for the models too. One of my favourite things about the new Codexes from GW is the ability to use Special Characters in your Army giving the chance to have a great character model that is well painted as a centre piece for your army and it adds to the fluff (or character) of the army as well.<br /><br />Blood Angels were the first Marine chapter I collected in 2nd edition and I have been exicted to see the new releases from GW giving one of my favourite chapters a breath of fresh air. <br /><br />Lemartes has a brand new sculpts and they have done my favourite character from my old Blood Angels models justice with the new sculpt. I love the way he acts as a Guardian of the Death Company and gives the Chapter Hope of Beating the Ancient Curse.<br /><br />Sanguinor has done for Blood Angels what Saint Celestine did for Sisters of Battle. I love the idae of a Marine praying before battle like the knights of old getting ready to bring holy justice to the enemy through the medium of a big ass sword. What is not to like.<br /><br /> Astorath adds a nice dark shade to the Blood Angels. Making sure that as a chapter they stay on the right side by executing brother marines that have succumbed to the curse. The model is awesome as is the big cat wacker he uses on friend and foe. It is a model that looks just like the pictures in the codex and the same imagery you picture in your mind.<br /><br />Seth. Captures the darker side of Blood Angels. His chapters willingness to embrace their heritage including the curse and turn it against the enemies of the imperium. The model captures the dark side of the Blood Angel Gene Seed and what the Blood Angels could become should they decide to embrace their darker tendencies.<br /><br />While I love the new Lemartes sculpt, it is the Sanguinor and Astorath models and fluff I find more exciting. They offer Light and Shade to one of the Imperiums Premier Space Marine Chapters.Allan and Carmenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17898982877395708415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6303857809033694584.post-56306048656379859032010-05-26T11:14:16.949-07:002010-05-26T11:14:16.949-07:00well out of those chcarecters that are listed i on...well out of those chcarecters that are listed i only use ASTROATH: its a great model gives a great buff to most of your army and is killer in combat, do you need more, well he goes round the BA AND its sucsessors so ANY sucsessor can use him :D<br /><br />leremates is a huge improvement to the OLD sculpt see: <br /><br />http://i625.photobucket.com/albums/tt339/fuzzbuket/dizcolermates.jpg<br /><br />BUstin moves !!

I really want to buy this guy just to paint.<br /><br />Astaroth - wants to be Ares. Wants it so hard he writes fanfics about it.<br /><br />Seth - personally, I think this guy is underused. He has potential, but people are just writing him off.<br /><br />Sanguinor - love the model, not so much the fluff. Might have to file off the Batman and Robin-inspired rubber nipples though. It'd be fun to give some NMMs a shot with this guy. Plus, the "flying ribbons" are such an incredible improvement from the old Sisters of Battle flight stands it's not even funny.Farseer Orsohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08867106471637854013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6303857809033694584.post-51499298306032295482010-05-26T09:48:19.616-07:002010-05-26T09:48:19.616-07:00I have been itching to paint one of these sculpts ...I have been itching to paint one of these sculpts since I first saw them.
