Bit of a blast from the past here! I wanted a Sanguinary Priest with Jump Pack so picked up one of the metal old hammer lads and painted him up! His face is a bit 'bottox' but a quality model to work on.

Blood Angels Captain in Terminator Armour
I'd had Captain Karlean in my collection for ages so it was good to finally get him painted up. Great model and came out rather nice I think!.
Blood Angels Praetor
Next up was a Blood Angels Forgeworld Praetor. Great model, fun to work on if a little fiddly!
Chapter Master Raldoron, First Captain of the Blood Angels
2nd model/unit I finished in Jan 20022 was Raldoron. I followed the scheme described here - Banjo Unchained: Blood Angels Mark 4 Tactical Squad
He was a cool model to work on and came out quite well!

Blood Angels Mark 4 Tactical Squad
The first unit I finished in 2022 was the Mk.4 Blood Angels Tactical Squad. This was the 2nd squad finished in my 'new' Blood Angels army following the Primaris Assault Squad.
I think they came out great!
My BA infantry scheme is as follows:
RATTLE CAN/AIRBRUSH
Stage 1 - Prime
Prime black and heavy zenithal highlight with Grey Seer.
BASE LAYERS
• Apply Mephiston Red thinned with Flow Improver and Thinner. Apply all over in thin 2/3 coats.
• Midtone - Wild Rider Red.
• Upper Midtone- Fire Dragon Bright.
• Highlight 1 - Ungor Flesh.
• Highlight 2 - Flayed One Flesh.
• Highlight 3 - Wraithbone.
• Shadow - Violet Ink thinly applied to shadows.
• Blood Angels Red contract thinned with water/flow improver/thinner - applied all over.
• Paint in all metallic with 1 flat colour. Gold - Dwarven Gold. Silver - Steel.
• Paint in any other details - Purity Seals/Pouches etc.
○ Pouches - Thondia Brown
• Gloss Varnish.
DECALS AND WASHES
• Decals with Micro Sol and Micro Set.
• Gloss Varnish
• Oil washes
○ Pin wash - black. Pin wash is thinner than below. Apply to armour panels.
○ Stain wash of Umber. Apply to gold areas.
○ Stain wash of black. Apply to silver areas.
○ Let dry for x hours. Then use a clean cotton bud to remove excess.
• Gloss then Matte Varnish.
TIDY UP AND HIGHLIGHTING
• Armour - edge highlight with Fire Dragon Bright then Ungor Flesh. Tidy up mistakes /refine shading with other base colours.
• Highlight black with an edge highlight of Dawnstone/Administratum Grey.
• Gold - reapply gold- leaving shadow areas alone! Add silver to the gold to highlight
• Steel - reapply Steel and highlight with Silver.
• Dab silver across weapons and very lightly on armour areas which would scuff easily
• Eyes. Basecoat the lens White then paint it green.
• Do all other details.
○ Pouches - highlight with Doombull Brown > Tuskgor Fur
○ Black - Eshin Grey
40K Terrain and Scenery
During Spring and Summer 2022, I dedicated about 4 months to working on 40k terrain in preparation for 2022 Nerd Day. This post summarises this effort with photos of each piece I worked on.

Blood Angels Primaris Assault Marines
I ended up selling on the Blood Angels I painted up a couple of years ago... they just didn't turn out as good as I wanted so figured best to flog 'em and start again.
Its been a long process and I'll post to cover the steps so far but this is the first unit of this new Blood Angel scheme I've finished. And arent they cool!
Happy New Year anyone who reads this! All the best for 2022

Nerd Day 2019
In September I hosted the annual 'Nerd Day'. For 2019 we played a small game of 40k, a HUGE 4000 point 3-way AoS battle, a fantastic 5 player Dungeon Bowl game and then finally we defeated the Ambull in Blackstone Fortress.
Oh and we christened my new firepit and BBQ!

40k Battles @ Element Games

Blood Angels Redemptor Dreadnought
Every good army needs a dreadnought... so here's the one I painted up for my Blood Angels force. This is the only photo I have and was taken prior to applying the ink wash (which is the final step).

Blood Angels Update
Quick photo dump of some shots from during my time working on the Blood Angels squads. These were mainly from around when I applied decals to all the models.
