WiP Sanguinary Priests & Blood Rodeo

Hi guys,

Due to some flak I have been receiving for playing a mech army with my gaming group I have decided to build and play a Crimson Fist assault based jumper and biker army - using the Blood Angel Codex. The army list I am using is Kirby’s Blood Rodeo from the blog 3++ is the new black – I just loved the style of the army and want to give it a go. The army list is as follows:

Now before some people out there squeal - don't bother. As you may know I am all for using a marine army in a number of incarnations as there is so much cross over and I am not about to buy a new fleet of Rhino's or Bikes just to paint them another colour. GW gets enough money out of me. :)

So I have been madly building assault marines and have just finished my three Sanguinary Priests to use in the army. I first saw this style of Sanguinary Priest on the Painting Corps blog who found it on The Standard Template Construct. I loved this little kit bash so had a go at making my own versions from various SM box sets.

Anyway, here they are:







I am now working on building the Librarians on bikes before moving onto finishing the bike squads.

I have been in a bit of a hobby rut for the past few weeks so I am going to build as much up as I can while I am on a bit of a roll - I just hope the bits I have ordered come through before the Christmas break.
