14000 points of Blood Angels

A quick post this time.

My Blood Angels have existed, in one form or another, since my first few games during 2nd Edition way back in 1993. I was only 10! I remember eagerly awaiting my birthday and openning that huge box... Truely, a life changing event for me.

The marines in that box where subject to some of the worst painting ever. Think monkey painting with it's tail. These lucky guys have been painted no less than three times since then. Thanks to the advent of better paint, washes and skill these guys still form the rank and file of my army.

Its hard to imagine my life without wargaming in it. 40k has been in my life for well over 20 years thanks to Space Crusade and the much beloved 2nd edition box set. Some heretics would nay say the hobby but its not all gaming. Its a social event. It encourages co-operation, hand eye skills, art (or butchery), using your brain, maths, sportmanship, reading, winning and losing. Its also rather good fun! It should be on every schools curriculum!

Anyhow, below is a few snaps of my BA army now as it stands. There is a full battle company present with transports. Every special character and tons of vehicles. Over 14000 points worth and counting. Enjoy
