Blood Angels conversion ideas
A few months ago, I caught a neighbour throwing out a huge collection of 40k and fantasy stuff. Naturally I asked them not to do that, but give it all to me.
I went from having a couple of squads here and there to owning several armies. Thankfully a lot of the fantasy stuff was unpainted, but the blood angels army I got was pretty horribly painted.
I am planning stripping the paint off and repainting them. The only problem is, is that I find blood angels quite boring (both lore and paint scheme).
I was wondering of there was a way to convert them to something else other than the classic chaos conversions.
Also, it would be nice to keep sculpting to a minimum, since I have about 30-50 various infantry units, 6 boxy dreadnaughts and 4-6 tanks.
I was thinking legion of the damned or sons of malice but I’m open to any and all suggestions.

Pick one of the weird chapters that appeared in the old Rogue Trader manual.
I'm currently painting a squad of Mantis Warriors. I like that for a chapter who's colour scheme is muted green, the snipers have a completely different colour scheme of bright yellow with tiger stripes. Top tier stealth.

I built some Legion of the Damned terminators from Blood Angels models and many parts fit quite well.

Those are brilliant! Love the flames too. Green stuff?
So rare to see Legion of the Damned, might end up doing this.

Thanks! Yes, green stuff. I can dig up a WIP if you're interested.
I love LOTD! Wish they still had proper rules.

That’d be great, always looking to learn something new. I was even thinking of getting some blackest black for some sections.
