Blood Angels faction overview
The Blood Angels are the noble, doomed sons of Sanguinius — Space Marines beset by the Black Rage and the Red Thirst. Their army identity centres on close combat: Death Company, Sanguinary Guard, jump-pack Assault Squads, and the Primarch's heir Commander Dante.
Buying advice for second-hand collectors
Sanguinary Guard, Death Company and the Sanguinor are the most-sought Blood Angels kits second-hand. Combat Patrol: Blood Angels regularly resells for 30–50% below RRP. Watch for missing Blood Angels upgrade sprues — many Marines kits ship the BA-specific sprue separately.
Collecting & army-building advice
Blood Angels reward heavy reds. Most painters build the scheme with a black or oxide red basecoat, layered Mephiston Red, then Evil Sunz Scarlet edge highlights — or use Blood Angels Red contrast over zenithal grey for tabletop speed. Theme an army around Death Company (black) or Sanguinary Guard (gold) for contrast.
