More 2nd Edition Blood Angels

I got round to painting my very old Blood Angels commander, the original Captain Tycho. 

 I played Blood Angels a lot in 4th edition, and I remember hunting down the old metal models even then as I preferred them over the new ones. A lot of that old collection I have dug out and now repurposed it for a pile of 2nd edition Blood Angels.

 The first of these repaints, to add to the terminators had to be my old commander. I have been watching a lot of Minisodes, the YouTube channel, which has a lot of great 2nd edition narrative battle reports, particularly with the Blood Angels and their missions on Armageddon's 2nd war. 

I got into contact with Ed, and he kindly told me how he did his Tycho, as I tracked down the original recipe in the old White Dwarf, but couldn't find or convert the paints. 


 I undercoated white and then coated all the armour in Iyanden Yellow contrast. The it was Snakebite and Cygor contrasts for the recesses. Finally Screaming Skull for the highlights.

 I am very happy with the result, though not as good as Ed's, it still looks pretty cool. I am hoping to get him on the battle field in another test game for my gaming friends, when I have enough painting models!

 Anyways, thanks for looking.
