(Long) before the new codex came out, i started working on a new five man assault squad. They were intended to ride in a Razorback with las/plas loadout. Sadly, with the new codex you can't give 'backs to assault squads as dedicated transports anymore. Luckily, i haven't bought the actual kit yet... I don't know what i will do with them now, they are fun to paint though so i guess i'll get along. The fluff is these guys are really a bunch of misfits even amongst the Blood Angels. Crazy, psychopaths, murderous killers, they love to kill the enemy close and personal with combat blade and fire, lot of fire. The first i completed is Brother Cullarius, a known arsonist who loves his flamethrower more than his brethren. Modelling wise i made them out of spare bits i had on my sprues, so they don't have conventional chainswords and bolt pistols, rather they go with knives and hand flamers, grenades and improvised hand weapons. The sergeant is double wielding a bolt pistol and a hand flamer. Now, with the new codex, it's possible to equip a AS sergeant with double inferno pistol, so i guess i will remake him to gunsling a pair of these. I still have to decide how transport 'em into the thick of the fray though...
