With the impending Blood Angel frenzy coming our way from GW, this is as good a time as any to take a look at my very first army. The Blood Angels.

This army was started the same day I picked my copy of Rogue Trader and my first 40k purchase ever: the RTB-1 boxed set of 30 beakies for $29.99. The first 3 tactical squads of the 3rd Battle Company, have been fighting in the name of the Emperor since 1988.

Over the editions, my interest in the army has waxed and waned, but they are never forgotten. In time (early in 3rd edition) I completed my long-standing goal of finishing out the entire battle company. The terminators come from the original metal boxed set from the early 1990s, along with some dudes thrown in from spacehulk.

All I can say it thank God, I picked the “red marines” from the color plates in the Rogue Trader book to collect. I could have chosen Rainbow Warriors…whew!!!

The army breaks down as follows:
