Mark Latham recalls discovering the Studio’s early Blood Angels and copying their bright orange scheme for his first army. An unsuccessful later repaint gives way to a new collection inspired by the latest kits, now built around sprayed red layers and advice from Darren Latham. The editorial connects personal nostalgia with the practical pleasure of beginning again using better models, materials and acquired painting experience.

Andy Hall explores the Blood Angels as doomed heroes whose nobility exists alongside the Red Thirst and Black Rage. Mat Ward distinguishes those afflictions and explains their influence on the new army, from Death Company to fast vehicles and airborne assaults. Sculptors then describe the ornate visual language of the new kits, linking angelic equipment and artisanal decoration to the Chapter’s history rather than treating them as generic Space Marine upgrades.
