Blood Angles - Month 1 (and 2)

Our session of the TOTG officially started in May, it is all but two hours through the first month and I still don't have any models!  However, I have made a rather large purchase that will take up my entire budget from months 1 and 2. 

I ordered the Blood Angels Battleforce boxset from Great Canadian Miniatures, a website which carries pretty much the entire games workshop range.  You can get some pretty decent discounts (about 20% off) if you purchase enough stuff to make the shipping negligible.  The boxset came out to about $100 tax and shipping included.  The boxset (shown below) comes with 10 marines, 5 assault marines, 5 death company, and a rhino.  All of the components are pretty standard for any Blood Angel army, so I feel like it is a really good base to start with - to see what I like and what I don't like.


Next month I plan on adding an HQ and an elite entry and will try to fit in some combat patrol battles in between all of the modeling and painting!
