Baal In Winter: LVO Blood Angels Army Showcase

baal in winter walThese Blood Angels were spotted on the tabletops of the 2020 LVO rocking some sweet snow bases. Take a closer look at this Blood Angels Army Showcase.

The 2020 LVO brought players from all across the world to roll some dice under one roof. With the meta healthier than ever, we saw some incredible armies from the event. Now that we’re looking back at the armies from the event, here’s a deeper look into some sweet Blood Angels on snow bases.

Baal In Winter: LVO Blood Angels Army Showcase

This army comes to us from Eamonn Connor

There was also a guest appearance of Kaldo Draigo hanging out with all the characters! Each one of these models was given a snow base to set them apart. But let’s dive a bit deeper into the paint jobs.

Close-Ups

Converted Helmets Are a Nice Touch

Overall, sweet list. This is definitely a collection that’s had some time and hobby love put in. From minor conversions on units to the detail put into every model, this is a solid flagship Blood Angel force!

What do you think about the Blood Angels in 40k? Are Smash Captains still the best delete button in the game still?
