Chaos 'Counts As' Blood Angels

As anyone who knows me will tell you, my first reaction when getting an idea for a new army is to rush out and buy everything I could possibly need (and a few things I don't) and starting from scratch. Unfortunately the Labour governments hideous mismanagement of the British economy has left me both poor and unemployed :-(

Therefore when deciding I wanted to do a Jump Pack Blood Angels army a cheap route had to be found.

Before I had my Renegade Chapter theme going I bought 3 boxes of Khorne Berzerkers and assembled them in a variety of rubbish poses while completely failing to remove ANY mould lines. As a result they were used about twice before being casually hidden in a bitz box.......until now!!!

So the plan is this.

Phase 1

1) Remove all backpacks and inappropriate posed arms.

2) Remove all 'Bunny Ears'

3) Remove as much of the 'Hobby Fail' as possible

Phase 2

4) Reattach arms in more suitable poses

5) Give them appropriate weapons

6) Add Jump Packs.

Phase 3

7) Base models (yes I admit it didn't do that the first time either)

8) Paint in my Chapter colours

The result should be a 'Counts As' Blood Angels army which will also be usable as Raptors should Games Workshop ever get around to redoing the Fail that is the current Chaos Codex without letting some useless Fuckwit like Gav Thorpe near it.

I suppose the list might be helpful as well
