BloodAngels Bolter "By the Blood of Sanguinius"

A solid, easy-to-print prop for every fan of the IX Legion! This Blood Angels Bolter is designed for those who want a heroic-scale weapon without overcomplicating the printing process. It features classic Chapter iconography: blood drops, winged skulls, and the bold inscription "BY THE BLOOD OF SANGUINIUS".

This model is split into 3 main parts, making it a breeze to print, glue, and finish. It’s a perfect project for a weekend paint job or a cosplay accessory.

Features

• Easy to Print: No ultra-fine details to worry about – it’s a robust, solid design.
• 3-Part Assembly: Optimized for gluing and quick assembly.
• Paint-Ready: Large, clear surface areas for weathering, edge highlighting, and showing off your Chapter colors.

Printing & Assembly Recommendations

• Material: PLA for the best surface finish or PETG for a more durable prop.
• Layer Height: 0.2mm or even 0.28mm – the model is designed to look great without needing tiny, time-consuming layer heights.
• Infill: 10-15% (Grid or Gyroid) for a lightweight but strong build.
• Supports: Only where necessary (around the magazine and barrel).
• Assembly: Use standard super glue (CA glue) to bond the three parts together.

Pro-Tip for Finishing

Given the large, bold surfaces, this model is a great candidate for weathering effects. Use a dry brush with some silver/gunmetal paint on the edges to give it that "battle-scarred" look, as seen on the display photos!
