Helped make my Vision a Reality

Thanks so much to the Dragoon Gaming Team because of your great library of bits (and my favourite imperfect bits bags) my custom Blood Angels army looks amazing. For now the kitbashing has slowed and I'm painting up close to 4000 points but I'm already planning my next army! Also great customer service and very knowledgeable. Sorry for using the live chat like a chat room lol.
