Heyo, I'm trying to build my first army, and while they'll visually be Black Dragons, I plan on playing them as Blood Angels, since they've got a detachment that boosts jump packs, which the Black Dragons favor in lore. And while I've heard that Angelic Host isn't the best, I'm less concerned with what's best and more about what fits lore and cool factor better, and to me that's jump packs. So I quickly threw together a list, though I am very new to the hobby so I don't fully know what I'm doing in terms of army building, I kinda threw together some stuff, taking things that I figure might work with the detachment, though if I'm honest it was a lot down to appearance. Any suggestions or improvements would be greatly appreciated.

So I'm looking into building an army of Black Dragons, because I like the idea of a chapter made of a bunch of Wolverines. Looking in to it ( though I'm new to the hobby and haven't played much more than 3 games of combat patrol ) I figure the Blood Angels detachment Angelic Host would be best, given it favors jump packs, and have started looking into other people's armies to get some ideas. And since I plan on 3d printing my minis, the sky is the limit in terms of units. I've even been working on kitbashing some files of a Jump Pack Captain into a proxy of Dante ( since a lot of Angelic Host lists I've seen have him in it ) as Volos. Any suggestions for unit composition would be greatly appreciated. Also I will definitely be posting updates as I print and paint the army.

So I've been using Elegoo's Standard 8k resin for my minis so far, since I've got a Saturn 3 Ultra, and I haven't had any real issues other than them being a little brittle. But I've seen a lot of people suggest Sunlu ABS-Like resin, and was curious about using it. Though the ABS part of the name has me a little wary. I know ABS filament off gases toxic chemicals while printing, and I was wondering if the resin did something similar, and searching online hasn't exactly given me any answers. My printer is in my garage and near the garage door, and that's been fine for ventilation so far, along with a filter on the printer and a small air purifier nearby. There hasn't been any real issues with smell, and I've even spent hours painting minis in the garage while a print runs without any issues. But there's two bedrooms directly above the garage, one of which being my own, so if the ABS-Like resin is harsher or more toxic, I'd like to know if I should avoid it.

And on a side note, has anyone used Sunlu's standard resin? It seems pretty comparable to Elegoo's and is about half the price, so if it's just as good I'd like to know so I can make the switch and save some money if I don't go with the ABS-Like stuff.
