Roleplayer Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 Hey all, you may remember me from such threads as Roleplayer Blood Ravens. Well, I am starting a Blood Angels army on the side, and have gone for a 2000 pt Sanguinary Guard Force. List goes like this at 2000 pts generally. Dante. Sanguinor, Exemplar of the Host. 3 X Sanguinary Priests with Jump Packs. 5 X Sanguinary Guard with assorted weapon load out. 1 X 5 man Vanguard Veteran Squad. (Sgt has Lighting Claws) Vets are in there so the Examplar's blessing is not wasted (Guard dont have sgts). The blessing will turn that sgt into essentially a 3rd HQ. And the ability to attack from deepstrike should keep the opponent on edge When the Storm Raven model comes out, I will buy one and paint it to the force and replace the Exemplar with it for some games and see how it goes. But the list is designed to be viable anywhere from 1000-2500 points. I will buy some BaaLs for the more competative events maybe, too. Everything will be fully magnatized to weapon loadouts can change based upon the points of the game being played! Anyway, on to the models assembled so far. Lord Dante, Chapter Master of the Blood Angels. Still need to drill his infernus pistol. http://40kforums.com/imageupload/images/img4bebfb4092a3b.jpg And my first Sanguinary Priest. http://40kforums.com/imageupload/images/img4bebfb9f08fbf.jpg Sanguinary priest #2, fully magnatized http://40kforums.com/imageupload/images/img4bef524b1b23b.jpg http://40kforums.com/imageupload/images/img4bef525d16256.jpg Blood Angels Vanguard Veteran Sgt. http://40kforums.com/imageupload/images/img4bef4e1b28d96.jpg Blackpack is magnatized so he can be fielded in a rhino if I ever want him to be.

Jarakin Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 Hi mate, really like the conversions, good job! The helmets for the SPs are awesome - where are they from? I can't quite make out the detail on the mask, is it the BA chapter symbol, a Dark Angel symbol or something else?

igotsmeakabob!! Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 Nice start but you cut up the original sacarius model :jaw: Dont you know how much that thing was worth ( even for a smurf...) You mean besides hundreds of dollars? It's looking good so far though. Where are those plastic heads on your JP'ers from?

Roleplayer Posted May 17, 2010 Author Share Posted May 17, 2010 Nice start but you cut up the original sacarius model :jaw: Dont you know how much that thing was worth ( even for a smurf...) Since I dont collect Ultramarines, and had no intention of selling it, what it's worth isn't really relevant to me :jaw: Just a model to be converted like any other.

Jarakin Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 Love it, great job on the paint! What was your recipe? Personally I was thinking about doing a Chainmail base coat with progressive washes of Gryphonne Sepia... not totally sure though as I really like the vibrance of your gold! Also loving the small details too, the wings are great and I really like the jewels... I was thinking of using warlock purple for the jewel blood drops, but seeing this I think I prefer the look of yours!

Roleplayer Posted May 21, 2010 Author Share Posted May 21, 2010 Today's work. Laid down the white with highlights for my sanguinary priests body.

Jarakin Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 Priest is looking great, still want to know where the helmet is from though! How many layers and how long did it take to paint such a crisp white over the black basecoat? Must have taken ages!!!

schreier Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 I was curious - checked ebay ... here is an auction for those heads: http://cgi.ebay.com/40K-SM-DA-Ravenwing-Me...=item2eabe04927 (not my auction) ... nice detail on the helmet ... And I love the final priest here - I was scared based on the WIP that it would look too much like a star wars storm trooper, but the detail on the chest makes it pure blood angels ... I am still torn but leaning toward going gold w/ my priests in a similar list - thought being they were in dante's honour guard at one point and have since been assigned to the "spiritual needs" of the sanguinary guard ... so it's an all gold army :) Were you happy w/ Astaroth's backpack on Dante? I have astorath on order but when I put Sanguinor's on him, then angle felt a little weird w/ his head tilt ...

Gridlocked Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 I know its weird but I really like how you added the blue to the jump packs. Adds some depth to the models just by having the soft glowing packs, ready to take off.

teeef Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 Sweet. Like the blue on the packs also. Gives it that power-look. Also like the swords. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/201629-roleplayers-blood-angels/#findComment-2419398 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roleplayer Posted June 1, 2010 Author Share Posted June 1, 2010 Thanks for the nice comments! Glad the blue gives the effect the jump pack is ideling, which is the look i wanted. The landing dudes will have a much stronger glow on their jump packs. And i was happy with dante on astoraths pack. I like the ideas hes looking down as he swings his axe, I think the pose is very dynamic. Just a pity hes so small next to the sanguinary guard.

Brother Chris Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 I looked at this in case it was about deathwatch too, sorry! I was wondering what Dante would look like with the Sanguinor's jump-pack. I'm sure the flying gold character on the front of the codex was intended to be him (he is on his own, not part of a five man squad of sanguinary guard, for one thing). Your Dante with one of the new winged jump-packs seems to work pretty well, more fuel for my view that Sanguinor and Astortath were late additions to the Codex, using models originally intended for Dante and Mephiston. These figures are looking good. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/201629-roleplayers-blood-angels/#findComment-2540562 Share on other sites More sharing options...
NExOBLIVISCARIS Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 great painting job. but just a tip, maybe you should use some green stuff to fill the dark angel symbol in the helmet. and how much is the siccarius model worth cause i still have mine and it is unharmed and unpainted?
