Sanguinius reborn


Recommended Posts

For awhile I've been trying to create a decent Sanguinius model and I think I've finally got it. What do you think?

If your cam or digi cam has a Black and white setting it will pick out the details of this model whiles its in the white metal stage.

 

Cheers for the advice mate, I'll make sure to do that next time. But for know it won't be needed as I've been painting today so I'll post pictures up later.

 

Cheers

Sweet can i enquire as to where you picked up the model as i have done my own sangy that needs painting and work but id love to know where to get this model from?

 

I use the Avatar of Aurellius by Reaper miniatures and just used GS and added a forgeworld terminator pad.

 

Sorry for the bad picture quality, hopefully you'll be able to see more in this one:

I love the model and the idea. Red wings look awesome and would certainly add to his presence on the battlefield, but aren't his wings stated as being white??

 

I based the colours off this picture of Sanguinius from the Horus Heresy Visions collection which is quite iconic and it shows him with red feathers.

But also because I wanted my version to be different and have a bit more red to him. After all he is the Red Angel.

I have used almost exactly the same method to do my Sanguinius! scary huh? Slightly different greenstuff work but same base model :P

 

I haven't started to paint mine yet, it's been waiting for about a year not until I can do him justice, but at least noiw I can see it will work ^_^

look at the top of the wings, they're white, he feathers are red, because of his blood, just like the pelt he has with him, is yellow-ish on one part, and red-ish on another part.

his wings are white, and always have been, just look at all of the banners the BA carry, white wings on him.

As I recall Sangunius was strangled to death as well as psykically destroyed. And I think it looks better as red and it makes my model different. Plus the rent in his armour is on his torso so how did all that blood get on the top of his wings but not a single smug on the very top? His wings weren't cut or then there would be blood in his hair and where is the blood stains on his armour? Also the red blood mixing the white wings would make more of a pink. But in the end what matters is what I like and I love the look of MY model.

i don't think there is a full account of the fight, but i find it rather silly to think the only wounds he received was the death blow, and the blood on most of his wings is due to the fact that it puddles, you put enough red on white and it will be red, just like you can still see one or two white feathers poking out.

 

any way, i never said you were wrong to paint it that way, but you said you painted it based on that pic.

 

besides, if his death was strangulation, and psychic trauma only then there shouldn't be any blood at all, which wouldn't make for a very dynamic painting.

 

but it is a nice looking model.
