Sanguinius


Warpten

Recommended Posts

After seeing Some great Sanguinius models I decided to make one of my own.

So I started with cutting Celestine her legs of , and stcik them to sigvald torso. That was the easy part.

After that I had to decide what kind op weapon(s) I want to give him. I wanted to give him a special weapon so I decided to create a whole new weapon

a combi pistol (name yet to be decided)

For close combat I wanted to give him a Sword but after searching a few bitz sites there wasn't a single sword I liked for this model. Then I realized In some stories he wielded a spear so I went searching for a Spear and I found one.

 

 

and after many hours of labour :) and many cursing Later I put the wings on him.

Then came the weapons

Nice, but I think the cloak and cherubs don't fit.

 

Just something abut them.

 

 

Given the pose structure, essentially the same as Celestine, have you considered having the arms at more of a rest position, with the spear extending along the length of the arm?

 

Kinda like a drooped cruciform shape.

 

 

Great concept and brilliant use of parts - will definitely keep an eye on this one :)

Was gonna suggest the same as cloudrunner about the pose of the arms something about the spear at the moment doesnt quite fit. I also agree with the cherubs not fitting, I feel if he flapped his wings he would render both cherubs unconcious with blows to the head and he would lose his cloak ;)

 

Apart from that this is one of the nicer looking Sanguinius conversions ive seen.

Not feeling it yet sorry, I don't like the cherubs. He used a Sword, the spear of Telesto, which I'm guessing your referring to, was created by a writer practically hated by the Blood Angel community. Most of us would prefer a nice flaming sword, something with more believability.

 

His pose is awkward, his body, wings, position in according to the ground, and his arms just don't match up. If he is taking off, he should have his arms either at rest, pointer more down, or in action, shooting at something. If he is in combat, he wouldn't be standing on his toes, his big fleshy wings in the air. If he is just showing off for the ladies, he shouldn't look so bored and lax.

 

Get what I'm saying?

 

Good Luck on this man, I'd like to see some change, but its your model not mine ;)

Looks great thus far. I especially like the scale of the wings, looks perfect :P The only thing I can see that I think it needs is a belt buckle. something simple, but just to break up the transition between the armour and the cloth. Don't know if your gs-fu is up to it (not a critisism, I just don't know you :P ) but I'm sure you could plasticard or kitbash something :P

I look forward to seeing more of this :)
