Yogi Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 I proxied a sang guard army myself to see how it would do.. Sadly I hadn't read the priest entry so they didn't feature.. And with out FNP they do nasty damage and then expire.. So I won in kill points but was sadly wiped out(if only it had ended turn 5).. Dante has no eternal warrior was a shock for me.. and he became gold plated spaghetti because of it. But your army is looking cool from what I can see.. (which is only the latest picture with the infernus pistol. Damn Dial up) Great pose and feel. I do think it would be cool to find a way to get the gold armor to pop more.. Currently it looks only a little dull. Anyway great army.

Grimm Blade Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 Great start to the SG! I really like the glow effect, I did something similar with my FT's JPs. I like the NMM gold, but..........it doesn't look finished. IMHO I think you need to highlight it further, it's ok if it looks a little shinny, it is gold after all. I also think that you have done an AMAZING job on the wings! But for me, I liked the blue/grey version better. I am really looking forward to seeing more!

Loki73 Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 This is great finally someone doing what I was gonna do! I actually changed my army up a bit: Sanginator Dante 4x sang guard squads each with a pwr fist and a melta pistol priest with jump pack libby dred with a drop pod.

IronKobra Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 How did you paint the glow on the jump pack? I quite fancy stealing that idea Seconded! Mix between washes, thinned whites and stuff, I'll do a tutorial soon, I'm ralatively new to blue glow, always done green ;) Looking forward to it! I will be doin a 10 man plastic VV squad soon...Will be looking to add some nice effects like that and lightning power weapons ala Seva.

schreier Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 I am trying to put together a relatively similar force, but at the 2500 point level and wanted thoughts: HQ: Dante - 225 pts Elites 1: 3 Sanguinary Priests, each with Infernus Pistol, Meltabombs, Jump Pack - 285 pts Elites 2: 3 Sanguinary Priests, each with Infernus Pistol, Meltabombs, Jump Pack - 285 pts Elites 3: Furioso Dread Librarian, with extra armor, Shield of Sanguinas, Wings of Sanguins, with Drop Pod - 225 pts Troops 1: Sanguinary Guard, base - 200 pts Troops 2: Sanguinary Guard, base - 200 pts Troops 3: Sanguinary Guard, base - 200 pts Troops 4: Sanguinary Guard, base - 200 pts Troops 5: Sanguinary Guard, base - 200 pts Troops 6: Sanguinary Guard, base - 200 pts Heavy 1: Dreadnought, with DropPod - 140 pts Heavy 2: Dreadnought, with DropPod - 140 pts Basic thoughts: Drop the 2 heavy dreads turn 1, with the Librarian coming in later when there are other targets ... 2 dreads dropping into their backyard with multi-meltas give them something to worry about right away and should take some of their heavy weapon fire away from the 2+ save sanguinary guard ... The Sanguinary Priests and the 2 base dreads are the anti-tank .... 2 multi-meltas turn 1 should hit the big tanks early .... then the priests can break off of their squads to hit tanks as needed ... shoot with infernus pistols and then follow up w/ meltabombs ... as long as they stay within 6" of the sanguniary guard, the guard still get their FNP and FC ... Left the guard base since the priests are the anti-tank guys ... and no powerfists to take advantage of the FC Was tempted to take the chapter banner for the +1A but would have to ditch the librarian aspect of the furioso .. not a bad idea honestly but like the fluff of dante having an ancient psyker to plan with and you figure this force would have the most senior and powerful dreads ... I know there are armies that will DESTROY it but it is intended to look good and be fun PS - not trying to hijack the thread - just express admiration for what you've done and list a slightly divergent army list with the same basic idea PPS - as far as modeling, all models would get sanguinary guard packs, including Dante and the priests ... but I am going to try and make the priests out of apothecary bits to get the non-artificer armor and get the syringes and vials and stuff right ... not sure about shoulder pads (if the priests shoulder get the guard shoulder pads or if those are too elaborate for regular armor) schreier Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/197240-sanguinary-guard-army-blog/page/4/#findComment-2365344 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tame Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 I wanted to try a Sang Guard themed idea as soon as I learned they could be taken as troops with Dante. I don't care whether or not the list is balanced or "competitive", I love it :-) I'm building a similar list @ 1500 pts, and I'll probably steal your idea of adding the Wings + SG Jump Packs on everyone...

Loki73 Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 I used my sang list in two games now. Won bolth! First was a char heavy sw list. ran cirles on him to objectives. Won by objectives. second was against a DS Belial termi army. Destroyed that army to a man. To his credit he did roll bad. And it was a fun list like mine. The army is quite fun to play.

spu00sed Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 I am building a Sang guard army and I am wondering how needed are the priests with the squads? They are useless against AP1 and 2 weapons and power weapons, but any other weapon is reduced to an 8% chance of killing a marine after wounds. So are they useful to stop falling to massed fire, or are the points better spent on more guard?

They are what make the units powerful, you should always be getting the charge, so S5 I5 master crafter power weapons are a thing of beauty.

Dezartfox Posted April 22, 2010 Author Share Posted April 22, 2010 Right I am back :P Played two games tonight! First was against a Drop pod heavy Marine army, he came down, I came down, took a round of shooting and then butchered all the marines. Victory! Second game was against a Marine Horde army.. LOTS of marines... 5 objectives which made it difficult. Casualties were heavy but I still managed to hold three objectives! Victory! SO 4 wins and zero losses so far! Taking the list to test against my tournament partners at the weekend, so I'll be playing Orks, Wolfwing and Guard I think.

CorvidMP Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 Sweet glad to see I'm not the only one with this idea froan army build. Only I was gonna make mine a DiY successor chapter with a dante stand in (same model just with a black templar power sword i have lying around, and a different paint scheme). One question though does dante come with the winged pack now? or am i gonna just have to get an extra some how?

Loki73 Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 gratz on the winz! They really need to attack at one weak spot in an opponents army. Taking them apart prick by prick lol.

Swordbrother Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 It's cool to see that you had success with this type of list. As soon as I've finished my tyranids I will start a Dante+Sang army. How's the painting going for you? I recall that you painted up your deathwing(s) pretty darn fast, they looked ubersauce too. So get crackin on these birds.
