spu00sed Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 Glad to see that Sang guard and priests work well together. You have convinced me to use priests.

Mafty Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 Played three games at my friends, against Orks, Guard and Wolfwing, won all three! :) Will post some pics and stuff later. its later....lets see some pics/bat reps!

coteaz40001 Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 Easy to defeat how? No invuln save like Terminators. Feel no pain helps only with those basic 2+ failures. and what..20 something models? That wont last very long. A fun army to play, yes, effective...not so much. I play a 2000pt version of this list and i haven't had any problems with every thing dying too fast. When i hit the table, every piece of enemy armor dies, then they get to shoot my 2+/FNP ARMY Once. That's it. Then they watch in horror as I crush their entire army in two turns. Guard, Orks, Space Wolves, and Necrons. I've beaten them all.

Dezartfox Posted April 26, 2010 Author Share Posted April 26, 2010 How have the Death Masks been working for you? Are they worth the points? I've used them a couple of times in 1500pts. Don't really do that much. I probably wouldn't pay the extra 25 points.. though it's well worth it when they do fail! I jsut stick with Dantes' mask.

Dezartfox Posted April 27, 2010 Author Share Posted April 27, 2010 As cool as the new Sanguinor model is, I find him a bit small compared to the Sanguinary Guard models. After building my new Dante (lower down), Sanguinor was looking really small. So I decided to hack him up and make a new model! http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg246/Dezartfox/models2/DSCF1993.jpg http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg246/Dezartfox/models2/DSCF1994.jpg http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg246/Dezartfox/models2/DSCF1995.jpg http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg246/Dezartfox/models2/DSCF1996.jpg http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg246/Dezartfox/models2/DSCF2002.jpg I chopped off his arms and head, stuck them to a Sang Guard body, added Sanguinors backpack and used Astorath's wings as I felt they were more angelic than Sanguinors. Here are some comparison shots comparing the size of the models: http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg246/Dezartfox/models2/DSCF2003.jpg http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg246/Dezartfox/models2/DSCF2004.jpg http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg246/Dezartfox/models2/DSCF2005.jpg Also, Dante was looking pretty small next to his Sanguinary Guard. I guess that's the age of miniature showing. I used Astoraths backpack, Sanguinors wings, Sanguinary guard parts and Dante's melta pistol. http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg246/Dezartfox/models2/DSCF1997.jpg http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg246/Dezartfox/models2/DSCF1998.jpg http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg246/Dezartfox/models2/DSCF1999.jpg http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg246/Dezartfox/models2/DSCF2001.jpg I think these two models make a good centerpiece for the army, plus if anyone else has a Sanguinary Guard army.. at least mine is different!

ancient god Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 Ohhh that Dante version is about to get stolen! :D Very good conversion, and I agree it's better than the Sanguinor (who looks good too, though).

Rizara Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 WOW love the conversions. At least now i know what my dante conversion will look like when i get around and convert up a dante fill in for my DIY successor chapter. I had already planned to use the sanquinary guard bitz..but now i know that my idea will actually come out well. I may have to do that with the wings as well and use the special characters wings instead as they look more impressive on a character than the plastic ones from the sanquinary guard kit.

Dezartfox Posted April 29, 2010 Author Share Posted April 29, 2010 Played three more games tonight ^_^ First was against my Darklighters BA list, he's just figuring out how to use this list after using Tau for many years. Was quite bloody with Sanguinor taking on Mephiston and a unit of assault marines. If anything the damn fast Vindie killed most. In the end I won the game :) Second was against Tyranids, quite a small army for 1750, managed to take down all the big beasties though. Sanguinor and 2 squads all ganging up on the swarm lord and his tyrant guard. At end of turn 5 I was holding three objectives, another win! Third game was the HARDEST game I've played so far, against a mech eldar list. was killpoints and went all the way to turn 7. He had built his army around a bajillion ap2 guns and an avatar.. done remember him casting ANY powers all game! at end of 7 I had Sanguinor and 1 sang guard left! However I won on the killpoints, something like 11-7 :) So, so far I'm on 10 games, 10 wins! WHo was it that said this list was weak?!

Dezartfox Posted May 7, 2010 Author Share Posted May 7, 2010 Played against Darklighters BA yesterday, one objective each and quarters, my rolls for reserves were terrible, I on;y got one unit down on turn 2, the other mishapped and was delayed, and so on. So best I could do was a draw! 11 games, 10 wins, 1 draw Also started painting..slowly. Once uni has finished on the 11th this thread will be updated a lot!

ancient god Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 Great stuff, glad to hear the list is faring so well! And looking forward to your updating more often soon. Great conversions so far and I've filed that Dante away in my inspiration folders for later use. :rolleyes: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/197240-sanguinary-guard-army-blog/page/5/#findComment-2391426 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astorath the Grim Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 I give you Kudos Dezart Fox, for putting together that many of these sanguinary guard models...I've got one squad together and I'm about to tear my hair out 'cause of these stupid wings!

I guess I should have used plastic glue on them...le sigh Wait till you have to paint them... I'm putting up two armies, one almost pure sang guard and one with, well, pretty much everything else that has jump packs. The Sanguinary Guards are really the most annoying to paint, their big 2 handed weapons and wings get in the way all the time. I wish I had not glued them beforehand...

Einholt Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 Hi there Dezartfox, love the army, conversions, painting and having the battle reps to find out how your faring is great. Hope you don't mind but I'm here to ask some advice. I am currently about to start Blood Angels so I made a 1000 pt list today with Dante, 2 units of sang guard with 2x infernus pistol and Power fist in each unit and 2x Sang priests with jumps packs and then either a unit of 5 vanilla sternguard with a drop pod or a Furioso with blood talons with a drop pod. How do you think dante and 10 sang guard will perform at this points level for friendly games and is the dred or vanguard a good idea or can you think of anything more effective to spend my last 160 points on? Thanks for any help! Einholt Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/197240-sanguinary-guard-army-blog/page/5/#findComment-2393165 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marmande Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 Honestly? I'd invest some points in another HQ to add some extra wounds (and an invulnerable save) to the other squad. Maybe a reclusiarch or Captain? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/197240-sanguinary-guard-army-blog/page/5/#findComment-2395190 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cain Tiberius Kondrad Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 Some nice work here bud ;) Really like the Sanguinor Conversion. Much nicer than the "skinny" original that GW produced. I didn't steal your Dante, But I think i'll be using your ideas on the Sanguinor ;) Also, really love how simple your NMM technique is. Can't believe how easy you achieved it.

punkfish Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 Nice looking squad there mate. The army will look pretty awesome when finished - especially with the Sanguinor/Dante conversions.

How have you sped your technique up then? Cheers :cuss The wings mainly, they're an easier version of what I've been doing, they're not that neat but look weathered and such, so they work ;) The blue glow is a new "subtle" glow compared to the first, and the power weapons are quick and easy. OH Forgot to mention my first loss with the list! Against darklighter! Was kill points, my army came down too slow, and Mehpiston ripped through most of my army before dieing.. bah.

Grimm Blade Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 Really great stuff! I especially like the new Sanguinor and Dante, the scale looks way better. How many do you have left? Too bad about the loss. Mephiston is nasty isn't/wasn't he.
