spikyjames Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 Hi all Just thought i'd share these guys with you all. I'm working on a Sanguinary Guard army, just a small project of 20 models to make a 1500 point army :blush: which i'm aiming to get it finished by the end of May. It is really just a bit of painting practice as i've no intention to actually keep the army for any length of time (it'll be for sale as soon as it's finished) So anyway on to some pics of the first squad http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d42/spikyjames/Angels%20Sanguine/005a.jpg http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d42/spikyjames/Angels%20Sanguine/003-2.jpg http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d42/spikyjames/Angels%20Sanguine/003.jpg http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d42/spikyjames/Angels%20Sanguine/004-2.jpg http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d42/spikyjames/Angels%20Sanguine/005-1.jpg http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d42/spikyjames/Angels%20Sanguine/100_4067.jpg Next up for the army will be The Sanguinor. Let me know what you think. James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zekk_Sirius Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 I like it. Any chance of a pic with the Sanguinor amongst the other Sanguinary Guard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Pugnax Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 These guys look great. I really dig the metallic shading, and you pulled it off really well. The Sanguinor seems a little off to me, I think it's the shading on the legs and feet. It doesn't have the same cohesion as the Sang Guard.

Turel Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 Beautiful looking squad. Truly. Primed black I presume? - Turel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spikyjames Posted May 9, 2010 Author Share Posted May 9, 2010 Thanks guys Yeah, all primed black. james Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GumbaFish Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 Looking good, I can't believe you subject yourself to the pain of painting white over a black basecoat! I've been thinking I need some more practice with my metallics and these minis have started to grow on me. Perhaps I'll have to take a go ad a squad myself.

noodlenerd Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 crazy. The first time I've loved the bare heads on the SG, perfect poses and expressions to go with them. Especially like the two handed axe guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retributis Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 The sanguinar's golden armour somehow looks... flatter? than the SG's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
punkfish Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 I have to agree that Sanguinor looks a bit flat, but I also wonder if this is down to the sculpt rather than your painting as the Sanguinary Guard have turned out really well. Likewise, the angle of the photo may be a contributing factor. Maybe some extra glazes are in order. Spiky, I'm a fan of your Plog on Warseer, it's nice to see you pop over here every so often.

Chaplain Desmodus Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 Well he looks great, what else is to expect? :woot: I like that you gave the SP a regular colour scheme, but mixed in SG legs and jumppack to tie him in with the rest. :yu: I like that red, what's your recipe?

painkiller Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 Hi James, First off, your Sanguinary Guard look very top notch. Excellent job there. Regarding the Sanguinor, I think the flatness comes from the highlighting of the chest area, which in your case, is a lot of the same color acording to the picture (it might not be like that in real life). If you see the White Dwarf from april and the explanation of the Sanguinor in NMM, you will see that the upper chest is in fact very dark with edged highlights. Perhaps this technique of extreme edge highlighting would remove the flatness and give it the same look as the rest of the figure, which by the way, looks really good. Let me know if you need me to elaborate on it. Just my 2 cents. Sincerely, Painkiller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyst Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 I think that the SG model with the 2h axe is brilliantly posed. That will be all! :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
