Sienna Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 http://s949.photobucket.com/albums/ad337/d...nt=DSC_0018.jpg This is my first prototype paint scheme for my all Sanguinary guard army. Hopefully my shipment of 6 more boxes will come in time for me to have an entire army built and painted. I am struggling with what do do about the flocking and base. Let me know what you think.

daboarder Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 Nice painting. As for the base I recomend setting him up on a peice of CoD and then add sand to the base.

igotsmeakabob!! Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 I like what you did with the wings, though I can't imagine them looking very.. NOT awkward from behind.

biglou666 Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 like the scheme, except the blue, i think its a bit too deep. try going for some mordian blue, then just touch the edges of the detail with ice blue. perfect blue detail every time. no wash. but yeah, like the gold, but the blue is a bit to..... clashy imo.

JamesI Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 Nice work so far, looks good. Not sure about the blue color either, but not sure how well a plain white would look against the gold.

Jarakin Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 I actually think a few heavy-ish drybrushes of skull white over the blue would look nice - a white with blue in the recesses could come up really nice.

Spagunk Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 I actually think a few heavy-ish drybrushes of skull white over the blue would look nice - a white with blue in the recesses could come up really nice. I agree with Jarakin and actually did that with my own test model: http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j165/spagunk/army%20completed/SGtest2.jpg http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j165/spagunk/army%20completed/SGtest5.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/201951-my-first-sanguinary-guard/#findComment-2406503 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anarchyman99 Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 I really like the red wings....very nice overall. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/201951-my-first-sanguinary-guard/#findComment-2406545 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sienna Posted May 20, 2010 Author Share Posted May 20, 2010 Thanks for the kind words. I will try drybrushing some skull white as suggested. I will also post a rear view when I get home. The wings don't look to akward from the back IMO and I really like the spread wings look.

Sienna Posted May 21, 2010 Author Share Posted May 21, 2010 Warriors 3. http://s949.photobucket.com/albums/ad337/d...nt=DSC_0026.jpg Ok now have 3 finished models. One with deep blue feathers/trim 1 with light blue and Dante with pure white. Which do you guys like best? also here is a back picture as you can see the wings of the guy on the left are not that awkward. http://s949.photobucket.com/albums/ad337/d...nt=DSC_0027.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/201951-my-first-sanguinary-guard/#findComment-2407744 Share on other sites More sharing options...
V Dubbed Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Paint Job: yes Re-Positioned wings: yes! Red Wings instead of the standard white: Absolutely! Swooping Hawk wings: Not so much.... But to answer your question... while the blue details added an interesting contrast, the model in the centre looks the best (the one with the standard wings and the white details) It might be the most cookie-cutter of the bunch, but the gold, red and blue just weren't jiving together and the swooping hawk wings.... well, i'm personally not a fan. Just my two cents! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/201951-my-first-sanguinary-guard/#findComment-2408065 Share on other sites More sharing options...
