Chaplain Gunzhard Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 Wow gorgeous... I love them. And I did exactly the same thing with that direct-order BA sergeant... well no hand flamer... but I made him my priest also.

wookielips Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 you got a libby planned in your force? making SG 2+/5+ w fnp is clutch. my SG always seem to catch all the heavy fire, they are too dangerous not to shoot up. that cover save without having to risk them jumping into/out of cover is nigh-on essential.

Loki73 Posted June 6, 2010 Author Share Posted June 6, 2010 Thanks wookie...I have one planned. I may run some games to test him out. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/203378-my-start-on-a-sanguinary-guard-army/#findComment-2426202 Share on other sites More sharing options...
wookielips Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 considering his cost and what he can save you? totally worth it. i mean, a 5 man SG squad with 2 IPs, a PF and a chapter banner is more pricey than termis, model for model. why not give them a cover save? and a libby with JP aint pricey at all. throw in an IP or PP and you have a nice little unit that can really add some flexibility to your army.

Loki73 Posted June 7, 2010 Author Share Posted June 7, 2010 Should i do the epistolary upgrade? I was thinking the unit preffered enemy thing would be usefull as well.

wookielips Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 short answer? no. long answer? no, and heres why. almost all of our powers are based on player turn, so plan accordingly when picking what powers he has. shield+____ is fairly standard. that way, you use shield in opponents shooting turn, and _____ in your shooting/assault. this does leave you without your force weapon, but remember: its still a PW, and you only paid a small price for what you are getting, so don't stress it a lot. my personal fave combo is shield/unleash rage. re-rolling hits without having to bring a chappie along can really swing the tide of a battle. shame the libbie can't take force-claws (LC w the ability to insta-gib). THEN we'd be talking about somethin'............ :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/203378-my-start-on-a-sanguinary-guard-army/#findComment-2426679 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki73 Posted June 7, 2010 Author Share Posted June 7, 2010 That is a shame would make a nice modeling project as well.

wookielips Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 also, be sure to pay close attention to what you are charging or are in CC with. there is no reason to save your power during assault for a force weapon insta-kill if what you are trying to kill has eternal warrior. i often ask my opponent about my target pre-charge, so i can use my power to its maximum benefit.

Sanguinarian Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 Sweet looking army, and I absolutely love the flaming sword. Uhhh, are those wings fireproof? ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/203378-my-start-on-a-sanguinary-guard-army/#findComment-2428238 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prosedragon Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 It's from the Empire Wizard from Fantasy right? If not I have one that looks just like it - I never could figure out how to implement it for full effect though. You nailed it, it looks great.

Loki73 Posted June 9, 2010 Author Share Posted June 9, 2010 Yes its the flaming sword form a fantasy empire wizzzzad! It was tricky to get the sword on right I clipped the original off above the hilt. filed it flat. then i clipped the plastic sword just below the hilt, cause the gutter will cut farther than the eye sees. I filled that dow as well. Made sure they laid flat against each other and glued. I often wonder why he doesn't catch fire!
