Hello all! I have wanted to do these guys for a while. I have always liked the JP army. Now with bling and agel wings its even cooler. And the army works pretty well. I won best painted in my last tourney and secured third place. And went to the semi final ard boys this sat! So im stoked my fun army is doing well. I call the army The Cult of Sanguinus. everything has some sort of JP somewere. The gold turns out too bright in my lighting. I assure you its more toned down than the pics suggest:

fear my flame!

 

That about it. I have more pics but dont have em with me. Im workin on my next 10 vanguard and maybe another honorguard aquad. I need to paint one more squad of SG and ill have all 6 squads.

 

I hope you guys like em. Im gonna add a fortress of redemption as thier battle temple!

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.
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.

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

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.

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!
