Astorath and New Sanguinary Priest


Magicstorm

Recommended Posts

good stuff, though for painting the white try a base coat of the space wolf highlight blue...the brighter of the two. It covers really well and is perfect for white to go over..and then maybe do some glazes with it as well.

 

I think your astorath is alot better personally.

I'm sorry but why is the Sang Priest that GW built not even have a blood chalice? I mean, he comes with a Blood Chalice right? It's what gives off the FC bubble. So why not model it on? If it doesn't have a chalice in it's hand then it's not a real Sanguinary Priest IMO. Sorry.

IIRC the only model that has ever claimed to be a Sanguinary Priest was from the old BA Honour Guard box and I don't think they actually came with Chalices back then. They were just ordinary Apothecarys with a different name.

The only model thaqt comes with a chalice is Corbulo, I have the BA honor guard from way back and it did not have a chalice... and like James said not every priest has a chalice with him... now I painted my sanguinary priests white (with the exception of corbulo) to make sure that people look at my army and know which are the priests even if they dont carry a cup... its still a blood angels army :D

 

Hope that clears up the question :)

Not every priest has a whole blood chalice as there aren't enough. As stated on p48 of the blood angels codex bottom right hand corner "many blood chalices have been lost to the caprices of war". Those who do not carry a whole blood chalice carry a shard from one of the many broken chalices in there narcethium. The GW model magicstorm used has a narcethium so there for is a "real sanguinary priest".

 

Corbs is not the only priest to carry a whole blood chalice. He is however the only one to bear the red grail as this is a unique item. As stated on p49 of the blood angels codex The difference being it is the chalice that sanguinius's own blood was preserved in after his death.

 

My own priest carries a whole blood chalice but this is because I originally built him as corbs for the pdf. I have been busy in work and I am only painting him just now though! I will need to set up a wip blog on here to motivate me to finnish my army.

 

I like the white on the priest its very crisp. I also like astro's axe good work magicstorm
