Olgerth Istaarn Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 Ever since I first saw the Sanguinary Guard models, something bothered me to the extreme, but I couldn't put my finger on it. Then I realized: it's the "Six-pack stomach" plates. On normal SM PA, belly armor connects and is "tucked in" to the belt. For the Sanguinary Guard, the stomach armor is "disconnected" from the belt, and looks odd. Does that bother anyone else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meltaface Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 Doesn't bother me and I actually like the nipples. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminatorinhell Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 I would guess it is kinda like mk4 plate, the armor just juts out in front of the belt, maybe a bit hard to move but not much off about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Droofus Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 Meh, it just looks more ceremonial than functional - like all the sang. guard equipment. But that just shows how awesome the BA artificers are, to create armor that LOOKS ceremonial, but is actually quite functional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattsama Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 Doesn't bother me and I actually like the nipples. Son of Slaneesh spotted!! But in all seriousness, I'm kinda on the fence about the modles myself... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rybnick Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 Personally I love the way the models look. The nipples, the untucked armor, all the inconography, the wings everything just works together so well and really makes the models stand out on the table as they should.

Cstriker01 Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 I plan on really using the Sang guard kits for bits and heraldry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zealadin Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 The nipples and the wings are both terrible let downs to me. Honestly.... of all the wings in the entire WH/40K universe they are the only really really lame versions. They are limp and sagging. I would have to give them normal JP's to feild them just to avoid those horrible horrible wings The nipples can just be removed though, easy fix, but it does make you wondering what they where thinking. Honestly, if your going to steal a concept from somewhere else get rid of the bad bits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grey Mage Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 The wings arent limp, theyre just half furled. Looks great on my pair of Wolf Gaurd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See I REALLY dont get the hate for the nipples, Tycho and Mephiston have had nipples for YEARS hell dante would have them if he didnt have a giant symbol on his chest.

QFT I really don't understand what's wrong with the nipples... They confer an archaic roman-greek look to the armor which is preety cool IMO.

Brother-Captain Devlonir Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 The only thing wrong with the nipples is someone on this forum (probably a non BA player) pointing them out and going OMG LOL G4Y! And all the other silly boys followed suit. And a B&C meme was born. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haunter! Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 The SG nipples make me think of Batman & Robin (the abomination of a film). That is never a good thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daboarder Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 what about the Tycho nipple? I say nipple because IIRC he only has one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aarkon Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 I have one box of the Sang. Guard that will be put together as they are ment to be. The second box I got for getting second at the first round of 'Ard Boyz I have been using to kit bash into other things. I have used several parts to build two Librarians and I think the armor looks really nice painted up in a dark blue with gold trim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grail Knight Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 I do not like the sanguinary guard models is the only box that I do not buy, and I think I never will I use vanguard veterans in gold armor to represent my sanguinary guards. agree, I do not like the nipples, nor the six pack... they are WARRIORS, no a He Man fan club!

Brother Nathan Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 i have no problems with the moedels them selves, i just hate the armoured legs stance that makes them look like they are about to fall backwards.... And on the nipples thing, well lok at chaplins and the skull thing. its based of something real and is supposed to be fersome to look at. which marines use to teir benifit. now look at how people view nipples, same difference. just shinier. What would be bad would be if someone painted them flesh coloured, and we know some noise marine will eventually...after they over extend at least one of the pecks....

So the greeks and romans can't have been warriors then, what about gladiators? This style of armour isnt some arbitary design by GW its based upon historical examples.
