Br0ther Rafen Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 Hey guys Just curious, has anyone tried to paint SG with red? I don't mind painting them all gold, but it would be nice if they were Blood Angel-ish. What do you guys think?

biglou666 Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 I am painting mine gold as we speak (their wash is just drying now! :o). In the fluff it says that the guard should be invariably gold, but they're your models, so you should enjoy and paint them how you want to! Some people follow the fluff, some people follow their hearts...

bulley Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 Nothing wrong with painting them red. If your running the actual Blood Angels chapter then ofcourse the fluff is they are gold, but I never have a problem with people doing "their take" on the chapter, in fact I welcome it, makes for a more diverse game/viewing during games etc..

Ebsolom Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 I think they'd be fine painted red, maybe with gold detailing? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/214656-painting-sanguard/#findComment-2555878 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynnean Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 they were meant to be gold in the fluff; but hey, i guess they'd look better in red too :lol: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/214656-painting-sanguard/#findComment-2555903 Share on other sites More sharing options...
I am Legion Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 I kibashed so hard that my RAS Marine (painted RED, with Yellow helmet) has wings and all the fancy bits. The model looks so good that using this concept you're guaranteed to have the nicest army on the table. For my army I plan to have guys with regular jump packs and wings intermixed. It'll make for one crazy looking Artificier armoured army, the way they were meant to be. So enjoy.

Cpt. Salvatore Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 Sang guard? All gold? Yes. Wanna awesome looking red models with those bits? Models that can look like SG and be A) Red :) Fluffy C) Tabletop effective? Join me and a lot of other brothers out there that used their SG kits on HONOUR GUARDS! And if you call in 30 minutes after this advertisment, you get picture of Sanguinius as a bonus and absolutelly FREE!

JamesI Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 My Astorath model is just a Sang Guard painted Red. Looks good. I will paint my regular Sang Guard gold though, just to distinguish them from Astorath.

Br0ther Rafen Posted November 8, 2010 Author Share Posted November 8, 2010 Thanks Black_Sky, that's a very good looking San.Guard. Yeah, i was thinking of something along the same lines, except i'd have a bit more gold.

Erasmus of Baal Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 I've been thinking recently that it might look good to have either a red body and gold wings or vice versa. I'm separated from my paints right now, so I don't know if I'll be able to try it anytime soon, but still.

Whitefireinferno Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 I remember seeing a article on GWs site Back when the codex first came out of Sangguard painted in Flesh Tearer colours Liooked much badass.

Leksington Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 In the codex, SG of the Angel Encarmine are white (with gold trim and black wings). I see no reason why another successor chapter's SG couldn't use Red.
