Tro_lee boy Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 I am thinking of buying a box of sanguinary guard and was thinking of either converting it to vanguard veterans or into a libby, reclusiarch and 3 snag priests. I mostly play against tau and have a lot of trouble with broadsides and crisis suits. I was thinking of using the vanguards to disrupt them and tie them up with a heroic intervention. I play a hybrid army but have a problem of mostly using either Mephy or Dante and they are just a massive points sink. The sang priests would add some much needed survivability. So what do you think?

Brother Nathan Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 id go with a bit of both, infact id say get a death co box too and mix between the 2 and give yourslef the ability to have a flashy libarian, a dark and brooding chaplin, priests that are a bit of both and blinged vanguard vets... using pure sanguard bits will just make them look like vanguard painted differently... tats my thoughts anyway...

Quixus Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 For the Sanguinary Priest you would still need a narthecium, which are kind of hard to come by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Chris Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 Or a grail, which are even harder! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Crimson Cartel Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 For the Sanguinary Priest you would still need a narthecium, which are kind of hard to come by. A little bit of creativity can go a long way... Check out my conversion Here just about all the way on the bottom of the page. A few bits here and there, and boom, suitable narth. And depending on how you paint your priests, they should stick out enough so your opponent knows whats what. -CC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quixus Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 That looks really good. I spy a Sanguinary Guard arm and an Auspex. What's the rest? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesI Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 I made several ICs out of my leftover SG parts (I bought 2 boxes, but only made 1 squad of SG). I made an Astorath, Tycho, Dante out of SG parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Crimson Cartel Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 That looks really good. I spy a Sanguinary Guard arm and an Auspex. What's the rest? Yes, that stuff and... A few bits cut off the back of any marine vehicle searchlight, an antennae off of the rhino driver helmet, the handle/grip of the BA combat knife for the probie bit, and though its hard to see in the pic, a bit "wire" bit off of a forge world jump pack. -CC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volcatus Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 Like some of the others here, I used some extra SG bits to make Sang Priests. http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f289/Razzuran/Sang-Priest-1.jpg I prefer grails for the Priests, and Nartheciums for the Novitiate.

Tro_lee boy Posted June 13, 2011 Author Share Posted June 13, 2011 I only have enough money for one box so it's one or the other right now. I'm not too fussed about the narthecium because painting plenty of white on it should be enough for my group. What would you suggest? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Nathan Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 i would suggest if you are making a priest put as much of the chalice decorated bits from what ever kit you are making them from just to satisfy everyone... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
