Sanguinius - Primarch of the Blood Angels


Enzephalon

Recommended Posts

Hey guys,

 

I'm here to present you my version of Sanguinius.

It's 95% finished. Some finishing touches are still needed, but overall I'm pretty happy, especially since I'm not that experienced using green stuff.

 

The idea is not new, and the credit for using the Necron nightbringer model as a base goes to at least three other guys.

But the idea impressed me so much that I needed to have my own.

Paid about 50 $ for the nightbringer and the wings. A hefty price tag for a single model, but compared to the new Angron model of FW it's a bargain. ^^

 

So...

Tell me what you think before I slap some paint on it.

Looks great but the pose is a little uninspiring. Its his sword arm and where he is looking mostly. Easiest fix would be a head move, angle looking up, more angelic. Harder would be start arms again and head. Stick them on an armature and move around d until you get something more interesting looking

Hey man,

I really appreciate your feedback, but the pose is pretty much the only thing I can't change.

; )

I like to keep the bands on his arms which are pointing downwards and the hood from the original mini. With these restrictions there is only so much I can do.

 

Also I like to have poses for my miniatures that represent them in a "in the middle of a battle" kind of style.

I can't stand things like that:

which is what you are suggesting. While it is indeed pretty inspiring, angelic and nice to look at, it's not something you would come across on the field of battle.

 

This is how I picture Sanguinius:

A big badass who smacks people in the face...

 

 

 

Concerning the size of his sword. It is actually pretty big. Same size as a nemesis force sword, but in comparison to the mini itself it seems to be smaller.

I have no bigger swords to use, but I'm open for suggestions.

I think the head pose looks good, I can imagine him coming in at speed about to turn a traitor into a crater.

 

Agree that the sword looks a little small. Even in the art you pictured, his red sword is only just a little shorter than Sang himself.

Awesome work but my first thought when I saw the picture was "Where are his legs?". Maybe it's the angle of the photo but to me it still looks like the Nightbringer, who just sort of materialises out of the ground, as opposed to an angel in flight.

 

Sorry to criticise as I'm a huge fan of your work.

No offence taken...

I think the pictures are misleading, since the Nightbringer does have legs.

Have a look at these two pictures:

Hi guys,

 

Today I finished painting my Magnum Opus (as for now).

 

This is for sure my most expensive single miniature, and the one with the most difficult conversion work.

 

I'll have to touch up his wings, but in general I'm happy how he turned out.

 

Hope you like him.
