Angels Sanguine WIP

[Captain Berengar]

Greetings brothers!

Excuses first: I have been reading this pages for ... years now, but have never shared anything yet. I am sorry for that and hope I can compensate that now.
Well, finally I started my new project: a (heavy?) customized Angels Sanguine battleforce, led by the fierce Captain Berengar.
This Angels Sanguine interpretation won't be influenced to much by other fluff than what is written in the C:BA and of course my personal taste.
Hopefully I can cast a smile on some faces and maybe inspire some of you, please enjoy!


Design limitations:

• my Angels Sanguine are strict with the helmet "rule", so every model has his head covered propperly
• to underline this, I decided to only use special helmets of a specific type (see below) - only exceptions: Scouts, c.a. Dante. I would like to create a kind of antique look (not necessarily pre heresy ) that symbolises amongst others the countless ages they are not taking off their helmets
• my Angels Sanguine will avoid any kind of aquila and main chapter symbols on their equipment (as far as possible). I simply do not like to to field equipment, borrowed from daddy Dante. The Aquila was a very exclusive symbol in the good old days of the crusade as you might know - I think it is used verry wastefully nowadays. Skulls are however very wellcome.
• left shoulder is always a modified Grey Knights pad
• backpack is always a modified Grey Knight pack
• jumpers are always the Sanguinary Guard ones ... without wings
• legs has to have seperate knee-pads
• as for the bits, only original GW bits are allowed (Greenstuff is of course a legit option )

Colours:

• body: red and black, halved (artificer armor is gold and black)
• helmet: left side shows unit type (red, yellow, blue, gold) just like for BA, right side is black though
• left shoulder shows the chapter symbol (exceptions for character models)
• right shoulder shows unit type and number (exceptions for character models)
• right knee shows company symbol (BA company symbols)

Well... as close as I could get (regular assault marine)


Scraps of fluff:

• I have not read the novels by Swallow or Goto yet, so I won't use their characters

[Brother Dallo]

I congratulate you on starting your project. I've been planning to start a topic for my Angels Encarmine for a good while now, but have never gotten around to it. How big a force are you planning? Will it be a pure force, or will some allies sneak in somewhere?

looking forward to seeing this develop :)

[Captain Berengar]

...for the kind words, Brothers!

I have made a small update in the first post : c.a. Dante, jetpacks, barrel holes, some battle scars and a hopfully better view on the Sanguinary Guard

How big a force are you planning? Will it be a pure force, or will some allies sneak in somewhere?

I am planning to add an unit of scouts and one assault terminator squad because I really want to build the models.

For gaming I might want to change the termies for something else later... this might grow huge over time .

It is going to be Angels Sanguine only for now.

edit: Oh I forgot the most important part... Next model will be Sanguinary Prist to join the Guard. After that comes the colour
Later units should get another priest each.

Well, thanks again and may the Emperor's light shine on you
