evildrcheese Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 Sternguard are amazing IMO. I've already got 15, with another 5 built and waiting their turn in the paint queue. I like to run 9 with Meph buffing with Divination. I give the sgt a power fist mainly to deter anything with a 2+ hoping to tie up meph for long.

Jolemai Posted September 24, 2015 Author Share Posted September 24, 2015 Caved in and got this guy. What can I say? he's limited edition after all... First port of call will be to change the head. Apparently, it's quite tricky to fit an armoured head in due to the collar, so I'll opt for a BA bare head instead (to be honest, there's probably a good third party option somewhere but...). After that, I may try him with a Sanguinary Guard jump pack; I'll certainly leave off his bolt pistol and find a suitable lightning claw.

Charlo Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 (edited) See now I'm tempted by him and a BA Upgrade Kit (bodies and heads though)... He needs a mk4 or 3 helm IMO But my backlog is already massive and u don't know if I need another random dude... Could make him a priest I suppose.

However, if I'm ever going to make something as half as awesome as this, it's a cheaper starting point Edited September 24, 2015 by Jolemai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evildrcheese Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 I too have ordered that limited FW guy. Not sure exactly what I'm going to do with just yet. I was think I might make a jump pack captain out of him, but we'll see. D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sockwithaticket Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 NIce. The muted scheme makes it look like they'd be able to hide effectively even though they're wearing red and light khaki. Aside from that bright glowing power sword of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jolemai Posted September 25, 2015 Author Share Posted September 25, 2015 Spent last night putting together the chaps from the Armour through the Ages box. So happy to finally have them Thinking the Mk I will be either a Sternguard Sergeant or a Captain. The rest will either be Veterans or Veteran Sergeants.

CaptainHelion Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 Played a game against my mate's Space Wolves to christen his new place. We decided to ramp things up, and play a 4500pt match. It was a lot of fun, but I won by enough of a margin that, combined with some truly atrocious rolling on his part, it didn't much feel like a win. Not sure how to deal with that in future.

tjr Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 So, kit-bashing Sanguinary Priests ... I have a WYSIWYG questions. Is it correctly understood that they don't necessarily hold a chalice in a hand, but that it could just as well be "represented" somewhere else, i.e. chest or shoulder?

Just say that is the vessel holding the blood. If anyone gives you lip just say to them "would you go into battle with a cup?" ....Expect a sarky response about groin protection though.

Lucumon Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 Why not the body of the priest as a Chalice? In the most base sense, he's a meatbag that retains fluids... Taking this one step further, and to totally Dan Brown: The Da Vinci Code it up, you could just paint up a battle sister and have her as "wargear" like the cherub for a Space Marine Devestator Squad....

tjr Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 (edited) Ah yes. Last tournament I played against SoB. He also plays BA. If I face his Sisters again and bring that cherub he'll either explode from anger or steal the idea. Dante and Celestine - still a better love story than Twilight. A Sister Repentia, chained to a bike and dragged behind it. So many people who could possibly be offended... Enough internet for today. http://img06.deviantart.net/25d6/i/2011/359/a/7/sister_repentia_by_mrmao-d4k6v7s.jpg Edited September 25, 2015 by tjr Lucumon 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please :)D Roughly speaking, he took Logan and his sled, thunderwolves with both special characters, storm wolf, stormfang, and a huge squad of wolf guard termies. I had my ravens, vindicators (two of each), a pair of death company, and a dante-priest sang guard deathstar. Oh, and my Hellhammer. Highlights would include nuking his thunderhammer-shield thunderwolves with three demolisher cannons first turn, including Canis Wolfborn, the two land raiders that immobilized themselves 18 inches from each other on the second turn, preceding to take potshots at each other, and do nothing else the rest of the game. They were both down to 1 hull point by the end of the game, at least. My friend got the hellhammer down to 3 hull points, but he had the land raider, the storm fang and Harald Deathwolf, who had but one wound, and I had about half my army.
