Rhavien Posted November 28 Share Posted November 28 Finished building my Sanguinary Guard. They definatly lack the individuality of the old kit, but make up with proportions and dynamics. I tried to swap some arms to avoid duplicate poses and I would say it worked. I wonder if GW will limit the banner to a model with spear someday.

They look good, I honestly think they’re nice models, the official paint jobs weren’t good but actual kit was enjoyable to build and the only thing I’ve ended up personally changing is the obliques I don’t think they’ll limit the unit that way honestly, though I’m going to keep that as my one guy with a spear I think Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/297201-ba-today/page/521/#findComment-6078172 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine has a fist, so already obsolete if you WYSIWYG . But honestly I wouldn't care either way. My spear guys will be all swords for now. The spears look much cooler IMHO and are also a very uncommon sight on 40k battlefields. But on the other hand swords are still swords, hence cool as heck . Talking about swords. I think it's odd that all the new power swords more or less look the same. Upgrade sprue, Sanguinor, new Captain, sang Guard... Seems Cawl is really churning out new standard issue wargear...

Paladin777 Posted November 28 Share Posted November 28 Mine started with a fist, along with three others. Got them sorted now. They worked well last game. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/297201-ba-today/page/521/#findComment-6078234 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Generally I think the Fist is better but the build with Relic Weapon and Rage Filled Warrior to max out on Mortal Wounds is cool and I want to take it for a spin.

DemonGSides Posted December 2 Share Posted December 2 The new ones didn't need much'; something more to bulk out the jetpack, a complete re-do of the helmet (Hence why I went FB) and some actual ornateness to their panoply (Which is why I went with the FB shoulder pad and FB Weapon), and then small things; giving him a wrist mounted Inferno Pistol because why wasn't it already that way; I'm going to add some more doo-dads to his waist as it feels a bit empty with just the tabard. But maybe I'll leave this one as is and start mocking up a paint scheme.

I've seen so many different wing kits appear online since their announcement lol Those are just the former kit wings. I had 10 of em and never put wings on them when I had them built, so I've got 10 pairs of them. The big decision was between sweeping back and sweeping forward. GF liked the pictured form most so that's what I went with lol Blindhamster 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/297201-ba-today/page/521/#findComment-6078881 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paladin777 Posted December 8 Share Posted December 8 (edited) TIL that the foot captain with RFW can solo a unit of terminators+character... I went 2-1 at an RTT yesterday, taking 14/32. One of these days I'm gonna have a round one that isn't against someone that ends up top 5!

Paladin777 Posted December 9 Share Posted December 9 Yeah, looking back he was a very savvy opponent with a well tuned list. I wish he'd been faster though. We only got to the bottom of round 3, and we finished both my other two matches with plenty of time to spare. To be fair, my 2nd match was against 2 stompas and a bunch of grots!

Casual Heresy Posted December 13 Share Posted December 13 Had my first game with my BA last night. 2000pts against a mates Iron Warriors. I got very lucky with some rolls, he was very unlucky with others. But when the dust settled, the Angels stood triumphant with minimal casualties. Dante and his guard were a power house. Lemartes and his boys did manage much but they were a massive distraction so still a successful outing. Favourite moment was The Sanguinor dropping in to rescue Lemartes and his last charge that got charged by the Chosen. We were testing list ideas for a tournament at Warhammer World in February and I think I'm happy with mine now. List has all the tools I need for a successful game with redundancies built in, and while it is strong I don't feel like terrible person using it. Looking at the competitive BA LAG lists that have cropped up since I wrote it, my list has ended up similar but I've steered away from being to oppressive hopefully.

Rhavien Posted December 15 Share Posted December 15 Had a game last evening against my friends Grey Knights. He was playing the new detachment. I wanted to try something outside my regular list and used some unpainted models this time. I forgot to add the gravis captain on the groupshot. He got speed of the primarch, giving me three fight first units. It was a massacre. We ran out of time after turn three. I still had all my vehicles and the assault intercessors with captain and priest, whilst he was stripped of all anti tank and only had some guys left on the field. Was also way ahead of points. There was this one situation, where he stepped in overwatch range of my redeemer. It was an unnecessary move but he insisted, that he made a failure and wanted to take the pounding.
