t4play Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 A foot slogger build maybe as cheap as poss, wondering if with auspex he'd be good with DEVS giving them FNP maybe a hand flamer to help when anyone assaults Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/301261-loadout-for-sanguinary-priest/page/2/#findComment-3906280 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deschenus Maximus Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 Mine is podding in with Sternguard, so I've given him an auspex to help them blast things and a Grav pistol to help him blast things Might as well drop one or the other, as you can't use both at the same time. I'd keep the Auspex, personnaly. A foot slogger build maybe as cheap as poss, wondering if with auspex he'd be good with DEVS giving them FNP maybe a hand flamer to help when anyone assaults That would be a big investment for little return, really. The auspex will most likely be out of range, and while FnP is awesome, you'd get more mileage out of adding more bodies to the unit than to adding a priest.

Helias_Tancred Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 Model-wise can you put a jump pack on the new SP? Or do you have to find an old one?

LutherMax Posted January 1, 2015 Author Share Posted January 1, 2015 I don't think the new model lends itself well to a jump pack. I kitbashed a jump one ages ago, this guy: http://www.themightybrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/Blood-Angels-Sanguinary-Priest-05.jpg It's odd that the best way to use Priests seems to be with jump pack or bike and the new kit isn't suited to either... But I like the model anyway so want to do something with it... Option seems divided on the best weapon so I have an idea... Magnets!

JamesI Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 I gave the new priest a SanguinaryvGuard jump pack just fine. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/301261-loadout-for-sanguinary-priest/page/2/#findComment-3906456 Share on other sites More sharing options...
LutherMax Posted January 1, 2015 Author Share Posted January 1, 2015 I gave the new priest a SanguinaryvGuard jump pack just fine. It's not that it doesn't fit - it does, it's just that the pose doesn't say jump troop to me - plus I already have one (see above) so I wanted to build this one as a foot slogger so I have a choice depending on my list. I need to decide how I'm going to use him and therefore what to give him - or magnetise his arm and a few weapons which is what I think I'll do.

I also have the old metal Sanguinary Priest from 5th edition with a jump pack and one of the FW apothecaries with a jump pack.

Brother_Mike Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 Yeah I think it would just be better to buy some command squad apothecary bits off ebay and convert a normal assault marine to a Sanguinary Priest instead of put a Jump Pack on the new Sanguinary Priest model. The pose to me lends itself to the priest being in a ranged squad of marines, like Sternguard or Tactical Marines than jumping around in a robe that'll catch on fire from the Jump Pack flames >.< Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/301261-loadout-for-sanguinary-priest/page/2/#findComment-3906549 Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsijben Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 These might have a nice pose: http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Warhammer-40000/Space_Marines/Space_Marine-Infantry-and-Accessories/SPACE_MARINE_APOTHECARY_SET.html I modified a Raptor Jump pack and that looks quite nice. But using the Command Squad can also work, though you wouldn't have a Blood Chalice which is a shame.

Your kit-bashed Sanguinary priest is better than the ones GW makes. I'd take your's over either of the two they've made recently. Your's is also a better Corbulo too! Grats man. Can you share the secret of that kit-bash? Its pro!

I've found the only great use is with SangGuard. Unexpectedly I'm now running two jump librarians for my HQ, I didn't take one last end at all. I suppose an auspex and axe priest in a podded stern guard squad could be OK.

LutherMax Posted January 4, 2015 Author Share Posted January 4, 2015 Interesting ideas here, thanks for the comments! The idea for the kitbash came from SinCain who has a blog here – full of awesome conversions and paint work. The bits are: - Legs / lower cloak & hooded helm - Dark Angels Veterans kit - Left arm - Command Squad kit - Torso / right arm / chainsword - Death Company kit - Shoulder pads / jump pack / wings - Sanguinary Guard kit Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/301261-loadout-for-sanguinary-priest/page/2/#findComment-3909198 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SincaiN Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 I agree man .. the pose has more of a planted look.. it doesn't look as fluid. Not that it isn't an awesome model .. though the price is a bit steep 8( ... I got the new codex for Christmas from my wife so I'm thinking about what I want to make up. I build the SP but added a DA hood'd head. I'll probably be working on that pretty soon. Well he's built but needs to be painted up 8) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/301261-loadout-for-sanguinary-priest/page/2/#findComment-3910437 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tame Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Model-wise can you put a jump pack on the new SP? Or do you have to find an old one? The classic jump packs don't fit well, but the Sanguinary Guard ones fit perfectly. So well you'd think this was done on purpose (if you don't mind the fact that the "vent" part of the jump pack will be hidden by the collar).

Quixus Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 You might be overpaying there. Angel's Wing gives you all the benefits of a jump pack plus the other good stuff. No need for a jump pack.

Spagunk Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Jump Pack Bolt Pistol Valour's Edge Veritas Vitae Angel's Wing With his 8 golden armoured pals and their big boss. So wait. The codex says that you replace "one weapon" with a relic off the list. If you are replacing your chainsword with valour's edge, and then equipping a bolt pistol, wouldn't the Angel's wing replace the bolt pistol? I am basing this off the fact that jump packs are specifically labeled as wargear, not weapons and only the crown and veritas exclusively state they do not replace one of the character's weapons.

After looking at it closer (magnifying glass), I think I got a bum copy. There is some very light smudging which could have been a printed character. So it doesn't look like a 6 is there in my book.

Spinsanity Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 I've got the print (English) version, and it does appear on the wargear list, page 51. The Relics' descriptions are on page 108, but the point costs and rules stating which relics must replace a weapon and which don't are on the wargear list.
