Charlo Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 They're probably a little too big, but the Storm cast make for some great "Daemons" for us. I know Knife and Fork uses Libby Dreads with summoning, well, these guys look like they could be what a deluded but fallen chapter might see the Daemons as - golden glowing warriors of Sanguinius!

Grazcruzk Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 That is actually a really great idea! I've had this back burner idea for painting up a Dornian Heresy BA force and hadn't considered this yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlo Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Considering I can get the set for £60 and then fence off the Chaos stuff (Or save for a rainy day) I'm really considering getting the set for conversions and such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlo Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Sorry for double post but also, that skull headed banner bearer? Coolest model i'vr seen in a while. Winged jump pack on him and he's my Astorath :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grazcruzk Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Yeah I was a little bit surprised by the skullish face when I first saw it, but I think it's pretty awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winged jump pack on him and he's my Astorath Yes, it's a weird turn for GW, having the priests of the Emperor's divinity with skull-heads! I'm surprised they didn't paint him black!

Charlo Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Looking at the Khornate Champion... With a head swap and the symbol removal, he's actually be a badass chaplain too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ushtarador Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 The foot-slogging guys with shields could make excellent sanguinary terminators or something :) just need some purity seals, some tubes and lenses and different heraldry on the shields!

Doctor Perils Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 The foot-slogging guys with shields could make excellent sanguinary terminators or something just need some purity seals, some tubes and lenses and different heraldry on the shields! Yeah, they would look pretty cool, but I think it would be best to take the ones with great hammers, and replace them with glaives encarmine and probably a twin-linked angelus bolter : these would fit more with the Sanguinary guard feel than the shields I think. However, as DeathWing Knights... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlo Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Yeah, DW Knights Is what I was thinking. Plus Sanguine Knights sounds so much more rad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
appiah4 Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Liberator models and Terminator Heads sounds like a more fascinating Terminator Squad than the BA Terminator Box.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlo Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Liberator models and Terminator Heads sounds like a more fascinating Terminator Squad than the BA Terminator Box.. Normal terminator heads? Noooo! Boo hiss! Mk2 heads or hooded if anything. Maybe even SG death masks :O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leviathus Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 hooded This! That'll look awesome! I've been thinking of turning a few in Sanguinary Guard terminators (you know the rumoured ones ;)) not in the fluff at all, but still cool :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Red Thirst Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Too much of a Greek Mythos vibe for my liking, that being said excellent conversion work Luther Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanguine_Blood Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 They're much too soft, flailing around and flat for my liking, I won't be touching these for my BA until I see a multipart kit, and even then I doubt it. They're like the difference between archaic and Hellenic greek sculpture, but with less stuff to recommend it See, I might get the ones with wings, JUST for the wings to put on normal dudes with Artificer armor, or to make a captain or special character. Nothing else about these miniatures interests me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolemai Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 hooded This! That'll look awesome! I've been thinking of turning a few in Sanguinary Guard terminators (you know the rumoured ones ) not in the fluff at all, but still cool Leviathus, there's always this ;) I may have used this for inspiration myself...

Jolemai Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Lord Celestant sprue: Anything we can do with this? They're probably a little too big, but the Storm cast make for some great "Daemons" for us.I know Knife and Fork uses Libby Dreads with summoning, well, these guys look like they could be what a deluded but fallen chapter might see the Daemons as - golden glowing warriors of Sanguinius! That could work well, either painted in gold or ethereal colours. Obviously I've been painting Sanguinary Guard at the wrong time as I'm daydreaming a lot about how to use Stormcast Eternals these days... and yes, I picked up the White Dwarf with the freebie...

Canadian_F_H Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 I still think I would grab one. That lord Celestant for example and use it as primarch for one of the lost legions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlo Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Freebie? Oh man, what did I miss! Also, I think this range of models is basically ensuring I call my Chapter the Blood Hammers or something similar. Hammers are the best and these models are basically perfect for how I've been invisioning my boys in black and red. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grazcruzk Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Converted up to be a counts-as Mephiston. Noticeably larger with the same style armor as the summoned daemons. It's almost too perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolemai Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Plasma pistol instead of the hammer? Could work... Charlo, the White Dwarf before last had a free model (first time in what, fifteen years?). Typically it sold out but you might find one at an Independent store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
