How Does everyone paint their sanguinary guard?

I'm pretty happy with how I've painted my army, but I'm planning on selling up and starting over with a successor chapter (Maybe Angels Encarmine) but I really want my sanguinary guard to look particularly special.

My current SG is just the default gold & stuff but with a moderate amount of blood, I love 'em, and I think they could sell pretty well, but I want to know how you guys have done them.

 

PS: I know I've seen a really cool white and red SG on this forum before with smooth edged masks but for the life of me I can't find them, if anyone knows the original post I would be eternally grateful!

I just did mine in the regular Gold and white wings. If I was to paint them differently I would definitely do the alabaster of the Angels Encarmine. Just google search them and one of the first photos is of some Sanguinary Guard. They look wonderful. I like the idea of it as it seems to tie back to Eastern Colors where white is the color or death and sadness. Fits the motif very well. 
 

Nope.

 

The successor Chapters invariably maintain a Sanguinary Guard and Death Company of their own, following the same colour schemes as those laid down by the Blood Angels. The only exception are the Angels Encarmine who adorn both these specialist units in alabaster white armour.

Surely that's only in the fluff for Chapters GW have made and pertains to them? It's not a hard written rule?

I was very jealous of the person he sold that army to..... But as a consolation prize, he converted and painted a Secret Santa mini for me last year. That reminds me.... I need to get painting ...cry.gif Not on Wolf_Pack's model mind you.... On someone else...

I go for white with black wings, just like the way they look alongside my Flesh Tearer marines, nice contrast against the dark red.

 

Sure I could think up some fluffy reason why the Angel Encarmine guard are assisting Seth and the gang.

 

But go for whatever floats your boat! Always nice to see something original.

 

Peace

I've trimmed the deathmasks and then greenstuffed them to look more like helmets. I can try to snap some pics tomorrow if you're interested?

That sounds good, I'd love to see them!

Here you go mate. Sorry the pics are not great, and the greenstuff needs a bit of tidying up, but you should get the idea. I've tried to make them look like modified mkVII helms.
