How Does everyone paint their sanguinary guard?

It's not Sanguinary Guard, but I use shaved down deathmasks for my counts-as special characters. The ones without much iconography can look a bit Michael Meyers-esque. This should give you an idea of how they look with only the halos trimmed off, no other stuff added:

Those are exactly the ones I was talking about, they look incredible!

Those are sweet as candy, sock. They knock mine out of the park. Love it.

Cheers, mate. In fairness I kept mine as masks rather than take on the task of turning them into helmets and yours aren't done yet, I'm sure they'll look just grand.

Ah, well glad to be of service and flattered to have been referenced in the OP. Thank you very much.

Awesome weapons xmercx! Where are they from?

weapons are from Kromlech http://bitsofwar.com/home/17-stygian-two-handed-weapons.html

Damn, Kromlech really want me fo order soon it seems tongue.png

I have a somewhat local store (bout an hour's drive) that actually stocks a wall full of the smaller producers like kromlech. I have a small pile of "impulse" buys >.<

I did mine cream with white highlights, because Alabaster isn't pure white.

 

But I always wanted to do some that were black with a very light boltgun metal drybrush and with red wings highlighted up to orange.

I painted my Sanguinary Guard a copper color on all the armor surfaces. It's noticeably different than gold, and I use copper as the "veteran" color in my successor chapter rather than gold. The rest of the army is near flesh tearer colors, with death company and chaplains being white. Do the dark reds and Black's make the white death company and copper shiny sanguinary guard stand out. Basing and accent colors are the same as other units to make them still cohesive.

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!

heres how the helmets look on my finished models:

will give you another heads up when I've painted them. (theres a few more pics of the squad if you follow the link in my signature)

Talking about the heads, I wonder how they'd look with Stormcast Eternal heads...?

unfortunately, those heads are a bit small(tiny really), BUT, they would work if you wanted to replicate the whole "pin-heads in power armor" aesthetic that GW seems to favor in their artwork.
