Phiasco Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 So as I'm getting ready to put together my successor chapter, I'm tempted to give everyone sanguinary guard wings. Including the terminators and power armor guys that are sans jump pack. Has anyone ever seen an army modeled this way? Did it look good, or was it too much? Thanks!

BrotherCaptainArkhan Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 There was a Grey Knights army by Awaken Realms that followed this concept zealously (pun not intended) a while back. Whilst exquisitely modelled, it had a Marmite effect on viewers - people either loved it or hated it. Winged Terminators either seem to look awesome or fall too far into the realms of unbelievability for many hobbyists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paikis Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 I don't even think about how much its going to cost you to get all those wings. At 55 bucks australian per 5 dudes (assuming you buy Sanguinary Guard kits to do this) you're looking at almost 200 bucks for just a tactical squad. Even if you're made of money, I think it'll probably still look pretty bad. Im cringing just imagining it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlo Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 I think having wings on everyone would just cheapen them overall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emicus Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 If YOU think it's going to be awesome, do it :) It's your army and it should be as awesome as you can make it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evildrcheese Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 If you want to do it, do it! You'll have a unique looking army and it sounds pretty cool to me (make sure you start a thread here so we can follow your progress). My only condition is you call the Successor Chapter 'The Red Bulls' ;) EDC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arkaniss Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 The mind boggles at the cost of getting enough for the task! As already mentioned it's your army so do what you want etc... but I admit to never having seen wings on a Terminator before and thinking about it I'm not sure it'd work. Though I'll happily be proved wrong if someone can point me in the direction of some good pictures! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arkaniss Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Hmm! They look alright. I was thinking of the standard Sanguinary Guard ones slapped on a Terminator but the different design of those wings fits better. Still not my thing but I concede that they're not as horrible as first imagined ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rear shot looks pretty horrible even with awakenrealms skills on hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
