TrawlingCleaner Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 Hi guys, back at the start of 8th edition I started an army of blood angels homebrew successors called the Sanguine Knights. I basically pilfered Halaandar's scheme for his homebrew because it was exactly what I wanted to do with them. My idea with them is that they're a relatively young chapter, maybe a couple of thousand years old that are very humanitarian like the Lamenters, Salamanders or SW. They get called to Baal like everyone else, are helping planets evacuate that are in the path of the hive fleet when they come across a planet with a huge population when they get caught by the fleet. They get forced underground to old underground citadel's and are very nearly wiped out, the command of the chapter is given to the only captain left as he's the highest ranking officer left and is then voted in after the Deus ex machina that was the malediction. I'm not a great writer but I might attempt writing some lore. The scheme I'm going for is white armour, dark red pauldrons and black trim. Blood drops will be blue and wings etc will be black. The white should hopefully look pretty bashed up and not a perfect white, so some areas of the armour should be drybrushed to look generally worn. The parts of the army that would be in the thick of the fighting will look more weathered, like assault Marines, dreadnoughts etc, whereas tactical Marines and devs will be a little less weathered. Hopefully I can pull it off. C&C is very appreciated IMG_20180607_210102 IMG_20180607_210114 IMG_20180607_210127 IMG_20180607_210142 This will be my captain, I might change the axe to be something a little more fancy and fitting of a Blood angle successor IMG_20180607_210037 Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/348001-start-of-the-sanguine-knights/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluejayJunior Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 Nice. Very striking color scheme. I like it Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/348001-start-of-the-sanguine-knights/#findComment-5101509 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pearson73 Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 Nicely painted white, the blue spot colour gives a good contrast. Really like the Captain, particularly the choice of head and axe, the blunt normality of it seems to fit the chapter's situation - fighting for survival and being brought to the edge of extinction leaves very little time to retrieve lost relics from the heart of the advancing swarm; better just grab what's to hand.

Brother Aether Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 As mentioned above; great painting scheme and style. Looks really nice. I also enjoyed reading the bit of lore here, and notion of humanitarian bent combined with an underground, entombed warfare theme could make for some very enticing lore to read (I'm envisioning difficulties with manifestation of the Black Rage in such a confined area, and perhaps issues with cave-ins or lurking underground xenos creatures that retreated from the surface after humanity arrived...) – I do hope to see more models and more lore!

Well you've sold me, I'm totally keeping it now Love the scheme! Looking forward to seeing more! Thank you dude! What did you spray white with? Corax white spray? Spray is Corax White, then base of Rakarth Flesh then layers of Ulthran Grey As mentioned above; great painting scheme and style. Looks really nice.

Yeah man, I imagine having someone go into the Black Rage about 5 foot away from you won't end too well. I'm not a great writer but I'll definitely give it a go Those are beautiful, I look forward to seeing more! What legs did you use for the captain? Beautiful?

dread05 Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 Did the corax white leave a chalky texture on the models? I had used it on a test model before using it as a base coat for some sanguinary guards, and the result was so bad I switched to retributor gold.

Damon Nightman Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 I love Corax White, use it almost exclusively (just not for DC). Recently, I had a chalky situation with it, but I thought it was either the moisture, humidity, or me holding the can too far away. The next day I tried again and it was good.

Since you gonna use this paint a lot, let me tell you what I've learned from my internet research. Corax white has to be sprayed from a lot closer distance than chaos black, cause the paint dries much quicker, resulting in that chalky texture. Theory says spray close and with low humidity.

I managed to spray the captain when their wasn't much humidity and sprayed closer than I normally would and it came out fine. Your theory was totally right, thanks man! I'll make a start in him soon and post some pictures Beautiful paint jobs. You're off to a promising start.

TrawlingCleaner Posted June 17, 2018 Author Share Posted June 17, 2018 I got most of the captin done, he just needs some touch ups and finishing touches.

TrawlingCleaner Posted June 18, 2018 Author Share Posted June 18, 2018 How do you plan o going with the cloak? At the moment, I'm not too sure. I think I'll highlight it and give it some depth and probably give it some dirt at the bottom but other than that I'm not too sure Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/348001-start-of-the-sanguine-knights/#findComment-5107621 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Majkhel Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 If you just highlight, then the overall color would be lighter then originally intended. I would shade the recesses first, then correct any imperfections with the base color, and then highlight. Preferably with at least two layers, building the highlight up for deeper effect. For shading you can use Agrax Earthshade or any form of darkened base color. You can darken it with browns, purples, blues or even a mixture of those. Black is treacherous as its usually awfully powerful and tends to give you greyish browns - ugly and flat. For highlights, I would use yellow rather than white. Or a mixture of yellow and white. You already have lots of white and with yellow, you'll add more color and get less pinky overall effect.Good luck! :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/348001-start-of-the-sanguine-knights/#findComment-5107647 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not too sure how yellow highlights on red would workYes, I have made a little mental shortcut, because of my own way of applying the highlights :P. I wanted to say that I would add yellow and white to the red to create the highlight color. Basically orange, as you say. Definitely not pure yellow, although you possibly could do that as a final touch after building highlights through oranges.

TrawlingCleaner Posted July 1, 2018 Author Share Posted July 1, 2018 So I've been working on some lore for the Sanguine sons. As I've said before they're a relatively young chapter, they've only been in a very few major conflicts. One of which was with the space wolves under the command of Erik morkai. They team up and bash some orks and the Sanguine Knights earn the respect of the Space wolves. Their Gene flaw is the same for the most part as the rest of the blood angels, obviously red thirst and black rage. They also have another flaw as that they are able to psycially shreek that causes terror in enemies. For most marines the shreek is difficult to make effect more than one target, so there are ancient sets of armour that are covetted by the SK. They're not sure where they came from but they are very important to them. Rules wise the only units that can use the psycic shreek are sanguine guard and Dante as they have the sangunious masks. Any tips or anything to add are appreciated. Captain Solomon of the 4th company is left as the highest ranking officer and the most favoured after the devestation of Baal story. They're currently trying to rebuild after barely having a full company from every other company collected. He becomes the chapter master but still wants to prove himself to all other successors and more importantly their progenitor.So as he's now a chapter master I've built a Dante count-as. C&C is very welcome. https://flic.kr/p/28CPnTb'>IMG_20180701_150718[/url] [url=https://flic.kr/p/28CPnUU]IMG_20180701_150725[/url] IMG_20180701_150732 Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/348001-start-of-the-sanguine-knights/#findComment-5115780 Share on other sites More sharing options...
