The Angels Sanguine. Making Chaos nervous since the second founding!

[Deusmex]

Now you will receive us.
We do not ask for your poor, or your hungry.
We do not want your tired and sick.
It is your corrupt we claim.
It is your evil that will be sought by us.
With every breath we shall hunt them down.
Each day, we will spill their blood till it rains down from the skies.
Do not kill, do not rape, do not steal, these are principles which every man of every faith can embrace.
These are not polite suggestions, these are codes of behavior and those of you that ignore them will pay the dearest cost.
There are varying degrees of evil, we urge you lesser forms of filth not to push the bounds and cross over, into true corruption, into our domain.
For if you do, one day you will look behind you and you will see us. And on that day, you will reap it.
And we will send you to whatever god you wish.
And shepherds we shall be, for Thee, my Lord, for Thee. Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, that our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command. So we shall flow a river forth to Thee, and teeming with souls shall it ever be.
In nomine Patri.
Et Fili.
Spiritus Sancti.

Cue gunshots ,screams etc etc.

Finally I have found my Saints, on a mission to rid the world of Chaos and all the evil it carries with it.

The aim; to build and paint 3000 points of divine retribution , in the shape of the Angels Sanguine.

A list will follow as soon as I have the codex.

Heres the first. An Assault marine .




My first attempt at the Chapter symbol. Better than I`d expected but not right yet. The skull as well as being a bit squint is too big. The wings will hopefully become neater with practice. Currently trying to source smaller skulls.



2 tacticals are on the painting table as I type, but Im waiting for Saturday to arrive and Im all excited like a kid on Christmas eve, at the prospect of some BA shiny bits and the codex.

Chaos beware. The Saints are coming.

Looking forward to seeing you deliver these Deusmex!
Good luck (and i'll keep popping in )

[eltanko]

Looks really good, especially with the hazard markings!! and the chest eagle looks really good too. Just needs a little more highlighting and shading on the main colours. But very nice start!

Nicely painted model there. I have to keep reminding myself I dont want to start BA but all these logs are telling me the other thing.

[Deusmex]

I love love love the Death company box.
Managed to bling 14 marines with it and I still have a few bits left, considering I was a bit heavy handed with the new bits on a couple of figures, thats pretty good going.

All these guys now have chapter specific bling somewhere on them.


I have to admit, I almost ditched these plans and went with a Blood angels army instead of the Angels Sanguine. Why? Well the BA shoulder pads in the DC box are awesome. But Im sticking to the plan, so I butchered some pads to make Angels Sanguine ones instead .

One of my favourite builds today is this assault marine sergeant.I think he just looks hard as nails and the symbol on the fist is the chapter badge of the Angels Sanguine, how cool is that??


Managed to cobble together a couple of fancy shmancy chapter pads from a couple of DC pads.I just wish there were more skull pads to make more of these, theyre too cool.


Now the painting can start in earnest and as luck would have it Im on holiday for a week woo hoo!

[eltanko]

Oh man I looove the torso on that assault sergeant. Looks medievil! Really looking forward to seeing these guys painted up!
Great to see more blinged up chapter specific marines, rather than just generic all rounders

ElTanko

[Frgt/10]

nice work so far
especially like the shoulder pads you've made from the DC box
keep it up

[BeatTheBeat]

Very nice! And good to hear you won't be switching to BA, it's always fun with the unusal chapters

Keep up the great work,
BTB

[ilikebmxbikes]

great army choice. the angels sanguine have always been very cool to me. Cant wait to see you hit up the new plastics with some paint.

[VenomBlood]

Guys, I envy you
I look at the new blood angels and envy, as in Moscow to buy them is still impossible
I wish you paint those cool guys as soon as possible

[Deusmex]

Thanks for the comments guys.

Not progressing quite as fast as Id like. Although Im technically on holiday, so are my kids.

In spite of this I have made some headway with 5 guys. The 4 Assault marines without jump packs and a Tactical Sergeant. I keep seeing really cool stuff on these models So I have to remember to paint it so it brings out the details , like the blood drop on the odd purity seal or the fuel gauge on the hand flamer .Cool stuff.

In the meantime heres some pics of how I do the red bits.

Spray black then Mechandrite foundation red. Im not too fussed about neatness at this stage.


Then Blood red.


Then inked and highlights. The one on the left was highlighted before ink the other after, dunno if theres a great deal of diference tbh.


All 5 are at this stage just now. From now on the batch painting is out the window and I paint each individually. Hoping to have 2 at least done by tomorrow night.

[Zujara]

Really nice work so far, keep it up! Boondock Saints in the first post right?

[Deusmex]

Have encountered a slight problem. The ink I have used seems to bleed through some colours I use on top of it. It took me 5 or 6 coats of white to overcome this problem on the skull on the shoulder. So for future reference I will need to be careful where I put it on the mini. Not the end of the world but a pain in the butt.

Other than that Im happy with this, the first finished mini with all the BA symbols. Took longer than expected but I have 7 at near completion to follow in the next few days.





Inerested in what people think of the Yellow on the helmet. Does it fit in, should the whole army be red n black helmets or does the BA colour coded system work for these guys too?

[eltanko]

He looks seriously kick ass! I love the look of the red wings on the shoulder pad, they are perfect!

ElTanko

[Tiller5]

I say go with the yellow helmets, but don;t make them too bright - I think the muted yellow you have going there suits them down to the ground. Keep up the good work!

[Deusmex]

Cheers guys, and yeah the yellow is growing on me.

I think this one still needs a little work. Its just not right yet, dunno why.The right shoulder pad is a bit of a bugger to paint. Anyway here he is.

[someone2040]

Wow, he looks amazing.
Really like how you've just used the yellow on the red half of the Angels Sanguine scheme, I think it really works well.

[Paraelix]

I really like the half/half helmets... Its how I planned to do them if I ever did

[Matt D]

where are those hand flamers from?

[Lew_b81]

I'm gonna go against the grain and say have wholly yellow helmets. I've always liked split schemes when they have a single colour for the helmet (even if the colour changes for squads like the Blood Angels). See the Storm Lords for an example.
Either that or go without the squad markings and stick to the red/black.
I'm either all or nothing!
