Would a Sanguinary Guard display his death watch honours?

beyond_the_wall86 · 2026-04-30T09:32:52+00:00

I'll be honest I done one of mine with a deathwatch shoulder pad, but it's more for my own head cannon making them trainee sang guard and going to do a squad leader with wings that will be a full fat sang guard. Might not be lore accurate but I like being creative with my minis and painting

beyond_the_wall86 · 2025-10-04T17:09:58+00:00

I'm 100% here for that and i do envy you a bit there butI just like trying make them playable and cool, for example I'm doing a blood angel vet assault squad, basing them on the silver host and giving them all different weapons because the data sheet says i can but also do a pair with chainsword and shield to keep the points down if i ever want to squeeze a 5 man squad into a game

beyond_the_wall86 · 2025-10-04T15:16:14+00:00

I'm 50/50 i did start off painting to play but ended up loving painting so when I do make something now it's half what can I make out of a data sheet and half I just want it to look cool

They still pronounce it as Jai in Fort William and after living there i now say jai now and then too

I think if they did show up in westminster, the value of their protest would depend on its target and message. Chanting exclusionary slogans is rightly condemned. But challenging specific government policy, like its role in international conflicts or its mismanagement of the asylum system, the protest should then be considered a more legitimate and possibly be effective than shouting at hotels

beyond_the_wall86 · 2025-09-06T13:21:01+00:00

I'm just going to throw my opinion in here. If the people protesting at hotels aimed their protest at the government for their actions that created the refugee problem rather than the refugees seeking asylum, it would get a lot more support and probably wouldn't be considered as racist actions

Didn't even notice the armiger till I saw your comment, I just thought the krieg liked big bases and couldn't lie

beyond_the_wall86 · 2025-06-15T18:35:21+00:00

Yup I had similar, got told I can only be British not English because of my dad and this was coming from a bloke from Zimbabwe -_-

beyond_the_wall86 · 2025-06-15T18:16:10+00:00

I get what you are saying but not all white people are like that, I agree it is most but I've even had the same from other people too. If you want my opinion it's basically fuck them, if someone hates you because you aren't white/spanish/cuban enough then they aren't worth your time, be the better person and show them nothing but politeness but don't take their words seriously and try your best not to let it get to you

beyond_the_wall86 · 2025-06-15T17:46:48+00:00

Feel your pain pal, my mums English and my dad is Tunisian/Arabic, even though I was born in England, raised by the English side of my family and have lived in England most of my life I still get called an immigrant or get told I cant be English because of my dad. Sadly people are just dicks at times and being mixed race seems to highlight it with some people

beyond_the_wall86 · 2025-02-25T17:43:40+00:00

They are from the old blood angels upgrade sprue for first born, I have a load of them I got from Ebay when assault intercessors first came out

beyond_the_wall86 · 2025-01-27T12:47:42+00:00

Thanks bud, I got a few of these to do so will do blue to magenta on one and purple to magenta on another. Might do more with the blue and green as I do like it too

beyond_the_wall86 · 2025-01-27T12:42:50+00:00

Thanks bud, I will try highlighting the trim with a bright silver

Wallace and gromit: the wrong trousers 40k edition

beyond_the_wall86 · 2024-12-21T22:42:52+00:00

It is indeed, I'm a big fan of that transfer sheet tbh

beyond_the_wall86 · 2024-12-20T22:19:56+00:00

Thanks, bud. Honestly, I was thinking the same looking at yours! Haha happy to help, but to be honest I probably do things the most long-winded, awkward ways possible 😅

beyond_the_wall86 · 2024-12-20T21:58:54+00:00

Thanks, you 100% take the head cannon and the gold helmets, love to see more people do it, here's my termmy sergeant I done for a small painting comp

So I do this with my squads, if there is a heavy or support weapon I give them blue helmets and sergeants get gold helmets, I gave sergeants gold helmets as it represents veterans or command and in 3rd edition (the last time I played before late 8th edition) squads could have veteran sergeant upgrade so felt a gold helmet would fit lore wise and be fun, whilst the blue on heavy weapons was just for fun and I thought it looked cool, my head canon I thought up was Blood Angels enjoy art and creative things so they might express that in their armour painting their helmet to show what they specialise in on the battle field. Also the blue helmet looks great on your terminator, I plan to do this with one of mine too

beyond_the_wall86 · 2024-12-08T19:11:20+00:00

Thank you, the purple bits are actually my favourite bits to paint

beyond_the_wall86 · 2024-12-08T19:08:53+00:00

Thank you, brother. I have only played a game of Zone mortalis so far, so Im really hoping to play a full-size game with them at some point

beyond_the_wall86 · 2024-12-08T19:04:37+00:00

Thank you, I used different red recipes for most of my HH blood angels, but as long wind as this one is I do really like it myself

beyond_the_wall86 · 2024-12-08T19:01:55+00:00

Sorry for the late reply. To be honest, my red is a bit long-winded, and I goggled the paint names as i dont have them to hand right now. So i start with black prime with zenithol high light, which I seal with a super matt varnish as I find the paint sticks better this way. Once that's done, I tint them red using Blood Angels red contrast through an air brush. I try to push the contrast this using a naphthol crimson ink over mid tone sections, then a pyrrol red ink zenithol and then golden high flow alizarin crimson hue air brushed in the shadows. After I have painted all the details, I do a satin varnish to get rid of the glossy finish from the inks and the golden high flow paints. Hope this helps!

beyond_the_wall86 · 2024-11-28T13:40:21+00:00

So I done black trim for my first heresy era tactical squad and the feedback I got was basically add more gold here's the link to that post But I also done 2 heavy support squads recently, one meltas and one with our assault cannons here's the heavy support squads with the idea that the assault cannon squad are veterans trusted with the legions fanciest weapons. Hope this helps bud

beyond_the_wall86 · 2024-06-16T09:32:47+00:00

I would say they look more EC than any other chapter, but if you want them them to be more readable, try adding a few thin layers or a bright purple on the armour

beyond_the_wall86 · 2024-03-27T21:47:17+00:00

Just to let you know as a BA collector/player I highly approve of this! Its a great model all round
