Sanguinary Guard + 1

It's taken some time, but the Sanguinary Guard are now more or less complete. There is no writing on scrolls or anything - I'm saving that for when I know I can do a proper job of it.

Overall, I'm happy without how they turned out. The gold armour worked well, the gems everywhere fit, and the banner turned out quite nice. The power weapon effect, however, I'm not liking. I still haven't sorted myself out yet with the glow of power weapons, but I think I'm closing in on something that works for me. What I've done so far is just experimentation, blending with blues and aqua, but the final white edging ruins things a bit, and I really needed to cover more of the blades. There will likely be investigation involving drybrushing at some point.

The +1 model is a finecast with minor adjustments to give him a few more Blood Angel specific icons. The base is currently unfinished, but it's not far off. While I do like the model, working with finecast is a pain (so many little things to fix up during the preparation phase) and I'm definitely going to stick to plastic as much as possible. I'm not sure if the special model will be a Captain, or Honour Guard yet. At the very least, he has Terminator Honours and a big axe.

Excuse the bad photo again. Still stuck with poor lighting and a smartphone camera.
