Honestly, the new SG are perfectly fine, BUT they would be great IF THEY HAD THE WINGS!
Spears should have been s7.
Thanks for the video
i thought the angelus boltgun was gonna be better than your standard pistol, and i do miss the wings. They could have gotten smaller wings like the chaplain with jumpack got.
I think the best character to attach them to is a Thunder Hammer+Storm Shield Jump Captain. It’s a unit that WANTS to be in melee, has some added durability and a strong weapon. So the defense buffs really help out.
I would love if they happened to be 40 PPM, but seeing as they're essentially baby Custodes, I'll take 45
Models look great, gonna try just painting normal heads gold in an attempt to not have to use the stormcast heads lmao
Overall, very excited about this unit
The spears need to be base Str 8 to be even considered over the swords sadly… 😢
GW need to errata that in 6 man units you can take at least 2 Inferno pistols, not just 1…which is just stupid based on what everyone will model from the box! 😓
They should be OC2 base and the Banner makes them OC3 each…
Angelus Boltguns need AP1 back desperately…potentially even AP2!
Seems pretty balanced. Basically a jump pack bodyguard unit rather than a foot slogging one like Bladeguard.
Greytide studio backpacks problem solved
You know, to those who say the new sanguinary guard look like Stormcast… if anything the old ones look more like old Stormcast models with worse proportions, with their more pronounced spiky helmets along with the wings.
let´s say they will be at 150points per 3. They are a bit to weak in my Opinion. I would give atleast 1 Inferno Pistol per 3 models so could have 2 in a 6 man group. The BOLTGUN (should be named Boltpistol) for me if hitting on 3s it should have like S5 with -1AP. Other Idea 1A BS2 S5 AP-1 D1.
Melee :
The Blades are Good as they are BUT the Spears are whatever. Spears should be something similar to Custodes Axes. like 2-3 Attacks WS 3, S7, AP-1, Dmg 3 with Lance.
They look great in Ultramarine blue. Wouldn’t mind running them as Vanguard Vets
I do not care how good they on on tabletop, i am not buying those models
They took the axes, the wings, and the helmets. L models
Something kinda worth considering when getting these guys: their kit can basically also be built, with only minor convertion, and painted as 3 blood angels jump pack captains, or 3 blood angel captains on foot if you have spare backpacks and don't mind the poses. That makes them a very versatile kit
In a game where there is so much access to anti-infantry 4+ guns, theyre hardly better than terminators.
So much better to just take 10 jump pack intercessors and call it a day.
it would be stronger if they where not just flying stormcast custodian guard rejects.
I would love if the points went down just a smidge and the spears were a bit more usable compared to the swords
Where are these for sale?
With such an iconic looking unit why GW went so lazy with the design is frustrating.
Wow…those spears are Bizarrely underwhelming
I might be entirely alone in this, but.. I actually prefer the SG without wings, if only for personal bias; see, my favorite unit Editions past was the Honour Guard, those gold-plated fly boys I kitted out and had with my HQs, and when those went out of favor or altogether, the new (annoying to assemble) SG just didn't fill that void for me.
I totally get the feelings on the wings being clipped, or the "downgrade" in embellishments fans feel, but for me? I come from older times when the models weren't blinged out, so I guess I'm just more comfortable?
Either way, I respect the stances, and respect the Primarch level of effort you always give Auspex, I come here for news and info because it's always so swift and reliable! Thank you! 🙂
Definitely getting these boys and throwing on some 3d printed wings
These seem pretty terrifying – especially on the terrain-heavy pariah boards. Synergies with the chapter-specific detachment rules too! They just don't seem to have any downsides – at least Deathwing Knights are slow and only 1OC! Gonna be very points-dependent, though.
I really like them, but man I wish they would have buffed their shooting stats a bit, maybe to liken 2 shots of an absolvor bolt pistol or at least a heavy bolt pistol.
Any idea when Blood Angels get their points ?
