Eagle Knights sanguinary guard


Here we have my Sanguinary Guard and Captain with jump pack. 


As you can see they are not resplendent in gold but rather black and foreboding with bling! 


The captain, not being part of the Guard itself, still wears his orange armour, just with winged pack and black robes and the familiar skull mask of the elites. I really like this model and while he hasn't had much in the way of conversation, I don't think he looks like an AoS model with a gun at all.

Next we have the Sanguinary Banner. Unlike usual banners, this is a brazier or torch. The model is obvious as there are no other models with models carrying anything other than axes. 


I probably could have spent more time on the brazier to give it some depth and colour but I don't think that it would make a massive amount of difference here. 




Here are the two Infernus pistol guard. I wasn't sure initially if I would actually include Infernus pistols in the squad but I decided that they might be useful against vehicle and especially monsters. Being able to chip a few wounds off before charging or, if they survive long enough, in subsequent shooting phases, could be very handy.


Again, there isn't a lot of conversion work on these models, mostly the addition of a shoulder pad, heads, jump packs and the weapons in place of the shields, but with how detailed the models are, I didn't want to cover anything or stick something on that would look out of place.

Scroll on left model snapped off, a minor issue with thin resin parts.


Lastly, we have the three remining Sanguinary Guard. The isn't much more to say here, they have the same minor conversion work as the others.




Overall I am very pleased with these models, both how the original AoS models have transformed in to very nice 40k models with out much effort and also the final product with the skull heads and jump pack. I really do think these are significantly better than the GW official Sanguinary Guard. I just need to finish the bases off now.
