just discovered your channel and I gotta say, your videos are so high quality for such a small channel, and it's been a joy to just watch through them all even if I'm probably never gonna run blood angels. looking forward to see what you do in the future and to watch the channel grow! ^-^
And now we need the Death Company in a new video . Not theat we dont have so many black armor vids out there , but we dont have 1 from you . like your vids andy have done my 1 Blood Angel like you paint theam. thx
Brings back memories of my SG. I do like your version better then the first born and if I had a single Iota to play 40k anymore I'd probably do something similar. nice work
Love your take on the gold im going to paint my Sang Guard like that also. Its hard for me to find the Scale 75 so im going yo try Tainted Gold from Army Painter.
Do you mean the ones that come down vertically on either side? I don't think so, but you may need a very fine drill bit. Either way though, you could always refill the holes with a little putty if you didn't like the look of it :)
@@TallManMinis that would be ideal to be honest the main thing holding me back is that I don't know enough about airbrushes yet but slowly reading up on them
Oh man, these are absolutely gorgeous… so much better than the GW style. I need to get an airbrush lol. Also, which Custodes box did you use to get the legs? Great video, brother. By the blood we are made strong!
Thanks! I actually just bought the legs from eBay. Custodes Guardian legs, in fact I think the listing is still up, its a UK seller, but will give you an idea of what I bought - www.ebay.co.uk/itm/224643675413
How did you convert the Sang Guard? I bought some Custodian Warden leg bits from EBay to use, but there are flat spots on the fronts that get covered by their skirts which I can’t use, is the only way to deal with this sculpting with green stuff to fix it? I would really appreciate some insight on this and a video on how you do it would be amazing, I love the look of these so much that I just can’t paint my Sang Guard until I can do this, the legs look so much better than the first born legs. Thanks man! Cheers
No problem! All I did was shave off the dome on top of the Custodes legs and flatten off the big belt at the front. No green stuff used at all! Drop me an email (It's on my channel page) and I will send some detailed pics to you so you can see what I mean.
@@fabricatorgeneralcaz534did you ever do the conversion? I'm having a little bit of a time trying to do it. May give up and cross my fingers for new sg kits later this despite the fact that custom models are awesome in principle. Thanks
ok.. my newly purchased box of sanguinary guids is now ruined ... can't paint them as stompy originals now that I've seen this :D..... already wasn't keen on tiny deathguard so I used the kit bits on primaris intercessors left overs from indomitus. this one may take me a while to do tho but definitly worth it. thanks !
@@jesseprado5563 I used both actually. The snips were just to snip the very top of the rounded dome off and flatten it out. Otherwise its too slippy, even for a scalpel / hobby blade and I nearly sliced my thumb open on the first model! Once i made a dent in that, I used a scalpel to slice it away very thinly and slowly. Best advice I can give is to take it slow, take small amounts off, like thin slices of bread lol and keep it even and flat. My first model i trimmed down quite far but on later models, I left enough around the waist to double as a belt. About the same thickness as normal space marines.. I felt it helped the proportions better! Good luck and send me a pic when you are done!
You should take some clips and put them on tiktok. Tiktok is abnormally devoid of warhammer painting at the moment. I think there's a real opportunity for a lot of growth there
Did you find this guide useful, or do you plan to try it on your own Sanguinary Guard? Let me know in the comments below!

I do have some Death Company ready to paint, I just want to finish the test model so I have the recipe correct :)

Would it look weird if I drilled into the piping on the power pack always thought they were exhaust pipes

Found old art work showing them flying and smoke is coming from the piping (old blood angels codex)
@@codemaster6521 Nice! I love old 40K art. Especially the RT and 3rd Edition days
with how awful the new guard are i'm definitely doing this
Big fan of these videos definitely makes me consider an air brush and using varnishes more in the painting process! Great videos!
Thank you! I may do a video showing the equipment I use soon. Maybe give some ideas on where to start and what to buy.

Dang it I just got done using a sanguinary guard squad guess I’ll need to get another box
Love these

Sorry!😂 Glad you like the paint scheme though! Let me know how they all turn out, I'd love to see them!
I’m thinking about converting sanguinary guard into some primaris but I wanna know did you use custodian guard legs or warden legs?
I used the guard legs. They were the easiest to fit together. If I had the skills the warden legs could have looked very cool though.
@@TallManMinis oh ok thank you very much I also wanted to know if you use some nippers to cut the dome of custodian guard legs or a hobby knife?

New Sub on YT & Instagram, thank you very for this video its excellent.
But how tall?
Me or the minis? ;)
@@TallManMinis Well, the channels not called Man with tall minis after all!
@@clinch4402 but now you mention it, that would make a great channel idea!
Brian, I couldn’t find your email on the community tab or anywhere.
If you go to my channel page, then the 'About' tab, its at the bottom under Business Details :)
Nice Gold 👌👌🇩🇰
Thank you!

I have taken your advice and set that up today! Same account name on there!
Love it, but a bit too much dark for me, I like them gold af
haha! Yeah I do like it most of the time, but when I do it gold models I am never happy with them.
