I hate being pigeon-holed into doing anything. It goes against my very stubborn nature. So, I hate the fact that I can't find any good looking alternative paint schemes for my Sanguinary Guard. Thus, far I have thought about doing an Angels Sanguine army due to the fact that I like the half and half look or a Lamenters army due to the coolness that is a yellow army.
Unfortunately, this gets me nowhere. I have thought about the following: Should I do an Angels Sanguine army, I could make my SG the half and half black/red and then make some nice wings to make them stand out. This also ties in with just about all of the models I have already painted.
Second, I have thought about creating silver SG instead of gold. Silver just looks less gaudy and can be offset with white helmets or even yellow if I choose to do Lamenters.
All this to say, I may just bite the bullet and paint them gold, but it would be a very muted, dirty bronze color instead.
I have gone ahead and put together a test model for the army. I am currently trying to work out which scheme would look good. We will just have to see. Does anyone have additional input?
