Hi guys,

Today I present to you my latest work....

Sanguinius himself.
This is for sure my most expensive single miniature, and the one with the most difficult conversion work.

I'll have to touch up his wings, but in general I'm happy how he turned out.

Hope you like him.

Amazing.

Very cool! The nightbringer for the robes, Lord of change wings, can't place the main body though!?

Awesome representation of Sanguinius, but if I may remark; I'd personally have expected his body to be a bit bulkier, and the wings look like bare metal (unfair criticism that, as I wouldn't know how I'd get those wings any better than that while making them look white/greyish)

Keep up the good work!

You have been right concerning the parts.

The body is sculpted.
; )

Good god its insane! How the gak does he stay upright XD

Nice job love the robes

Respect....simply Beautiful!

I applaud your conversion work and painting but this just looks strange to me. I mean absolutely no offense and if you like him then more power to you, but to me his proportions are a little odd and I think his head looks very strange. Also, where is his left leg?

I've seen people do Nightbringer --> Sanguinius conversions frequently, and I've never been a fan because, to me, it always ends up looking like just a Nightbringer with stuff added onto it. I personally feel this model still hasn't broken that mold. I will say, though, yours is one of the better iterations of this conversion I've seen. The main thing I would have done would have been to lop off the hood altogether. I've never pictured Sanguinius, the Primarch that was famed for his regal beauty, covering up his flowing golden hair with a hood.

Not trying to rain on your parade, just thought you might like some constructive criticism mixed in with your praise.

I, too, am curious about the legs...

People who can't handle critiscism shouldn't post things here. I can handle it.
So that's fine for me. ^^

All you guys who are mentioning his legs obviously haven't ever seen the nigtbringer model in person.
It HAS legs. ^^
And they are perfectly in proportion.

Have a look:




Concerning his hood and the style in general.
This is the grim darkness of the far future. That's what my army as a whole represents, and that is how I imagine the primarch.

My inspiration was this picture:


Thank you guys for all your input!

im loving that inspirational picture... where is that from?

Love this, I love Primarch conversions, especially great ones like this.

Keep up the good work!
