As of right now, I have my SG equipped with three Sword Encarmine, one Axe Encarmine, and a Power Fist. All of them come with Angelus Bolters since the pistols aren't worth it, IMO.

Is there a better way to equip them? I always will be running mine with Dante and a Jump Pack Sanguinary Priest.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/675088/8353215.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/675088/8353215.page GMT Re:Equipping Sanguinary Guard MC or something before charging in... melta pistol is never worth it as the range sucks and they aren't meant to be anti-tank.

My only critique would be adding another couple of bodies to the unit... a unit of 5 is ok but as soon as some of them die their effectiveness goes down significantly. I also usually run a Chapter Banner on one of them as the extra attack is really good on these guys (and the more guys you have in the unit, the better value it becomes)]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/675088/8353552.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/675088/8353552.page GMT Equipping Sanguinary Guard MSU and all that. The priest doesn't help them enough and Dante should be a squad that needs the CC punch. Actually, a unit of ten with the banner and priest wouldn't be the worst thing ever. But I wouldn't give five a priest. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/675088/8353588.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/675088/8353588.page GMT Equipping Sanguinary Guard
1 power fist
4 glave encarmaines
5 Death masks

That work for ya?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/675088/8353589.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/675088/8353589.page GMT Equipping Sanguinary Guard SG don't need Dante, and Dante doesn't gain much from an SG squad. They can usually fight their way through without Dante's hit and run.
Give 7-8 guard a naked priest with a jump pack and at least 1 fist to make them survivable and threatening, and give Dante naked assault marines or DC to be his meatshields. This gives you multiple threats instead of a single one for them to focus fire on. Also it gives you two units instead of one that can get stuff done, like maelstrom etc.

Always remember, super fighty IC's want meatshield grunts, and super fighty units want support IC's. Throwing a super fighty IC in a super fighty squad is usually overkill and also becomes too much concentration in one unit.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/675088/8353606.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/675088/8353606.page GMT Equipping Sanguinary Guard FNP power armor units.

I have been considering it. I have so many Sternguard with Crimson Fists, that I don't know if I want more. A full squad of Sternguard with all Combi Weapons would be fun though. I like Vanguards, they would be fun to run as well.

I will keep my VV the way they are then.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/675088/8354036.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/675088/8354036.page GMT Equipping Sanguinary Guard

A positive post from Martel? About BA? I'd ask who you are and what you've done with Martel732, but I like this one better.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/675088/8354137.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/675088/8354137.page GMT Equipping Sanguinary Guard BA gladius, but against Necrons it's actually quite good. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/675088/8354718.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/675088/8354718.page GMT Equipping Sanguinary Guard http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/675088/8354838.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/675088/8354838.page GMT Equipping Sanguinary Guard tac squads in rhinos, and some grav bikers at 1850. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/675088/8355246.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/675088/8355246.page GMT
