The Angels of Death, Elevated
Few sights on a Warhammer 40,000 battlefield command attention like the Sanguinary Guard descending from the skies. Clad in ornate golden Terminator-adjacent armour and bearing enormous feathered wings, these are the Blood Angels at their most magnificent — warrior-angels drawn straight from the faction's rich mythology of beauty, sacrifice, and controlled fury. A finished unit of Sanguinary Guard doesn't just perform on the table; it becomes the centrepiece of an army.
What's in the Box
This kit contains five Sanguinary Guard multi-part plastic miniatures, each built around the iconic winged, golden-armoured aesthetic that defines the Blood Angels' elite. The models carry Angelus boltguns and Glaives Encarmine — the power axes and swords that mark their station — and the kit includes options to build a chapter champion with a unique pose and weapon loadout. Multiple head options, weapon variants, and detailed accessories across the sprues give hobbyists genuine flexibility to customise each warrior individually, making it straightforward to ensure no two models in the squad look identical. Assembly requires plastic glue and the usual hobby tools. Round bases are included.
Who Should Pick This Up
Sanguinary Guard are a compelling purchase on two separate grounds. For Blood Angels players, they are a high-impact elite unit and a visual anchor for any collection — the kind of models you paint carefully and display prominently. For painters drawn to the hobby as a craft in its own right, this kit is outstanding: the intricacy of the armour trim, the layered wing feathers, and the ornate detailing reward time and effort with spectacular results. Experienced hobbyists will find genuine depth here. Newer painters building their first Blood Angels force should expect a moderate assembly and painting challenge — not a beginner kit, but absolutely achievable with patience. The Sanguinary Guard also make a striking gift for any Blood Angels collector who doesn't already own them.
