Honestly, the list looks fine to me. You’ve got the anti-tank covered, you’ve got a decent anchor force to hold you until T2, and your deepstrike will be an absolute bomb.
That being said, did you give inferno pistols to all ten sanguinary guard? If so, that’s a large investment for minimal expected return. You might vaporize a few enemy marines on Overwatch…or they’ll charge you from 6.1” away and negate your shooting. You could obliterate a vehicle if you’re within 3” of it…but if it explodes, you’re very clumped up.
You also don’t need a power sword on the champion. He comes stock with a Paragon Blade, which is superior to the sword in every possible way
Yeah, for harder play dump at least some inferno pistols. For funsies feel free to keep them.
L/C in the inferno pistols, what do you reccomend for a substitution?
Frankly, the SG don’t really “need” guns to be effective at their job, which is getting into melee and slapping the shit out of everyone else.
But if you really want cool guns on the squad, Volkite is the cheap option that gives decent anti-infantry, while plasma is more expensive but can flex into handling 2+ saves and potentially even dreadnoughts (if fielded en masse)
Awesome, thanks!
Semi related, there is no official 30k SG kit, what do y'all run for them model wise? Do you kitbash them using the assault marine kit?
The 40k kit is, frankly, entirely acceptable. Some might complain about it being MK 7 or something, but it’s a 0-1 unit fluffed as the legion’s most superlative warriors granted the highest honor of safeguarding Sanguinius himself. Obviously they’re getting top of the line artificer armor
You could also kitbash assault marines or Dawnbreakers
It looks a good balanced list. If the sanguinary guard all have axes of perdition you might want to consider someone with rad grenades in the unit (zephon or a moritat)
You can also add a bunch of blood angels bits to the command squad. Thats what cult of paint did and it looks awesome https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=6hU-RWHXUMo&ab_channel=CultofPaint

The new 40k kit is inda meh in my opinion. I say get whatever armour you like and slap wings on them
The old sanguinary guard torsos, jump packs and pads mixed with assault marine legs and arms works quite well (wings to taste)
