absolutly love Fulgrim. He looks almost exactly like i imagined him in the HH books.

**shingouki**

They all look class with Fulgrim being my personal fave and the twins a close second.

**Armorum Ferrum**

It's space puppy time

here come Russ -The Wolf King

Enjoy

**templeorks**

Russ looks epic I like the dead TS on his base as well as the green stuff on the cape. He's very ornate And has tons of wolf bobles.

Automatically Appended Next Post:
Also is that a Fantasy sword that he has.

**biohazardcake**

His face is weird loking but otherwise great good work!

**Vulpes89**

Wow, i really like all these. how did you make them? and wheres the Lion!? :O

**dantay_xv**

Russ looks amazing, but the face is not right

**Armorum Ferrum**

10x guys, I know he looks like Gary Busey on a bad day haha, but it aint my sculpt I just did the painting and a weapon swap

**brother noobicus**

Firstly, malta looks awesome. I want to go to there! Secondly, holy frak dude! Those models are amazing!! If you ever decide they need a nice home I would be happy to take care of them for you!!!

**Armorum Ferrum**

Dear friends time again for an update and well I must say I'm happy for the progress made as the Primarchs Project is soon to be completed

I present to you Lion El'Jonson also known as The Lion - Primarch of the 1st Legion Space Marines - The Dark Angels

Again sorry for the pic quality - had to do with my phone - On the menu next is someone that started the whole heresy

Enjoy !!!

**Lextheimpaler**

He they all look really amazing love alpharius and omega. Not a huge fan of corax not a very fluffy model as he was supposed to have talons/claws and i think guilliman is too plain for a primarch with a ego as well known as his. But overall brilliant painting and work. Look forward to more.

**Perkustin**

Gulliman looks the best. Actually most accuarate to how the Primarchs should have looked.

**shingouki**

Not too keen on Russ.Maybe its the face im not sure but the lion looks class especially the cloak.

**Movac**

Awesome updates, definitely takes a lot of talent and dedication to make the progress you have on this project.

**Mikalichou**

They look awesome

you should definitely do international play&drinks meetings at your place, I would so sign up

**Alpharius**

Corax used a variety of weapons, and the latest background does indeed have him using a heavy bolter, a 'power whip' and a power shocking similar to that of The Shadow!

I'm not sure where you're getting Guilliman = Huge Ego from either.

And, even though the Dark Angles aren't one of my favorites, your version of the Lion is spectacular!

Where does that plasma pistol come from?

**Armorum Ferrum**

Thanks for the comments guys - to answer a few questions to get the idea for some of the equipment used by the primarchs I use sources like The Collected Visions and The Horus Heresy novel series - If any of you guys wanna get a pretty good idea of why Corax looks the way he does listen to Raven's Flight - not only is it an amazing audiobook but it also sheds some light on the Raven Guard Primarch. Another point I cant stress enough is that these guys have access to virtually any weapon they wanna use - they are the fountainheads of the legiones astartes so no one is gonna say to Rouboute Guilliman "Lord you cannot use a power fist since it doesn't look cool enough" Talking about Guilliman - I wanted to depict him wearing an Iron Armour helmet simply because I love it. If you look closer you might notice that a copy of Imperium Secundus or the Codex Astartes is bound to his thigh armour and the scribe is there to take points on his Office 40K pad

Not all primarchs have to be ostentatious we already have Fulgrim and Sanguinius for that

This collection has up to now cost me an eye in the head but I'm quite proud of it even though some sculpts arent the best ever - (I dislike the face of Russ also) I hope I can finish off the collection by the end of Summer(work permitting) and also my Pre Heresy Blood Angels Army which is growing into a company and a half size at the minute - I use these primarchs as a break from painting red mainly

- that rules out pre heresy Thousand Sons for me then

Alpharius the plasma pistol of the Lion is from

Thanks guys and if you have further questions or need some clarifications please contact me !

**JamesMclaren123**

The Lion looks EPIC!!!!

**AvatarForm**

**Armorum Ferrum**

No Avatarform - only Sanguinius and Fulgrim are Kabuki Models

Where are the remainder from?

**Armorum Ferrum**

The others are from ebay or scratchbuilt !

**Sarius**

The more I look at Russ, the more I think his face looks sort of like Ron Pearlman. Anyway, great models all around, anychance of another group shot soon?

Thanks!

The more I look at them the more I can ID individual parts from various bits sites.

I agree mate, I guess he must have Ron Perlman/Gary Busey DNA

There was also another company called "Ronin Miniatures" that did these. That's is where a lot of the eBay sourced ones would have come from.

**Armorum Ferrum**

Yep - IIRC Ronin became Kabuki miniatures - My Sanguinius is Ronin and Fulgrim is Kabuki.

**templeorks**

The Lion looks great thats actually what I seen in my head when I read the books so good job.
