Yep it's going to happen in 2 weeks.

Which means it's time to get some models in order.

I originally did a Horus and Emperor using Reaper models but have decided I'm just not happy with them. Plus the new plastic chaos termis and cheap Black reach termis offer new options in conversion.

So...

Part of the scenario includes special rooms on Horus' ship. Here are some of the objectives I've come up with for them.

They're pretty simple as you can tell. Just wooden blocks from a craft shop, and bits from various vehicles and city terrain. The control panels themselves are from rhino interiors.

Next up... finishing Horus and the Emp and coming up with a throne for Horus.

Ooh, I really like the third Horus. I can't wait to see how the Emperor turns out.

Made some progress!

They all need more detail work, and washes, and there are some bitz on order to further pimp out the Emperor but here's where things stand.

london, uk (my computer says otherwise)

looking good, my only critisism would be the shoulder guards on the emperor, they seem too plain and thin

Not bad at all, the emperors power fist is a fist and not the emperors talon that he normally wears but thats not a huge issue.

Do you remember that time that thing happened?
This is a bad thread and you should all feel bad

After the first game I was trading bits and noticed the Dark Angel Dread leg armor are just the right size for pre-heresy terminator shoulder pads. So one quick snip and...
