Hello All!

This will be my first Dakka P&M blog, based around my Luna Wolves army, Horus has easily been a favorite character of mine since I got into the game a few years ago and started reading the fluff, I decided to go with the timeline of right around 63-19, when Loken had just been inducted into the Mournival and they were all good friends still.

I made a significant sized order from Forgeworld and have recently finished assembly on a good majority of them. Just waiting on a few bits in order to finish. However I will post the pictures I have so far with many many more to come. Sorry about any low quality stuff, they're from my phone as I am working on a full "studio" setup for taking high quality pictures.

This will be a constantly expanding project and the main focus of my Warhammer efforts from now on, I absolutely love the fluff behind them and have made a commitment to stick with it. I will be building Garviel Loken's 10th company, along with detachments from 1st Company (Justaerin and Catulan Reavers)
Painted pictures to come.

This is 40/40 troops that I currently have, all assembled and ready for primer.


Falkus "Widowmaker" Kibre and The Justaerin -- I chose to go with Falkus leading these guys because Abaddon will probably included later (once FW releases the model). I also love the comment that Torgaddon joked with Abaddon that he let Kibre lead the Justaerin because he was too big to fit into a suit of terminator armor.


No one specific here, just a little fun posing and the use of a head from the MKIV command sprue.

Are there any pictures that I can't see? Anyway, nice to see a Luna Wolves plog.

Though there is a section for P&M blogs where I suppose this should be.

Sorry, I made the original post before realizing that I didn't have the links for my dakka gallery. Pictures added! --- GRRRR! Sorry I thought I put this in the blog spot... if a mod could please move it that would be great!

This is awesome, I have a Justaerian force myself

The first of 15 Justaerin that are in my 2000pt list for 6th games.

Did you purchase the Legion bundles for Christmas? Looks awe-inspiring!

I actually ordered before the legion bundles were released, and probably would have ordered separately anyway. I have 20 Legion and 20 normal MKIV marines, along with assorted bolters, that way they are not all the exact same.

Pretty damn sick!

Justaerin with Chain Axe and Combi Melta.

Awesome. I like the way this army is turning out.

Very nice!!! So much forgeworld lol.

Thanks for all the positive comments guys! more to come once I am back from my travels.

Haha Johnno, yeah this is going to be a full FW army, gonna cost me a pretty penny in the end, but it will be worth it, I love these models.

loving it so far....
But want to see MOAR troops. I have to get my butt into gear and finishing painting some of my Luna Wolves

Troops to come when my Justaerin are done

This is just beautiful, excellet work

I don't think it's possible for me to get tired of painting these guys, by far my favorite model ever produced. I thought I loved Indomitus Termies hahaha.

I may be wrong, but I thought in the books at the time you are mentioning that the Luna Wolves had greyish/white armor with green trim. Then when renamed to the Sons of Horus they switched to their green armor.

It was only after they fully turned to chaos and fled into the eye of terror that they switched to black armor and started calling themselves the Black Legion.

Did the termies always have black armor and I just missed that part? In any case they are nicely painted and the models look fantastic. Good stuff!

Yes, actually anyone from 1st company has Black and Gold, even Kalus Ekkadon's Catulan Reaver Assault Troops are portrayed in black and gold because they are 1st company, and The Justaerin (Abbadon/Falkus Kibre's Terminator Squad) are Black and Gold.

My Normal troops will have white armor with black trim, along with my Dreadnought.

Also, they changed to black and gold after turning to Chaos to signify their failure in letting The Warmaster die, and became The Black Legion.

Took a break from Justaerin in order to finish my Contemptor, I have Luna Wolves decals, just haven't added them yet, will added them for the round of nice pictures to come at a later date. I filed down the Aquila on his chest and replaced it with an "Eye of Horus", and added the XVI on the lower left side of his chest, I liked it a lot on the Forgeworld DG Dread so I just made it.

I Love your stuff and I'm working on my own Luna wolves squad so this gives me some good ideas and tips. I'm going to attempt to freehand all the half moon wolf head shoulders and see how t goes. Although I was also debating making it out of green stuff.

I found a Luna Wolves decal sheet that someone made, and had a buddy of mine print them on some real thin vinyl, gonna see how that works out. Thanks for the compliments!

I come bearing more finished models!

I added the Luna Wolves graphics to the Dreadnought -- Left shoulder is Chapter and Left leg displays that he is a Veteran of the War for Luna.



Up next is Falkus "The Widowmaker" Kibre, Captain of The Justaerin. I wanted to build him because he is played out to be almost as important as Abaddon in terms of The Justaerin, and I will have an Abaddon model.




And lastly for now, Landraider Redeemer of the Legio XVI.




Hope you enjoy!

A redeemer?!? While the paint job is awesome, this tank did not exist when the heresy took place!

These mini's are being given the paint job they deserve.The metals and plasma are top notch imo.

Yeah, I just had the kit sitting around, I will also be building a MKII-B at some point in the near future. The Redeemer is going to be for my 6th edition list where they play as Space Wolves.

Thanks Shin! Always nice to hear!

Really nice work. I especially like how the Redeemer came out!
I've been considering painting up my SM or SW as Luna Wolves (or at the very least something similar in colour scheme) as well so I'm looking forward to following your progress!

Hey mate, just a heads-up, the Justaerin also had mixes of red on their shoulder pad insets. Maybe splash them up with a bit of red too? Just as a little hint as well, the Justaerin was just the name given over to the Terminators of the 1st, the 1st being led by First-Captain Abaddon. I would think of Kibre being a lieutenant of Abaddon in charge of the Justaerin. Any chance on you doing some Catulan Reavers? Also, you see those new Justaerin termies on FW? They may be of use to you.

I'm so jealous of this army. I wish i had the funds to make an entire pre-heresy army with forgeworld models. I will definitely be following this and keep envying you... Cheers

Haha thanks Question.

Hey Crimson! Thanks, I couldn't remember if they had the red, Falkus is actually listed as Captain of the Justaerin, and Abby is 1st Captain as far as I have seen, there is even a passage about it, they say Torgaddon teased Abby that he let Kibre lead The Justaerin because he (ab) is too big for a suit of TDA. Yes I do have plans for Kalus' Catulans! As well as Abaddon and Loken when they are released, and of course Horus, this is going to become my main army.

Some more for the day. I fixed the Justaerin that I have complete so that they display the red shoulder.

Also finished another one, this time with a Chain Fist.




And a group shot of the 6 that are complete so far. This time with the proper red shoulder.

Well, After some deep thought, I am actually going to be changing over to Sons of Horus, with all the stuff that is coming out for them branded as Sons it just makes sense, luckily I have another Phobos Pattern Landraider that can be painted up and be timeline correct. I also haven't painted any of my troops so that makes things a little easier considering The Justaerin didn't change.

Here is a test piece for my SoH colors, I really like how it turned out, it's not the Forgeworld and not the Index Astartes (which looks like an Andes mint), but I think i'm going to test with a different mix, more towards the sea green.

Your Justaerin has turned out lovely mate. Can't wait to see more!

Here is the repaint of my dread in my Sons of Horus color. Hope you enjoy!

I like the lighter shade you went for on the SoH

Thanks I thought it was a bit closer to their Index Astartes, not a giant fan of the Forgeworld Style, it's ok but not my preference!

Here are the last 2 Terminators for my 10 man shoot squad.





I threw in Captain America's shield because I had a brass icon that looked exactly like it and I am a huge comic geek.



And a group shot of the 10man shoot squad with Falkus Kibre, and the contemptor in the background. Sorry on the flash, poor lighting near my display case.

A couple more done, 2/5 for my assault squad.

Moar Lightning Claws, I promise there is only one of these left and then troops and other such.

Love the color on the Contemptor. The Terminators look great.

Mat

2 emotions are stirred for me. Firstly some minor confusion at seeing my beloved colours adorning Loyalist filth.

And secondly rampant ENVY that you paint these gorgeous models so well and have the discipline to see the project through! Well done!

hahahaha, well thanks! I love the fluff behind them and Horus, more to come that won't be black and gold


Also thanks all for compliments on the color, it took a little bit of time to get it mixed properly, but now I have a consistent formula and a pre-mixed batch! should make things go smoothly.

Just wow, so much FW. Looking forward to seing it all painted. Nice to see a Luna Wolves/Sons of Horus in their original colours, don't see them often

Young Logan

Love the Sons of horus, you seem to have gotten them down prertty good.

Really like your paint scheme, could you go into detail of what you used would really like to get the same look.

I actually followed an older tutorial but I can't seem to find it off hand, I know it was from Warseer.

the "green" color is close to 50/50 of Vallejo Panzer USMC Tank Crew (green), and GW Astronomican Grey (old color, not sure on the new name).

I kind of added a little more green, little more grey etc until I felt I had the right one, so it's probably not exactly 50/50.

What about the terminators? looks like chaos black and burneshed gold if I'm correct?

Chaos Black (Abaddon Black), Shining Gold (not sure on the new one), shoulder is Evil Sunz Scarlet, and leathers are Calthan Brown.

Finally finished with Terminators! Cataphractii Ahoy! (I do plan to have at least 1 squad of the actual Justaerin models as well, more than likely Horus' Honor Guard.

40 troops base coated, have 5 heavy support to base coat tomorrow and then it's on to detail. Will also have 3 Scimitar Jet bikes and 10 Catulan Reavers on Tuesday. The Legio Grows.

This is awesome, can't wait for FW to release a Horus

Same here! I am also quite eagerly awaiting Abaddon and Loken! Thanks Squig!

Here are the first 2 of my Heavy Support squad w/ Missile Launchers.


First up is the Sergeant, I decided to denote all my Sergeants with gold shoulder trim.





Here is the 1st of 4 w/ Missile Launcher.



I noticed in that picture he needed a little touch up around his eye, that has been taken care of.

Well, Here we go with some more updates guys! I am going to be working on this army full force until it's done, putting other projects on hold.

Here are my 4 Devastators w/ Missile Launchers, Sarge was posted earlier.








This is a random sarge/commander for my guys, he will be playing as a normal troop for now until i pick up some more. I swear he is the same color as the others, the light was being a little weird because of the bottle I think.





And lastly some Sky Hunters that will be coming up in the paint list, riders are all removable right now so that I can paint the controls and what not without them in the way. 2 Multi Meltas and a Volkite Culvarin.

Nice work, I think those forgeworld jetbikes are wicked. They should look great in your colour scheme.

Still looking good also the Volkite Culvarin, what sort of weapon is it? I know you can't post rules but can you just hint at what it actaully is those that don't own the heresy book?

Young Logan

Culvarin is anti troop weapon, all the volkite is anti troop.

Here's the next batch, managed to get 3 troops done today while working from home because of below zero weather.





Next up is a Standard Bearer.





and finally, just for fun had to use the Vox backpack and head from the MKIV Command Sprue.






10% of my troops are done



Hope you enjoy!

Thanks

Also the finished command elements look great, especially a fan of the gold on the standard, almost looks like its glowing from the image you've posted. Best of luck with getting the next 90% painted, looking forward to seeing them all done

Young Logan

Well, I have finished a few special weapons over the last couple days, and here they are.

Here are a few more pics, I went back and added some transfers to the dreadnought, as well as dirtied him up a bit to match the rest of the army.





And a group shot of all the troops I have done so far, 26 left.



I also have a Spartan Assault Tank, 5 Justaerin, Storm Eagle, and Warhound Titan on the way for this army.

Gosh, the glowing lights on those special weapons looks incredible. I like the colour you've used for the Sons of Horus, too.

Thanks Lenny, I tried to go as close to the Index Astartes color as possible while still being able to duplicate and not just run out of paint some day. Thank you also for the nice comments about my special weapons, I think they turned out just the way I wanted them too, not too over the top.

to be frank: these are exelent! honestly brilliant, the best sons of horus ive ever seen!

my long answer is this: WOW, your paint scheme is amazing and you put all the right colours in the right places! the glow on the plasma is amzing! not too much, not too little! your sergeant guy poiting is really good, and its a brilliant model to use, im thinking of adding a cape to mine and having him wield a power sword in his bolter hand to make him look better and have a cool kind of bracing for the enemy yet ordering his troops kind of pose, for your tanks, you could either weather it a lot using sponges (look up templarcrusade01's world eater fellblade for a quick way of making a dirty tank) or keep it clean, your choice.
im guessing your excited about getting loken and abbadon, who will lead your army?
brilliant, just amazing, subscribed!


Automatically Appended Next Post:
also, do you know a GW only way of doing a similar paint scheme?

Thanks Apostle! that's great to hear and I am overwhelmed with all the compliments. My tanks are going to be fairly dirt, something along the lines to match the troops but I am debating on putting some weathering along the bottoms to match the gray tone to the bases on my troops etc.

I already have Loken and Abaddon on order haha, Loken will be the main leader of my force no doubt. Abaddon is going to ride around in a Spartan with 5 Justaerin (actual "Justaerin" models) honor guard w/ Mutli Melta and power axes, as well as 5 normal cataphractii Justaerin w/ Dual Lightning Claws. In 6th I play them as Space Wolves and Loken will be my Wolf Lord, Abaddon will be played as a Lone Wolf in those lists.

I also recently received a fairly sizeable order that will be coming up in the painting rotations once my troops are squared away. Including a Spartan assault tank, Stormeagle, and Warhound Titan, along with the 5 actual Justaerin models as well as Loken and Abby. Ontop of all that I also have the 3 skyhunters, and 10 Catulan Reavers, which I used a Command Squad head on and will be modelling Kalus Ekkadon.

Sadly I tried a lot of different ways to replicate the color using GW paint and just couldn't find one that looked the same, I wanted as close to the Index Astartes color as I could get, and this seems to be it for me. Sorry!

Can I ask what your going to be using for the reavers? As far as o know they haven't made models for them.

MKIV assault troops, and just using the 1st company transfers from the SoH transfer sheet, i'm not honestly sure that they will make the catulans, which is why i went this path.

cool, im excited to see them!

Another update, this time a Drop Pod and a Spartan Assault Tank!

First up is the Drop Pod, the logos are placed on all the doors just like this one.


I wanted to do a fun interior, and this is what I came up with.



Next up is the Spartan Assault Tank, this kit, while a complete PITA, is such a fun build and so very cool to see done in the end. I believe I did the paintwork justice.







The Aquila was left on, it was only "Taboo" for troops to display it on their armor, otherwise it was a symbol of the alliance between the Emperor and the Mechanicum, so it can be rightfully left on vehicles.

Brilliant, the drop pod paint job and interior is amazing!

Thanks again Apostle, I didn't take a picture of it but I did some drybrushing on the bottom of the pod with boltgun so it looks like it has been through a few entries. It was a lot of fun to paint, but not so much fun to assemble!

That is a great looking army I saw your spartan on the FW fb page the other day

Have you considered some weathering powders or some chipping etc. ?? Would look great

I have been debating on a lighter grey weathering powder around the bottoms of their legs to mimic walking through crushed concrete, most of their basing is done with the idea that they are walking through a city they destroyed

I like the greens and the blacks are rich, which looks great. I think the plasma glow is really good too. The only thing that is a little off to me is the basework, which seems a little drab. I think if you hit the bases with a very dry drybrush of bone, it would really bring them to life and round out the models as a whole.

Thanks Oldschool, I am definitely looking into something that will make the bases stand out and help the models overall, I just haven't figured out quite what to do yet, I will definitely look at brushing them with some bleached bone or something of the sort.

I'm excited for abbadon and loken, whatll be next on your agenda to show us?

Haha yeah so am I, mine are on order and hoping they ship on the 1st like FW says they will

Here is a quick update, got two more models done tonight, another Troop and since it was asked how I planned on doing the Catulan Reavers, I did my "Sergeant" which in my eyes is Kalus Ekkadon (He would be Captain of the Catulan Reavers, but will be my sarge model)

I have to say that these look spectacular.

Awesome thread! Exalted and subbed!

Thanks for the comments guys! Abaddon and Loken shipped yesterday according to Forgeworld, so I will be looking forward to seeing them next week and getting started.

Really nice!
Looking forward to see Abaddon with the Justaerin

Hi,
I'm loving ur work so far mate!

Subbed.

HAZZER.

Sweet Jesus must that have cost ur kidneys. But worth it.
Love ur models, love the colours, love the army. Keep it up.

you have some amazing work here man. I was thinking about doing Sons of Horus colors for my CSM army but now I may shy away because of this awesomeness lol

Hahah, thanks again everyone, there is more to come, I am slowly but surely getting work done on the troops and I have a lot more models to paint, but I am dedicated to finishing this before any of my other armies get finished.

Small Update! I finished another troop, and finished one of Abaddon's Honor Guard Justaerin.

First up is the "Mag Change" Marine.





And The Justaerin, With Multi Melta and Power Axe!

Wowza! There amazing! The justaerin is perfectly painted! Brilliant.

Very good!!!

I've gotten a few more troops done since the last update but I dont feel the necessity to show every last one, but I did decide to take a little bit of deviation today and painted my first Skyhunter.

Well, Here it is... at long last, my take on Loken, he is one of my favorite characters in the entirety of the Warhammer universe. I hope I did him justice.

Wow this blog is awesome, very inspiring great work! Love the Loken model!

Stunning, one your best models yet, you've not only done him justice you've perfected him.

Hahah thanks guys! glad to hear positive reviews on Loken, it makes building this army all worth it in the end to know that other people can be happy with looking at my models and knowing that I have done justice to an army that there is so much history with.

Brokksamson you have done some really fantastic work here and inspired me to keep plodding along with my own sons of horus project.Thanks for posting.

Well, Despite some casting issues, My impatience pushed me towards finding a solution for Abaddon without waiting for parts. He comes with 2 weapon options and 2 arm options (for each weapon), so I found that I actually liked how the sword looked on the "Bolter" Armor, so I went with it and here he is!

Looking so good it's always nice to come back to this blog. Is the spartan worth getting from a modelling and painting way?

I love the use of transfers on models, they look so good when done well

Young Logan

Thanks again for the compliments YL, I have a Warhound Titan of the Legio Mortis, and a Storm Eagle coming down the pipeline once my compressor shows up for the airbrush!

The Spartan is a great model no doubt, kind of a PITA if you are not used to dealing with Resin on that scale (which I was not), it requires a lot of filing and fitting before assembly which can get daunting, but the finished product is most certainly worth it. It is just a bit bigger than a Landraider (not overly, but it's pretty noticeable side by side). So if you dislike painting Landraiders, I would avoid it!

Thanks, havent painted a land raider in a while and now with a 1500pt wolf army i sort of want a cerntre piece model for the ar,y, and i have a painted job in mind. Thanks for the advice and i'll take it into consideration

Young Logan

Very nice! That loken modle is very nice!!!

 HAZZER wrote:

Thanks Haz, the model itself is definitely amazing, they went above and beyond my personal expectations for Loken, he is absolutely worth every penny that you pay to get the pair, Abaddon was an equally great model to build and paint, both just so well done.

another small update for you, here is my Storm Eagle all assembled and in primer. Cockpit door is off for now so I can paint the controls and the tech marine. before securing them. More to come on this once the compressor shows up!

Looking good man, i love the fluff of the army and happy to see someone dedicate the time...and Money to producing a decent army dedicated to such a strong part of the universe. I would suggest maybe thin your paints a smidge but that might just be the way the camera takes the photo..otherwise awesome job!

Great help for my starting SoH army, thanks a lot for inspiration!
I've decided that my Catulans will be destroyer squads with jump packs, but that's a minor change.

Thanks Cutthroat, It's definitely the camera on my phone, my paints are well thinned haha.

Thanks Pol, I thought about destroyers, but in the end chose to go with normal assault, not even sure why, just sat that way in my head. Good luck, I love my Sons.

Updates! I got some more stuff done! Warhound assembled, just waiting on a compressor for my airbrush to start on it. Also finished the Storm Eagle and a few more troops, an end for the stuff I own is in sight, though I have a small order going in soon just to fill some gaps and add some variability.

Very nice paintjob!

Dare I ask what you do for work to have such a substantial hobby budget?

Also TH looks awesome!

hahahaha, I work in Technical Support for an RFID company, it's honestly not all that lucrative, but outside of paying my mortgage and bills, I don't really spend my money on anything else!

That is the clincher though lol

Good Job Otherwise!

Haha thanks, definitely my favorite legion of all time and my favorite army that I have built to date, I have a fun project coming up with a lot of Tau, I needed a new 6th edition army and Tau were my very first army a couple years ago, so I have come full circle. I will post a P&M for them once I get them started! This army is almost done! AHHHH!

Just keep me posted.

Also where you located?

Located in Wisconsin. Just waiting on my airbrush compressor to get the Tau kicked off.

Nice!

Well, here we go guys! I decided to take some army shots after urging from my roommate, this army is almost complete. Left to do: 1 Scimitar Jetbike, 6 Assault Troops.

I have plans for more in the near future, like some MKIV Recon and a few other little things, and of course my Warhound. Still waiting on compressor :(

Well, as to not build it up anymore, please enjoy.

Everything is looking great so far! Look forward to seeing the Titan all painted up.

You know, I had pretty much talked myself out of the Pre-Heresy thing. Seeing your army is making me reconsider. I think its the first Ive seen that large and its truly impressive. Looking forward to more.

Looks great, its really coming along and becoming quite the force

Thanks all, for some reason it certainly does not look like it, but that is 3750pts....

I put that in the termies and the Thunderhawk

hahaha! but it's not a Thunderhawk! just a StormEagle! and yes the termies are 600+ for a 10 man squad because they are all billed as Justaerin and not just Legion Terminators.

Exactly, and thats a huge storm eagle.

hahah, you may be thinking of Storm Ravens, the Eagle is the "big brother" of the Storm Raven.

I see now

Awesomeness pretty jealous. Keep up the work.

Thanks Ghost, they are almost done for now, though there is definitely more planned, including a Horus miniature whenever I find one!

I finally found a Horus model, thanks to fellow Dakkanaut WingWong.

I am eagerly awaiting the Forgeworld Horus model, but I wanted a fill in until that actually happens and could not find one anywhere! until I was saved! From what I understand this is a very rare sculpt of Horus and I have only found 1 or 2 others on the google machine.

I do have to state a preference for Horus' "Pre Heresy" White armor, but this model was definitely a joy to paint, Apologies ahead of time for his face, the casting left a little to be desired but none the less so does my skill at painting faces!

Without further build up.

The Warmaster Horus Lupercal.

I like everything about Horus except his head, It seams small to me .

This army looks great! Keep up the amazing work.

His head is much too small, his arms look kinda out of place and the wrong size for the body, those two things are the first i see and kinda kills the rest of the model for me, i am just trying to give my honest opinion as that model does not do your army justice.

Pencil me in! Subscribed!! (will make more intelligent commentary some time when I'm not dead-on-my-feet)

Your awesome army is awesome! Definitely all that work paid off, and superbly well. Horus seems slightly lack luster.. it is the head.

yeah I agree on the Horus bit, I am waiting patiently for Forgeworld to release Horus. According to the Weekender he will be after Ferrus.

Thanks a lot for the comments, always nice to see!

Maybe you can use an abbadon base for horus?

it crossed my mind Panda, however I am not what you would call "Great at conversions" right now, not much of a sculptor etc. I am also a bigger fan of Horus in the white armor and Abby's stuff is just way too chaosy for that. So, I will wait for Forgeworld and use this guy in the mean time.

Well, at long last I decided to sit down and crank out the Warhound, here it is! Sorry about the picture quality. Some day soon I am going to round up the entire army for another quality photo shoot now that this is done.

Pretty darn nice paint job for "cranking it out".

Dang! nice warhound. I also noticed some Necrons up there.. and the tesseract.. cool.

Gits -- Haha, it took me about 20-22 hours from basecoat to finished product, so I kinda considered that "Cranking it out", Thanks for the compliment! Definitely means a lot having seen your stuff! We're gonna have to get together sometime soon, I am building a Badab War army, so I will have to get them next to some Mantis warriors so your paint can make it look like I hit mine with a roller and called it good

Panda -- Thanks a lot, and yea Crons are one of my in process armies, Vault looked insanely fun so I had to buy one, I almost regret it just because of how much of a pain it's going to be, the entire inside of the thing is crawling with scarabs etc. I tend to have more in process than I think I can handle but I have Army ADD

That sounds fantastic Brokk! (great avatar BTW) Based on your Warhound I'm sure your painting will look just fine next to mine!

I am surprised you went with those colors next to your Sons of Horus

 Cutthroatcure wrote:

Fluff-Wise it was the only thing that made sense, The Legio Mortis Titan Legion was dedicated to Horus by the Fabricator General of the Mechanicum after Horus was named Warmaster, it was a way for the Mechanicum to win the favor of Horus, so they carried several titans from Legio Mortis aboard The Vengeful Spirit, including the Dies Irae. This is the Pre Heresy scheme for Legio Mortis.

Yeah i remember, i was just surprised, but it makes sense.

Great work

Thanks again Cutthroat! Always nice to hear that my stuff is still looking good

Scroll down as i might have found your new projects

http://www.belloflostsouls.net/2013/07/gamesday-uk-new-40k-minis-unveiled-and.html

Hahaha, Indeed you have, My upcoming additions for the Sons include the following:

Sons Of Horus Contemptor
Sons Of Horus Reavers x10
MKIV Recon x10
Sons of Horus Command Squad
Legion Praetor in Terminator (Rassek "Proxy")
10x Cataphractii (Non Justaerin)
MKIV Apothecary
Conversion for Torgaddon and Little Horus
Legion Glaive

Obviously a few of these are waiting on release but once they do I will definitely own them, I have decided to make my Sons one gigantic legion rather than building another Legion.

Hey why be diverse when you can have one thing that is awesome?

Digging your Sons! they look great!!!

Thanks a lot Warsmith, more to come in the next few weeks as I expand the Legion with a few more new units from FW.

http://www.belloflostsouls.net/2013/08/horus-heresy-massacre-unveiled-video.html

The new stuff looks awesome painted

This blog is awesome ! nice work man

New stuff is on order, but it will be a while before I get to it, I just finished 1850 on my Crons and I have a "commission" to paint my brother's Pre Heresy Death Guard for his birthday present. So you will be seeing them soon, unfortunately no Sons being built or painted in the near future.

I do love me some Death Guard, make sure Garro is in there

Straight Arrow will be in there, this is the 7th Battle Company

Are you going to be doing a full company?

As of right now, my brother has a full Contemptor Talon, 30-40 troops, Power Armor Praetor (Going to be doing a slight custom to make Garro), and a few other Misc units, I'm sure he will be expanding at some point.

This is truly awesome!

I've always loved the idea of running a legion, well painted sir! The titan as well, very clean.

Subed!

Have a pre heresy game against my brother tomorrow, had to get this guy done to have a fully painted battle.

Nice Brokk, fantastic job on the lenses. Colors work well together too.

Those are some excellent lenses

Thanks guys! He was fun to paint and actually helped me out in the game today! made back his points easily!

I do have to state a preference for Horus' "Pre Heresy" White armor, but this model was definitely a joy to paint, Apologies ahead of time for his face, the casting left a little to be desired but none the less so does my skill at painting faces!

The Warmaster Horus Lupercal.

Faces are tough, I cant do anything nearly as good as your attempt so dont be so down. Interesting sculpt. His arms look thin and the talon of horrus is supposed to have a built in storm bolter right? Wonder how old it is.

It's rather old, but Forgeworld has announced that Horus is being sculpted now (and in Crusade Armor! Huzzah!!!!), so it won't be long before I have the proper Warmaster marching amongst his Sons.

Well... I gotta say. i checked out your whole blog. Aweseome. I love the attention to detail. All the high lining on the black armor must have driven you crazy sometimes. A Beautiful army. You must be pretty proud.

Thanks Senna, the line highlighting was kind of a pain, nothing as bad as my Necrons. but they are supposed to be extreme. I recently acquired an unhelmeted Calas Typhon head from a gamer in the UK who had no use for it on his model. So I used it to make myself a unique Sons of Horus Praetor in TDA.

Very nice work Brokk. That color is just terrific.

Fantastic work on the Preator, and the face is amazingly well done.

Thanks guys! been a while since I have touched my Sons and I felt like painting one again. I still have quite a few sitting in little plastic Forgeworld bags on my desk!

Horus looks great, but...I gotta agree with you. His face looks like he just gambled and lost and he's contemplating how much time it would take to teleport back to the ship to change his armor.

It's been a while, and this model has been done but I have slacked on posting it.

I waited around the Forgeworld booth for the entire first day of Adepticon, with many trials and tribulations associated to when the book was opening etc. Needless to say I am glad that I stuck it out for the long haul as this model is amazing.

I followed closely to the colors displayed on the cover of Primarchs, I am still attempting to understand why Forgeworld chose to paint him in the black armor when this was quite clearly a sculpt of the white. I know Eagan had said he intended it to be able to be painted either way. I guess I am just kinda crazy when it comes to things with Sons being correct.





I also recently purchased another massive chunk of Sons models to finish out the army at my current painting level. I will be building a lot more models that will be specifically built to match the best of my painting ability which was used on Horus.

Included in the next wave of updates to come.

30x Reavers with Jump Packs
10x MKIV Recons
3x SoH Contemptor Dreads
Fell Blade
10x Justaerin
Sicaran

Love it. Working on a HH World Eaters force. Your thread really inspires!

Mat

Thanks Combat, Always nice to hear, it has been a while since this thread got any activity, I have so much stuff for them just sitting on a shelf right now!

Nice work. This is actually the first time I've noticed there's a staircase on that base.

And the white armour on Horus looks great.

Mat

Nice. I really like your choice of white armor. Going way back to the Luna Wolves. He looks great.

Are you going to keep updating this thread Brokksamson?

I have a ton of models (literally another 2500pts) sitting on the shelf, as of right now they are on hold. I was working on an Eldar army for a local Escalation league, and now going to be working on some Space Wolves for a Campaign that my brother is creating.

In short... Yes I do plan on continuing to update, I just don't know how long it will be until there is an update! I might get a wild hair and work on some here and there.

For the Warmaster indeed bravo!
