Hi, guys !
This morning, I have the joy to present the Lord-Commander Eidolon himself !
He was a pleasure to paint, and quite quick at that.
I haven't painted his unhelmeted head yet, and I'm likely to repaint his cloak in a not so distant future, but so far so good. He is to lead my force to an event at the end of the month, so we are going to see him in action very soon !
I tried not to overload him with golden. Indeed, I actually really enjoy my paint of Lucius, on who I've been very light with golden and white paint, unlike Sault Tarvitz, so I tried to paint him more like that.
Here he is, enjoy :

Eidolon looks stunning! The selective use of white and gold works well on home! I look forward to seeing him in action!

Thank you !
Here is the list I am going to play this weekend :

An impressive force.

Army looks glorious all together! Hope they do well this weekend, especially the Sun Killers. What a cool EC unit (that the internet doesn't seem to like much, which means I'm here for it

)

Well, unfortunately we won't see how they behave as I got my wallet stolen and had to cancel going to the event... That's so unfortunate, I was a few hours away to take the train for Paris

Oh no! That sucks, hopefully it doesn’t cause much more of a PITA than missing the games. The Army looks resplendent in any case. At least this way the Sun Killers might dodge the bad luck of being a freshly painted mini!

So far, so good ! But it's a shame because it was the first HH convention in Paris, and it was quite a big event. I had been talking about that for months and literally the day before, that happened...

Well, today I have the very last unit of the army, the phoenix terminator squad ! And good news, found my light box so I also got better pictures of Eidolon.

The phoenix terminators :

I didn't use a lot of decals, as they are already adorned enough, I didn't want them to look overloaded. They were very pleasant to paint but time consuming, a lot more than I thought initially.

Eidolon :

Spoiler:

All my characters have a cloak painted in a different way : the dark cloak is to sho the dark heart of Eidolon. The red one is the show that Lucius is driven by his passion, while Tarvitz wears white, a symbol of his purity of soul and heart.

Next, I am to paint the Primarch Fulgrim Himself. It's quite a daunting quest, I'm telling you ! It's crazy to eventually be there, after all those years

I know it's not 100% over, because I have to do a little tidying like painting the red optics and the power weapons green (I started doing this on the characters and really liked it), but overall, we are edging to the end of the project. And what a journey !
Anyway, I am not in a hurry and Fulgrim is going to need some time, so enjoy the pictures of today !
Thanks !

Sounds really Sh1tty, but you’ve got shiny new Terminators to help! They are super cool minis and look great in your colours. Love the idea for the 3 cloaks showing their character, nice one!
