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.

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!
