Hi - got my Horus Heresy game last week and have decided to paint the components...

Here's the first ones that I've finished so far.. my Blood Angels!

There's a Horus heresy board games?

but those look pretty sweet I guess, at such a scale they cant much better without looking cluttered.

...shoulderpads...

when did this board game come out

They look a little flat at the moment. I'm not sure what scale they are on but picking out the rims of the shoulder pads would help (they're a detail right where one would look at the model so would have a lot more impact than anything on the legs, although you could do something there too).

And the oft quoted 'give it a wash' would help as well.

About a week ago, two at the most.

The infantry is about Epic scale in size, maybe a touch bigger. The tanks and titans are smaller, much smaller in the case of the titans.

Weird that this release isn't even on the GW website...

Not that weird.
They don't publicise Dark Heresy or Rogue Trader on their site either.
They're done by another company under licence.

Yeah but Dark Heresy and Rogue Trader are not miniature games... anyway yeah clearly it was done by another company.

Looks pretty cool.

You can play with forces the titan legions, Mechanicus, and the Adeptus Custodes.

The downside to the board game is it's only two players. I prefer my board games to be at least four player games.
