"It little profits that an idle king,
By this still hearth, among these barren crags,
Match'd with an aged wife, I mete and dole
Unequal laws unto a savage race,
That hoard, and sleep, and feed, and know not me."




The long years of isolation are at an end.
Man has thrown off the shackles of the false gods.
Compliance ensures unity, unity ensures survival.

Hello and welcome to this blog/ log thingy for a collection of Luna Wolves I have been fortunate enough to have been commissioned to create. This is my first foray into the world of Pre Heresy/ Heresy era army building although I've admired the work of others from afar. I knew I wanted to cut my teeth with a really special project, and in my procrastination this gem fell into my lap.

The client expressed his wish to create a Luna Wolves force untouched by the perversions of the Warp. The XVI legion in this iteration would be the Emperor's ideal; the striding embodiment of the Imperial Truth, uniting the disparate factions of man beneath the banner of a benevolent Emperor.

The long years of isolation are at an end.
Man has thrown off the shackles of the false gods.
Compliance ensures unity, unity ensures survival.

At the head of this crusade stands Horus Lupercal - the most devastatingly brilliant tactician and leader the Human race has ever known. In his shadow the Tyrant is annihilated, the Alien cast down.

These are all fantastic themes worthy of exploring. I'll be creating the Primarch and his vaunted Mournival to lead a host of Wolves. Although this will only be an infantry based commission, I hope to twist the client's arm a little and paint a raft of vehicles to accompany them.

**********************************

The response for this project has just been overwhelming. Thank you so much for the support. I've been given such great feedback that I'm thinking of folding all my previous Heresy work into one thread.

Another W.I.P shot of the Luna Wolves commission i'm working on. I've been brushing up on my ancient history in an attempt to answer 'what kind of Empire was the Emperor trying to create?" I've concentrated my studies around the figure of Pericles as I believe this character in history encapsulates the hope of Empire, shying away from the more unsavory aspects of it.

Before I move forward I need a little feedback. What images would be approriate for the legionaries form the Luna Wolves decal sheet?

I understand a few visual cues (lightening bolts = emperor) but I'm unsure what would be appropriate for the power armoured marines.

In other news, I'm running a promotional give away for a High Elf anointed of Asryan. Once 500 likes have been hit I will give it away to a random sharer. I'll be painting up a Legion Praetor in your chosen colours for me next give away, so even if you don't want the Anointed, like and share anyway to get the next promotion up and running!

What do you have to do?

All the best,

Cheers guys! Abaddon, Loken, Torgeddon, Little Horus and Big Horus are all on their way (W.I.P's on facebook).

In the mean while chop down on a bit of this:

Luna Wolves Legion, Tenth Company, Fourth Cohort







Fourth cohort, here depicted at the Fall of Balan adopt the unusual practice of swapping their legionary symbol onto the right pauldron. This tradition follows on from their stalwart captain, Loken who wears a studded pad on the left to better deflect small arms fire. This practice can be seen to espouse the wider philosophy of the legion; of unsentimental warfare and savage battle acuity.


++++++++++++++++++++

...And a little sneak peak on the elite elements of the commission.



and why not? Another W.I.P shot of an allied Legionary detachment.

They look amazing especially the Justaerin's bases.

I love the choice of Luna Wolves, not as common a scheme as their later incarnations, and really cool. Great work!

simply beautiful work, very nice stuff

Cheers guys. Thanks for the comments.
