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
