Here he is!

I have 2 issues with this model, and may even get another one and start over.  The first is the lion head on the shoulder was hard to file off so finally I covered the lump with some plastic card, I'll paint it as armor and call it done.

The other is errant file stroke took a bit out of his head, I'm debating between trying to green stuff it and trying to make it look like wound.

For paint I plan on gold and red and black.  Gold armor, red sash and cloth, black weapons and trim.  Any suggestions on that?  Has anyone tried painting metalic gold over orange?  Would that work better?

 

a cloak is very easy to do, but he has so much stuff going on already I'm a bit relucant. But it might work.

I was going to do a powerfist but a PF is the same size as his existing fist, so I'm not sure it's needed. Again I'll think about it.

"Are we supposed to be impressed?"

Nope.

you're supposed to make a better one so i can learn from you.

Thanks, I'll have to check it out soon.

I have most of my tools and stuff but more than half my models are on their way to china. Just as well that I want to get into a new game then.

I should have a painted Space Emp soon along with some superheroes.

thanks for the idea with the roman shoulders winterman that sounds like the way to go.

pieman my plan for him and horus is to use the chaos deamon prince rules with no limit on the number of gifts. Horus then can buy chaos wargear and psy powers, the Emp can buy marine and Inquisition stuff.

In a lot of the fluff from the Horus Herasy they were big strong tough guys but by no means unkillable. They mention Horus saving the Emperor from Orks for example. If the 40k rules can accomidate greater demons, avatars and cthan (and titans) they can take the Emp and Horus.
