Your Justaerin has turned out lovely mate. Can't wait to see more!

Here is the repaint of my dread in my Sons of Horus color. Hope you enjoy!

I like the lighter shade you went for on the SoH

Thanks I thought it was a bit closer to their Index Astartes, not a giant fan of the Forgeworld Style, it's ok but not my preference!

Here are the last 2 Terminators for my 10 man shoot squad.





I threw in Captain America's shield because I had a brass icon that looked exactly like it and I am a huge comic geek.



And a group shot of the 10man shoot squad with Falkus Kibre, and the contemptor in the background. Sorry on the flash, poor lighting near my display case.

A couple more done, 2/5 for my assault squad.

Moar Lightning Claws, I promise there is only one of these left and then troops and other such.

Love the color on the Contemptor. The Terminators look great.

Mat

2 emotions are stirred for me. Firstly some minor confusion at seeing my beloved colours adorning Loyalist filth.

And secondly rampant ENVY that you paint these gorgeous models so well and have the discipline to see the project through! Well done!

hahahaha, well thanks! I love the fluff behind them and Horus, more to come that won't be black and gold


Also thanks all for compliments on the color, it took a little bit of time to get it mixed properly, but now I have a consistent formula and a pre-mixed batch! should make things go smoothly.

Just wow, so much FW. Looking forward to seing it all painted. Nice to see a Luna Wolves/Sons of Horus in their original colours, don't see them often

Young Logan

Love the Sons of horus, you seem to have gotten them down prertty good.

Really like your paint scheme, could you go into detail of what you used would really like to get the same look.

I actually followed an older tutorial but I can't seem to find it off hand, I know it was from Warseer.

the "green" color is close to 50/50 of Vallejo Panzer USMC Tank Crew (green), and GW Astronomican Grey (old color, not sure on the new name).

I kind of added a little more green, little more grey etc until I felt I had the right one, so it's probably not exactly 50/50.

What about the terminators? looks like chaos black and burneshed gold if I'm correct?

Chaos Black (Abaddon Black), Shining Gold (not sure on the new one), shoulder is Evil Sunz Scarlet, and leathers are Calthan Brown.

Finally finished with Terminators! Cataphractii Ahoy! (I do plan to have at least 1 squad of the actual Justaerin models as well, more than likely Horus' Honor Guard.

40 troops base coated, have 5 heavy support to base coat tomorrow and then it's on to detail. Will also have 3 Scimitar Jet bikes and 10 Catulan Reavers on Tuesday. The Legio Grows.

This is awesome, can't wait for FW to release a Horus

Same here! I am also quite eagerly awaiting Abaddon and Loken! Thanks Squig!

Here are the first 2 of my Heavy Support squad w/ Missile Launchers.


First up is the Sergeant, I decided to denote all my Sergeants with gold shoulder trim.





Here is the 1st of 4 w/ Missile Launcher.



I noticed in that picture he needed a little touch up around his eye, that has been taken care of.

Well, Here we go with some more updates guys! I am going to be working on this army full force until it's done, putting other projects on hold.

Here are my 4 Devastators w/ Missile Launchers, Sarge was posted earlier.








This is a random sarge/commander for my guys, he will be playing as a normal troop for now until i pick up some more. I swear he is the same color as the others, the light was being a little weird because of the bottle I think.





And lastly some Sky Hunters that will be coming up in the paint list, riders are all removable right now so that I can paint the controls and what not without them in the way. 2 Multi Meltas and a Volkite Culvarin.

Nice work, I think those forgeworld jetbikes are wicked. They should look great in your colour scheme.

Still looking good also the Volkite Culvarin, what sort of weapon is it? I know you can't post rules but can you just hint at what it actaully is those that don't own the heresy book?

Young Logan

Culvarin is anti troop weapon, all the volkite is anti troop.

Here's the next batch, managed to get 3 troops done today while working from home because of below zero weather.





Next up is a Standard Bearer.





and finally, just for fun had to use the Vox backpack and head from the MKIV Command Sprue.






10% of my troops are done



Hope you enjoy!

Thanks

Also the finished command elements look great, especially a fan of the gold on the standard, almost looks like its glowing from the image you've posted. Best of luck with getting the next 90% painted, looking forward to seeing them all done

Young Logan

Well, I have finished a few special weapons over the last couple days, and here they are.

Here are a few more pics, I went back and added some transfers to the dreadnought, as well as dirtied him up a bit to match the rest of the army.





And a group shot of all the troops I have done so far, 26 left.



I also have a Spartan Assault Tank, 5 Justaerin, Storm Eagle, and Warhound Titan on the way for this army.

Gosh, the glowing lights on those special weapons looks incredible. I like the colour you've used for the Sons of Horus, too.

Thanks Lenny, I tried to go as close to the Index Astartes color as possible while still being able to duplicate and not just run out of paint some day. Thank you also for the nice comments about my special weapons, I think they turned out just the way I wanted them too, not too over the top.

to be frank: these are exelent! honestly brilliant, the best sons of horus ive ever seen!

my long answer is this: WOW, your paint scheme is amazing and you put all the right colours in the right places! the glow on the plasma is amzing! not too much, not too little! your sergeant guy poiting is really good, and its a brilliant model to use, im thinking of adding a cape to mine and having him wield a power sword in his bolter hand to make him look better and have a cool kind of bracing for the enemy yet ordering his troops kind of pose, for your tanks, you could either weather it a lot using sponges (look up templarcrusade01's world eater fellblade for a quick way of making a dirty tank) or keep it clean, your choice.
im guessing your excited about getting loken and abbadon, who will lead your army?
brilliant, just amazing, subscribed!

also, do you know a GW only way of doing a similar paint scheme?

Thanks Apostle! that's great to hear and I am overwhelmed with all the compliments. My tanks are going to be fairly dirt, something along the lines to match the troops but I am debating on putting some weathering along the bottoms to match the gray tone to the bases on my troops etc.

I already have Loken and Abaddon on order haha, Loken will be the main leader of my force no doubt. Abaddon is going to ride around in a Spartan with 5 Justaerin (actual "Justaerin" models) honor guard w/ Mutli Melta and power axes, as well as 5 normal cataphractii Justaerin w/ Dual Lightning Claws. In 6th I play them as Space Wolves and Loken will be my Wolf Lord, Abaddon will be played as a Lone Wolf in those lists.

I also recently received a fairly sizeable order that will be coming up in the painting rotations once my troops are squared away. Including a Spartan assault tank, Stormeagle, and Warhound Titan, along with the 5 actual Justaerin models as well as Loken and Abby. Ontop of all that I also have the 3 skyhunters, and 10 Catulan Reavers, which I used a Command Squad head on and will be modelling Kalus Ekkadon.

Sadly I tried a lot of different ways to replicate the color using GW paint and just couldn't find one that looked the same, I wanted as close to the Index Astartes color as I could get, and this seems to be it for me. Sorry!

Can I ask what your going to be using for the reavers? As far as o know they haven't made models for them.
