Hi all. Starting to get some work in on for my adepticon team's army. We decided to go with a pre-heresy look. So far I'm using a AoBR body, a WoC helm, and CSM backpack. Using some tutorials I found for adding the studs, which are microbeads I found at a craft store.



Any and all feedback greatly appreciated. I'm currently considering adding some studs to the helmet, thoughts on that or anything else?

Looks great, can't wait to see it painted. The microbeads idea is pretty clever.

The studs tutorial was in How to paint FW miniatures.

Thanks for the feedback so far.

The idea for the team will be each set of 1000 points will represent a different legion each lead by their primarch.

This article BoLS had last week is where I got the idea for anybody interested. http://www.belloflostsouls.net/2013/01/hobby-horus-heresy-legs-mk-v.html

Here's another article from the same author for shoulders, though it's the same idea. http://www.belloflostsouls.net/2012/11/hobby-studded-power-armor.html

Here's another shot. I added some details to the first guys helmet using guitar wire and some GS.

I did not see this, but clearly great minds think alike. I will have to go keep your post saved to check back for inspiration, thanks for posting this. I'm having a blast making these guys so far.

Edit: If anybody is interested in following the progress as this builds up to a 4000 point team army, I started a P&M blog http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/504243.page
