Great painting, again, Myles! I have to say I hate that model for Lorgar, though. It's so un-impressive for a guy that should look very inspiring. I do like the under lighting.

The under lighting and skin tones are my favorite parts.

Agreed he looks like a space marine sergeant holding a power maul. Great painting though!

that would be GWs fault since they blinged everything out so much that nothing stands out anymore.

Once again, stunning work, and again better than the FW original. The subtle lighting effects and the superb effect on the armour are amazing.

I'd be interested to see what you'd do with a grey one, seeing two different versions of a mini is always interesting.

Keep up the amazing work.

Not really, this just isn't a fantastic sculpt. The big GW stuff is flashy, rank and file not so much.

I actually think this is my favourite primarch sculpt so far. It's nice to see a poignant stance. It's sometimes a little predictable to do a simple "in the midst of battle" pose. The look on Lorgars face is one of absolute hopeless dissolution and despair.. For me at least, this has more impact than the other figures. I sincerely hope we get more like this.

Lovely painting by the way!

Lorgar

What he said. Twice.

My first impression of the Lorgar sculpt was 50/50, whilst I found the sculpt itself to be generally pleasing (but not great), the FW grey/gold scheme massively let it down for me. That said, what you've done with the red/gold scheme takes the model to a whole different level. Despite Lorgar being my least favourite sculpt so far, viewing your take on Lorgar, up-lighting, red armour and all, has completely reversed my opinion - I'm no fickle person, but seeing this has put a whole new perspective on how I view that model. Excellent work mate!

Intimations on Perfection, unpublished treatise. Author Unknown.

Fulgrim's character is one of intense darkness and light. On the one hand he is the most idealistic (although Lorgar may disagree) of the Emperor's sons, striving for the perfection he believes humanity is capable of. His legion bore that responsibility until its disintegration, where each soldier chose what his personal ideal of perfection would be rather than the prescribed divinity of the Emperor.

I wanted to reflect this duality in the painting and modeling of the miniature. I painted Frulgrim in pristine armour, untroubled by the dirt and battle around him. He is above such things. The gold is a good foil to the purple armour. I decicded to paint the inside of Fulgrims cloak cream to further highlight the rich purple of the Emperor's Chidlren Livery. I changed Fulgrim's position of the base, putting him in a more central position. I couldn't imagine Fulgrim being content on the periphery of any scene, he dominates the centre stage.

I really like the face actually, helps to bring about the duality of the character. almost as if his quest for perfection has stretched him thin

This is great work. Really amazing calibre. I was hoping to see Lorgar with his gold painted skin covered in runic script like you always read about in the books though.

Cave_Dweller wrote:He looks great, I really love the underlighting on his jaw, very nice touch.

I vote for grey, maybe with some red hints?

Keep it up I love your primarch series!

Grey does seem to be the popular choice. I have a couple of ideas of how to make it stand out because plain grey is deathly boring. As an aside I really like what the Forge World artist done with the Lorgar model - adding grey into the armour's liturgy reminds me of the stones on the floor of a church.

Thank you. I must be one of the few people who love this sculpt. Perhaps it is better in the flesh?

You may have a point there. The Primarch is known for his passivity (at least at the outset of The First Heretic). A philosopher foremost - not the general his father wishes him to be. A passive, static stance suits the character.

Grey armour is incredibly challenging to inject interest into. For my next Lorgar I think I'll have to cheat again (like I did with the face).

One for the purist maybe? I tried pushing the contrast, deepning the folds of the face to try and show the emotion of the moment.

Time for a big blob of legionaires!

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.

Nice. The mini standards are nice touch

Their insaaaaaaanneeee! I love Luna Wolves! Almost as much as I love Sons of Horus. Do you have any idea if you will be doing some SoH in the forge world upgrade packs?

Outstanding work on Aurelian. The images make him look like a 120mm figure that you've painted - simply amazing. I think he's my favourite of the lot so far.

Haha, thank you. There will indeed be Sons of Horus stuff in the very near future. In fact Forge World displayed a banner bearer I painted on their facebook page.

"The Warmaster's Own" Justaerin Terminators, first company, Sons of Horus
[Pict-capture Istvaan V Massacare]

The unbroken point of the spear, the Justaerin were the vaunted first of Horus' Legion. The Warmaster's Own has the honour of accompanying the higher echelons of the Legionary command staff to battle, gaining their name by the amount of teleport assaults performed alongside Horus.

The squad displays a wide array of weaponry preferring tactical flexibility to battle field specialization. Equally adept at engaging mass infantry to dense armoured formations, The Warmaster's Own have reeved a bloody path through the Great Crusade and have taken their dark legacy into the Heresy with gusto.

Three members of the The Warmaster's Own survived Terra and formed the core bodyguard of Abaddon post heresy. Known for their loyalty, the remaining members would be deceived by more ambitious Traitor Legionaries and put to the Sword M.33.

P.S There's a Valdor conversion on my Facebook & blog page - just thought I'd throw that in the mix.

Constatin Vadldor looks beast mode, but so much gold and red. Aren't you just sick of it yet?

A couple of days! I don't check this for just a few days, and BAM, more awesomeness. Great stuff as always, love the neat but weathered look of the SOH and the Justerain.

Thanks guys!

@ Moltar - Not just yet, they are seasonal colours afterall!

New Year, new starts, old themes. The Pre-Heresy commissions keep rolling in. I'm still making up my mind on what my hobby resolutions are for this year, but one thing I am determined to do is create, paint and play at least one game with a blood bowl team.

A Former Champion of the 8th Millenial, Atronius died at Istvann V by the hands of the Iron warriors Legion. Atronius was born on Terra and was one of the very few Emperor's Children to be united with Fulgrim at the outset of the Great Crusade. The Terran Aquila adorns Ancient Atronius' armour, carrying the light of the Imperial Truth and the Might of Terra to the stars.

Ur welcome. There are a lot of unique dreads hanging around on FW now

Just got done reading The First Heretic, so I was expecting a less Chaos-y Lorgar, but this one is still really good! I definitely like the way the armor shows the depth of his corruption from his original form.

yup what he said. They've also used the same helmet design for the Phoenix Guard Terminators which I thought was a nice touch.

It's funny you mention that as I was listening to Betrayer while painting Lorgar. If you enjoyed First Heretic I think you'll be besotted by Betrayer - I certainly was.

Great work on the duel. I've loved those pieces since they came out and you've certainly done them justice.

As always, nice work
What colours did you use for Logan's armour? I can find a SoH scheme that works... Well until now

Jubbly as always.

Thank you guys!

@ Brother Payne: I believe it was a mix of reaper master series Peacock green and a cool grey (can't remember which one). But the trick to making this armour really work is GW's Coelia shade. This stuff really makes the armour sing.
