This is awesome.

Would love to see more.

The gold skin effect really is very nicely done. You did an impressive job with the red of the armor as well. Unfortunately, Lorgar is so totally under-welming and just plain lame that painting it well can only do so much. Forge World better up their game on the next Primarch. They've been flagging ever since Angron dropped.

I don't know about that - Ferrus was pretty spectacular!

I think Lorgar is a spectacular sculpt. One of Lorgar's defining attributes was passivity (earning him the chastisement of the Emperor). He's smaller than the other Primarchs and less dynamic sure but that's his character - the contemplative soul that doesn't want to be the general. That's how I see him anyway. When Forge World go back and produce the second version of the primarch perhaps we will see a more fiery vocal version.

Agreed. Horus looks pretty awesome too.

I've written up a retrospect in the character on my blog:

A little controversial for staunch imperial but there you go.

What do you guys think of the gif? It's quite clunky and it was a bitch to make. May only reserve this for special items like this diorama.

Awesome Typhon! Although I've just spent 5 mins trying to work out if that is 2 models of Typhon painted remarkably similar, or one model where you have managed to swap the heads (the terminator armour looks quite restrictive on swapping them round)

Currently leaning towards one model with 2 heads.

That's craaazy! How'd you do the cream w all the pink and green tinting?

@ Haighus - definitely one model

Cheers guys. That is indeed one model.

Great looking Typhon.

Oops, sorry for not answering this first time around. It was done with inks to simulate bruising on the flesh. Try purples, browns blues and reds with a little matt medium. Allow each layer to dry before washing any more ink on.

Sons of Horus Legion Sicaran Battle Tank





Sicaran Tetras, The Bastard of Beltragh. Heavy Ordnance of the Sons of Horus, Eighth Millenial
[Pict-capture Twelve Emperor's Insurrection]

Fogred at Mars the machine spirit of Teras had a reputation as having a bilious disposition. It would continue to exhibit malfunctions of an esoteric nature until its unconfirmed destruction in M37.
However this war machine had several notable kills before and during the Heresy. Agemenom, Captain of the Raven Guard's Shrike Legion, Vakaris the Glutton and the Xenos Lord Brakka Noin all fell to Tetras. Its last days saw it in the service of Iron Warriors annexing the Prmary Star system of Fell [Cross REF. The Bastard of BeltraghXXXIIII - Inquisitorial Seal Magenta].

Loving Typhon, definitely prefer the helmeted head version though. As always everything looking wonderful

Cheers for the tips on cream that tank though!

Kharn the Bloody 8th Captain of the World Eaters Legion.

Whatever you've read about miniature painting I can tell you now that none of it was applied to Kharn. Instead of watering my paints down and blending multiple layers together I mixed the paint up with my own blood (even the whites) and 'stabbed' it on with the end of a bald brush. Varnish? ********, I screamed "Blood and Skulls" at the model for 20 minutes and now the paint is to scared to flake off. The nails sung their blood hymn as I sawed my own head off for the final oil/blood wash.

Ermagherd...

I'm curios as to why you didn't put both shoulder guards on kharn, it really makes him look skinny

Awesome work as always.

Not a fan of the model but awesome paint job!

Nice anecdote at the end

Awesome work much prefer the helmeted head though, all the Horus heresy bare heads seem a little odd to me.

Keep up the good work though, looking forward to the next up date

Young Logan

Your work always has me in awe so do me a favor. Keep it up!

Cheers guys. I haven't got much time now so I'll swing round and answer your questions.

Awesome as ever

Have you been altering the lighting in photoshop on some of these? Loken and Abaddon seem to have no outline and are really hard to make out.?

@ Flippa - It's my own fault, I wasn't familiar with the camera at the time and the photos came out awfully dark. When I tried to adjust them...well, you can see the results for yourself. Any tips on how to improve my photography or presentation would be great.

Man, that was quick!

SOOOOO much better than the ones FW did. Great job!

I still hate that model, but the execution of the painting is great as ever. Abbadon is epic too.

Very nice! Not seen him in red before!

Now thats what the Kharn model should have looked like.

Lovely painting and converting.
