EXE's Horus Heresy 2.0 Adventure - Dark Mechanicum!

[Heresy.EXE]

Uhhh.. Hi?!

I'm EXE, also known as Alex, I used to paint miniatures for competitions and comissions for over 8 years, but 3 years ago fell out of the hobby due to personal issues, and picking up a small esports career in Apex Legends. 

I always kept an eye out for the hobby, looking over my shoulder on a monthly basis, that deep down passion still burning down for painting awesome looking mini's.

Now that Horus heresy 2.0 is launching, and all these new cool awesome fluff models and fluffy lists are popping up, I think it's time for me to make a return and give this hobby another go!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SO! As I haven't painted in a little over 3 years (like literally haven't held a brush or had a paint near my hands in that whole time), you have to excuse me for the slight rustiness and slightly messy work. With time I am sure I'll be able to get back to where I was, but now it's for passion, and most importantly, only for me to enjoy.

 

So what's the project you may ask?..

 

BLACKSHIELDS!
BECAUSE HECK CHOOSING A SINGLE LEGION TO WORK ON!

And with that, my first test unit, to see if I like the scheme, and to see if I still got it:

Your painting skills don´t look that rusty at all... 

Looks lovely!

Any idea what that blackshield  "parent legions" are?

I guess some skills never fully fade, but I feel so incredibly slow compared to before!

For the parent legion, I will be choosing and picking from any legion at will really. These chaps are my raven guard survivors, but my next unit might be some loyalist world eaters!

 

BUT FIRST

SPARTAN ASSAULT TANK!

Next addition!

Brother Bob of the Iron Hands legion!

Hey, glad you're posting these here too, really like how your black and white beakies came out and can't wait to see more!

[Heresy.EXE]

Thank you for all the sweet comments guys! I am very motivated due to HH2.0, and with the inclusing of some new tools that I ordered I will be able to expand on multiple HH forces very soon!

 

TODAY I BRING...
Blackshield Siegebreaker

 

[Xin Ceithan]

These are really really good. And I am always in awe of people who can pull off painting white.

[Smoke Frog]

Those are great, really fantastic looking blackshields!

That latest guy looks awesome, that's a really great use of a 40k deathguard mini. The blue glowing eyes are really nicely done too.

[Triszin]

Crazy cool stuff

[Heresy.EXE]

Thank you all!! Every time I see you guys comment my motivation doubles :D

 

Now for the next boyz joining the army: 

10 more marines to flesh out the canon fodder!

 

[Heresy.EXE]

Heya guys!

Are you guys ready?...

PREATOR TIME

[DaBoiKyknos]

Looks like he has seen some serious action! 

[sockwithaticket]

I've not seen any Blackshields who aren't all black before, cool take.

[oldschoolsavant]

Well, I can say the blue detail and hints on the shoulderpads are definitely giving me loyal WE vibes.

[Heresy.EXE]

Thanks for all the comments guys!

Been a bit busy with my new 3d toy, and have been creating some very cool new projects! 

Here is my test run for Dark Mechanicum Thallax:

Nice, cool to see more fleshy body horror for the Thallaxii. Not sure if the skin could benefit from contrasting a bit more with the yellowish armour, though.
