  1. What would you say is the best loadout and role for two squads of Sons of Horus Cataphractii Terminators? One squad will be with Maloghurst in a Landraider and the other will be with a Master of Signals in a Landraider..
  2. Hey everyone, welcome to my hobby thread! If you're looking for one of the colour scheme tutorials from my 'March of the Legions' project or one of the basing tutorials, please check the bottom of this post for all of the relevant links. If you can't find what you're looking for or if you have a question that's not answered in the relevant post, please feel free to send me a private message. Regards, Kizzdougs. For more regular updates check out my Instagram account @raptorimperialis I've recently been feeling the urge to start a new 40K project. After much musing and many false starts, i've decided on the Thousand Sons, Pre-heresy. They aren't my favourite legion or chapter but the TS have always be a legion full of character, imagery and conversion opportunities. A perfect combination in my opinion. This project has been at least two years in the planning process. It all started when i converted a PH TS sorcerer for a conversion competition at my local GW (which i was lucky enough to win). After building the Sorcerer i knew i had to make some more TS, they are just so fun and different. Unfortunately it has taken me over two years to finally get here. The Sorcerer who started it all. He is a relatively simple kit bash with minimal GS work. I took inspiration from the Thousand Sons art in 'Collected Vissions', especially that of Ahriman and Uthizarr. http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l522/kizzdougs/photo-3.jpg The test mini. I used bits from several kits to build this terminator, the majority are from the GK terminator kit and the Tomb Guard kit (WHFB). http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l522/kizzdougs/DSCN0290.jpg?t=1313302289 With crest added. I can't decide whether to give all the terminators these crests or just keep them for the squad leaders. Any opinions and suggestions are welcome. http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l522/kizzdougs/DSCN0291.jpg?t=1313302233 http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l522/kizzdougs/DSCN0292.jpg?t=1313302169 A close up of the force weapon. Such a simple conversion but i'm fairly happy with how it turned out. Sorry about the bad lighting. http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l522/kizzdougs/DSCN0289.jpg?t=1313302359 Hopefully this project will develop and progress at a not too slow pace (fingers crossed). I plan on adding some Sisters of Silence and maybe even some Custodes at a later stage. I'm certainly feeling the necessary inspiration at the moment. Any and all suggestions and advice are more than welcome, as are questions and queries.

  3. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cZcKJ5IvmrU “Even the darkest night will end and the sun will rise.” Victorian Hewgo the Miserable, Frank playwright M02 There are times when I wish that I had never witnessed what I have seen, when the sorrows of glories past are too much to bear for my mortal soul, and I break down in tears. Then there are the moments when my memory wanders to heroic sacrifices no longer known by anyone but me, acts of valor that would fill anyone with pride, and I regain something of my ailing strength once more... My name is Jern Zonalf, and though my part in the tale that I will tell is small and humble, it is important that you know who I were, and why I saw the deeds that I will speak of. I was born in the 183rd year of the Great Crusade, in Jermani on Terra itself. I was a weak and sickly child, and it was no surprise that the chance to become an Astartes passed me by, nor was it unexpected that I was deemed unfit to serve as a soldier when I came of age. There, but for my skill with pen and quill, could my life had taken the path of a common laborer. With these talents I was trained as a Remembrancer instead, taught to follow in the footsteps of the Legiones Astartes as they spread the Emperor's Light across the Galaxy and to document their deeds for the generations to come. Glory and adventure beckoned, and thus it was with great expectations that I boarded the ship that would take me from the cradle of Man and into the darkness of space. I was young then... Not this withered husk of a man clinging to the last threads of his life, racing time as he tries to pass his knowledge on before closing his eyes for good. I will try to find the strength to speak for the voiceless dead a final time, but if that fail, know this. Once there was hope, once there was a golden future for Man. Once there was a time of heroes... So, this is it. Time has come for MrBear to join the numerous others onboard the Heresy Train. Some of you might already know me for (slowly) painting Night Lords over in the 'Works in progress' section, and if you're not among those: Nice to meet you brothers and sisters! Whether or not you already know me, this is the culmination of my growing interest for the Heresy era of our hobby. It's going to be an erratically updated project where I'm aiming to build my first 'gaming' army for 11 years. That's right, last time I gamed with far future post humans was back in 2005. I've kept up painting through the years but never built a 'proper' army in all that time, I've simply been a collector. These last couple of years though, I've become more and more interested in the Horus Heresy, and when BaC was released I seriously started to consider a 30K army. I finally gave in, and I've decided that now is as good a time as any to start. With loyalist Sons of Horus as my chosen path. A couple of important things you'll need to know though: First, I am slow. Don't expect frequent updates, full of painted stuff. Second, I am a very 'background oriented' guy, meaning that I enjoy giving my guys and units backgrounds, and I really don't care much for unit efficiency or 'killer combos'. 'Interesting' characters and units pretty much always comes before powerful but 'less interesting' ones when I paint stuff. It also means that I haven't got a planned list on what to paint, or when to paint it. I have a rough idea on what I'm going for, but that will probably change along the way if past experiences are anything to go by... I can already hear people going: 'Yeah, that's all very nice. But what about models?!' Not much to show yet to be honest, but I have a couple of things prepared: These are the tester models I've painted. A bit darker than most Sons of Horus I've seen, but not as far off as they might seem in this picture (I don't have a light box), and I'm going to add some weathering on future models aswell (as in the picture above) so the guys that's going to be part of the army will have a suitable look. Speaking of those guys though: Everything is just tacced together at the moment, so poses aren't final. I'm probably going to do some minor conversions on a couple of these guys as well. No sculpting though, I'm terrible when it comes to using green stuff. That's it for now really. I hope to start painting during the week, and if I'm lucky I'll have some pictures showing progress in a few days. Cheers!
  4. Hi all, Looong hobby hiatus for me. As I've eased back into things, I'm considering starting a small 30k force. I've chosen the Sons of Horus as I really like the colour scheme and the background. No idea if they are a competitive Horus Heresy army. Not sure I'm too bothered about that aspect though. Also, representing the harsh Chtonian culture of the Legion on the models, through iconography, weapons, etc... sounds like a fun project to me. I'd like the force to represent the SoH Pre-Heresy/at the onset of the Heresy, before their fall into damnation. What I'm doing now is putting some concept art together to get a feel for the force and make me understand how the army is going to fit together visually. I thought that banners would be a good start as they are a focal point of any army. I've tried to mock up some designs, but I was curious if anyone had any feedback on these. Do they fit your understanding of the Legion? Are they impactful enough? Finally, does anyone know any good reference material specifically for SoH banners? Has anyone painted anything they'd like to share? I'd appreciate any feedback you guys have, searching the internet hasn't yielded as much as I'd like. Here's what I came up with:
  5. Here is my first attempt to build a Heresy-era army. Some models I chose just because I like them, but I don’t want the list to be total garbage. Before I start buying models, I have a few things I’m not sure of: - am I packing enough anti-tank punch? I see this list as only having the Spartan & Venator giving any kind of anti-armour capabilities, but the Drop Pod Leviathan and Assault Squad with Melta bombs should also take out a few vehicles... - took a Power weapon on the Moritat: will it ever pay itself back? - Lightning Claw Terminators: are they viable or waste of points? - similarly, are Volkite Chargers worth the extra pts vs combi bolters? I do think the weapons look cool - Phosphex Discharger on the Drop Leviathan - waste of points? - Apothecary w/jump pack: was considering artificer armour but decided against it...

  6. The Dreadreavers The Mongrel Company, Sons of the Warmaster The Dreadreavers started their life as the "Dreaded" 55th company of the Luna Wolves. They were considered extreme in a legion renowned for its savagery, a circumstance owed to their large amount of destroyer squads. The 55th has continually developed their own version of the legion's famous speartip strikes, using their destroyer corps to soften up enemy soldiery before committing their assault elements in an attempt to expose more exploitable weak points. During the Ullanor Crusade, 55th captain Arkhon Zar is laid low by greenskins and thus considered unfit for company command. His successor, Dyrath Kal, continues to lead the company down their path. His style of leadership betrays an even greater contempt for foreign lifeforms; the Dreaded quickly becomes relegated to xenos extermination and last resort deployments. As the Luna Wolves become the Sons of Horus and the Galaxy erupts into flames, Kal and the 55th relish the new callousness their legion displays. The company as a whole sees more deployments again, Horus sanctioning more and more destroyer operations in his slow downward spiral into damnation. The Dreaded usually fights in the vanguard of the Warmaster's push for Terra, often at the side of the Death Guard and the World Eaters. Elements or even the entire strength of the Dreaded have fought in theatres such as Dwell, Molech and Beta-Garmon. The company partook in the Culling of the Wolves at Yarant under First Captain Abaddon before joining the majority of the traitors for the muster at Ullanor and the subsequent Solar War. In the aftermath of the Siege of Terra the 55th company splits off from the rest of the Sons of Horus on Maeleum, taking the warship Pillager deep into Eye of Terror. Their colours press them into fighting a war on multiple fronts, with no end or reinforcements in sight. They reappear some time later as the Dreadreavers, wearing Abaddon's black - the exact circumstances of their change of sides remain ambiguous. The new warband is, like so much in the modern Imperium, a twisted reflection of its former self. All four ruinous powers have found purchase in the Dreadreavers - the Reaver Attack Squads of old have been absorbed by ravenous packs of Khorne Berzerkers, where Destroyers used to blight the earth Plague Marines tread as they dispense Nurgle's blessings. The tally of worshippers is long, yet undivided elements - like Dyrath Kal himself - remain. Thus, as the influence of chaos seeps into their order of battle, their tactics and strategies have largely stayed the same. The Dreadreavers have, upon donning the Long War's black, pledged their undying loyalty to Abaddon. While this is an absolute truth, the warband includes/hides a sub-sect of considerable size seeing Horus as a kind of 'black saint', a dark martyr whose sacrifice allowed his followers to finally begin the endgame ten millennia later. The warband also inherited a plethora of cthonian traditions by way of their origins as a company of the Sons of Horus. Gang-runes, topknots, mirror-coins and other charms and design elements can be found aplenty among the astartes. Although they recruit and cultivate new space marines from all eighteen bloodlines, the Dreadreavers also strive to keep the first Warmaster's genetic memory alive, having set up a permanent apothecarium on the Pillager. There, their flesh-smith - name to be decided - toils endlessly to have Horus' genes live on. Imperfect cloned DNA strands, chimeric geneseed, even pacts with the malign Fabius Bile are not below them in their desire to continue the line of the sixteenth. In reality, they could not have strayed further from this goal. One of the Heretic Astartes' most important assets is a suitably large number of mortal followers. Under the watchful gaze of their posthuman masters, human and abhuman menials provide the warbands with a crew for their ship, bodies to throw at the guns of their enemies and a steady source of aspirants. The difference for the Dreadreavers is that their auxilia consists not of cultists worshipping them as dark angels eager to step in their shadows, but rather slaves, kept submissive through the teeth of chainblades and whipped into a frenzy before being unleashed in battle. Lastly, the rechristened Dreadreavers are once again known to have participated in a number of the most pivotal campaigns in the Long War. Sightings of Dyrath Kal himself were made on El'Phanor, Tarinth, Cadia and Vigilus. The most recent astropathic missives, fragmented as they are, mention the warband as attacking seemingly random targets across the Imperium. Whether this behaviour is truly whimsical or part of Abaddon's plans is unknown at this point.

    XVIth Legion 'Luna Wolves' (pre-Horus Sons of Horus).
  8. First Squad finished, i grouped all the bare heads in this half and it pained me :D Turns out after a few years mostly painting SoS my marine face skills have atrophied a bit but i felt a Veteran Recon squad would be full of the types to go bareheaded in a warzone with a big beard! 301502463_10160198129495797_1345052255596126435_n Still, not my best work overall but perfect is the enemy of finished and their assecories came out alright which is gratifying lol 302335850_10160198129340797_4196179141440337787_n I also got my WH+ Assassin through and got to work on the fun bit, she is mostly done but ill probably do a little more once the sub assemblies are together, just really happy with how this came out so far! I spent a lot of time staring at damaged painted statues which are surprisingly hard to find to try and get the look right. 286266191_10160202547560797_8438937748685402211_n
  9. Been making a bit of progress since the sun stopped trying to kill us all :D First up as i finally made a decision on basing (Desert to match the current other member of the drop out filled group project) i based the apothecaries i recommissioned from unfinished Iron warriors as testers. 302176213_10160193461300797_8508922370391818114_n Then on to Infantry, which by effectively raw chance turned out to be my super flex recon/veteran squad(s) the first 5 of which have turned out alright i think (tidied up the camera spotted sins post photo) all fairly straightforward work, though its been a while since i worked from a coloured basecoat instead of a straight zenithal. I did have a mad struggle with squad designation, the new book just gives the Sons the Codex markings (zzzz) and the older ones only seem to deal with specialist squads rather than a broader selection. Ech in the end i went for a claw rune and probably something fancier for the others. Thats a problem for future Nos though. Sucker. 301578643_10160192030480797_5154679048320220669_n 300820135_10160192030375797_2534577830903365377_n
  10. From the album: Sons of Horus

    Concepts for Sons of Horus Banners
  11. 16th Company "Dogs of War" "The day will not save them. And we own the night!" -Praetor Zekyr Valac, leading an night attack in the Battle of Tar-Namib. The 16th Company “Dogs of War” of the 16th Legion “Sons of Horus” were many things. To the loyalist forces, they were relentless hunters, who tracked and tore into their prey with wild abandon. Night-terrors given flesh. To forces within their own legion who had thrown their lot in with the powers of the Warp, they were a rogue, uncontrollable element. Something to be eliminated, to be thrown to the wayside. And to themselves? That’s harder to say. A multitude of types existed within the 16th Company. Daemon-hunters, ruthless gang-killers, and sincere soldiers of the rebellion all found their place here. The company itself was solidly Horusian, to the point of hunting down loyalist Sons of Horus on Istvaan III and waging his war on the desert world of Tar-Namib among other planets. But, its officers were wary of daemons and pacts with them. Herein lies a contradiction. To be soldiers of Horus, but to refuse the powers behind him? Unthinkable. But the Dogs of War dared to do the unthinkable. Tar-Namib "This world is doomed to damnation. I feel it in my bones." -Centurion Baruman, upon disembarking onto Tar-Namib Tar-Namib was a Mining World in the Ultima Segmentum, mere light years from Molech. Horus deemed the planet strategically vital, its resources needed for sustainment of the March to Terra. While the main body of the Legion fought for the Warmaster's power, the 16th landed troops, led by the honored Praetor Zekyr Valac, on what they thought to be a soft target. They encountered loyalist elements from the Shattered Legions there, loyalists who had made dark pacts of their own. And so began a life-and-death struggle for the world, far from the eye of their fathers. Scouring sandstorms. Thunderheads the size of continents. The Ruinous Powers. All these things awaited the Dogs of War. But did they think to fall back? Never. --- --- --- So I'm making the jump into Heresy, one of my 40,000 projects. This guy right here is my first. Nothing too elaborate. Washed, chipped, and based. I never claim to be the best painter. Tar-Namib is going to be the "main storyline" so to speak. Most of the minis are going to be based for a desert world.

  13. Soooo, here I go again. I'd been in something of a long-time Heresy rut, flitting between Legions and never being able to focus. I pretty much sold up and gave myself quite a while off Heresy, knowing I'd come back to it when it felt right. So, in doing so I sat down and had a proiper think about what I wanted to do. I was re-reading the books from the start and I forgot about how magical it all seemed at the start and how much I loved Horus, Loken, the Mournival and the path they eventually went down. However, one thing that always out me off them as an army was never finding a colour I actually liked for them. Returning from my sabatical, lo and behold! What do I find but an actual Sons of Horus Green paint, and one I liked too! Then they released the gorgeous new Maloghurst mini too....it felt like the stars had aligned and my choice was made. I've always gone for that gritty, weathered style of painting so grabbed a spare MK III Tactical marine and tested out the scheme. I was happy enough with the green, which I never usually am! Here's the tester I did below:
  14. Hey, so I'd like to convert a pair of models representing The Either and The Or, but I've never read the first Horus Heresy books, so I don't know what Verulam Moy is armed. Tybalt Marr has rules, so I can just go by that, but could someone who has read the books what he carries. A sword? Axe? Bolt Pistol? Any idea what mark of armour he carries? Would be grateful for any help!
  15. "Following the hard lessons learned during the Rangda Xenocides, the Hrud Exterminations, the Decimation of the Voregore, and the ongoing Ork Wars, it had become obvious to the Lupercalian Strategos of the 16th Legion that there existed a need for dedicated eradication units, though something less contaminating than the tried and tested Destroyer formations. Zhuhal Ghorrost, then 2nd Captain of the 86th Company, proposed the formation of a mixed arms company, combining highly mobile units of jump-enabled infantry, armed with Volkite weaponry in order to scour the biomass of the offending Xenoforms with fire and heat. Supporting this, Ghorrost proposed the deployment of Dreadnought units. Intrigued, the Lupercalian Strategos approved the proposal, and rolled it into the then-experimental Contemptor Program. With the implicit backing of Horus Lupercal, through his intermediary Strategos, Zhuhal Ghorrost was promoted to 1st captain of the 161st Assault Company. In the following decades, the 161st accrued a reputation as ruthless exterminators of any threat to the Pax Imperialis, often undertaken gruelling Xenocides, alongside the thankfully rare tragedy of nescessary Re-compliance operations on Human populations." - Excerpt from Tactical Dispositions of the Legionnes Astartes, vol. MCMXXXVI, 986.M30 1st section, Squad Spite, lead by 2nd Captain Engra Ekakkios, a so-called True Son of Chtonia. Imposing, even amongst his fellow Astartes, Captain Ekakkios embodied the directed brutality of his homeworld, and combined it with a razor-sharp tactical acumen, borne of the expert tutelage engendered upon those inducted into the 16th Legion. 2nd section, Squad Spite. Of note amongst the warriors in this pict-capt is one Othon Marr, wearing a modified Mk.IV helmet with reinforced molecular bonding studs and Mantilla-pattern re-breather. An extraordinary amount of Chtonian affectations adorn his armour, including variant heraldry. Venerable Agathocles originally hailed from the 64th Company, but upon his internment, he was reassigned to the 161st, owing to his experience from the Destroyer Corps. Armed with a heavy Volkite Culverin and a Dreadnought powerclaw with integrated flame-projector, the Contemptor-chassis proved highly adept at effectuating the scorched earth-ethos of the 161st.
