Hello fellow Frater, I've been away from these hallowed halls for a while but following the Horus Heresy 2.0 release, I'm now more firmly in love with our hobby than I think I ever have been. I've been building a Blood Angels force for years but have decided to dabble with some more heretical marines for my latest project. LUPERCAL! For the Warmaster. I've always liked the 40k Abaddon model but never had a reason to get it until now. I'm in the process of trying to make my version of a 30k Abaddon.

So this is a thing, apparently?

That would free up points in maybe javelins, or drop apo and add one more squad in elite. thoughts?

Morning, I have recently been having a big push to add to my on going Sons of Horus collection. Mostly posting on IG/Twitter/FB etc and realised I missed the reading through and creating threads on forums. hence me signing up and starting one here! Anyway on to the good stuff! Ive always felt super drawn to the Sons of Horus, not only for the sea green scheme but also the fall to chaos in the background. Since the release of the age of darkness box I’ve jumped in to heresy as a whole, painting and gaming. (Fingers crossed this works and aren’t too big) I’ve attached some pictures of the stuff I’ve already painted in my collection over the last couple of years. Going forward I’ll hopefully add more wip and finished things as I do them. I’ll add some more of the stuff I’ve done as I go, rather than spam this thread with images. any questions at all fire away and I’ll get back. Onto my kitbashed master of signals now which is the last picture uploaded! cheers

I have a terrible lack of inspiration, I know. But I'm trying to fix it. For now, this another list. Quite simple. But I have a problem: The rite.

So I've been out of the hobby for a long long time now, took an extended break to try my hand at Gunpla(turns out I really like that) But Heresy 2.0 is dragging me back in, so to start us off, here's a custom contemptor I've been working on. Updates will be slow.

With the release of The Horus Heresy 2.0 I've been pretty excited about all the new releases and really enjoying the buzz on the forum, so a few weeks before preorders went live I ordered some bits from shapeways and went to work on the pile of shame. There's no real aim here, I haven't played Warhammer since about 4th edition and that's unlikely to change any time soon, but I enjoy collecting, modelling and painting so it's unlikely I'll be building anything like a competitive army here. So here's the first squad of 20, 15 of these were built and painted before I got my hands on the Age of Darkness boxset, so I used a bit of guesswork based off internet comparison pictures to try and get the size of them right. Sadly I don't have any WIP photos of these guys, but it was mainly a case of cutting above the belt and adding a small plasticard spacer, and cutting the thighs of mkiv legs to add a spacer there too. They're all made from an assortment of CSM parts, mkiv, mkiii and whatever else was floating in my bits box - I really like the look of cobbled together, mismatched armour and it seems appropriate for a massive conflict like the Heresy! Its a bit hard to see what's going on in that big group shot, so let's take some closer looks... Most of these guys are pretty self explanatory, a mix of different armour marks and a few shapeways shoulder pads/heads dotted around. I just had to include the imperial space marine, I added spacers in the shins and waist to give him a bit of height and swapped out his funky gun for a regular bolter. More of the same here. I had one random pair of mkv legs in the bits box which I used for the middle guy, then wanted more so tried converting mkvii legs for the guy to his right. The mkv head is actually a mkvii with a 40k terminator mouth grill and a bit of putty, an unnecessarily fiddly conversion so I've ordered a few mkv heads to save me that hassle again! I really wanted to include some mkii armour in this squad, so I followed an OLD tutorial to convert a mkii torso from a regular mkvii, arms are from the old CSM which are close enough to mkii, otherwise he's mostly mkiii. By this point the Age of Darkness box set arrived and I completed the squad. I can't say I'm a big fan of mkvi, and I hate the beaky helmets so don't expect to see many of them. But with a little kitbashing these guys are nice, of note is the guy left of center, I cut his torso off at the waist and swapped in a mkiv which seems to scale just fine. Far left is a Blackstone Fortress CSM, I just shaved off some of the excessive chaos detailing and swapped his head, shoulder pad and backpack. Here's a fun scale shot. We've got an old dark vengeance tactical marine, one of my slightly upscaled mkiv's, a mkvi and the converted csm. This particular mkiv is a little on the small side, he was built before I started adding spacers in the thighs so most are a little taller, but I'm happy to have a bit of variation across the squad - after all the blacklibrary novels make plenty of references to space marines varying in height. So seeing as this is meant to be a WIP thread, let's take a look at what's going on next. Neither of the new praetors really did much for me out of the box, but they have a lot of potential. The sword guy is a pretty simple kitbash to give him a powerfist and move the volkite to his other hand. I've scraped away some of the fiddly details and sculpted an eye of Horus on his knee, I've not decided what to do with his gut plate yet though. The Axe praetor is where things get a little silly... I've heard a lot of people mistake him for a terminator due to his sheer bulk, so I thought to myself, why not? I'm waiting on some SoH themed cataphractii shoulder pads from shapeways and he'll need a lot more work but you can see where he's heading. The new forum is way easier to upload and post photos from a mobile, but I've not figured out how to size pictures yet so apologies if they're massive! Likewise I wanted to hide some of the pictures in spoiler tags to streamline the post a bit, can anyone remind me how to do this please?
