My newest conversion (especially the shoulder pads) for my pre-heresy Sons of Horus army is this SoH terminator.The armour of the elites of the 1st company under the command of Abbadon was black in contrast to the normal grey-green of the other companies. It suited me fine as I took a breath from the grey-green tactical squads...I hope you like him as much as I do...Comments and advice are always welcome

Very, very nice. The shoulderpads are very well done and you're very good at doing that gold.

My one slight criticism is the rather chaotic detailing on the terminator kit you based them off; I don;t know much about the imagery of the Sons of Horus but the chains, skulls and faintly daemonic face on the right knee don;'t seem to fit with the loyalist, pre-heresy look to me. Or am I wrong completely, as the Sons of Horus became the Black Legion, and is the imagery currently considered chaotic simply what they were like Pre-Heresy?

I too think that they didn't have chains,skulls and daemonic faces and such.They had the Imperial Truth after all and all beyond the realm of science were banned(bar the Imperial Eagle).

 

Other than that great mini,keep em coming!How did you do the shoulder pads?

They're a bit... green.

 

They are meant to be. Please refer to HH artbooks(color plates of all the legions) or in Index Astartes articles...

 

 

Perhaps I should have specified a bit more, the green is very dark, whereas the actual colour scheme is more a pearlescant green, of course this is all just my opinion. I'd say they were more white with green wash stlye of colour.

I would say that Ultramarines should be more of a black than blue, hehehe.

 

I love the way they look, and from my views of the art and stuff, pretty accurate.

The squad is now ready! (I use SW rules for my SoH).The squad is painted in black and not in green/grey as it belongs to 1st Co. and this Company's armour was always painted black...All insignia are free hand and I used mainly forgeworld parts in combination with various SM kits. I hope you like it...

Only Garvi doesn't have a power fist. But its such a nice pose on the model you can't just remove it, can you?

 

Well, as much as i like the paint job on Loken i must point out that he used a Bolter & Chainsword, not that very nice looking Powersword looking thing and Power Fist.

 

This is a good pick of him http://www.blacklibrary.com/Horus-Heresy/G...ion-of-One.html

Thanks a lot for you kind comments! You are right about Loken's wargear...I will probably build another version of him. Despite being very much involved with my Blood Angels project at the moment, I always find some time to add sth to my Sons of Horus :)...
