OwlandMoonGuy Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 Saturday was the team tourney day and here’s the final pics from the Mournival team we put together this year. Note that it’s not all my original work. Each player contributed their own 1,000 pts & unique objective markers to the mix. Display w/the view from below decks: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v699/OwlandMoonGuy/Pre-H%20Research/Adepticon09/00-Display.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v699/OwlandMoonGuy/Pre-H%20Research/Adepticon09/01-BelowDecks.jpg Horus & the Mournival: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v699/OwlandMoonGuy/Pre-H%20Research/Adepticon09/02-CommandStage-2.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v699/OwlandMoonGuy/Pre-H%20Research/Adepticon09/02-CommandStage.jpg Landspeeder conversions: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v699/OwlandMoonGuy/Pre-H%20Research/Adepticon09/04-SpeederConversions-2.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v699/OwlandMoonGuy/Pre-H%20Research/Adepticon09/04-SpeederConversions.jpg As an FYI, here’s the corresponding work-in-progress thread. For those interested, there’s some additional commentary in my blog. All comments welcome.

OwlandMoonGuy Posted April 6, 2009 Author Share Posted April 6, 2009 Got more and bigger pics of those land speeders? Wow... I need to take some but I’d be more than happy to do so. That was my intention after recovering from the weekend. I also want to add a pic of the Cpt. Eidolon (or was it Saul Tarvits?) model that was used as an objective marker. I never thought I’d enjoy painting a purple & magenta marine before but now that I’ve crossed that line I admit to really liking it. Thanks for the comments gents. -OMG Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/165212-luna-wolvessons-of-horus-display-for-adepticon/#findComment-1944348 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sons of Horus Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 very nice although i'm not a fan of the Horus model since it's not Horusy enough but other than that everything else is very very nice :jaw: the Warmaster is pleased :lol: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/165212-luna-wolvessons-of-horus-display-for-adepticon/#findComment-1944936 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonkin Arenis Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 Horus & the Mournival:http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v699/OwlandMoonGuy/Pre-H%20Research/Adepticon09/02-CommandStage-2.jpg You're going to have to get how everyone made their commanders, i'm just "wowed" by them! The Horus Model looks a tad small from that position, maybe a 'role-call' of the commanders, so we can see what they all look like together, i'm worried that Horus isn't big enough (I really can't imagine Horus thrying to squeeze into a Termie suit <_< ) Still, they all look very, very good, OMG! My congrats and condolences! You've motivated me to get working on a 'Display Army' with a friend of mine, we're both fans of the DA's, so obviously... hehe Thanks Arenis (EDIT) You're also going to have to get a picture of a single 10-man Tactical squad from each army, would be rather cool to see you they've been modelled/painted, as I can see the far-left Luna Wolves look rather blue...

OwlandMoonGuy Posted April 7, 2009 Author Share Posted April 7, 2009 I could try to get some commentary from the other team members but otherwise I can only speak for my own. If you go back in my B&C blog, you can see at least one WIP shot and some of the thought that went into it. In the end, I had to reconcile Torgaddon, who gets a very minimal treatment in the novels, to the WYSIWYG requirements of Pedro Kantor. So, though the books never said that Torgaddon fought with a power fist and, “Dorn’s Arrow” like bolter, he did for our purposes here. So the model is based on (the new) Sicarius’ torso. The head is from the Dark Angels upgrade sprues. His right hand has what became dubbed as the, “pepper box bolter” or a stormbolter w/four barrels. The powerfist hand w/helmet came from the Masters of the Chapter and that’s it. More of just a kit bash than a conversion. Still, worked for me. I know that there are better & WIP pics of the Horus model. Actually, it’s at least 60% greestuff. I’ll see if I can’t get them to start a thread on it. Cheers, -OMG ++Edit based on edit above (EDIT) You're also going to have to get a picture of a single 10-man Tactical squad from each army, would be rather cool to see you they've been modelled/painted, as I can see the far-left Luna Wolves look rather blue... The marines on the left of the display are done in the, Son’s of Horus scheme while the other as Luna Wolves. We wanted to show the separation of the Mounival members that stayed loyal to the Emperor vs. those who fell. You can see that same theme carried through in the banners on the embarkation desk display as well.

son of nocturne Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 Brilliant work as usuall OMG, you really pinned this lot to the artwork that they are based off. You seem to be able to churn out the armies when you need to so i cant wait to see what takes your fancy next! Something purple maybe? ;) S.O.N.

Brother Gothard Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 Why are half white and half gray/blue? I was following your blog semi-closely and I didn't ever pick that out. Anyway, it looks great, and I can't believe you didn't get an award just for the sheer grandeur of that display!

Sons of Horus Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 wasn't the Sons of Horus colour scheme greyish green? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/165212-luna-wolvessons-of-horus-display-for-adepticon/#findComment-1946799 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emperor's Instrument Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 OMG you know where I stand on your Luna Wolves after the Painting Challenge but this is somehow even more excellent, probably because of the increased scale etc... But again, top notch work by all four of you Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/165212-luna-wolvessons-of-horus-display-for-adepticon/#findComment-1946823 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Gothard Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Oh! Woa, I did NOT know (even though I read Horus Rising) that the Sons of Horus and the Luna Wolves coexisted as entities. Oh wait, yes I did. That`s weird ... Sons of Horus = Horus Company = first company of the Luna Wolves?

OwlandMoonGuy Posted April 8, 2009 Author Share Posted April 8, 2009 wasn't the Sons of Horus colour scheme greyish green? I don’t have the books in front of me but I believe the color was described as sea green or turquoise, IIRC. Perhaps the pics don’t do the actual models justice but they are a rather odd shade of green in person. I’ll check the text at the next opportunity. @Emperor's Instrument – And thank you again sir. I did NOT know (even though I read Horus Rising) that the Sons of Horus and the Luna Wolves coexisted as entities. Oh wait, yes I did. That`s weird ... Sons of Horus = Horus Company = first company of the Luna Wolves? I didn’t mean to mislead you with that answer. I do believe the entire legion changed over to being called the Sons of Hours at the same time. We used that transition to differentiate those companies that stayed loyal to the emperor (2nd & 10th) from those that fell to Chaos and allied with the Warmaster (1st & 5th). The color choices were made on purpose with that transition in mind. If you look at the largest banner at the top of the display, that about says it all per that aspect of the theme.

Brother Gothard Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Oh my OMG! That just brings an even cooler aspect to this diorama! Now I REALLY cannot believe you did not win something for this. I truly feel that is a crime against the hobby.

OwlandMoonGuy Posted April 9, 2009 Author Share Posted April 9, 2009 Here are some additional & more isolated pics of the newer models in the display. Namely, the Emperor’s Children objective marker & the landspeeder conversions. I think this wound up be Capt. Eidolon with, “temptress.” http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v699/OwlandMoonGuy/Pre-H%20Research/06-ECObjectiveMarker.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v699/OwlandMoonGuy/Pre-H%20Research/06-ECObjectiveMarker-2.jpg And here are the speeders: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v699/OwlandMoonGuy/Pre-H%20Research/07-Speeder-2.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v699/OwlandMoonGuy/Pre-H%20Research/07-Speeder-1.jpg I’ll post in my blog here in a bit with more details.
