daismith906 Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Hi all I reccently read the collected visions of the Horus Heresy and its inspired me to start a new army. The Thousand Son's have always interested especially the story between Magus & the Emperor & the Spaces Wolves set loose on Prospero. I really like the retro armour too & decided to suit the army in the old mk3 & mk4 power armour. So heres a few of my tests mini's http://img406.imageshack.us/img406/249/img0645m.jpg http://img22.imageshack.us/img22/9735/img0646xhy.jpg http://img12.imageshack.us/img12/5687/img0647g.jpg http://img31.imageshack.us/img31/3867/img0648t.jpg http://img31.imageshack.us/img31/3348/img0649myl.jpg http://img12.imageshack.us/img12/446/img0650msk.jpg http://img12.imageshack.us/img12/904/img0651nib.jpg Planning on making x2 10 man tactical squads, a 5 man assault squad with jump packs and a 5 man terminator squad. And heres a pic of the jump packs ill be using http://img22.imageshack.us/img22/5614/img0658fiw.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Tuditanus Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 the helmets are from maximini. Cool heads, where did you get them? RAFO (Read and Find Out). lol. Jet/jump packs are too, iirc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Phoenix Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 in reader's defense, the name isn't "maximini"...so the answer wasn't really available and google doesn't make the spelling correction by itself on this one http://www.maxmini.eu/store/index.php http://www.maxmini.eu/store/index.php?main...;products_id=60 jump pack is sweet but to me actually feels more advanced rather than archaic ? nevermind, i did some more searches and found out just how huge the pack is. nice and clunky :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Messanger of Death Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 What is the heavy bolter with the melta barrel supposed to represent? And the heads look appropriate on the space marine torsos. See them popping up in all sorts of WIP. Messanger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raven Angel Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 Actually the flash surpressors on the oldest patterns of bolters looked alot like modern meltagun barrels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See them popping up in all sorts of WIP. Messanger Basically the little plastic part that makes the heavy bolter barrel was broken in transit so had to adpat & used the melta barrel instead, i think it works quite well, lol!!

Solid Zaku Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 This. Is. Godly. I'm not a big fan of those rounded bases for some reason, but it's legal and I'm sure you'll paint them into being cool again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daismith906 Posted August 26, 2009 Author Share Posted August 26, 2009 Right tester model of viva metallica technique didnt go as planned, didnt like the shade of red the washes produced & it would take numerous layers to get a deep enough shade of red so its back to square 1 with the colour scheme. Right now ive based coated the tester model in mechrite red and dont know where to go from there. Thinking wash of badab black relayer mechrite red highlight with blood red then wash of baal red to blend it together any ideas/ suggestions would be appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raven Angel Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 use the normal reds not the foundation ones over your base. They are more translucent and will let you blend and build up subtile color shifts better. The foundation paints will just cover up the underling layers of paint.
