Lord Lorne Walkier Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Very Nice. You chose the Luna Wolf Colors. Why them and not the Sons? Don't take this the wrong way. The model is nice. I'm glad to see you got the weapons right. Did you put any Mournival markings?

aapie014 Posted March 16, 2011 Author Share Posted March 16, 2011 well i did it in the luna wolve colours because in my opinion the Sons of Horus are the start of the downfall of Horus. and because i like the legion symbol more than that of the Sons. and above his right eye i painted a new moon. might be a bit wrong but because new moon is wel kinda all black i thought it would be nice to put only a small ciculair piece Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/224910-my-garviel-loken-mini/#findComment-2690470 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love it. If i may, i would love to see some squads. Here are the ones named in Horus Rising. 10 Cumpany, Luna Wolves, XVI Legion: Rassek and his Terminator Squad. 1st, Veteran, Sergeant Xavyer Jubal and his 'Hellebore' Tactical Squad. 3rd, Sergeant Nero Vipus and his 'Locasta' Tactical Squad. 7th, Sergeant Udon and his 'Brakespur' Tactical Squad. ?th, Sergeant Talonus and his 'Pithraes' Squad. ?th, Sergeant Kairus an his 'Walkure' Squad. 7 other squads. That would make a sick Pre heresy force. On a kinda super nit- picky point. I think you have captured all the things we know about Loken's look except one small feature. Other then his trade mark ye 'ol Bolter and Chain sword, and his Mk 5 Power armour. The one identifying mark is on his bolter. pg 21 Horus Rising. "His weapon had a gash in the foregrip, the legacy of a greenskin's axe during the Ullanor, a cosmetic mark Loken had told the armourers not to finish out." Here is a picture i think shows the mark. http://www.blacklibrary.com/all-products/G...ion-of-One.html Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/224910-my-garviel-loken-mini/#findComment-2690507 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legio Draconis Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Looks great, I think you have captured Loken fantastically. Lord Lorne Walkier, I think that picture you linked is none other than Nathaniel Garro of the Death Guard.

Chief Librarian Vespasian Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Lord Lorne Walkier, I think that picture you linked is none other than Nathaniel Garro of the Death Guard. Actually, as I understand it, the Astartes in that picture is supposed to be Iacton Qruze. BattleBrotherJohn: I believe that the crest comes from the Captain Sicarius miniature. aapie014: A great miniature of Loken. I really like the fact that you have added loads of details on the miniature, including those that are often overlooked by others. For example the use of the Eye of Terra/Eye of Horus by the Luna Wolves after the Triumph of Ullanor. The Luna Wolves are my favourite Legion and like you, they appeal to me far more than the Sons of Horus do. I'm looking forward to seeing your other takes on various characters. If you you are after any specific information about the Luna Wolves, feel free to PM me and I'll try to help. Great work!

aapie014 Posted March 16, 2011 Author Share Posted March 16, 2011 thanks ^_^ i am really happy with all the comments of you guys:D to Battle Brother John i used the sicarius helm cut the crest of and turned it around so the ultra logo is on the back side ^_^ hope this helps Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/224910-my-garviel-loken-mini/#findComment-2691040 Share on other sites More sharing options...
EPK Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Actually, as I understand it, the Astartes in that picture is supposed to be Iacton Qruze. You can indeed see the scraped badge of the Luna Wolves on his chest. That would make sense though either way it is very odd that they did an image of Luna Wolf considering the title of it (EDIT - I see that Garro is on the other part "Oath of Moment"). My guess is that the artwork was already produced and they said use it as it was relevant enough. Another thing I don't get it why they used Sons of Horus color schemes for the artwork for the first and third books but Luna Wolves for the second in between - why not use that image on the first? ---------- On topic, the model looks very cool. The freehand is great. Can't wait to see more. White is a tough color to paint from my understanding (mostly from comments I see made by more experienced painters than myself here), and though I have no experience in doing a whole mini in it, I might say your paint seems a little thick in spots. Perhaps more layers of more watered down white. Doing my Deathwing, not a pure white mind you, I have to do a few thin layers.

aapie014 Posted March 16, 2011 Author Share Posted March 16, 2011 to EPK yeah i know the paint is kinda thickish thats because my white is a bit dried up and not as liqued as it should be... for the other luna wolves i am gonna do in the near future i will get some new white to make it more even and such Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/224910-my-garviel-loken-mini/#findComment-2691065 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well now that i have listend to this book i know for sure that the Astartes in that picture is /not/ supposed to be Iacton Qruze. I am pretty sure this picture was /not/ already produced. Seems it was created to depict a scene in the book. Again though, the vast majority would not know what the mark on the bolt gun meant anyway.

Don the Oiler Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 This probably doesn't count for much, but the artist of that cover himself admitted he was inspired by this particular piece of art EDIT: Beautiful mini by the way, the spitting image of the novel descriptions.
