These models are all stunning. Sanguinus looks awesome. I can actually picture the World Eater saying that to his squad in the aftermath of Istvaan. Love it. You should've taken a picture of Sanguinus' opponent though (on the tabletop), would've been cool. :P

This time its not just a random mini, its the start of an army. I'm going for a post Ullanor - early Heresy Sons of Horus force this time. Still pondering whether i should use codex SW or codex CSM for them. I'm leaning towards the Wolves mainly because they are still very close to Legion organisation and i get to use Imperial tech like Land Speeders and sane Dreadnoughts, stearing well clear of anything clearly wolfy (like Thunderwolves and stuff).

 

Cheers!

The "green" (that damn colour doesnt deserve a name, i swear GW chose a non-colour from the warp for the Sons of Horus) is a 50/50 mix of Vallejo USMC tank crew from the Panzer Aces range and Astronomican Grey, adding further AG for highlights until you have pure AG.

Thanks man! Thats really gonna help my mission to make my Sons of Horus army a reality ;)

 

Lupercal! (and cheers!)

Tell us more, brother..what are you planning to do? :)

A new GT army? An entire company? ( the tenth ? )

The whole legion?? :)

 

If you allow me Warmaster, use SW codex for this project..it is better than CSM :RTBBB:

 

I can't wait for more SoH!!

 

Lupercal!!!

Actually Darth, since you asked...

 

Finished a second Sons of Horus marine, along with a quick tutorial on how i painted him!

 

1) Basecoat the mini with chaos black, I have used the Chaos Black Spray paint but I'm sure the potted paint will work just as well. I didn't take a picture of this stage, everyone knows how to do it.

 

2) A coat of Adeptus Battlegrey is given to all armour areas.

3) A 50/50 mix of Vallejo USMC Tank Crew (from the Panzer Aces range) and Astronomican Grey is painted over the armour.A couple of thin coats should be enough.

4) Wash the recesses where the armour plates meet with Badab Black and paint any cabling and details (studs, eye lenses etc) Chaos Black.Allow the wash to dry.

5) Using the above mix, paint over any areas that were covered by the wash but shouldn't have.Be careful to leave the previous washed layers showing in the recesses.

6) Hightlight the armour with a 30/70 mix of USMC Tank Crew and Astronomican Grey.

7) Fine highlights are added to the edges of the armour plates using pure Astronomican Grey.

8) Metallic areas are painted Chainmail, washed with Badab Black and then highlighted with Chainmail.

9) Any gold areas are painted Dwarf Bronze.

10) Details:

 

Gold areas are painted over with Vallejo Brass, washed with Devlan Mud and highlighted with 50/50 Vallejo Brass and Mithril Silver.

The eyes are first painted Mechrite Red and then highlighted with Blood Red, Iyanden Darksun and finally Skull White.

The Eye of Horus is given a couple of thin coats of Iyanden Darksun, highlighted with 30/70 Iyanden Darksun and White and then the pupil is added with Chaos Black.

The circle around it and the seal of the Oath of Moment (Purity Seal) are painted Mechrite Red and highlighted Blood Red.

The Oath of Moment itself is painted Scorched Brown and then highlighted with Snakebite leather, Dheneb Stone and Skull White, leaving a little of the previous stage showing every time.

Battle damage is painted on with Chaos black and little dots/lines of Astronomican Grey are painted under it for highlights.

The Bolter's metal parts were painted like the other metal areas and the casing was highlighted with Adeptus Battlegrey and Codex Grey.

11) Paint the base according to your liking and your Sons of Horus marine is ready to fight for the Warmaster!

Cheers! :)

Thank you much for the tutorial! I really like your painting style. Harsh and striking in appropriate spaces, and smooth and blended in other respective areas.

 

Do you plan on bringing any of the Sons of Horus' characters from the HH series to life?

 

Either way, I look forward to more of the Warmaster's own from you.
