esinhorn Posted July 22, 2011 Author Share Posted July 22, 2011 I finished up the Apothecary,I really like him he came together well. I used my standard true sons head(chaos lord) I bought a bunch of termie lord heads to use as unhelmeted members so they all look like Horus. http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f295/wilis516/001-65.jpg http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f295/wilis516/003-60.jpg http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f295/wilis516/002-65.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/233304-sons-of-horus-army/page/2/#findComment-2826673 Share on other sites More sharing options...

esinhorn Posted July 23, 2011 Author Share Posted July 23, 2011 Funny you should ask that I just bought a few bits for just that purpose(Termie Mace,Chestplate with Eye) but Horus is a ways ways off.

Commander S. Caesare Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 Uh, question. Â Why are they in the colours of Abaddon's Black Legion? If it's Sons of Horus, would it not be in the white/green/gold livery? Or in Luna Wolves livery, the white (or is it grey?) and brass colours? Â Still very nice paintwork. Hope u get to makin' the termies. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/233304-sons-of-horus-army/page/2/#findComment-2827067 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vissah Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 The black ones are members of the First Company of the Sons of Horus. The First Company wore black instead of the white and later green that the rest of the legion wore.

esinhorn Posted July 24, 2011 Author Share Posted July 24, 2011 A few of you sent me messages on how I painted my Sons of Horus. Today I give you the recipe. You will need the following paints From Vallejo Panzer Aces line: Africa Korps Tank Crew(336),Highlight Russ.I Tkcr(329) From Citadel: Chaos Black,Boltgun Metal,Scab Red,Blood Red,Scorched Brown,Thrakka Green,Badab Black,Devlin Mud,Asurman Blue From Tamiya: Clear Red Step one give a good solid base coat with Afirca Korps be sure to thin the Vallejo paint well they tend to be thicker than GW in my experience  http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f295/wilis516/001-66.jpg   Step two mix equal parts Thraka Green,Delvin Mud,Badab Black,Asurman Blue and water for a wash that you will coat the model with. Be sure the wash in concentrated more in the cracks and not on the flat plates on his armor  http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f295/wilis516/002-66.jpg  Step three use a 50/50 mix of Africa Korps and Russian Highlight use this mix to paint your model carefully leaving the base color at the cracks. Take your time and use thinner paint and more layers to get a good solid finish Also paint your blacks and reds at this time so you can use the green mix to fix mistakes Anything you want as a red gemstone like I am doing on the chest and knees paint Blood Red over the Scab red.  http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f295/wilis516/003-61.jpg  Step four paint your metallics with Boltgun Metal and coat the Red gemstones with Tamiya Clear Red. Paint or decal your unit markings and weapon of choice and you are good to go  http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f295/wilis516/004-55.jpg  Step five(optional)use just the Russian Highlight if you want to paint hard edge highlights Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/233304-sons-of-horus-army/page/2/#findComment-2827861 Share on other sites More sharing options...

esinhorn Posted July 30, 2011 Author Share Posted July 30, 2011 The latest and greatest the Dreadnought Bakhart He is well on his way,I was able to sucessfully scuplt a skinned face for the torso like the picture. Did a basecoat of Tamiya Hull Red for the primer layer and very lightly sponged on masking fluid. I then airbrushed him a touch darker than the troops but it will match the tanks when I do them. http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f295/wilis516/001-69.jpg http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f295/wilis516/002-68.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/233304-sons-of-horus-army/page/2/#findComment-2833572 Share on other sites More sharing options...
esinhorn Posted July 30, 2011 Author Share Posted July 30, 2011 The paintjob is finished except for the head. I have highlighted the damaged chips finished the iconography. I added VIXI on his other knee which is an ancient Roman prased meaning "I Lived" pastense. I felt perfect for a Dreadnought. Which is why 17 is an unlucky number in Italy I am using glosscote for a gloss/satin varnish that I can start using the oil paints on. http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f295/wilis516/003-63.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/233304-sons-of-horus-army/page/2/#findComment-2833926 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Master of fact Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Dreadnought looks great apart from he looks like he is off balance trying to steady himself with arms out to the side.
