macewind Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Hi guys, My first proper post here so be gentle lol. I built this army about a year ago for a campaign weekend. Trouble is I spent so much time building and converting things that I was only left with a month to paint just over 3000 points worth of models so the paint scheme suffered for it :( Still, there is one or two things im pretty proud of. Horus came out well, even if his paintjob didnt, the terminators and dreadnought are also some of my favourite models, and im really proud of the freehand banner, even if it did take me a full week to get right! Please feel free to ask any questions!

Brother Ambroz Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 You can add more in a reply I believe. I like them all, I wish I had talent like that for creating things without even buying the box. My only gripe is Horus' armament, I know he didn't have a plasma pistol but what was he armed with other than his lighning claw? Some of the early pictures show him with dual LCs but in the newer ones he has his LC and what looks like a mace.

macewind Posted July 21, 2011 Author Share Posted July 21, 2011 Thanks for the comments :) I know he had a set of lightning claws, and I think the mace was a secondary weapon after he gave one to Abaddon, im not sure. For the campaign weekend he had a plasmapistol, lightning claw that re rolled to hit and wound and stormbolter. Thats why my model has the PP. And the rest of the photo's, including some photo's of the campaign battles. http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p65/Macewind/sons%20of%20horus/31052009645.jpg http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p65/Macewind/sons%20of%20horus/12062009665.jpg http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p65/Macewind/sons%20of%20horus/12062009664.jpg http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p65/Macewind/sons%20of%20horus/12062009661.jpg http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p65/Macewind/sons%20of%20horus/27062009673.jpg http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p65/Macewind/sons%20of%20horus/26062009671.jpg http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p65/Macewind/sons%20of%20horus/30062009680-1.jpg http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p65/Macewind/sons%20of%20horus/30062009679.jpg http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p65/Macewind/sons%20of%20horus/10072009701.jpg http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p65/Macewind/sons%20of%20horus/10072009698.jpg http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p65/Macewind/sons%20of%20horus/10072009697.jpg http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p65/Macewind/sons%20of%20horus/10072009693.jpg http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p65/Macewind/sons%20of%20horus/07072009687.jpg http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p65/Macewind/sons%20of%20horus/07072009686.jpg http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p65/Macewind/sons%20of%20horus/31072009776.jpg http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p65/Macewind/sons%20of%20horus/31072009772.jpg http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p65/Macewind/sons%20of%20horus/31072009771.jpg http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p65/Macewind/sons%20of%20horus/31082009870.jpg http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p65/Macewind/sons%20of%20horus/31082009867.jpg http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p65/Macewind/sons%20of%20horus/08092009905.jpg http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p65/Macewind/sons%20of%20horus/08092009904.jpg http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p65/Macewind/campaign%20weekend/12092009942.jpg http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p65/Macewind/campaign%20weekend/12092009952.jpg http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p65/Macewind/campaign%20weekend/12092009953.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/234667-sons-of-horus/#findComment-2825222 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captian Xavier Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Stupid question, but what legs have you used for one of your soldiers with the top knot? (Not Abaddon) It has chainmail on inbetween the legs by the way :lol: They just look darn good so id like to use them myself. Your models look fantastic, well done. You have inspired me to customise some Luna Wolves. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/234667-sons-of-horus/#findComment-2825344 Share on other sites More sharing options...
macewind Posted July 21, 2011 Author Share Posted July 21, 2011 Thanks for the complements, they are actually warriors of chaos fantasy legs. You have to cut the body off them and use a bit of greenstuff to make them fit, but as long as your not doing the full army with them, they are worth the hassel! That model is actually my version of Garviel Lokken. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/234667-sons-of-horus/#findComment-2825383 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captian Xavier Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Oh thanks alot :D Also where did you get those stupidly cool helms for your basic marines?? Only a few have them, for example the basic marine with the small banner on his backpack, but they look to sci-fi to be the chaos helms on the warhammer chaos warriors, they just look brilliant to be honest :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/234667-sons-of-horus/#findComment-2825425 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doghouse Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Fantastic stuff! The vehicle conversions are brilliant but I love the RT dreadnought conversion that's awesome!

Coryphaus 101 Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Awesome. You are an awesome modeler. Also I like how (whether you did it intentionally or not) the jetbikes look like speeders from Star Wars.

macewind Posted July 22, 2011 Author Share Posted July 22, 2011 I was actually going for a kind of chopper style for the jetbikes, and just kinda came out with the star wars look by accident! Thanks for the compliments, that dread is one of my favourite models in my vast collection now! And as for the helms, im not 100% sure now, but they are metal, and I think they come from the old chaos models. I think I got them in a trade with someone, maybe someone else can help identify them?

Warsmith Aznable Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 I really dig that Horus! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/234667-sons-of-horus/#findComment-2826096 Share on other sites More sharing options...
macewind Posted July 22, 2011 Author Share Posted July 22, 2011 Cheers bud, apart from the plasma pistol and paintjob which I will some day change, im very happy with him myself! The sculpting on the breastplate took ages, I hate greenstuff!

Coryphaus 101 Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 The vehicles are awesome. My favourite model is probably Abbadon (I think it's Abbadon, the one after Loken with the spear), he look so cool.
