Wolf Lord Mjolnir Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 Here is the start of my pre heresy Sons of Horus (XVII company) army, hope you like them. Sorry can't the picks. I have a four month old boy which doesn't give me much time to crack out the lighting and backdrop Captain Trajan Nerva of the XVII company stands ready. http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh132/Mjolnir81/IMAG0055.jpg http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh132/Mjolnir81/IMAG0053.jpg Just need to add a transfer to the left shoulder pad. He was fun to paint and my first finecast based conversion. Samael, envoy of the Primordial Annihilator http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh132/Mjolnir81/IMAG0533.jpg My first sergeant Thanks for the comments. I decided to keep the black crest. http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh132/Mjolnir81/IMAG0540.jpg The gold is brighter than it appears in the photo. Once the army is finished I'll base them all and apply these transfers (the final version will have the XVII company markings.). The actual pdf is of much better quality, this is just a snapshot. http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh132/Mjolnir81/eye6.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoldType Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 Whats your armour recipe? its sweet! really well done however as apoind its a mid heresy army, pre heresy is still non chaos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf Lord Mjolnir Posted December 27, 2011 Author Share Posted December 27, 2011 THat depends on when you think the heresy started. If post Istvaan then this army is pre heresy. It will be designed to be a pre heresy army which with subtle model options can be mid and post heresy too (the addition of a daemon prince being one of them). Nerva's back pole has a human (Commissar) on it but it could just as easily be the body of some breakaway human based society. The fluff says the lunar Wolves\Sons of Horus were recruited from hive gangs and were full of murderers and other such things so I think it some cases they would display rather grisly trophies which got worse as the heresy progressed.

Wolf Lord Mjolnir Posted December 27, 2011 Author Share Posted December 27, 2011 I'm using Vajello German uniform green as kid base, then 50\50 mix with bleached bone and then equal mixes of German uniform \ bleached bone \ skull white for final highlight.

Greyall Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 These are sweet. Nerva's pose makes a beautiful almost-contrast to his topknot and trophy pole. Great work. Keep them coming, Mjolnir. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lachdannan Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 Absolutely fantastic. I never liked the Son's of Horus colours till now. Amazing work, and cool kitbashes. Hope there is more on the horrizon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ah-a-nothepsis Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 These guys look menacing. Pre-heresy Ultramarines are just trying to look like the Luna Wolves, oops, Sons of Horus but will never pull it off. B) Did you put green stuff in the Ultramar gold pieces dangling or just gob extra paint on them to fill 'em in? I love how the Eye of Horus stands out in the armor.

Wolf Lord Mjolnir Posted December 28, 2011 Author Share Posted December 28, 2011 Thanks dude. I did fill in the ultra symbols and totally rebuilt the left shoulder pad with green stuff. I'm finding these guys lots of fun and looking forward to setting up some pics with them fighting against my preheresy Space Wolves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chapter Master Furious Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 WOW! Amazing sons of horus brother! what colours have you used? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrannicide Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Looking forward to seeing more from you, as you've really nailed that sea-green armor color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grimz Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 That is the Sicarius model yes? I've always wanted to use him as a conversion base, but everything looks so close together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
binary Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Looking really good, should be quite menacing on the battlefield when they are all done. Is that the banner piece from Forgeworlds Zhufor on the captain? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redfinger Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Nice green, I think the red would look better though with more contrast, like a dark blue/green color....I think Vallejo makes a color called Deep Sea Blue, I think that would work real nice to adding some depth to that red.

Rafters Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 This is...this is amazing :tu: Great job, 10/10 (and I *never* give 10's) :) BY FAR the best SoH I've ever had the pleasure of seeing. Next, a question: How the heck do you get your gold/bronze?! It's absolutely perfect, I must have this recipe. And, of course, my obligatory complaint: You can't just leave us hanging here. That's just not nice. So,... ...MOAR UPDATES PLZ ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waka Waka Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 I can't really add anything that hasn't been said yet, but beautiful color you've got here. I particularly like the first model; that headswap makes the whole model seem a lot more...deadly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crandall87 Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Wow these are looking awesome so far. I am going to have to try out the armour recipe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Llagos_Tyrant Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 I love what I'm seeing here. They look amazing. Most people seem to be raving about the colours but how on earth did you get that Commissar stuck on his Trophy Pole? I'd love to use it for one of my models.

Unless I'm very much mistaken, it's from the forge world lord zhufor model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
