GrandMagnus Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 I like your dark verdi-gris, I used a very similar colour for mine. But he looks great, Im interested in seeing the rest.

Dange Posted March 31, 2013 Author Share Posted March 31, 2013 Thanks for the feedback he's the first of many .should have another one finished today it was a hard decision dark or light green :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/273513-sons-of-horus/#findComment-3339622 Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrandMagnus Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Personally I chose dark green for mine because of the quote "...the Sons of Horus descended deeper into the dark heart of Chtonia". It gives a more traitor feel than the ocean green. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/273513-sons-of-horus/#findComment-3339688 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schultzhoffen Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 I like the darker green. I think he looks good. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/273513-sons-of-horus/#findComment-3339990 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schultzhoffen Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Great work. Keep it going, I'd love to see a whole army of these guys. One request: please post larger pictures (they're pretty small even when clicked upon - admittedly it may be my aging eyes!).

Dark Apostle Thirst Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 "Oh, look. Sons of Horus. They're always cool." "..."

Dosjetka Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 They're lovely. Any chance you'd be willing to share the recipe for these chaps? Or maybe, if I'm lucky, a step-by-step tutorial (with or without pictures)? That would be, as ADB would say, rad. Cheers, Ludovic EDIT: :cuss I thought that my choice was set with the Night Lords, but now I've seen these... Argh! Damned choices!

Captain Semper Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 I really like your work Dange! These are fantastic SoHs - everything works: from the shade of green, the measured battle damage and all the little details with the black sholuder pad and the hazard stripes... :tu: What's the grand plan? will you work out a small force?

Dange Posted April 15, 2013 Author Share Posted April 15, 2013 Thanks folks for the feed back. I'm hoping to do as many as my wallet will allow lol.:) no want to do a company. I am really enjoying painting these marines not only am I painting all of them different within reason ;) I'm painting not to finish a squad like I have done in the past the reason is more fun and I haven't restarted one in anger yet so something is going right .but thank you all .your comments are gratefully received :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/273513-sons-of-horus/#findComment-3350244 Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrandMagnus Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Thats the good thing about FW: its expensive and few minis, but that just makes you focus SO MUCH MORE on the painting haha. More than regular GW, at least in my humble opinion. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/273513-sons-of-horus/#findComment-3350295 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urauloth Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 That is a really, really nice shade of sea-green. Liking the edge highlights and weathering, too. I hope you plan to do more topknots, they really add character.
