I’ve been fortunate enough to have been commissioned to create several Astartes forces and I hope to collect all 18 with accompanying characters and auxiliary forces. Instead of creating a new plog for each individual piece I will have this one thread and keep it updated with completed images. - But how to go about displaying such a vast array of miniatures neatly in one thread? I’ve decided to have an index (above) and have a couple of empty slots below and hyperlink individual posts of note to the above. I will also provide links to my blogsite (I do so not to spam the forum: my photobucket accounts tend to attract a lot of attention expending my bandwidth allocation with alarming speed). Over the coming days I will be updating this page with my previous work and adding all relevant links. The Architects of Betrayal. Erebus and Kor Phaeron http://i747.photobucket.com/albums/xx116/lillegend2014/DSCF6361_zps1eda474c.jpg http://i747.photobucket.com/albums/xx116/lillegend2014/DSCF6364_zps5468ad33.jpg http://i747.photobucket.com/albums/xx116/lillegend2014/DSCF6370_zps423c9a2a.jpg http://i747.photobucket.com/albums/xx116/lillegend2014/DSCF6365_zps52a57959.jpg It seemed apt tot start the blog with the two instigators of the treachery. I think this release has been a little overshadowed by the release of Ferrus Manus at Games Day. Personally, I was looking forward to painting these miniatures more. Whereas Ferrus represents the fulfillment of the martial/ ideological ideal of humanity as envisaged by the Emperor, Erebus and especially Kor Phaeron, represent humanities frailty. Frailty, greed, lust and decrepitude are much more interesting subjects than perfection (fans of Fulgrim may disagree). Does anyone else think that Kor Phaeron looks like Prince Phillip? I'd love to know the kind of visual ques Edgar Skormorowski used to create this model. Although you cannot see this from the photos, the underside of the gauntlets have Kor Phaeron's bare hands hard wired into the suit. You can also see the characters back legs from behind poking out from this false terminator suit. I glued the head a little father back in the suit to reinforce the unease of the character. Curiously, the white dwarf preview in white dwarf seems to be a different head from the one put into general release. I wonder if there is a story there?

Olis Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Interesting idea, brother. Ambitious too. This should be good. ;) Does anyone else think that Kor Phaeron looks like Prince Phillip? Yes.

The_Chaplain Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 You've got some brass ones if you're going to be tackling such an ambitious project- but if they are all painted to the level of your Erebus and kor phaeron? Well, be prepared for a lot of praise! I personally love Erebus' sculpt, just for all he winged skeletons it has, which I got to gawk at in all their glory on your blog using the zoom on my phone; so thanks for posting as many angle shots as you did (forge worlds habit of only taking pictures of certain angles bugs me) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/283119-the-horus-heresy-by-lillegend-studio/#findComment-3518784 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kierdale Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Very nice work indeed. I'm glad you mentioned Kor Phaeron's arms being visible. I hadn't noticed before but now you mention it I can juuust see them. That's a nice bit of detail. Great painting too.

lilloser Posted November 22, 2013 Author Share Posted November 22, 2013 Thanks so much for the feedback guys! This project log is quite ambitious but what's the point in aiming low? Well, what shall we have for the second installment? How about the first of the fallen primarchs? The Gorgon, Ferrus Manus, Martyred Father of the X legion, Iron Hands http://i747.photobucket.com/albums/xx116/lillegend2014/DSCF6343_zpsa9822453.jpg http://i747.photobucket.com/albums/xx116/lillegend2014/DSCF6345_zpsbfe714fa.jpg http://i747.photobucket.com/albums/xx116/lillegend2014/585b835a2e_zpsb53331c4.jpg http://i747.photobucket.com/albums/xx116/lillegend2014/DSCF6350_zps1fb4ee01.jpg http://i747.photobucket.com/albums/xx116/lillegend2014/DSCF6350_zps1fb4ee01.jpg This was a beautiful model to paint. The final photos for the Iron Hands Legion Primarch, Ferrus Manus. This is my first Primarch project and I'm relieved to have one under my belt. I own Angron and Fulgrim but indecision has forced me to put off the projects to later dates. Still wrapped up in the enthusiasm of Games Day I broke the seal and put primer to resin before I could let doubts settle. I've written up a reflection on the piece for the blog. I hope you enjoy the pictures and any feedback would be warmly received (unless your a dick about it...)

deathspectersgt7 Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Awesome Erebus looks great. But The Gorgon is my favorite so far.

Rune_Priest_Rhapsody Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Wow!! I would have assumed you for one of the FW studio painters!! Very nice work. When you say "first of the fallen Primarchs", it made me think "fallen to chaos".

lilloser Posted November 29, 2013 Author Share Posted November 29, 2013 Cheers guys! I'm thrilled you like what has been displayed so far. The Phoenician Fulgrim, Primarch of the Emperor's Children, The Perfect Son. http://i1280.photobucket.com/albums/a495/Lilloser2014/DSCF6522_zps2e0768bb.jpg http://i1280.photobucket.com/albums/a495/Lilloser2014/DSCF6519_zpse5fe8edd.jpg “I have no faith in human perfectibility. I think that human exertion will have no appreciable effect upon humanity. Man is now only more active - not more happy - nor more wise, than he was 60,000 years ago.” Intimations on Perfection, unpublished treatise. Author Unknown. Fulgrim's character is one of intense darkness and light. On the one hand he is the most idealistic (although Lorgar may disagree) of the Emperor's sons, striving for the perfection he believes humanity is capable of. His legion bore that responsibility until its disintegration, where each soldier chose what his personal ideal of perfection would be rather than the prescribed divinity of the Emperor. I wanted to reflect this duality in the painting and modeling of the miniature. I painted Frulgrim in pristine armour, untroubled by the dirt and battle around him. He is above such things. The gold is a good foil to the purple armour. I decicded to paint the inside of Fulgrims cloak cream to further highlight the rich purple of the Emperor's Chidlren Livery. I changed Fulgrim's position of the base, putting him in a more central position. I couldn't imagine Fulgrim being content on the periphery of any scene, he dominates the centre stage.

facmanpob Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 This is going to sound like a weird comment but I think you've done his tongue really well, although surely if any Primarch was going to have "Colgate-shiny" teeth it would be Fulgrim! Really well painted, and the full diorama with Ferrus on your blog looks fabulous!

lilloser Posted December 2, 2013 Author Share Posted December 2, 2013 Cheers for the feedback guys. I really appreciate the comments. @facmanpob - that has to be the most unusual compliment I have had - thank you so much! Ok, after getting some critical feedback on Fulgrim I decided to re-shoot the miniature. The original photo's have a weird unfocussed, greeny tint to the skin tone which doesn't match the real life equivalent. So here are the second set of photographs. Let me know what you think. http://i1280.photobucket.com/albums/a495/Lilloser2014/DSCF6572_zps38b8c7f6.jpg http://i1280.photobucket.com/albums/a495/Lilloser2014/DSCF6571_zpsf4473ebc.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/283119-the-horus-heresy-by-lillegend-studio/#findComment-3535426 Share on other sites More sharing options...

facmanpob Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 @facmanpob - that has to be the most unusual compliment I have had - thank you so much!Hehe! It's just that everyone always looks at the freehand and scrollwork and armour and weathering etc etc.... but sometimes its the really little things that set something apart, things that you don't notice because they are so normal and everyday (like a mouth). There was a lot of griping about Fulgrim's mouth when the model came out and it just struck me that you'd done a really good job on it! The rest of the painting is stunning of course Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/283119-the-horus-heresy-by-lillegend-studio/#findComment-3535492 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagicMan Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 The second set of pictures really do the paint-job justice. I love him! He looks brilliant, and he has a sort of manic/corrupt look to him that i think is fantastic. Probably the best rendition of Fulgrim i've seen so far.

lilloser Posted December 5, 2013 Author Share Posted December 5, 2013 Wow - I'm stunned. Thanks so much for the feedback guys. I really feel that you have understood what I've tried to achieve with Fulgrim. Thank you so much again - reading Lookin awesome! Thank you. @facmanpob - that has to be the most unusual compliment I have had - thank you so much!Hehe!

The rest of the painting is stunning of course Haha, thanks man. I often wonder whether I should be putting in the effort on small details like this, but this recognition makes it worth while. The second set of pictures really do the paint-job justice. I love him! He looks brilliant, and he has a sort of manic/corrupt look to him that i think is fantastic. Probably the best rendition of Fulgrim i've seen so far. Thank you very much. There are a few really good versions of Fulgrim floating around - I've linked the inspiration for the sword on my blog and the Brush brothers have just produced something quite special. Not a real fan of the Fulgrim model but yours, is, awesome! Also Ferrus is incredible. Thank you very much. I love this Fulgrim model and it's a shame that the sculpt hasn't been as universally accepted as Angron or Ferrus. I cannot wait to get my hands on Lorgar. I think his eyes tell you the whole story, like a vampire, a beautiful elegant face with evil eyes that betray the madness that lies behind the mask. Excellent work mate Quoted for truth, superbly painted mini that oozes a subtle madness. Thank you! Cheers for the positive comments guys. The Phoenix & The Gorgon. Ferrus Manus and Fulgrim Diorama. http://i1280.photobucket.com/albums/a495/Lilloser2014/DSCF6504_zps07c56767.jpg http://i1280.photobucket.com/albums/a495/Lilloser2014/DSCF6513_zps4b6a453e.jpg http://i1280.photobucket.com/albums/a495/Lilloser2014/DSCF6508_zps5ddcab6e.jpg “I incline to Cain's heresy," he used to say quaintly: "I let my brother go to the devil in his own way.” Blog Entry (with more photo's) Facebook links Phew...what a piece. This felt more like a battle than a painting exercise. This was a difficult piece to attempt - not only are both miniatures exceptionally detailed but they can act as centerpieces all by themselves. I couldn't shake the idea that both Ferrus and Fulgrim were miniature suns exerting their individual gravity on the scene. The space marines littering the base are reduced to spectators (space particles if I were to belabour the metaphor) destroyed by the two titans dueling for the fate of Mankind's future. I have another Primarch to paint by the end of the year. I have re-created one of my previous conversions and will be painting the First Child of the Emperor. Cheerio!
