"You are like a son and together we have all but conquered the galaxy. Now the time has come for me to retire to Terra. My work as a soldier is done and now passes to you for I have great tasks to perform in my earthly sanctum. I name you Warmaster and from this day forth all of my armies and generals shall take orders from you as if the words cam from mine own mouth. But words of caution I have for you for your brother Primarchs are strong of will, of though and of action. Do not seek to change them, but use their particular strengths well. You have much work to do for there are still many words to liberate, many peoples to rescue. My trust is with you. Hail Horus! Hail the Warmaster!"
 
The Emperor of Mankind
 
The final photos of Horus, Warmaster of the Imperium. There is a full write up of the miniature here as well as a ton more pictures and inspiration file.
 
You can also see a new conversion of Horus Lupecal on my website. A painted version will be available soon and of course will be posted here.

Of the primeval Priests assum'd power,


When Eternals spurn'd back his religion;

And gave him a place in the north,

Obscure, shadowy, void, solitary.

Eternals I hear your call gladly,

Dictate swift winged words, & fear not

To unfold your dark visions of torment.

 

The First Book Of Urizen, William Blake.


 




 

 

I painted Aurelian's face as if it were underlit by his suit. This gives the skin a golden tone before I start painting the Scripture, but also halos the Primarchs head quite nicely. I decided to go for yellow over a more contrasting blue to represent fire (Lorgar's head is a bright yellow, the under light is organge, his armour is red and the base is gret/ black). I also had Willaim Blake's Book of Urizen plates in my head and I couldn't escape trying to represent the damnation of the character through the painting. 

 

 

For more pics, analaysis and a little bit of back story check out the blog. There are also a few W.I.P's on the facebook page

 

Otherwise enjoy the pictures.

@ The Chaplain - Gray does seem to be the consensus. I'll have to cheat again to inject interest. 

 

@ Jolemai - No, he's the only Primarch I haven't painted. I've been too intimidated by the model to start - well until recently. 

 

@ Max Power - cheers dude, this is a wonderful model. Really nice to paint. 

 

 

Time for a big blob of legionaires! 
 
Luna Wolves Legion, Tenth Company, Fourth Cohort
Fourth cohort, here depicted at the Fall of Balan adopt the unusual practice of swapping their legionary symbol onto the right pauldron. This tradition follows on from their stalwart captain, Loken who wears a studded pad on the left to better deflect small arms fire. This practice can be seen to espouse the wider philosophy of the legion; of unsentimental warfare and savage battle acuity.

Thank you Fenris Kid and Darth Potato (love the monikers - where the hell did darth potato come from?).

 

 

 
The Warmaster's Own

"The Warmaster's Own" Justaerin Terminators, first company, Sons of Horus
[Pict-capture Istvaan V Massacare]
 
The unbroken point of the spear, the Justaerin were the vaunted first of Horus' Legion. The Warmaster's Own has the honour of accompanying the higher echelons of the Legionary command staff to battle, gaining their name by the amount of teleport assaults performed alongside Horus. 
 
The squad displays a wide array of weaponry preferring tactical flexibility to battle field specialization. Equally adept at engaging mass infantry to dense armoured formations, The Warmaster's Own have reeved a bloody path through the Great Crusade and have taken their dark legacy into the Heresy with gusto. 
 
Three members of the The Warmaster's Own survived Terra and formed the core bodyguard of Abaddon post heresy. Known for their loyalty, the remaining members would be deceived by more ambitious Traitor Legionaries and put to the Sword M.33.

P.S There's a Valdor conversion on my Facebook & blog page - just thought I'd throw that in the mix.

The way you do OSL is absolutely the best I have ever seen! Great work! And the way you do Black Armour is really good as well! In fact, the way you do everything is really good! :D

 

One day, I hope to have painting skills as good as yours! ;)

 

I look forward to seeing more of your work!

Cheers Captain Valefor. I feel exactly as you do when I view other people's work - Georc, The Yellow One, Camelson. There's always more to learn as long as your willing to learn it.

 

 

 
 

Revered Ancient Atronius

 
 
 
Ancient Atronius, Dreadnought of the Emrperor's Children Legion 
[Pict-capture Vanhel's Gorge, Principad campaign]
 
A Former Champion of the 8th Millenial, Atronius died at Istvann V by the hands of the Iron warriors Legion. Atronius was born on Terra and was one of the very few Emperor's Children to be united with Fulgrim at the outset of the Great Crusade. The Terran Aquila adorns Ancient Atronius' armour, carrying the light of the Imperial Truth and the Might of Terra to the stars.

More Photos

Love that SoH sea green, but even better are the two faces of the legion. The first, the noble Luna Wolf Loken and the second the ugly face of hatred that belongs to the Sons of Horus and Abaddon. Little things like the different shades of the combatants skin, Lokens teeth vs Abaddons fangs all add up to a beautifully painted diorama. Amazing work brother.

The characters are amazing, the shading is superb, I particularly like the Loken and Ferrus Manus. However I can't help but be drawn to the dead legionaries on the Primarch's bases as essentially bland splotches of color that pull my eye from the awesome detail of the model above. Squad markings, kill markings, scrollwork, little details like that would help break up the patches of black and purple and blend in better with the detail of the Primarchs IMO.

 

Similarly the Luna Wolves seem a bit bland as well, the legion symbol on their shoulder pads is excellent but the left pads are simply blank. I don't mean to criticize what are simply amazing paint jobs, far beyond anything I could hope to do, it's just what is not painted that stands out to me, if that makes sense.
