"And so I shall deal with all Tyrants and Deceivers..."

 

It's easy (well, easier) to paint these model as the sculpt is so superb. The emotion is already there, the movement and the character is developed. All the artist has to do is stay faithful to sculpt and you cannot go wrong. Horus was incredibly pleasurable to paint as I started re-living parts of the 40K history. I remembered the first time I learned of the Heresy and the long shadow this Primarch cast over the universe. Very few models have such an evocative history.

 

I haven't felt this intimidated by a model since Angron was released. I needed to jump on the initial upsurge of enthusiasm and just paint him without fear. I hope you like the result. 

 

If you would like to see more photos and a little run through of the colour combination I used please check out my blog and for WIP work check out the facebook page.

I'd love to commission you but daren't even contemplate the cost. That miniature is superb. As others ahve said the marble looks fantastic. My favourite bit is the NMM on the front of the torso that really draws the eye to his chest and head.

Cheers guys! If you'd like to see a white one he's up on my Facebook wall (link in original post). I will post up here but right now I need to close my eyes and lie down!

 

Oh and there's a reason why the cloak is purple. Anyone want to take a stab at it?

 

Cheers again guys.

Well purple was traditionally the colour of kings and royalty (and wealth in general).  Purple is a remarkably rare colour in nature, hence why purple pigment was expensive in the old days.

 

Also, fantastic painting!  I like the face, he definitely looks like all is not right up in his head :).
