lilloser Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Horus Lupercal Master of Mankind. First Among Equals. Primarch of the Sons of Horus http://i1375.photobucket.com/albums/ag477/sephlion12/DSCF7301_zps1ea4f137.jpg http://i1375.photobucket.com/albums/ag477/sephlion12/DSCF7300_zps79e11def.jpg http://i1375.photobucket.com/albums/ag477/sephlion12/DSCF7299_zps9bcd3672.jpg http://i1375.photobucket.com/albums/ag477/sephlion12/DSCF7305_zps0822472d.jpg "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.

Aqui Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 The marble effect is so realistic! You've painted him quite fast considering Horus hasn't been out that long, but kept a high standard of painting. Very nice work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inquisitor Kravin Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 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.

Ada Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 I clicked on this thread with a sense of anticipation, was not disappointed. Brilliant work, I love the base almost as much as Horus, the stone work is amazing. I like the forgeworld painted version, but this surpasses that. Bravo.

GrandMagnus Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 BRUTAL! But "master of mankind"... I smell heresy! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelPaladin Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Jaw dropping work! That marble is particularly well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnvilofFenris Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 As has been mentioned, the marble is amazing. I really like the purple on the cloak too, it lends extra colour to what could be quite a dark colour scheme without going over the top. Nicely done!

lilloser Posted April 3, 2014 Author Share Posted April 3, 2014 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.

Scribe Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 In the flesh does it look like his right arm is coming out of his ribs? I just cant manage to reconcile the placement of that right arm... FANTASTIC paintjob, best one yet for the Primarchs you have done, but that right arm... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maelarion Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 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 :). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rune_Priest_Rhapsody Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 I am amazed at this model!! The red uplighting on his face in particular makes for a menacing and royal look to him. Perfect!! End of Line Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
