Atia's Thread (Legions Imperialis: Sons of Horus Kratos pg. 107)

Howdy Guys and Girls :)

After spending some time painting Blood Bowl it looks like I'm back on the Heresy train for now. Well, I'll quote my Battle Bunnies for this one:

"Atia wasn't really seen this week, locked away in a prosperine vault studying Inferno. Yet it's said working on some of the Sons of Magnus has already started ...."

[Arkangilos]

Ooo :D

[Kriegsmacht]

Can't wait

[Dantay VI]

Very nice. A wrecked T-Son Dread...

[Atia]

Very nice. A wrecked T-Son Dread...

Well ..... I already got Russ and his pupies, so I'll probably paint Freki and Geri together with Gyre ;) - but this Conti is alive this time :P

Anyways, little teaser :)

I have a good feeling about this

[Arkangilos]

:o can't wait!

[Dantay VI]

Looks good, but worried it will have a mis-fire. One of the barrels looks mis-aligned..

[Augustus b'Raass]

You're bound to roll a triple JAM on the Sustained Fire dice with that barrel indeed. Oh no, wait, this is 7th, not 3d... ;)

[Atia]

Haha, I totally know what you guys mean ... 

 

The real issue, building both Kheres was really painful this time (guess that's a point for that plastic contemptor). And the FW arms are too pricey to threw them away, so I'll probably have to work with what I have now. 

 

Edit: That said, I may try to "repair" them. Not sure atm. I also have a lot of other stuff to do (f.e. Stormcast Eternals and Gathering Storm stuff for GW ). Busy busy ....

You work for GW?

 

Awesome!!

[Atia]

You work for GW?

 

Awesome!!

Well, it's basically freelancer "work"? Reviews and PR, and I signed two NDA's. Painting and building is as important as a content overview :)

Hehe :)

Atleast it gives me an excuse to work on stuff other than 30k :P

Anyways - what do you guys think about the red/weathering so far?

[Vairocanum]

That's a beautiful shade of red! Definitely looking forward to seeing the rest of the contemptor.

[Arkangilos]

Terrific work! It is great, believe me.

 

Definitely agree with Vairocanum, that is a great shade of red :)

[Atia]

Thanks guys

Some tryfitting for the pose:

I also did my best to fix the cannons, they shouldn't be as .... bendy .... as before

[Col.hertford]

Looking good so far. What colours are you using?

[Atia]

Looking good so far. What colours are you using?

Thanks Colonel

 

It's basically the same technique I used for my Brass Scorpion:

 

- Metallic basecoat (Iron Hands Steel)

- Zenithal highlightes (Ironbreaker and after that Runefang Steel)

- Pre-Shading using thinned down Calth Blue

- Several Layers of Angron Red

- Edges are done with Stormhost Silver - I also did some chipping on the legs and added a bit of weathering

 

The white was done with the help of Duncan (edit: Starts around 11:40)!

 

 

 

 

Hope that helps ^.^

Ushapt-Osiron Nicasekh Khili

Contemptor-Mortis of the Thousand Sons, Guardian of the House of the Jackal

 

 

Ushapt-Osiron Khili was one of the nine Dreadnoughts which slept within the walls of the House of the Jackal during the Burning of Prospero - serving there as ritual protector. In life he had been a commander of one of the Legion's heavy support cabals, grievly wounded during the Turning of the Golden Apostles.

 

During the Battle for Tizca Khili and his dreadnought brethren counter-attacked the Space Wolve's heavy armour units. It's said that his fate is unknown, as he was last seen fighting against [REDACTED BY THE INQUISITION]. 

 

 

 

Note: Kheres-Achea pattern Assaultcannon. Modified for the use of 'Asphyx Shells' - loaded with psycho-reactive toxin of unknown origins.

 

 

 

[Arkangilos]

Wow! That's awesome!!!

[KrautScientist]

Very nice, Atia! Love the metallic red and the base! If I can make one small suggestion, I think the metal of the gunbarrels might be a tad too clean.

 

But anyway, a wonderful model!

Good job holding yourself to those NDA's then, being the queen of rumours and all. Unless... :p

 

That contemptor looks boss. Good job fixing the assault cannons. That's a really cool name, too. :tu:

[betrayer41]

beautiful contemptor and amazing base!

[Atia]

Wow! That's awesome!!!

Thanks :)

Thanks buddy! I actually shaded the gunbarrels a bit more, will snap some pictures later!

Glad you like him! Speaking about bases - here we go (not 100% finished yet).
