residual-selfimage Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 http://i1300.photobucket.com/albums/ag82/Maarten_Van_Waesberge/Warhammer/Luna%20Wolves/LunaWolvesforumlogo_zps67fca033.jpg :: IntroSo Luna Wolves...When I read "Horus Rising" I was immediately sold on the idea of painting myself up a Luna Wolves army. The thing is that I read "Horus Rising" about 8 years ago, so my Luna Wolves would be my first serious 40K army.I started scouring the internet for bits of information about Pre-Heresy armour, weapons & vehicles. Bought myself a bunch of plasticard and started converting. When I hit 3000 pnts Forge World released the first Legion Armour sets and soon after that the first Horus Heresy books.I commited wallet-cide and now I'm hitting the 10K mark, army-size wise...To me this is more than just my army, but it also shows how I progressed as a painted, when you see the pictures you'll see what I mean. I'll keep on adding more and more units as I finish them. I've got enough unpainted models piled up, so stay tuned! ANyways, I hope you like what I've painted/converted up so far, and C&C is always:: Legion ListAssambled - WIP - FinishedHQ Horus Lupercal Garviel Loken Ezekyle Abaddon Librarian in Terminator armour Librarian in Power armour Chaplain in Power armour Legion Centurion in Power Armour Legion Centurion in Cataphractii armour Legion Centurion in Artificer Armour Troops Locasta MK4 Tactical Squad - 20/20 marines Pithraes MK1 Tactical Squad - 10/20 marines Hellebore MK3Tactical Squad - 10/20 marines Unnamed Tactical Squad - 15/20 marines Unnamed Tactical squad - 10/20 marines Legion Reconnaissance squad - 5/5 marines Legion Deimos Rhino - 3/3 Rhinos Legion Drop Pod - 6/6 Droppods Elites Cataphractii Terminator squad - 5/10 marines Tartaros Terminator squad - 5/10 marines Justaerin Terminator squad - 10/10 marines Legacy Terminator squad - 10/10 marines Contemptor Dreadnought - 3/3 dreadnoughts Reaver Squad - 10/10 marines Legion rapier Destroyer Battery - 3/3 Rapiers Legion rapier Graviton Cannons - 3/3 Rapiers Legion Destroyer Squad with jump packs - 5/5 marines Legion Apothecaries - 2/2 marines Fast Attack Assault Marines MK 4 Squad - 10/10 marines Assault Marines MK 2 Squad - 10/10 marines Jetbike Scimitar - 3/3 jetbikes - Link to WIP forum post Storm Eagle Storm Talon Outrider MK4 bike squad - 6/6 marines Bike squad - 18/18 marines Attack bikes - 5/5 marines Heavy Support Legion Land Raider MKIIB - 2/2 Land Raiders Legion Land Raider Proteus 1/1 Land Raiders Legion Deimos pattern Predator - 1/1 Predatos Legion Legacy Predator - 2/2 Predators Legion MK3 Autocannon Heavy support squad - 5/5 marines Legion MK4 Lascannon Heavy support squad - 5/5 marines Legion MK4 Heavy Bolter Heavy support squad - 5/5 marines Lords of War Legion Glaive - Link to WIP Forum post Allies Legion Mortis Warhound Titan Legion Mortis Thallax Cohort - 9/9 Thallax House Devine Knight Paladin - 3/3 Knights House Devine Knight Errant - 1/1 Knights :: PicturesI will add some better pics of individual units soon, but here is the complete army, so you get the idea http://i1300.photobucket.com/albums/ag82/Maarten_Van_Waesberge/Warhammer/Luna%20Wolves/IMG_4332_zpsd736783b.jpgThis is the 'entire' army. Took 2 Realm of Battle boards to fit everything on it, with little room to spare. The Warhound Titan is painted up in Legio Mortis colours, whom were allied to the Luna Wolves, and will eventually be done http://i1300.photobucket.com/albums/ag82/Maarten_Van_Waesberge/Warhammer/Luna%20Wolves/IMG_4319_zpsafc076c4.jpgThe left plate contains most power armour. In the back you can see 2 converted preds and the Forge World Deimos one. The assault marines sport the old RT backpacks, which are OOP now. I've got 10 MK2 assault marines ready to get painted up.http://i1300.photobucket.com/albums/ag82/Maarten_Van_Waesberge/Warhammer/Luna%20Wolves/IMG_4320_zpsf6ed46b8.jpgAbaddon and 20 Terminators. As you can see the bikes and the right land Raider are far from finished, as are the terminators in the back... but we are getting there... Also not the arm-less Contemptor hiding in the back, which will also be finished soon...ish...http://i1300.photobucket.com/albums/ag82/Maarten_Van_Waesberge/Warhammer/Luna%20Wolves/IMG_4321_zps57e9e7b9.jpgClose-up of the assault marines. A 10-man squad with 2 flamers a fist and a melta bomb. There models wobble like hell, but were a joy to paint!On the fist of the sergeant (which is a bit blurry) I started experimenting with NMM.http://i1300.photobucket.com/albums/ag82/Maarten_Van_Waesberge/Warhammer/Luna%20Wolves/IMG_4322_zps5a2c1fe6.jpgMore NMM on the trims of the MK3 marines. The difference in predators is insane... The pred in the back I finished about 6-7 years ago, the Deimos one is from 2 years ago.http://i1300.photobucket.com/albums/ag82/Maarten_Van_Waesberge/Warhammer/Luna%20Wolves/IMG_4323_zpsa46e2956.jpgWho doesn't love Contemptors? The right one is still WIP, and forgot his base http://i1300.photobucket.com/albums/ag82/Maarten_Van_Waesberge/Warhammer/Luna%20Wolves/IMG_4324_zps9a4192c1.jpgI was bored and converted myself some MK1 marines... There be a lot of greenstuff underneith the paint The still need weathering though...Funny how the MK4 marines run around with a banner with a MK4 marine on it.... ah well!http://i1300.photobucket.com/albums/ag82/Maarten_Van_Waesberge/Warhammer/Luna%20Wolves/IMG_4325_zpsaa4613e5.jpgLoken and some other marines. I'll upload some better pics of Loken soon, as this one does him very little justics. The captain and banner bearer are still WIP (starting to see a pattern here?) I got rid of most of the SoH stuff on his armour and replaced it with Luna Wolves iconography.http://i1300.photobucket.com/albums/ag82/Maarten_Van_Waesberge/Warhammer/Luna%20Wolves/IMG_4326_zps284ed2ab.jpgYes! Scimitar jetbikes!! How AWESOME are these models? I've got these laying on the painting table atm, they are a joy to paint!http://i1300.photobucket.com/albums/ag82/Maarten_Van_Waesberge/Warhammer/Luna%20Wolves/IMG_4328_zpsf7eccde9.jpgEvery marine force needs bikes... lots of bikes! I've got some of the new FW bikes and a load of older GW ones... These are still waiting to get finished, but I'm getting there... eventually!http://i1300.photobucket.com/albums/ag82/Maarten_Van_Waesberge/Warhammer/Luna%20Wolves/IMG_4329_zpsfb3699ec.jpgAbby and his terminators! I did some minor conversions to Abby so I can use him in regular 40K. He now sports 2 sets of claws and added the Luna Wolves icons. Note that the terminators on the left are the official FW ones, though the ones on the right are home-brewn... I converted them with superglue, lots of greenstuff and a box of cornflakes The did the trick until FW proved me wrong...http://i1300.photobucket.com/albums/ag82/Maarten_Van_Waesberge/Warhammer/Luna%20Wolves/IMG_4331_zps27f59d1c.jpgWho doesn't need some air-support?The Storm Eagle is almost done, but man... was a to assemble!http://i1300.photobucket.com/albums/ag82/Maarten_Van_Waesberge/Warhammer/Luna%20Wolves/IMG_4327_zps218b0897.jpgWarhound Sothis of Legio Mortis! And what an awesome model it is!In front of the rhino my legacy marines... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
