Here is the latest completion, another Castellax, along with a shot of the unit. I really want to fit the Iron Warriors Contemptor into the list, so I will be making some adjustments. Narik only gets two automata, the foot tactical squad loses 5 marines and the apothecary, and gains a Vexilla. That will allow a Contemptor with a Kheres, DCCW, and TL Boltgun.

Mechanized Tactical Squad. The only upgrade is Melta bombs on the Sergeant. This unit will have a Rhino as a dedicated transport.

Every time, when I open this topic, I expect buildings in heresy style...

 

 

Very nice hazard stripes!

[Sigismund's Ghost]

Thanks! I never thought of heresy style buildings, maybe I should make one to match the title. Here is the latest item off the workbench.

Sicaran Venator.

I don't know what I envy more - your skills at paint or your ability to afford all this lovely FW resin-crack!

 

 And you certainly do them justice: which begs me to ask which Legion could be next? Assuming that there will be a next, of course.

 

I know you must be pig-sick of explaining how you do bases by now, so I'll be brief - the plasticard you use; is that ready-scored into the tile pattern or is it your own work that does that? If bought, please tell me from where!

 

 Do keep it up, though, these are marvellous.....

[Sigismund's Ghost]

Paladin,

 

Thanks for the kind words. I shot you a PM with the details. Anyone else interested in the process, follow the link below.

Edit: There probably won't be another legion until book 6 drops. I may start Solar Auxillia in the meantime.

I just completed a tactical squad for my Iron Warriors using the new BaC set. Here is a comparison between that, and the original Forgeworld miniature. I think the GW model looks a little thicker, but not so much that it detracts from the cohesiveness of the army.

Tactical squad for my Iron Warriors using the new BaC set. The Sergeant is a conversion using FW parts, and the Apothecary is stock FW.

Are your vehicle decals from a new set of decals by FW? They have depth to them unlike all predecessors. It adds a significant boost in realism.

[Sigismund's Ghost]

Yes, they are from Forgeworld's Iron Warriors Transfer Sheet. They are really top notch, as are all of their new transfer sheets.

[Sigismund's Ghost]

Sigismund and his Honor Guard. My fists have been done for awhile, I finally got around to painting him.

Congratulations is in order this is the first time I have officially run out of likes and I did it on this thread!

 

my hat is off to you sir! 

[Sigismund's Ghost]

Well, thanks for that! I'm glad you enjoyed the thread.

[Sigismund's Ghost]

These are the six Horus Heresy armies I have completed thus far. All are 2000 points.

I abso-blimmin-lutely adore your armies! You really have done great and it clearly shows right here! If I were you, I would also apply the burnt effect on the energy weapon tips like FW did on theirs (lascannons, venator cannons, volkites and etc). Like the way they did on this one (the Blue one) for example: http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/en-GB/Legion-Sicaran-Venator

[Sigismund's Ghost]

Thanks. I may have to experiment with weathering powders for the effect. It more forgiving than paint!
