Recommended Posts

Wow guys there are some great looking models coming along here! I've got a very small update here in my wip thread if anyone is interested. I've finished the tabard on the Marshal and I will be looking at getting the remaining models ready. Give that there will be little if any conversions on these guys that should probably only take a day of bashing bits together and then I'll be moving on to the painting. Thanks guys. 

Alright! Time for an update on Horus!

 

So.... yeah. For the past week I have... ummm...

 

Let's see. I've dry fit all the parts numerous times. They all "fit" for the most part, so that's good. The two parts of the base line up strangely, though. 

 

Um... What else?

 

Oh! I've turned some of the larger pieces over and over in my hands while I stared aimlessly into space, wondering what I've gotten myself into with these Primarch figures and just how awfully I'm going to mess them up, so there's that.

 

Doesn't he look great so far?!

Joking aside, I have made some progress, but there was also plenty of the above over the last week. The left arm has been pinned and I'm almost finished with repositioning the right arm:

There was quite a lot of space to fill on the back of the arm with the new position and getting all that to line up in the tight space of his armpit has been fun.

 

The pteruges on the left arm come molded in place while the ones on the right are left separate for you to attach, and for the life of me, I can't seem to find how they're supposed to line up properly, even before I changed the right arm. While I don't mind those things attached to the shoulder pads of Horus and other figures, like the Cataphractii, I'm not really that much a fan of the ones hanging from the belt so I don't think I will be including them on the big man.

Really debating if I should hold off on posting altogether until I get a new phone or find my camera...

 

 

Anyway here's a WIP update at least:

Excellent view of how much the cannons were warped. Oh well, it wouldn't be a FW product if it didn't need a hot water bath. If anyone's curious, the two big bags in the background is an Achilles Alpha and a Typhon. Sadly the Typhon isn't for me :< Blisters are mainly for some bling bits and some odds and ends, and there should be 5 tactical marines in mk4 armor there somewhere...

Welcome to working with resin, if you don't need hotwater or a heat gun then something is amiss.

gnehe, you should check out my WIP thread, resin is my daily bread xD 

 

 

I usually don't follow wip threads as much (I'd rather go 'oooh' and 'aaah' later) but I'll have a peek

 

My cannons weren't warped in the slightest, just misaligned stuff elsewhere

Clearly you are a sorcerer for no (wo)man has straight cannons!

 

Also: Bacon is done, I finally found a way to paint multiple yellow bastards at decent pace and as you can see in the background, thats a good thing.

First real WIP Start shot:

The kit really builds itself. Pose isn't finalized yet, torso is not glued on, neither is head. Need to do something about the flash lines on the cannons

Here are a couple of close-ups.

Happy enough with how these are going, gives me a bit more confidence about the BT squad I need to do. I've washed everything yesterday evening so need to dybrush and relayer (?) tonight. Keep up the good work everyone, btw those Primarch models look great, someday I'll have the courage.

that is some clean painting!
Update No2: Fisty!!


 


 

Not finished yet ofc but getting there, a little more weathering to do and I will base when I get the rest of the squad done :biggrin.:

 

EDIT - camera not taking good photos. Yes, it is the camera not me!!!!! :P

Here's the first WIP shot. Torso still not glued on because that'd make it really finicky to try and reach some details on the back and underside of said torso.

Think he's gonna shape up nicely. Old Raimer is also here for comparison
