Richmarine's Sons of Horus

Recommended Posts

Next up. Reavers. Equipped them with 2 power fists, power axe, 5 combi meltas. Very expensive unit. Thinking of splitting them up at some point. Would really like jump packs. Carried the theme of the sauron eye.

I really like your models. Very smooth and I guess "crisp" would be a good word for it. Are the gold glyphs on the models right shoulder freehand?

Started off on some of the minis as freehand, but they didn't stand out. The regular paints didn't give a sharp enough edge to stand out. I also tried using a tamiya gold with real gold flakes. But decals work best. Which are found here

They're in gold only so I guess it works for reavers/justearin cathonian born marines etc. that use dark sea green/black.

Last up of my units completed so far is a dreadclaw drop pod. Either for use with getting my reavers to their target or for transporting my Contemptor.

It is a large model and looks cool but I'be had mixed fortunes with it. It's rules are strange as it deep strikes but can deviate unlike conventional drop pods. So it can mishap. That's a lot of points to go wrong.

Hopefully as time goes on I can add more to the army. Really thinking of some serious armour and fire support. But the pull of having more infantry is strong. Really like the thought of jump pack reavers and justaerin terminators in a spartan. Next WIP are a pair of Apothacaries.

Wow. Some nice comments there. I'm going to round off this topic with some army wide images. I'm currently painting up some Apothacaries for the army. But I'm thinking tanks next. Been a while since I've painted any. I'll continue to post the finished models here in the months/years to come.

 

Just need games....

This is absolutely outstanding work brother - and a Midland'er as well!

Standard of painting is uniformly brilliant and Horus is just fantastic.

Do you play anywhere locally? Would love to see this in person (although I don't play 30K at all).

Live near Stourbridge, there is a local wargames club but work has taken over my life at the moment, haven't had a game this year.

Updates.

 

Finished Spartan. Decided to go all historical with this and copy the image from betrayal. Plus a few artistic changes of my own.

Loken. I decided to weather this chap up to look like he'd been on istvaan a while.

 

The mould looked like a mis cast I bought cheap off eBay which aided in the over all look. Or could have been a knock off.
