Richmarine's Sons of Horus

I love your Sons.... makes me nervous for painting up my own for ETL though. I am rather glad that I hadn't done more than a test model before FW released their paint, since my mix was rather complicated and I was worried about recreating it.

 

You've definitely given me some inspiration for them though!

I did a lot of research into colours. everything from green wash on grey, green wash on bolt gun metal. The favourite for most seems to be Vallejo USMC tank crew green. But I found it too light.

 

I think it comes down to personal taste. There's always a get out clause in the description of soh which seems to be the more fallen they are the darker the green. I tried to reflect this with the reavers and the tactical squad.

I also found on the drop pod assault game they've given the soh White accents to link them in with the Luna wolves. If ever I do another tactical squad I think I'd like to give them white shoulder pads.

I would go with whatever shade suits you. In the end they'll look awesome to you, which is what matters.

Been neglecting to update my army progress. i am getting very close to getting finished everything i wanted to do for this army.

 

Below are the last few that was completed for the ETL. I've also gone back and turned half of my reavers to jump infantry. the idea is to have two reaver squads; One kitted for close combat with jump packs and the other for close fire support. I've also started to re-base these on 32mm bases.

Ran across your pics while doing a google search for SOH - what an outstanding looking army!  Really great work - everything flows so well.  I especially like the shots on the scenery tables.  It adds some great atmosphere to the characters.

Ermm. Bit hard to describe. Got a lot of inspiration from Sauron from lord of the rings.

 

Just painted the whole thing red. Wash with black. And then move from red to orange to yellow. Essentially just little flames.

 

For eye lenses I do the old horizon thing. Similar to the colours for the eye or horus. Just concentrate on the bottom area. The brightest part being the top of the horizon. A spot of white is always on the darkest side.
