The Sons Of Horus by Stricken

Welcome to Ottawa, I look forward to playing you msn-wink.gif

I look forwarded to playing you too:) We'll have to set something up soon.

I will have more photos to post soon, I had to repaint my legion... The SoH colours from FW were too tempting to pass up and the Green shade always bugged me.

Here's a sneak peek.

Is that just the FW airbrush SoH paint??

 

Yes they are. I used 5mls of Lupercal green mixed with 3mls of SoH green and then straight highlights with the SoH green.

 

I really like your scheme. It breaks the sea green with just the right amount of off colours and gives a great unifies look when you put them all down.

Thank you Wolf_Pack. When putting this together all those years I wrote what how I wanted to keep as much as I could uniform as I could. An example being is all of the gold done is the exact same, from the gun barrels on the Sicaran and Spartan to my first company to Horus himself. I look forwarded to the day when we meet across the table.

 

 

Yer work looks fantastic , I especially love the green on yer regular guys though yer first company definitely is fantastic ! Please keep posting stuff cause it is certainly a joy to oogle.

Thank you as requested here is all the current Green to the army.

(I still have to order some MK IV Shoulders for these guys)

Well that's it for now, I recently stripped my Justaerin since picking up my BaC box set so I am working tirelessly to return Horus's Terminator Elite back to service. I also am working on a 10 man Veteran Squad and an apothecary (so many options from the box)

 

If anyone have any request for photos from different angles don't be shy.

Fresh from the artificers of the Warmaster, my Justaerin have returned to field.

Next on the workbench is a 10 man Veteran squad.

Awww yeah. The sons of Horus are back on the boards!

 

Yes we are! Lupercal! Lupercal!

 

Nice Matt, taking down the spartan earned them that paint job

Thank Cleary, anytime a combi-melta takes the last HP off an armoured Ceramite Spartan is a good day.... Until you roll three 1's on 5 dice.

  • 2 weeks later...

Well its been a light couple of weeks here. I have completed a single Veteran minus a shoulder pad (they're on their way more on that soon)

and here is what's currently on the go (unfortunately I started too soon for Loyalty and Treachery however I still have more currently on hand)

I used my free Shipping Voucher today........ Reinforcements Approaching.

My First Super Heavy, I'm Really excited. With this purchase the core of my Legion is now complete; time to return to the forge.

I'm suddenly very happy I have some grav already.

censored.gif Typhons

lol, it's kind of funny as a few days ago I wasn't going to order one. Instead I had 5 more Justaerin,x3 more MKIV shoulders and some Brass. Then I realized that for just a little more I could get the Typhon. Well after that Eureka moment I couldn't go back. Upgrades will always be available, but the chance to get a Super heavy is not.

One day I'll run an Onslaught formation and have Horus Outflank a Typhon, I might loose friends that way though....

Well this will be a quick update as I have much to do by Friday.

 

With Loyalty & Treachery upon us I have been building up like crazy, to add to the craziness Ski Mask and I are scheduled to meet Friday for a game; it should be a Video Batrep so stay turned for that.

 

anyway my vets are coming along the first 5 are nearly done (Hurry mail with my order, I hate waiting)

My Prep work for L&T, soon to be oathed for the cause. So far I'm sitting on 20man Tact squad, 5 Terminators, Apothecary and a Navigator, once the goods come in that will change.

Speaking of the Navigator here's what I'll be using

When things slow down I'll write a fluff piece I think for her.

 

Anyway that's it for now

Those SoH need to show up at the Skirmish at the Border!

I would love to Wolf but unfortunately but I'm booked that week. Maybe next time though biggrin.png.

I just finished a game with Skimask and it was a great and close game, One of us (or both) will post the link to the Video in the near future.

In the meantime my reinforcements arrived today, lets say that with L&T and a Tournament in the near future, I have a busy couple of months.

Much much more to come.

I am glad to see some heresy games taking place in the area. Being completely on the other side of gatineau and bus bound,I am jealous of the Ottawa scene msn-wink.gif

Looking forward to seeing the video

I feel you, it was a stroke of blind luck that I was able to find awesome guys like Skimask and Ben.

Dreadclaw Drop Pod

Well it close to 8 hours to put this thing together and it was a total pain in the censored.gif to do so. Having to cut the doors from the drop pod and then align them all was insane. I admit that I'm pretty sure its not 100% straight but once the paint in is on you wont be able to tell.

http://i722.photobucket.com/albums/ww223/mbrooks_1987/IMG_0428_zpslcndd6tq.jpg

Anyway this is also serves as an update to L&T; I just hope the Typhon will be smoother, it should be as the tracks already attached, unlike the Spartan I put together a few years ago.

Looks pretty alright! Dreadclaws are just a pain, period. They use so little of the plastic DP kit that I kind of just wish it was all resin. Although then some of the resin parts have shrinkage or misalignment issues occasionally. They're not Stormeagle or Old-Spartan-Tracks bad, but dang.

Thank you, Old Spartan Tracks most defiantly sucked

 

 

Dreadclaw looks ace!

 

After the horror stories I've head of them though it feels like I'd be better off with a normal drop pod and the spider legs from that Necron Stalker thing.

I never heard of the horror stories before; but as a SoH player I think at least one dreadclaw should be in the army.

 

 

 

"Death comes for us all, although for some....... It is closer than you think "
