Elzender Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 Not trying to convince you or anything, but with the Sons of Horus you could easily field all their legion specific units as an allied detachment: - HQ: Maloghurst with command squad since SoH get their own one - Troops: Reavers - Elites: Justaerin I shall not listen to heretical whispers, I shall not listen to heretical whispers... Seriously though they are in a future project list (together with Sallies and EC), but right now my IF army is just starting and if I get involved in yet more things I would end up with yet another unfinished army Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/323663-the-mourning-of-the-mournival-a-xvi-legion-army-blog/page/2/#findComment-4436029 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackalwolf Posted July 5, 2016 Author Share Posted July 5, 2016 Thanks mate, I'll try make new pics soon. Here's some more detail on Aximand since ppl like him: http://i1379.photobucket.com/albums/ah128/Grieux/Legio%20XVI/eb2349c9-73af-42a0-a282-802750f3f3df_zpsolbhqoaq.jpg I should get to paint him and Torgaddon soon, current work line is finishing off a Jetbike squad, and then it's either them or the tacticals for my EC to make them a 1250 army.

Jackalwolf Posted July 5, 2016 Author Share Posted July 5, 2016 And the promised legionnaires pictures. Sorry but I don't have a lightbox and my camera is an iPhone 5s :S http://i1379.photobucket.com/albums/ah128/Grieux/Legio%20XVI/00A691D1-3029-446A-8D6B-9DA113589F96_zpskr5u2mrk.jpg http://i1379.photobucket.com/albums/ah128/Grieux/Legio%20XVI/4CA67CFE-7F9A-4D4E-9630-1D082F8AE830_zps4xpuonvc.jpg http://i1379.photobucket.com/albums/ah128/Grieux/Legio%20XVI/50A33840-255B-4FE1-A828-2425340FFE6B_zpshefi1erb.jpg http://i1379.photobucket.com/albums/ah128/Grieux/Legio%20XVI/48A8DB27-C2AB-46FB-A508-BD14DEF03DC0_zpswsccpmte.jpg http://i1379.photobucket.com/albums/ah128/Grieux/Legio%20XVI/133D4CFA-798C-4C3C-93A1-006FBDC147CD_zpsdv79j55i.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/323663-the-mourning-of-the-mournival-a-xvi-legion-army-blog/page/2/#findComment-4436127 Share on other sites More sharing options...
The WarpGhost Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 The green looks even more impressive close-up! Love the Eye of Horus on the one guys helm too. The black on the helms makes more sense looking at it like this, from the other pics they kinda looked a bit like they were wearing shades! I'm still not entirely sold on making the forehead pieces black, but I'm not the biggest fan of the SoH helmets in general (as much as I love the SoH theme and the rest of their special bits)so may not be the best judge! x) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/323663-the-mourning-of-the-mournival-a-xvi-legion-army-blog/page/2/#findComment-4436134 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackalwolf Posted July 6, 2016 Author Share Posted July 6, 2016 And just to show how the models of Tarik and Aximand interact, I´ll be building them in a diorama to mirror the fight between Abaddon and Loken. In this version Aximand still had no hand but can´t take any new photos of the finished model since he´s disassembled and primed ready to be painted! http://i1379.photobucket.com/albums/ah128/Grieux/Legio%20XVI/24dcf6a4-2562-4807-8169-51d920d7e728_zpshsbzo2ew.jpg 'I’ve seen it, Tarik, the warp. You can’t stand against that.’ 'You know I can´t back down. No more than you can.' 'Then this is it?' 'Yes, it is. As you said, none of us would have chosen this.' Aximand readied himself. 'Just like the practice cages, Tarik.' 'No,' said Torgaddon, 'nothing like that.' This scene occurs while Loken and Abaddon keep fighting their duel and I think encompasses perfectly the sadness of the end of the Mournival whilst Loken and Abaddon represent the anger at the betrayal.

Ishagu Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Oh my. Your models look absolutely spectacular. The general infantry are fantastic and that Veteran Leviathan Dread looks incredible in those colours!

Xenaur Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Tarik and Aximand have so much potential and your paint scheme is spot on, cant wait to see the finished piece!! Keep up the good work!

Joe Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 You should have a macro function on your iPhone 5s. It might be worth checking around on Google as well to see if there's any advice on how to get the best bang for your buck when it comes to using it. That aside, I'm completely in love with Horus Aximand; he's just how I envisioned him to be. It's such a shame he's slated to die. :c Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/323663-the-mourning-of-the-mournival-a-xvi-legion-army-blog/page/2/#findComment-4436709 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackalwolf Posted July 6, 2016 Author Share Posted July 6, 2016 I hope they keep writing him in the fluff and make him die in Lupercalia at the hand of the EC while mourning his dead father and trying to build the legion to what it once was whilst knowing it is an absolutely impossible task since they´re too far gone and too few left. Or die willingly at the hands of Loken to pay for the crime against Tarik. Or rebel at the last moment in some meaningless and inconsequential gesture against the Warmaster and be executed. Melancholy is such a sublime humor to explore.

Achinadav Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Lovely composition with Little Horus and Tarik. Are you going to use the stock Loken and Abaddon? I've always thought there was something off with Loken's mini and would love to see what you came up with.

Torvak Kyre Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Which sword are you going to be using for Torgaddon? The one in the first pic or the one vs Aximand. I have to say that I really like the second one.

I have to say that I really like the second one.I think you're right. Finally got around to retouch him until I was 100% happy, which included the original sword and a reposing of the left arm so it fits better in the diorama, pointing an accussation to Aximand when they take a break from the fight to speak. Lovely composition with Little Horus and Tarik. Are you going to use the stock Loken and Abaddon? I've always thought there was something off with Loken's mini and would love to see what you came up with.Heh I actually really like their original miniatures and I think their dynamism and anger will contrast great with the pause and melancholy of the fight between Torgaddon and Aximand. http://i1379.photobucket.com/albums/ah128/Grieux/Legio%20XVI/CEB25025-4157-4B88-A2CC-6BB736E37773_zpsauiuqg4f.jpg http://i1379.photobucket.com/albums/ah128/Grieux/Legio%20XVI/B947A52D-A24B-4CD0-B00A-AB40C1F24599_zpsw1acl9fb.jpg 'Little Horus, when did you realise how far you had gone? Was it when the Warmaster told you we were going to be bombed, or some time before?'
