I think "minty fresh" perfectly describes your Sons of Horus. The black face plates on a brighter armour scheme is not something I've seen before.

[Pearson73]

Really nice clean work, I like the basing style too.

[Havoc95]

i have no words for how awesome those are!!

that green is perfect, might i ask how you painted it?

[Bjorn Firewalker]

Excellent work.

[Syward]

Wow. Those look incredible. Very nicely done. :tu:

Cpt_Reaper, I remember seeing black face plates on some Space Wolves twenty something years ago and thought Badass. Started the practice with my own wolves in back in the day and it seems to work on the SoH as well. (SoH paint armour sections black/use Cthonian Glyphs to denote standing/status at a squad and company level)

 

Really nice clean work, I like the basing style too.

 

Cheers Pearson73, the bases are the Halodyne range from MicroArt Studios in Poland - a bit pricey, but very nice casts.

Thanks Havoc95, the paints used are listed in my blog entry here. The entry also has a link to the SoH painting guide by Christoffer on his site Dorn's Arrow. It's what I used and he describes the process better than I ever could.

The colours are just gorgeous on these lads, the black contrasts really well!

[Pearson73]

Oh man, that Praetor is excellent, both the modelling and paintwork; the energy effect at the sword's point of entry and the tattoos are particularly well done.

[Ranulf]

Thanks Pearson! 

 

The energy effect was a late addition and the first time I've had a go at OSL - a bit nerve wracking given the mini was all but finished at that point! I wasn't sure it would work, but I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.

[Bjorn Firewalker]

Excellent work. Is that a dying Iron Hand on the Praetor's base?

[MagicMan]

Beautiful SoH.

 

Love that Praetor especially. The glowing sword is fantastic.

[Ranulf]

Cheers lads.

 

Excellent work. Is that a dying Iron Hand on the Praetor's base?

 

Yup, one of the dregs that fled from Istvaan V.

[Hungry Nostraman Lizard]

I love the whole thing, but that base is luuurvley. Where is it from?

[Ranulf]

I love the whole thing, but that base is luuurvley. Where is it from?

 

Cheers HNL, the 'base' base is from the Halodyne Range at MicroArts Studio along with a head from this basing kit at Scribor Miniatures.

 

Oh, and an Iron hand having a bad day.

[Bjorn Firewalker]

The Space Wolf Intercessors are well done, Ranulf.

[Kolgrim DeathHowl]

Excellent painting, first time seeing your thread the squads at the beginning in that really teal color super cool. Love the color scheme on them!

[Yosef Hausakluif]

That SOH Praetor is a great homage to the short story in Age of Darkness ‘Little Horus’; was that part of the inspiration?

 

He’s make for a great Aximand.

Entirely by coincidence - at the time I just wanted a brutal-looking, pseudo-Abaddon Praetor. ;)

Amazing looking squad!
