Extra Bonus Close up of some model interaction:

This squad represents the last model set from my original Horus Heresy army plan. That doesn't mean I am done with HH but rather this completes the original goals I set back when I bought my BaC and BoP boxes nearly 4 years ago

The red on those Terminators looks outstanding!

[Spagunk]

Thanks but it's something having to do with this website. It oversaturated my colors a bunch and I can't find a way to fix it here.  For example:



In real life, all of my colors are muted and darker; which was done purposely.

I like the muted red! There's also something manic about the Inductii, like they're unhinged somehow, maybe the mk5 armour helps? It really fits them.

I was messing with my color balance and I'm not hugely liking the cooler backgrounds.

Making up for my neglect:

And the full squad...


 

 

 

This forum is messing with my color saturation again so things are more red than they are in actuality.

[Corswain]

They look great. I didn't expect that the standard Cataphractii would look so good with just a few bits. Nice work!

[Spagunk]

Thanks. When I started putting the pieces together, I was skeptical at first. But as long as I had stuck with the same basic color palette, everything kinda worked out.

[Spagunk]

I had to take a break for a couple months for reasons but here's what I worked on in November:

Blood Angels IXth Legion Castrafarrum Dreadnought

 

 

The color balance here is all off again...sorry.

In lieu of LVO this year, my gaming group decided to host our own event in Seattle. Officially it was called "Skullapalooza" but unoffically it was called "lvNO" due to the LVO crew royally screwing with our typically cool ZM events. Their loss because this year was pretty special. There are a bunch of pictures from the event but here are the ones someone took of my army:

The Venue "The Whiskey Bar" in Downtown Seattle.

 

 

It was inherently narrative as we had a whole planetary system we dogpiled into. The outcome was determined by cool themed "Tarot" cards which you collect by completing table missions and objectives. There was also a "demon hunt" narrative table you could jump into to collect more cards and other bonuses such as wargear or fun "curses". Super neat stuff.

 

I did not fare well though as I only had 3 games total and lost 2 of them pretty badly. My "Oops, all terminators!" list did a lot better than my Destroyer/Tears list.
