jeremy1391 Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 Hello everyone! So yesterday a buddy of mine is getting out of the hobby so he GAVE me his Horus heresy collection, it’s a glorious emperors children army and 5 traitor Primarchs. Horus and Fulgrim are already painted to a ridiculous standard I won’t be able to replicate but I have Lorgar, Angron and Mortarion to paint. The first primarch I have begun work on is Lorgar. Please let me know what you think! Prim, Stix, Pearson73 and 11 others 14 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/369284-traitor-primarchs-and-emperors-children/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dosjetka Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 That's a generous friend. :o Good work so far!

Marshal Loss Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 You've done a great job on Lorgar, well done. :) jeremy1391 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/369284-traitor-primarchs-and-emperors-children/#findComment-5672603 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pearson73 Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 Lorgar looks great, I think you've really captured the golden skin that he's described with, but without making it unnatural or garish. It might be nice if the runes on the base were glowing with some sort of lambent power. jeremy1391 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/369284-traitor-primarchs-and-emperors-children/#findComment-5672723 Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkimaskMohawk Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 I'd be careful on the rune-glow in general on lorgar. The model can get extremely busy with all the trim and the surface being broken up by the runes in general. I personally did blood on the base-rune as if it was part of a sacrificial rite. Adds some interest but doesn't pull attention away from the model. jeremy1391 and Pearson73 2 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/369284-traitor-primarchs-and-emperors-children/#findComment-5672818 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremy1391 Posted March 1, 2021 Author Share Posted March 1, 2021 While this is not a Primarch obviously it is my first crack at painting up some of the emperors children.

Pearson73 Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 I think @SkimaskMohawk is right to urge caution with the runes, I think if both those on the armour and the base have glow effects, it could look a bit overdone. Nice use of the Minotaurs' Chaplain sculpt, I think it suits the Emperor's Children quite well. I like how you'v combined the black and purple on his armout too. The gold on the chap in the bakcground is also looking good!

The chap in the back is one of the models that were already painted by my friend who gave me the army, I am trying to recreate the purple/magenta that he used so I am using one of the existing models as a template so to speak.

It’s close but I need my Magenta/pink/reds/purple paints to show up from Amazon lol.

Dosjetka Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 Any chance you'd be willing to share your recipe for purple, please? jeremy1391 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/369284-traitor-primarchs-and-emperors-children/#findComment-5676731 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremy1391 Posted March 10, 2021 Author Share Posted March 10, 2021 Any chance you'd be willing to share your recipe for purple, please?

jeremy1391 Posted March 23, 2021 Author Share Posted March 23, 2021 So I think I finally made the correct purple based off of mixing and mixing followed by some more mixing. I present my yet to be named lord commander!

jeremy1391 Posted March 23, 2021 Author Share Posted March 23, 2021 Any chance you'd be willing to share your recipe for purple, please? So the mix is 2 parts screamer pink, 1 part Maccrage blue, 1 part Vallejo blue violet.

Pearson73 Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 That's a nice colour and a cool model! The only nitpick I have is that the blood drop on the helm might be better off being removed, but I guess it's too late! Still pretty clearly a lord of the IIIrd! jeremy1391 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/369284-traitor-primarchs-and-emperors-children/#findComment-5682173 Share on other sites More sharing options...
