Sons of Horus - Test Painting

by DaBoss on Sun Nov 03, 2013 2:12 pm
Just need to finish the base and do some highlights on the Shoulder Pauldrons
Think the Shoulder Icon needs darkening?
Plus Squad symbol of other shoulder - What to put there? Did Tactical Squad Markings exist in 30K pre-codex astartes?
- test painting of my Sons of Horus done.

Helghast 7th Army (IG)

by Jay on Tue Jun 07, 2011 4:31 pm
I've been building my IG steadily over the course of 4 years (blimey!) and for the most part it's been neglected, unpainted and a mess of unfinished models. No more! I've always wanted to do a sci-fi inspired army (my initial forays was to mimic the Starship Troopers of the TV show or the Halo marines) This lead to half my army being painted then being stripped after falling out with these scheme. Thus my search to create the perfect Helghast Army started in Summer 09. To that end I have stripped, dissembled nearly all my models, I bought pig iron Kolony heads, a bunch of Elysian stuff and some Helghan inspired models from war factory (I've also ordered some nice custom conversion bits from max minis). After several tests schemes I've settled on what I want, got me plenty of bits for modeling and now I've committed myself to painting 2000pts worth of units (minus vehicles) by September!

So stay tuned as I update with pictures

Progress!...well sort of.

Exciting news! Had a chat with some of the new custom bits websites and got a decent quote on casting custom parts! Whoop! Will solve my head issue and hopefully open the door to lots of cool ideas. The downside is I need to provide a sculpt, something I can't do, however I have a plan! I found some paper craft unfolded Helghan assault heads and hope to downscale, match 28mm and build loosely using plastic card. If that fails then will give good old green stuff (which is doomed to failure) however this is the really cool part. I used to be fairly decent at 3d Studio Max and after getting some quotes from 3d printers I think this maybe the way forward, well in a convoluted way anyways. Model in Max and/or Zbrush. Convert if need be in AutoCad, send to 3d printers, get my picture perfect master, send off and cast. The whole process will probably cost upwards of £50 but I think it'll be worth it.

On a different note I've found a good palette (thanks Matt) and will be hunting around for ...

Horus Heresy - Sons of Horus New Year Update

by DaBoss on Wed Jan 01, 2014 2:36 pm
With New Years day bring very wet and grey, perfect time to get the paints out and start adding some colour to my Sons of Horus models.

Starting with 2 coats of Dry Brushed Mechanicus Standard Grey.

Two Squads of 20 Tactical Marines, 10 Support Tactical Marines, 2 Apothecaries and a Praetor

Two Spartans.

Now for a Dry Bush of Dawnstone before going with a coat of Biel-Tan Green wash

You'll notice I'm missing the Quad Lascannon guns from the Spartans, seems that Forgeworld sent me Predator Sponsons wrongly!!
Wondered why the brackets seemed too small - phoned FW on 20th Dec, still waiting for the post to arrive; hopefully before Monday 6th as I wanted to use my Sons of Horus in their first game of WH30K (more like against 40K Chaos Space Marines) in a 2000pt game.

When I posted this on B&C, Some didn't believe I freehanded the banner... So, I painted another :D

I started by under coating with Chaos Black. then I dry brushed the lifted area with Shadow gray, followed by Fortress Gray. I then did a very light wash with Badab Black (which I didn't on the original) because...
