Perturabo, The Hammer Of Olympia - Primarch Of The IVth Legionaries Astartes.

So I now have Perturabo ready too! All credit for painting this guy goes to Steve Day, a good friend of mine and an incredible painter.
The picture at the bottom shows my Legions current readiness. Add 10 Cataphractii Terminators and a Deimos Rhino (both WIP) to that and that's my first 2,000 points of my planned 7,000 all done! :D

End of month 1! Tactical Squad Ankaran ready to deploy

So children, we come to it now, the end of month 1! My first troops choice, a Legion Tactical Squad, designated as Tactical squad Ankaran, Third Claw of the 7th Company, VIII Legio Astartes. They say a picture paints a thousand words, so i've got enough pictures for a short novel...

I think ive got the colour scheme nailed down now. I particularly enjoyed painting the lightning bolts on the armour plates. The astute among you might notice that the Legion symbol has not yet been added, but that shoulder pad is currently just blu-tacked in place for appearance until Forge World inevitably release some awesome sculpted shoulder pads. The skin on the sergeants face isn't as smooth as i would have liked, but again, i'll put it down to experience and this will improve over time.

And, just to finish off this post, a WIP taste of February's selection, my HQ choice, a Legion Praetor.

Meet 7th Captain Zar Thane, VIII Legio Astartes:

Third claw, almost complete!

As we draw into the final few days of month one, i've *almost* finished my Tactical Squad and Rhino. So without further ado, heres some lovely pictures (I still havent got the hang of taking decent pictures yet, especially of models which are predominantly a dark colour). Just a few details and a bit of weathering to go!

Over the next few days i will be adding weathering to the bases and legs using this:

On thursday night i will be able to reveal the finished products!
