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

24th squad, 77th Grand Company, IVth Legiones Astartes, Ready for duty, Sir!

So I know it's been a year since any previous updates, but hey, life and stuff.
Second unit of 20 bolter dudes is complete! Finally! :)

23rd squad, 77th Grand Company, IVth Legiones Astartes, reporting for duty!

The first of my Tactical squads is now (finally!) done! Squad two isn't far behind too, thankfully. Glad to finally finish some boots on the ground.

Playing catch-up...

Its been slow, but like Alex, im planning to catch up and get ahead ready for August and the Betrayal event at Warhammer World. To that end, i currently have on my desk these bad boys:

10 Lovely Assault Legionnaires

 5 Legion Destroyers (with magnetised backs, so i can swap between jump packs and normal backpacks)

 My currently unnamed Moritat (also magnetised for backpack choice).

 Some of Sevatar's best, the Attramentar Cataphractii

Planning to get some paint on these guys this week and reall crack on. Once i've got these done i've promised myself a SPAAAARRRTTTAAANNNN!!!!

So, its been a tough ride these last couple of months with painting various armies for other events. I have however managed to finish my pair of Legion Apothecaries. Apologies for the shonky pictures, but this was an on-the-fly post! 

Next up is a Legion assault squad, a snapshot of the first 5 Legionnaires is below!

With the announcement of the first in a series of Horus Heresy events at Warhammer World, and with my doubles army out of the way i'm fully intending to get this blog back on track and get the Sons of the sunless world ready to crush some Loyalists at the end of August!

Ave Dominus Nox!

Sons of Horus - Contemptor - Complete

Well again its a bit late but finally the first of 3 Contemptors is finished. Hope you like it!

 

 

 

 

 

Due to some commitments to my 40K Doubles in April and having still not received my missing Terminator weapons from FW I will be going at my Apothocaries this month.

Hopefully I will be able to keep to the deadline for March!

We are the night...

Ok, little late with the update, but due to 2 weeks out of the country i had a little bit of catching up to do.

So, firstly, Captain Zar Thane is now 99% complete. I want to give him a nice shiny effect on his Paragon Axe, but i haven't had much practice with painting this effect, so i want to try it out a bit before committing it to my Legion Praetor!

For next months project, i shall be adding a little resilience to the force in the form of a pair of Legion Apothecarys. One has been equipped with an augury scanner because they kick ass when he's with his buddies in my upcoming 20 man Tactical squad!

Sons of Horus - Contemptor WIP

I am a little behind again.. seems like a bit of a common theme for me. I will hopefully have the contemptor finished in the next couple of days. I can then get cracking with my 3 predators!

Sons of Horus - Contemptor WIP

As I had a little set back with my Justaerin I have decided to complete the first of 3 planned contemptors.

I wanted him to look like he was striding through a building laying down serious fire from his kheres assault cannons. Let me know what you think...

I have added a few extra details on his shoulders and the start of an 'Eye of Horus' on his right knee. I should have some paint on him by the end of the weekend.

Ave Dominus Nox!

Just a quick update tonight with some WIP shots of Captain Zar Thane of the 7th Company. 

I realised that im off on holidays on the 15th, and not back until the start of March, so i only have 4 days to finish this months project!

Sons of Horus - Tactical Squad Complete!

I know its a bit late but better late than never as they say. I have to add some detail on the Lexilla and some transfers when they arrive but all in all they are in a 99% finished state. If you guys have any ideas what I could put on the Lexilla in terms of names they would be most welcome.

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:
