Davinite Lodge Priest - Sons of Horus - Forgeworld

 


Hello everyone

I'm going to an event in Malmö later this year and everyone has been asked to bring a "Remembrancer" for one of the missions we are going to be playing. I wasn't quite sure what I was going to do, as I couldn't really think of a lore-friendly way to make a remembrancer for the Sons of Horus, seeing how they kill all of them before the Heresy actually began for real.

Luckily one of my good mates had this old model still in a blister box and offered to just give it to me, as it had just been collecting dust on his shelve for years. So I happily accepted and made a few simple modifications to it by adding the standard. 

If you don't know, and I'm sure most people don't, this is an Event-only model that Forgeworld made about 10 years ago. Today you might be able to find it on eBay or a Facebook trading group if you are lucky and probably also if you do your resin shopping in the far east. Personally I've never seen this model in the flesh before and there aren't a lot of pictures of it online, so I guess it's relatively rare.

It was such a blast to convert and paint and I think this model will suit the role of "Remembrancer" perfectly during the event.

Anyway here are some more pictures, enjoy :-)


Now I'm back to painting a lot of Tactical Marines, follow along on Instagram if you would like to see my progress. However, it's currently extremely hot (as you probably know) so hobby time is a little sporadic...

Until next time

Recon Marines - Sons of Horus - Forgeworld

 

Hello everyone
So I'm currently working on a rather large project for my Sons of Horus, this weekend I managed to finish the first part of it, this 5 man Recon Squad. Was a lovely kit to paint and had a lot of fun with it. I'm actually surprised how fast I finished these, but I'm sure batch painting 30 tactical marines will kill my will to live again :-p

These are painted by following my own recipe (from the pdf) and then added a bit more highlights with the hairy brush in the end, just using some glazes etc.

Anyway here are some more pictures.




Until next time

VI Legion Watch Pack - Vlka Fenryka - Mournival Events

   

Hello everyone

So I spent the last few months getting these 10 members of The Vlka Fenryka painted. I don't know why they took so long...might have been all that Vermintide 2 I've been playing recently :-p

These are veeeery loosely modelled on the Watch Pack that arrive on Macragge in the book "Unremembered Empire". I've just used a few random "Space Wolf" bits from different brand and then the Grey Slayer upgrade kits from Forgeworld to make these and then I've based them to match my Ultramarines.

Was pretty fun to try and paint another legion again, but overall I didn't enjoy this project too much and I'm looking forward to paint something else. 

Anyway, enough talk! Here's a few more pictures enjoy :-)

Until next time
Chris
