Falkus Kibre, The Widow Maker - Sons of Horus - Forgeworld

 

Hello everyone!

So I just recently finished this model, the relatively new Sons of Horus Terminator from Forgeworld.
This was an absolute pleasure to paint and in my opinion, one of the best models Forgeworld has made in quite a while. I only did minor alterations on this one, pretty much just the head and a few more weapons (praise magnet Jesus).

Painted like all my other black armoured Sons of Horus (check the painting guide section for my tutorial) and then some more work done on the final highlights. To be fair the black armour didn't quite turn out how I wanted it, but I'm still very pleased with my result. The cloak and all the gold trim I'm really happy with so it kinda balances it out :-D

Anyway here are some more pictures

And because Instagram demanded it, here are a few group shots of all my Justaerin to date. Still have a few more I need to paint, but that will have to wait.

The next project is a Primarch I'm painting for a good friend of mine, probably won't post about it here until it's done, so follow along on Instagram if you are interested.

Until next time
Chris

Ezekyle Abaddon - Bust - Work in Progress

Hello everyone!
So I can't remember if I have shown this "miniature" on the blog yet, but since I took some "Current State" pictures yesterday I thought I might as well do it. The bust is probably about 25-30cm tall so it's fucking huge and very difficult to handle, but it's a great challenge to paint.
I've been working on this for some time now on/off, as I usually paint a bit on it, then take a little break with another more manageable project and then return to do some more. I've just finished working on all the leather strips so I think it's time for another break now.

The black armor is still very much WIP, but when I start on the shoulder pads and arm, I will probably finish all the black parts together, so they hopefully end up looking roughly the same :P

Until next time
Chris

Ezekyle Abaddon - Wargame Exclusive

Hello everyone!
After reading "The Talon of Horus" by Aaron Dembski-Bowden, I knew I had to paint up an Abaddon mini, sadly Games Workshop most current version just isn't up to scratch, but luckily I had managed to get my hands on one of the first limited edition CHAOS MASTER OF CRUSADE from Wargame Exclusive. I don't think its on sale anymore, so if you would like one, you should probably look on Ebay or maybe write them directly?

This miniature was amazing (except for the sword, which I really didn't like) and just a joy to paint, the sculpt was nearly perfect, with only a minimum of mold lines and all the details came out so crisp. I would highly recommend anyone to check out Wargame Exclusives other miniatures.


Until next time.

Chris

  

  

  

Next project is the big man himself...

Work in Progress - Abaddon - Wargame Exclusive

Hello everyone!

Just thought I would make a short post about my current project.
If you would like to see more regular WIP photos etc. you should follow me on Instagram @DornsArrow :)

But anyway, I'm currently painting this lovely miniature from Wargame Exclusive, I think this specific version a very limited edition, but they do make one which is almost the same.

Painting this has made me realize that I'm glad my main force if not Black Legion....so much bloody gold trim on these Chaos models :-D  However I'm trying to make it fit in with my Sons of Horus, and the main idea was to use this mini in an Apocalypse Campaign I'm currently playing in. Therefor I'm not going full 40k chaos on it.

Anyway hope you enjoy this little teaser, hopefully I will have it done soon :)
