The Red Sorcerers of Prospero: Exiles of Osiris

Looks awesome! What I really love is the shoulder pads on that guy. Their angle and trim really make the robed warrior stand out even more.

[Pearson73]

Love that Praetor figure and you've certainly done him justice.

[Cadmus Tyro]

Amazing work brother, the stormbird is soooo awesome. I like the proteus Achilles alpha and the idea of using the spare parts from the proteus to make a phobos, brilliant. Welcome to the WIP forum!

 

Cadmus

Had missed the great Athrawes was back on painting!! Truly awesome TS, they're a very cool legion and your conversions are spot on!

[Galloway]

Aaru is beautifully done, love the mix of colors used. The black works really well on the crest.

[Atia]

Missed some great updates buddy. That's remembering me to continue on my own 1k sons sometimes next year haha!

 

Also a big  for the Terminator Assault Cannons (seriously FW, how could you have messed that one up, even GW got it right this time )

<sup>I am a bit late to the party, but you, sir, are my hero!

I may ask in the future for advice on what bits to use, your conversions are beautiful and to me they translate perfectly the feel that a 30k TS force should have. Bravo!</sup>

Stunning blog to read through. Great work all through and seeing the Force deployed was a bit special. Really like the use of the 40k bits worked in to some units.

as always, your painting is top notch and acts as a prime example of exactly how good metallic armours can look when done by someone with the skill to pull it off.

How long do you think he took to paint by the way?

I always find things take me ages, even when I try to be quick, and I also always find the quality of my painting drops rapidly if I don't paint slowly.

Avatars of Ruin

 

I've been working on expanding the armored assets for my XV Legion force since February, I had assembled them, and kept that at the basecolor stage for the better part of a year, but after the transition to 8th edition my focus has lately been on learning the new ruleset.

 

After my stunning game a few weeks back on the Tizca table, I've found my inspiration again, and quickly completed my remaining armor.

 

Proteus Pattern Achilles-Alpha

 

 

 

 

I'm very pleased with the conversion. I've wanted to do this since I first saw the conversion in the Horus Heresy masterclass book. I've always loved the Proteus chassis and thought that it would be a stellar base for a Achilles-Alpha conversion. It was an expensive, and time consuming conversion, but i hope you can appretiate the results.

 

Mark IIa  Land Raider Phobos.

 

 

 

 

 

 

After the conversion from combining a Land raider Achilles-Alpha, and a Extra Armor Proteus, I had a lot of of expensive parts left over. This led me to combine them into what I'm call a Mark IIa pattern land Raider. IT is broadly similar to the IIb from forgeword, but the upper hall is that of an armored Proteus or a Spartan Assault tank, which I think helps tie this closer to the MK I Proteus Land Raiders.

 

On top of this conversion, I've included the Heresy pattern tracks provided by Extra Armor. I'm almost as pleased with this tank as with the Proteus Achilles-Alpha, however I have yet to decide whether to put a winged scarab transfer over the white stripe on the center hull. Thoughts?

I also love the masterclass conversion, but I've been unable to find any tutorial whatsoever on the subject. All the book has is the army display, which is gorgeous, but not very useful.

 

How hard would you consider this conversion is? I assume the twin-linked heavy bolter fits better into the Phobos than the Thunderfire fits into the Proteus, but switching the sponsons should not be as much of a problem.

Aww, what a cute little Proteus. AFB right now, how much transport capacity does it have?

[noigrim]

Looks like the one in the book

[Marius Perdo]

Firstly they look great.

 

I think the scarab would help but also little chips away at the edges of the white stripe showing red through, especially at the point where the ramp roof lifts up and would rub against the main hull. The other chipping/weathering around the red hull looks great and the pure unblemished white stripe looks too clean IMO.

 

Regardless, look great.
