I got tired of painting the 1st legion for the moment, so I started doing some green again.

Enjoy









I apologize for any cut off photos :/ Photobucket beat me up and took my lunch money...

Looking good man!!! YOu going to hit the leviathan with any other tones?

[Ishagu]

Great stuff :-D

[Hellex_The_Thanatar]

Wonderful weathering on the leviathan

@lionofjudah
Thanks man! I'm less of a fan of the pale green than of the darker jade green. I feel the darker color reflects the later stages of the Sons of Horus before they go all spiky and weird

@Ishagu
means a lot man! I spent a few hours just toying with all the colors and everything. Sometimes I'll sit and stare at things until I like them or until I paint them lol.

I started making my own urban bases for my Reavers, I should have both finished this week with some luck:

[KBA]

Awesome bases! Good SoH start

[Ishagu]

Looking forward to seeing those Reavers :-)

[depthcharge12]

Made some progress but still need to work on the shoulder pads and some details. Right now they look super Black Legion-y lol.

[Ishagu]

So when are you going to battle my Ultramarines? :-P

As soon as you bring your blue butt up to the frigid north wastes of Chicago lol I'd wrassle Athrawes and whomever else does heresy in the area for a big game. We bring everything except the kitchen sink...

[depthcharge12]

Also here is an old crappy photo of my despoilers/Veterans that I am plan to finish next:

[fire golem]

Yessss, been missing your SoH (although I've finally been won round to the Dark Angels so I haven't minded too much!)

Hipster Sons of Horus!

Looking fantastic as usual, the red power weapons stand out nicely from the black (and will contrast any green bits nicely too).

++Pict Capture: Reaver Squad "Hecate"++



...his heart was beating in his chest like the dull recoil of a bolter on automatic. The man named Yisrail stepped through the hatch aboard the Vengeful Spirit, cloaked in the hooded garb of his predecessor, following a path he had witnessed others take late in ship's rotation. His throat rose in his gorge at the slightest though of what had happened to those late walkers of the night upon the planet below...one man...one brother in particular...

.."The Warmaster is furious with these turn of events brothers!" spat a gravely voice known all to well within the legion."




The man formerly known as Yisrail slipped through the throng of hooded XVIth legionaries all regarding the gravely voice, which belonged to Ser Targhost. He had escaped notice this far and sent thanks to whatever diety had been giving him such fortune. Yisrail's palms began to sweat with nervousness at the predicament...

"It seems we have some loyalists in our midst brothers...we were not so lucky to rid ourselves of them on Isstvaan below. Bring them out brothers, we may yet have sport."

Yisrail flinched and nearly drew his sheathed cutlass beneath his cloak when four robed legionaries walked forth from the thronged forum around him. The acolytes brought with them some wretches in chains, bloodied, but unbowed. They were unmistakably cthonian sons, marked in various gang tattoos, yet out of place among this ship which had carried them for so long...




"Brother Hecate...would you do us the honor?"

Yisrail's blood felt drained from his body as the voice reached out and all eyes turned towards him.

"I...I have no weapon with which to perform, dear brother."

Ser Targhost regarded him with a cocked head and depressed eyebrow. The knife scar across his mouth looked to be a creeping smile, yet one of hidden knowledge.

"Brother Hecate, we know you served with much distinction upon Isstvaan, why shed your zeal now? Or are you not Hecate? Are you perhaps an imposter?"

The faces of his brother legionaries that had betrayed him on the planet below turned to face him, yet none seemed to bar his presence or leap at him.

"We know you are not Hecate...brother Yisrail...yet you stand as he, and he as you. We thought you traitor to our cause whether by allegiance or alignment, yet you seek the comfort of the Lodge? Come, let us end this and have you show your true loyalty...brother."

The man once known as Yisrail, now baptized Hecate in the furnace of Isstvaan walked forward. He had killed the man in the heat of combat and stolen his armor, passing along as Hecate for the duration of the combat until he left the planet. He had murdered his fellow brothers, on both sides, and was forever damned. There could be no turning back.

"Please step forward brother...what do you know of these two loyalists before me? One seems to think you his erstwhile comrade that had been lost on the planet...

Hecate drew his cutlass with a flash of arterial red sparking from the blade...

"I know nothing...brother Targhost"


The two gold dipped skulls of those he betrayed would be forever chained to his armor. Reminding him of his sin eternally. The man who killed his ideals, his friends, and himself.


I hope you guys enjoy these alternate take on Reavers that I did. I wanted to give a vibe of a barbarian warrior cult that was privy to no particular set of armor, cladding themselves in the armor of the fallen and twisting it in their image.

For the Warmaster.

[depthcharge12]

Also I finished the base for my Leviathan:

[Brother Pheidias]

Awe-inspiringly dark fluff there, fitting to say the least. And all round great work on the Reavers, and that Leviathan, phwoar!

[depthcharge12]

Thanks man! Enjoy these complete Justaerin:

[Lord Blackwood]

Look at these Filthy  Traitorous  Murderin Fantastically painted models !  
 

[depthcharge12]

Thanks bladewolf!









On to basing!

[depthcharge12]

Just need varnish now:

[Rangaman]

I'm glad to see you back in the Warmaster's fold, and I am really digging the grittiness of your work...one thing that bothers me though is the tubes on the front of the torso armour and the doodads on the backpacks behind the head/collar. Besides that though, they look great, you have a really rich, reddish gold going on and the bases look mint!

Hey thanks man! It really bothers me too, but I have no idea what I want to paint them, as I don't want them to overrule the model :/

Do you have any suggestions?

[Brother Pheidias]

To keep those details subtle, just use a light grey, wash black and they're done. I do the cabling metallic, but that's just to offset it from the white I use.
