228th strike force Sons of Horus "The Daumutef Retrievers"

[sarabando]

not a problem :) i like the questions. i like to do a few thinner coats of gloss, let it dry then oils let them dry then gloss. Then i go over and finish up the mini with any other bits then gloss and matt

[Yosef Hausakluif]

Awesome! Thanks for the step by step help. The dusty weathered battle grime affect is something I’m interested in and you’ve really achieved that look on your models. I’ll post up some models of my own in a separated thread once I am able! Can’t wait to see what comes next for your Sons of Horus!

[Lucerne]

random lore nitpick: the twins are a secret of the Alpha Legion so Dorn wouldn't know about them :p

[bluntblade]

I love this. You've put oodles of character into your boys.

[sarabando]

Thanks guys.

Stripped an old mkV dread that i had since 4th/5th edition which i picked up for my Preheresy emperors children then it got a repaint for sons of medusa. Little splash of iso later and shes redone in the colours of the warmaster.

[Bjorn Firewalker]

The Dreadnought is well-painted, weathered, and detailed. I don't see Legion symbols on him. Do his colors alone serve to ID his Legion and his Primarch, i.e., the Dreadnought is saying, "The gold-trimmed turquoise armor should make it obvious I am a Son of Horus, you ignoramus!"

[sarabando]

I just stripped a mini from like 2004 you think im able to afford FW decal prices ? XD

Breacher shields, MK V plate, and chain axes are brutal! They make a great visual combination and really shout ‘don’t mess with us!’ Edited May 11, 2020 by Yosef Hausakluif

[Bjorn Firewalker]

Their armor looks heavily weathered, muddy and/or rusty. Are these Sons of Horus pledged to Nurgle?

[bluntblade]

As ever, I dig the amount of character you've put into these lads

just chipped and weathered. its supposed to be a red oxide style primer showing under the green armour paint.

[sarabando]

Next wave of reinforcements have arrived.

 

 

Firstly a Praevian just waiting on his mechanical companions.

 

a test mini for some mkII files i found online

 

first veteran marine 90% printed inspired by some of the artwork in the old collected visions book.

 

and 2 out of the 3 speeders i need for my list.

[No Foes Remain]

Thats a cool kitbash on those speeders, in the name of the Warmaster I shall borrow that for my Sons of Horus. Yes... Borrow.

[Bjorn Firewalker]

Excellent work. May I ask why you mounted the missile launchers atop the Land Speeder roofs, instead of under the wings? So the launchers may rotate, like the Airwolf's All Direction Firing (ADF) pod? Or do the launchers telescope to let the Speeders fire from behind cover/concealment, like that of the M901?

[Chaplain Mollusc]

Your painting is quite good as always. Were the second and third images both printed parts? Also, are these fellows dedicates of Slaanesh? Because with that pose, I can't help seeing that melta-wielding marine prancing and skipping through battle.

just liked the look of them being on top and i see them more like FFAR rather than missiles.

 

As for printed parts they are the following

 

Praevian - head, pack, hands

MKII - everything except the gun

Vet - Everything except the gun left arm and pouches

speeders - missiles and parts of the crew. 

[sarabando]

a unit of heavy bolter heavy support marines have entered the field to supplement the firepower of their armistos.

 

 

 

And some veteran sarges for different squads.

[Bjorn Firewalker]

Excellent work.

[sarabando]

 

Heavy support has been deployed.

[Bjorn Firewalker]

The Vindicator is well-painted and weathered, but why doesn't it bear Legion markings or identifiers?

[sarabando]

Because I'm a cheap skate/FW really thinks they can charge £20 for a sheet of decals

[sarabando]

This month i rescued some terminators from my stale deathguard 40k army and filled and repaired them.

 

Repaired and stripped a Sons of Medusa Rhino that I've had since 4th edition and picked up two more to add in. One has the parts to swap between regular and command rhino.

 

again with the stripping, i stole some attack bikes from my Emperors children for the Warmaster.

 

 

another deathguard defector means i have this hugely tall centurion.

 

and lastly i added a Navigator with cyber familiar to the warband.

[Yosef Hausakluif]

Great additions all! Sometimes the best things come out of editing and ‘stealing’ or repurposed models from other projects and squads!

(And truly cool and unique take on the Navis Nobolite Navigator model conversion)
