Horus Heresy
Angron never had a choice
Content warning: This post contains discussion of trauma and abuse As everyone is surely aware by now, GW has revealed a new model for Angron, Daemon Primarch of the World Eaters. To say I’m excited would be an understatement. The model is, of course, brutally stunning. The design is close to his depiction on the…
Read MoreThe cruelty of the Imperium & Master of Mankind
Aaron Dembski-Bowden is my favourite Warhammer author. I probably don’t need to say that he’s been something of an influence on certain projects of mine, I think everyone who’s wanted to build and paint Night Lords in the past decade owes at least a little bit of that to him. I do want to say…
Read MoreKhârn the Betrayer
Kill! Maim! Burn! This was a fantastic little project. Khârn was the first 40k Character I ever painted, and it was a blast coming back to them in the form of a shiny new model. Aggressive and full of violent momentum, it keeps the aesthetic of Khârn but gives him a more energetic pose. It’s…
Read MoreThousand Sons Legion Tactical Squads
The main portion of the Thousand Sons forces are two 10 strong Tactical Squad, mostly armed with Bolters, but with a few special and heavy weapons. I was sure to add the Legion symbol to their shoulder pad, along with the Tactical Squad symbol and plenty of freehand spread across the armour. The first squad,…
Read MoreThousand Sons Tartaros Terminators
The elite of the Thousands Sons forces are a squad of Terminators, armed with a variety of weapons. Just like Ahriman and the other Thousand Sons, I painted them up in the glossy metallic red of Forge World, which really helps them stand out against any other Space Marines they might face on the table.…
Read MoreThousand Sons Ahzek Ahriman
Standing against the Space Wolves and Talons of the Emperor are the Thousands Sons, the 15th Legion, and leading them is Ahzek Ahriman. A sorcerer of grim reputation in the 41st Millennium, here he stands uncorrupted and noble, defending his home world. I wanted the Thousand Sons to really stand out against the Space Wolves…
Read MoreSpace Wolves Legion Tactical Squad
Finishing off the loyalists side of the Prospero set are the Space Wolves Marines, a 10 strong squad armed with a variety of weapons. I have to say, I much prefer their Heresy scheme to their current 40k one. I like the dark grey armour, painted using Mechanicus Standard Grey and Dawnstone as a highlight…
Read MoreSpace Wolves Geigor Fell-Hand
Leading the Space Wolves side of the Prospero set is Geigor Fell-Hand, an aggressively posed Marine charging towards the enemy with blade drawn and a fierce lightning claw at the ready. This model has quite a few details, like the various wolf pelts, small red gems, and a few trophies mounted to his backpacks icon.…
Read MoreCustodian Guard
The Sisters of Silence are joined by the elite warriors of the Adeptus Custodes, super-humans clad in shinning gold and with the authority of the Emperor himself. Another small squad of very elite warriors, mostly in metallic, this was a good chance to practice how I go about painting gold and an opportunity on how…
Read MoreSisters of Silence
Kicking off the recently finished Burning of Prospero commission are the Talons of the Emperor, starting with the Silent Sisterhood. While I’ve painted a squad of these ladies before, I wanted to paint this squad up more in line with the box art from GW. That meant more of a burnished bronze and purple capes.…
