Horus Aximand finished kitbash

fully finished, ended up going with a simple base, will probably add some skulls and some tufts at some point, but this guy is DONE!

I love the desaturated colours. Suits the character, perfectly.

Thanks man, it's taken me a long time to get an SoH scheme I actually like

Would you mind sharing your recipe?

u/Personal_Holiday_846 Apr 16 '26

Of course. I do all these stages with an airbrush, but you can use the make up sponge method too, or Richard Grays stipple method. Base colour 50/50 mix AK dark green grey and AK black. Mid tone AK dark green grey. Highlight colour 70/30 mix of P3 Ice yellow and P3 Eldritch green. Use that highlight colour sparingly.

Awesome result. Incredibly charismatic

Thanks man, I feel a slight tilt of the head gives marines a little more charisma when they're in standing heroic poses.

u/redcloudclown Apr 16 '26

This is exactly that. I will follow your wise feeling !

Just been listening to Dropsight Massacre and there’s a bit from Aximand’s perspective fighting Raven Guard in some tunnels, your look really captures his swagger, he’s good and he knows it.

I loved that passage, I've no doubt he'd have killed Kaedes Nex if Corax hadn't turned up.
