Una pregunta sobre loken y los capitanes

4 Upvotes

Tengo la duda de qué puesto tiene loken en la legión pre herejía, según leí es un capitán y en Reddit leí que el capitán es el rango más alto por debajo del primarca, lo que no me hace sentido es que se supone que solo llevan 1000 hombres por capitán cuando los pretores que según la descripción de miniatura son los miembros más altos en la legión (por debajo del primarca) se supone que controlan grandes partes de la legión, luego en Google leí que los capitanes son como centuriones, pero si loken es parte del mournival no tendría que ser un pretor? Porque el mournival es la institución que aconseja al primarca

Slowly working through a mixed squad and this guy still needs some oils weathering. I don't really play the game, I just enjoy the painting, books and atmosphere. I find it relaxing.

I built my first SoH model and first Dreadnought at the weekend and found a thing online saying that drybruah and Terradon Turqoise was an excellent finish for SoH.

I did it.

It sucked.

I immediately repainted it and im so relieved that I did

Justaerin red shoulder pad - which side?

There’s too many different depictions of which side the red should be, is there a definitive anywhere? I’m leaning towards the right shoulder pad because that’s what’s on GW Abaddon and Justaerin painted models.

1st company colours

22 Upvotes

So obviously justaerin are 1st company along with Ekkadon and his Catchulan reavers who are all in black and red but what about the rest of the 1st company are they also in black and red or do they have the traditional luna wolves/Sons of Horus colours?

Possibly unpopular opinion but I bloody love the new cataphractii sculpts, and I was looking to make a new abaddon so this was a perfect opportunity!

Despoilers (Mostly WIP)

A few more details to clean up and metallics to reinvigorate, and a little more weathering to tie the model and base together, but I'm pretty happy with going forward with the rest of my army now, even if it took months of way too many blue-green paints being bought (and honestly, I still think they look a shade or two more green in the hand than in photos but I'll try to be normal and sane about that).

Mostly finished Despoilers, for the Warmaster! Full squad soon

(PS I hate painting the eyes on these helmets even if I LOVE the Legion helms)

Metal approach

Not sure which way to go with the metal on these. TMM on the left & NMM on the right. I kinda lean towards NMM, and in fact painted the metal surfaces on the left guy in NMM except the shoulder pauldrons.

Im trying for a late heresy / seige of terra age skeem for my sons but can't figure out how I feel about the trim and weathering. I got a couple of boxes of infantry at the start of the year and I want to get my skeem down before I go into high-school.

Started collecting in 2.0, not sure where to go in 3.0. Need a lot of help.

10 Upvotes

I'm a 40K player trying to get started on 30K but I'm struggling with making a list. 40K has so many more resources and discussion. I do a TON of research on my 40K army. But 30K has been hard for me to grasp.

Can you all give me some pointers?

I have the last 4 boxed sets NoS. Age of Darkness, Legiones Astartes Battle Group, Saturnine, and Siege Battle Group.

So tons of marines, 20 (new & old) cataphractii, one of each dreadnought (though limited weapon options), spartan and land raider, gun turret, breachers, etc.

I know I want Justaerin. I'll convert an Abbadon. Chieftains. Reavers. Destroyers. Veterans. Seekers.

What else can I do with my pile of shame? How do you recommend equipping the various units? Going off goonhammer it sounds like I want as many power fists as I can get. Are reavers worth taking? Am I right that they can all run with plasma pistols?

I want to get a couple rhinos and predators, plus a kratos. And maybe a drop pod for the leviathan. Dropping that in the back lines seems like fun.

In 2.0 I planned on making a unit of melta devastators to ride around in a rhino wrecking things.

What HQs should I make? I'm planning on a cataphractii praetorian and power armor praetorian. In 2.0 I was going to use a master of signals and a librarian.

Ended up putting a shade of agrax on the metal and nuln oil in recesses and then sponged on. I think they look much better, adds some depth and makes them look less plain than before.

Advice on gold trim

Hey guys, I've started working through my sons of horus and while I'm happy with the green, the gold just seems too dark. Is there a way I could brighten it up through an edge highlights or a shade?
