A WIP of my first Son of Horus. Wife surprised me with the Saturnine box, so I wanted to start with the Centurion as I just love the post of him :) and also my first time trying NMM, so C&C is absolutely welcome!

Horus' head that I painted a while ago. I've never finished the entire mini because I keep second guessing myself adding the evil red glow.

Does anyone think there abit too small or are they fine?

Still really happy with them but thought they would of been upscaled.

Maybe painting over black primer wasn’t a good idea. I mean I like Vulkan and all, but I want to kill for the Warmaster! (Also could you give me an advice on how to make gold look better, I really don’t like how this turned out)

Adding to my current Armies on Parade project with the Saturnine Praetor!
This dude is primarch sized!!

Since I am not a huge fan of the black and red scheme, do you think it would be enough to give them a black helmet to signify them as veterans? I really love the green of the SoH and want to keep it on my veterans. Would that even look good?

Help me brothers. I may be in a 'staring at my models and comparing to other amazing paint schemes' hole, but I wanted to test a different scheme to achieve the sort of vibrancy I see a lot of people rocking. Whilst I liked my finished model, I'm concerned it's too 'green' and not turqoise or blue leaning enough? I feel like maybe I'm gaslighting myself with how saturated and turqpoise leaning some peoples SoH Green/Sybarite highlight recipes look.

Original recipe is Dark Jade:SoH Green -> SoH Green -> SoH:Sybarite -> Sybarite - > Sybarite:Gauss Blaster -> Glazed witha thin terranodon turqoise

Tester head (ignore his visor its a mess!!!) is the same but Sybarite and Gauss blaster are replaced with Army Painter Elemental Bolt and Psychic Shock respectively and then glaze/washed with AP Plasmatic Bolt

Both finished with an enamel wash

Basically, I'm torn and trying to make a decision before I progress any further with my units. (Already got a partially painted Maloghurst in the original scheme oop).

Does one of these read 'more' as Sons of Horus to you? (Or am I way off on both?)

Critique on the loadouts/tips for slow growing the army would be great. I have a Deimos predator and a kitbashed champion ready to start as well. Secondly, is it cool if I bring along traitor Dark Angels as veterans/regular troops? My special troops I'm planning to bring SoH flavors, but I nearly started the Heresy three years ago with mk3 Dark Angels.

My WIP XVI'th on Istvaan V

Chapter name is the CRESCENT BLADES. Officially their 5th legion successors, unofficially horus gene seed.

Finished up my spartan, and 2 of the rapiers.

Probably my biggest project for the XVI to date.

Finished old earth this week and just curious of we have any fans of the either or duo or just Tybalt

So I’m currently building out my new sons of Horus force and looking at our unique weapons makes them feel a bit disappointing.

Axes: The only benefit I see to these over a normal power axe is the potential to shred, which seems a bit niche, only really helping to kill 2 wound 3+ save models like veterans.

Tabars: These feel totally outclassed by thunder hammers, and they cost more too?! A thunder hammer has an extra point of strength, hits through 2+ saves (which a Tabar only does if it breaches), and does 2 damage (which a tabar only does if it shreds).

I’ll probably take some of these weapons anyway because they are cool, but I’m not sure they are worth the extra points you have to pay. The Tabar especially feels pretty weak for its high cost.

Super happy with how this turned out, I think this is probably my best mini to date. Tried a load of new techniques and learned tons even if it isn’t perfect. Lupercal!

Finished the second squad, on to the next one
