I really like the Horus Heresy books and would really like to game that with the forge world miniatures, maybe this thread is the eye candy I need!

Don't forget the millions of euros you will also need lol

The Horus Heresy books (for the most part) are the only worthwhile thing GW has put out in the past 10 years.  Hell, I'd even consider playing it with some Forgeworld models and a different rules set.  Nice mini!

Great paintwork, Agis. I've read the "Flight of the the Eisenstein" some weeks ago and I'm still hooked up on it.

Looking forward to more, keep it going.

Great pj, Agis! Look forward to follow this thread :)

@Prof:
You're in for a treat then! The first 6 novels are rather good, with Legion being my particular favourite. You can skip the Dark Angel books though, they're rather poorly written.

That's what the guys told me, too.

The whole series is of variable worth.

Pretty much everyone agrees that the first five are the best, after that opinion seems to be divided on most, but some are liked by most: Legion, First Heretic, A Thousand Sons and Prospero Burns being my particular favourites but others may disagree.

Looking forward to seeing Agis' take on this theme as his painting style will suit the subject matter very well.

The best for meare the 1st 2 books, Fulgrim and A Thousand Sons. Plus the Garro novellas. (Or should I say Audiollas?)  ;)
The recent "Angel Exterminatus" was also very good for me. I just love Fulgrims vanity!

Prospero Burns was a big disappointment for me. Dan is IMO getting a bit carried away in his latest books, while Graham gets better and better!

I do agree. And the Angel Extirminatus also had some grim Iron Warriors and Iron Hands. A book that contains the two sourest chapters can't be anything than good ;)

Next one done...

After showing the pics in of the initial posting I received a lot of requests about a small tutorial. Normally I really do not like to write about how I paint my minis, since there is NOTHING special. Just all the techniques that are explained over and over on the net anyway.

But - here we go:

Read the rest here ->> http://www.adpublishing.de/html/death_guard.html

Have fun!

Nice tutorial.

As for doing 'nothing special' I am glad that I read it as I had never considered powders on a mini.... ::)

Thanks for the tips, Agis, much appreciated.
 :)

@ Mason:

Agreed. It wouldn't have occurred to me to put decals or highlights on after the weathering either.

Good stuff Agis (as always! ;) ), thanks for sharing.
