Before reading the excellent Horus Heresy Novel “ Flight of the the Eisenstein” I always disliked the Death Guard. To be honest the whole Chaos gods - and the Lord of Decay in particular - idea of 40K is not appealing at all to me. The Horus Heresy books changed that a lot. I really liked the way Garro acted and even more in the following short stories centred on him.
So when Forge World previewed the Death Shroud Terminators I was hooked. So time for a start - 1st test minis painted.
(http://www.adpublishing.de/HH_DG_Test_1.jpg)
I will use the minis also when playtesting my Victory Decision SciFi rules, so expect a lot more in the next months.
I was also positively surprised how well the HH Marines Mk III scales up next to a Forge World Imperial Guard. The Marine DOES look big enough!

To be fair that is quite a nice mini although I am certainly not a GW/FW fan, the paint however is lovely. Great colour choices and execution. Now get some more done.
-
I am on it! ;)
-
Gorgeous. I'm all about Death Guard in 40k to be honest. Pre and Post-Heresy. You got the termies too then? Looking forward to seeing more. :D
-
You got the termies too then? Looking forward to seeing more. :D
Not yet, but I think I will eventually get me Mortarion and his Death Shroud Bodyguard, all mounted in a Spartan Assault tank...
:)
-
Wonderful paintwork on that :-*
I do like the size difference between them 8)
cheers

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!
Beautiful painting as always Agis!
-
Superb Agis! The Heresy period is very tempting.
-
Very nice, is there going to be more?
-
I remember reading Garro's back story way back in the space marine (first edition epic) rulebook.. Flight of the eisenstein brought this to life and when the viral bombs hit it was a genuinely emotional moment.
Lovely painting Agis as ever. The price tag of forge world stuff will always preclude me from getting any in any number, but ive plenty of old school minis to work on.
Keep em coming mate.
-
Very nice, is there going to be more?
Absolutely, a Dreadnought and a tanks are already primed and partly painted.
4 more Marines and an Apothecary are being built.
-
Apothecary? Voyen I supposed. Do you plan to paint Iacton Qruze too?
Olivier
-
They look nice, but the excessive price of Forge World kit will always put me off. :(
-
Great stuff, Agis, beautiful paintwork!
:-*
I admit that each of the HH novels (all of them except Abyss) that I have read has given me several ideas for projects in the 40k universe.
I did have a Death Guard army many years ago and will always have a soft spot for them, so I will be following this thread avidly and let you do all the hard work and pretend they are mine.
That way I dont have to buy/make/paint anything but can get the feeling that I have.
:D
Thank you, Agis!
-
Apothecary? Voyen I supposed. Do you plan to paint Iacton Qruze too?
Haven't thought about it, but Voyen would make sense.
:)

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.
-
... I've read the "Flight of the the Eisenstein" some weeks ago and I'm still hooked up on it.
Nice coincidence!!!
-
Nice coincidence!!!
yes :) Blame to Westfalia Chris and Lt.Hazel, they infected me with the HH virus. Now starting reading of "Fulgrim".
-
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.
-
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.
-
fantastic painting, looks great
-
You've just made my week Agis :D
"Count the seven!"
;)
-
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...
(http://www.adpublishing.de/assets/images/HH_DG_Test_2a.jpg)
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:
(http://www.adpublishing.de/HH_DG_HT2.jpg)
Read the rest here ->> http://www.adpublishing.de/html/death_guard.html (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.
-
Really nice!
These HH miniatures are really great (most of them)... Too bad they cost an arm and a leg...
Compared to forgeworld prices collecting Rogue Trader era miniatures is almost cheap ::)
-
The first half squad is now finished; one Marine carries the Nuncio-vox, one the Legion Vexilla.

Great paint.

-
Lovely :) However,Agis I have a problem with your marines; you have made me go to the Forge World site and buy stuff,more stuff... lol
-
Fantastic work Agis. I kinda got stuck on Fulgrim and didn't read past that one. This makes me want to try again!
-
I just got done rereading the Gaunts ghosts books. Guess I need to pic up the Horus Heresy now.
-
Thanks guys.
And yes - FW is darn expensive, but lets face it - most of us are having a huge lead/ plastic pile anyway. If we would just buy the minis we paint, we could easily afford FW.
;) ;)
-
funny thing is here in NZ it's cheaper to buy FW than GW stuff lol :'(

Well - looking at the latest GW releases, that sounds like a blessing!
;)
When seeing then new Dark Angel flying church I was really amazed how they can screw up so immense while at the same time FW pumps out month after month good designs.
-
They have a nice John Blanche feel to them. :)

I had to go and look when you said that... What a load of tosh ::). The land speeder with the pulpit is even worse.
Anyway...
Loverly figures as usual :-* :-*

Next painted model, a Deimos pattern Predator tank, armed with Autocannon and sponson mounted Lascannons. The Lascannons are fully magnetised to make swaps with Heavy Bolters possible.

Also some news from the “print on demand” version of Gear Krieg, layout is over 40% done. I will finish it over the weekend, then cover work, spine and off we go to the test print. After approval the book will go live. End of February might be realistic!
-
Very nice work all round on both the troops and the tank.
-
That is something special :-*
cheers
James
-
Cracking :-*
-
Im usually really, really bored by the whole GW Space Marine aesthetic thing, but these are very pleasing to the eyes.
Damned good work.
-
:o
Bloody gorgeous!
Love the subtle weathering.

As noted before, I was also working on a Contemptor Dread...
(http://www.adpublishing.de/assets/images/DG_Contemptor_1.jpg)
The Melta and Fist are fully magnetised and the shoulder part is pinned and movable to make weapon swaps possible.
FW model, transfers and brass etched parts.

Another top rendition :)
A lot of people aren't keen on this dreadnought design but I really like it... and it suits the 'upright' nature of the marines you are painting as well.
-
Brill! That tank and Dreadnought are top notch!
-
I really like the Contemptor (far better than the Slient Running throwback :? ) and you've made that extra bit special :-* :-*
Love the weathering in the legs 8)
cheers
James
-
As with the Marines, this is great, great job indeed :o. I love your use of the colours.
-
Great stuff, Agis!
I am one of those that does not really like the model, just not sure about it, but that does not take away from your excellent paintjob.
The weathering is spot on, as usual.
:-* :-*
-
Superb stuff Agis!
I think that you really captured the Horus Heresy style. :-*

Eisenstein Coverboy - The mini below is my attempt to convert a Marine with the look of the Marine from the “Flight of the Eisenstein” novel cover.

+ Honestly - absolutely NOT.
I really dislike NMM, source lightning, flame blast, fumes etc etc etc on minis, too busy for me!
It is one of those signs that I am getting old and are no more in the moot of the current rage.
-
I'm with you Agis on effects on miniatures and I must say yours don need an additional embellishments - as ever simply superb!

It's really outstanding!

Gorgeous, perfect look for Pre-Heresy. :)
-
Love the captain! I also love all the little painted details and badges - it looks much more like the artwork style, which is great IMO.
-
Every time I view this thread, my fondness for these marines grows. I don't think I'm out of place saying these are my favorite Space Marines to date, and I've been around GW stuff for about 15 years.
I love the Horus Heresy, your models and paintjobs are simply sublime. So crisp, clean, and awesome. Keep up the great work.
-
After a small hiatus again a picture.
(http://www.adpublishing.de/assets/images/Nathaniel_Garro_2.jpg)
Nathaniel Garro wearing a mixture of Mk III and IV armour and his sword libertas.
Some info on the mini: it is of course based on the SM mini from the Master of the Chapter box. Since the PF would be not fitting and Garro often wears Mk IV armour I used a suitable hand and helmet. I then added an Aquila to a MkIV backpack and repositioned the head. The idea is to have him wear a prototype armour.

Dang it! Your doing your best to make me want to buy Forge World aren't you. He looks great!
-
Great work, Agis.
Very stern and regal.
:-*

excellent work Agis! :-*
We'll need a family groupshot soon! :P
I am normally a fantasy fanboy, but I have to admit that Horus Heresy FW stuff is a real temptetion. Those sculpts are awesome and the HH story is really cool to me.
-
Great work, spectacular paintjob! :-*
-
Thanks Folks, groupshot will follow soon. 8)

I've just found this thread and have really enjoyed looking at your fantastic work. Although I'm not generally impressed by the stuff GW's been doing in the last few years, I think that FW's output gets better and better and you've only reinforced that view (though I understand that you've done a fair bit of converting!). I look forward to seeing more.

Precisely. The only worthwhile thing GW puts out now are some of their Horus Heresy books. That coupled with Forgeworld's infinitely better take on GW's IP imagery, and the end result is the most interesting thing in a long time.
I'm actively pursuing selling off any GW tainted products that I own, but this thread is incredible. If "this" is what 40K was (and the rules are 10x better) I'd actually still be playing it. Brilliant work.
-
I am thanking of picking some of these guys up and just use some other skirmish rule set instead.

interesting, could be my cup of tea too. Wich rules set are you going to use pal?
-
I was thinking of maybe trying a game of blasters and bulkheads or maybe USE ME rules. Haven't put to much thought into it yet.
Any suggestions would be welcome :D
-
Well for me it is obviously Victory Decision : Planetfall.
Draft is done and playtesting can start, so the Marines might get a game...
10- 15 Marines are in fact more or less a full force in Planetfall...
-
Oh cool, Would like to see a write up when/if you play a game.

The III rd Legion - Emperors Children
(http://www.adpublishing.de/assets/images/Fulgrim-3.jpg)
As with the Death Guard I totally dislike 40K EC. Way to colourful and queer for my taste (well as long as a tabletop army is concerned). ;)
The way they are presented in the Heresy novel is a different thing, very much to my liking. A warrior brotherhood sworn to achieve martial perfection with a vain leader who constantly is doing the wrong thing out of often good reasons.
So when the opportunity was there to get a decent painted Heresy style EC army, I had to jump at it. So when Peter Zuidgeest of Scars was selling his army we quickly reached an agreement, roughly 2/3 of his force was sold to the US and I took the rest.
(http://www.adpublishing.de/EC-1.jpg)
As you can see the minis are very nicely done with some cool Source lightning effects. But still I wanted to change something. The freehand numbering is a bit sloppy IMO for a Legion so vain. The bases are IMO a bit too distracting for rank and file trooper.
So I changed the minis to look like the mini below. Only a subtle difference, but more to my liking. And as strange as it sounds - now it is really MY mini. So within the next weeks you will see some more EC from me!
(http://www.adpublishing.de/assets/images/EC-1AN.jpg)
OK, on to Fulgrim, not only one of my favourite Primarchs, the FW mini is just too good to be missed!

I am with you on the 40K EC being more than a little 'naff', but Heresy era EC are great.
That Fulgrim model is stunning.
This is going to be a truly beautiful army when finished.

You have an interesting approach to painting, I love the results. Nice project too, the Heresy is a cool 'period' and Forge World was clever to have started it.

To be fair, I think the Tempus Fugitives (and Stuart Mackenass in particular) proved its popularity, backed by sales of Red Scorpions for conversion purposes.

In light of the popularity of the novels it was more or less a no-brainer...
::)
I can't actually understand GW that they did not capitalize on their IP!

Gotta agree with you Agis.
I have to admit that every time I read a new novel I feel the 'itch' to do some 30K.
It is only that I would never use them that stops me.
So far.....
-
Lovely stuff, finaly forced myself to buy some of these minis. One question tho about what I notised on all of the forgeworld dreadnoughts, Would they have had purity seals at that time?

YES, they just call them "Oath of Moment!".

I generally do that when I stub my toe, but don't feel the need to cover myself with confetti afterwards lol

Hi again,
(http://www.adpublishing.de/assets/images/EC_Heavy_Support_Squad.jpg)
And the effect of the “Agisfication” on a Heavy Support Squad. Again bases changed, transfers applied, banner repainted, metal effects added, some retouches here and there.
BTW - I have to say that Peters Light effects are absolutely top notch, he even takes into account that the targeting system of the 2 running Marines are still unlit! Very nice details and clever posing.
(http://www.adpublishing.de/EC_Apothecary.jpg)
And a mini painted all by myself... ;)
Apothecary Crassus in his Mk IV Armour, please note the squad number “728” on the Geneseed tube. Crassus is currently assigned to Tactical Squad 728.
(http://www.adpublishing.de/assets/images/EC_Troop_Support_Squad.jpg)
WIP - Tactical Support Squad. Peter sold me a 10 Marine Tactical Squad using the 40K Codex. Consequently he included 1 Meltagun and a Heavy Plasma Cannon. The melta Marine is the nucleus of a Tactical Support Squad.

(http://www.adpublishing.de/assets/images/EC_Fast_Land_Speeder3.jpg)
Of all 3 versions of the Marine Land Speeder I always like the chunky full metal 2nd edition one the most. Since I still had one around I bribed Peter to paint one for me.
(http://www.adpublishing.de/assets/images/EC_Fast_Land_Speeder2.jpg)
Splendid work from him as usual, I only had to apply some transfers do some some weathering and the basing. The original Flamer broke off during transport which pushed me into the right direction to mount and paint a Heavy Bolter.
More as usual: http://www.adpublishing.de/html/emperors_children.html (http://www.adpublishing.de/html/emperors_children.html)

These are some very nice sculpts with some great paintwork.

Awesome stuff! Its a really nice sculpt too and just goes to show what GW can do when they put their mind to it and not cover it in skulls either!
All the best!

Very nice. :D
That's a nice PJ on the Techpriest too.

BTW - Have any of you seen the new Space Marines from GW? Absolutely horrible and toylike... :( :`
-
Lovely work on lovely models. The marines are nice, but the mechanicus stuff is nicer. They deserve their own thread ;)
Very nice, I have a soft spot for Mechanicus.
Yeah me too. Nothing says "Future Dark Age" quite like those guys.
The Forge World Mechanicus Castellax robot that is due out soon looks great too, although Im not certain that I like the new, snail-like tech-priest. All the same, its the Ad Mech stuff that has me bracing myself for a Forge World order one of these days.
Im looking forward to seeing more.
-
...although Im not certain that I like the new, snail-like tech-priest.
Agreed, absolutely NOT my thing... ::)
But always better than this:
(http://i1.minus.com/iAbKwMdDVCSsZ.jpg)
Seems to be SM Centurions for the next Codex.
-
But always better than this:
Its a shame to sully your nice thread with ridiculous photos like that Agis. Plenty of vitriol about those figures in this thread (http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=56907.0) already :)
I try not to get involved in GW bashing - I just buy the things that I like and ignore the rest - but the toy-like aesthetic for the marines has been getting progressively worse since the Stormraven. The smaller flyer that came out last year is awful and these guys ("Centurions" is it?) suck.
I dont like those figures, but I do think that a couple of minor changes and a less absurd paint scheme could make them in to good industrial space miners. Like something from Star Mogul. But at that price, I dont myself doing it any time soon.
-
Damn, missed the linked thread...

True, I'll wait untill they turn up on EBay to scavenge one of those rock drills.

Those new mechanical critters are among my favourite mechs ever made. Just love the design. Could be usable for pulp even, with a gun swap.

Superb work! Those robots really fit in with the retro stuff. :-*

Oh, those robots look great. I'd totally missed that robots had been reintroduced to 40k.

Lovely paint jobs on some surprisingly good models.
I hate that you're more productive than me lol

Fantastic. They look great with that classic old Techy too. :o

Very nice, I have always been tempted by the Adeptes Mechanicus, but fortunately don't like the system, mind you might be able to use one of the robots.
-
Sorry, no update last week, I had to set up my new PC. But I still painted something...
I just can’t stop it - again more - Adeptus Mechanicus

Tres cool Agis!
I really don't want to game GW anymore, but if I did ...
-
Gorgeous!
:-* :-*
.....what 40K could have been ;)
Sadly, this is probably spot on.
These Forgeworld new releases are certainly making me sit up and take notice, though.
:D
-
And there is zero reason you can't game the universe with a wholly different game system of your choosing. I'd be more than happy to game some Forgeworld Horus Heresy stuff as long as you don't bugger it up with actual 40K rules. lol

I finally painted my 1st Death Guard Terminator and some more Emperors Children.

Absolutely. The purple is really nice and the painting is so very crisp. Lovely.

Just for the fun of it some old OOP Epic scale minis...
(http://www.adpublishing.de/Epic_EC_2.jpg)
I am really proud of the really old plastic Contemptor Dread and Land Speeder.
(http://www.adpublishing.de/assets/images/Epic_EC_1.jpg)
And since some of the younger gamer don’t know Epic a normal scaled Marine besides...
-
That old plastic dreadnought was always really nice.
When the first walking sarcophagus dread was first released I was disgusted that it didnt look like that little guy. The newer (that is, twenty year old) design grew on me, but that one is still my favourite.
Great work as ever :)
-
Yum, at all scales! ;)
-
Old school EPIC was a pretty fun game...man they screwed that pooch. :?
-
I've got shed loads of epic, loved Adeptus Titanicus and space marine. Agis: where are the bases you've used from?
-
Looks like the small FOW bases.
-
Are those numbers on the 28mm fellow painted on? Tell me that's a decal! o_o
-
Is anyone else having issues viewing the images in this page? I was able to view them a couple of weeks back, but now they're not loading. Also clicking on the http://www.adpublishing.de/ link doesn't help, as it doesn't load.
-
Are those numbers on the 28mm fellow painted on? Tell me that's a decal! o_o
Look like cadian transfers but I might be doing my good friend Agis a disservice. ;)
-
Your painting is scary good (has been for years)!
I really like the whites and purples in those last few pics. :-*
-
Great use of purple, sir.
:-*
-
Sorry for answering a bit late, I was on a 10day vacation.
I finally had the time to work on Planetfall!
I've got shed loads of epic, loved Adeptus Titanicus and space marine. Agis: where are the bases you've used from?
It is indeed small Flames of War bases!

These are all Decals, some are from the Cadian Transfer sheet, while others are from the big (expensive) and very good Forge World Death Guard sheet.
-
I was going to mention how much I loved the Epic stuff I saw on your site. I have been going back and revisting my epic from time to time. I have a little force of Imperial Fists queued up at the moment with basically those same models but add some bikes and robots and a few land raiders.
Man now I want to do full on small Heresy forces.
-
Thanks! More soon. ;)
One of the points I will always fail to understand is GWs marketing strategy.
They could make a fortune with a 15mm Heresy Game, just imagine all the FoW craze and add the Horus Heresy IP!
-
Another “Small” update - A Emperors Children Epic Land Raider.
(http://www.adpublishing.de/assets/images/Epic_EC_3_LR.jpg)
Classic plastic Land Raider, now known as Proteus LR. I also added some more tiny Details to the Rhino, please note the small headlights!
;)
-
Nice, Agis! :-*
-
Really lovely :).
-
awesome.

Some more 30K stuff, next week more Victory Decision Planetfall related generic SF minis!
(http://www.adpublishing.de/assets/images/Aquila_HE.jpg)
Pretty much the same techniques as on the Marine statue.

Emperors Children on the Aquila...

Bionic Arms and Legs by Anvilindustries, all the rest by Forge World
And a new section on my website: http://www.adpublishing.de/html/iron_hands.html (http://www.adpublishing.de/html/iron_hands.html)
The Iron Hands chapter came to my attention when reading the fantastic Fulgrim novel by Graham McNeal. The story of there steadfast Primarch Ferrus Manus was much to my liking. More or less by accident I painted two minis in their colours using the really good conversion parts of Anvilindustires. Since I was delighted how fast I could paint them I finished 5 Marines. At that time the first FW Iron Hands previews came around - and whuups - I was hooked!
(http://www.adpublishing.de/assets/images/IH_Tactical.jpg)
More pics on my website!!!
-
The Emperor's Children was great, but these Iron Hands are just more in my taste! Really awesome job on converting and painting!
-
They look great :-* :-*
Seamless appearance between FW and AI. Are they made from the same sort of resin?
cheers
James
-
Thanks folks!
Seamless appearance between FW and AI. Are they made from the same sort of resin?
The quality of the AI resin castings is IMO BETTER than FW!
Less flash - more or less non-existent - and less bendy.
I can only recommend AI, they also have a very good response time and are generous if something was shipped wrong.
-
These are some wonderful additions to the project, Agis.
Great blending of parts with a lovely paintjob to bring them all together.
Classy!

I've been looking at their stuff for a well. The spec ops are nice
Those iron hands: single piece legs or the multi-part ones?

How do you do it, Agis...?
-
Those iron hands: single piece legs or the multi-part ones?
I used the single piece legs. They are a fantastic fit!
How do you do it, Agis...?
With patience, an understanding wife and a still not shaking hand (turning 53 this year this might change in the foreseeable future...)! ;)
-
Stunning work, sir, I'm totally amazed! They are great! :-* :o
-
loved the ec, but these iron hands are so much nicer! love em!
-
They look great! I'll put in another positive vote for Anvil.
-
Some more Horus Heresy Emperors Children.
(http://www.adpublishing.de/assets/images/EC_Heavy_Plasma_Support_Squad.jpg)
Again the effect of the “Agisfication” on a Heavy Support Squad. Again bases changed, transfers applied, banner repainted, metal effects added, some retouches here and there. The legs of the kneeling Marines are from Anvil Industries.
-
cracking Job :-* :-* i find Purple very difficult to paint nicely.What was the Basecolor used for these Guys?Hormagant Purple perhaps?
May i ask how you painted the OSL on the Guns,Glazing or Airbrush ???

Nice painting but who sculpted the figs so that their heads are coming out of their chests? The fellow with the bare head looks very odd.

I finally came around to finish my next Primarch - Angron. An good opportunity to give the World Eaters their own section. Also new are some Epic scale Iron Hands.
(http://www.adpublishing.de/Angron_Scenic_2.jpg)
As with most Chaos Legions I only started to like them while reading the Horus Heresy Novels. The brutes of 40K are not my thing, the savage but noble warriors of 30K who followed their hyper- aggressive Primarch Angron no matter what are more to my liking.
(http://www.adpublishing.de/Angron_1.jpg)
The awesome Forge World model of Angron tempted me even more. For Angron I tried a look of a truly aggressive warrior who did not care at all about his armour or appearance. So old school metal effects, some rust and a slightly dirty look.
(http://www.adpublishing.de/assets/images/World_Eater_Assault_Marine.jpg)
The Assault Marine is a FW MkII model with an axe from Anvil Industries, I simply like their axes more.
More -> http://www.adpublishing.de/html/world_eater.html (http://www.adpublishing.de/html/world_eater.html)
I recently started an EPIC Armageddon side project. I always loved EPIC A since its release and think that the huge battles of the Heresy just need to be also played in EPIC! I plan to paint an Emperors Children and an Iron Hands army. Below is a Tactical squad (repaint of my Black Templars, therefore the Missile Launcher) with Rhino and a Sicaran tank. The Sicaran is a private sculpt of a fellow enthusiast and not commercially available.

Ive been eyeballing Joe's stuff (Anvil) for while now. Nice to see painted versions

Very nice.
I am still not sure if I am going to use them in a Terminator setting or as Adeptus Mechanicus Tech Thralls.
Why not both. :D
-
Very nice.
Why not both. :D
TRUE, ;) the difference is the colour choice, for Terminator I would not use the deep red...
-
Those Anvil miniatures look fantastic, but everything on this thread is beautiful.
I actually avoid this thread sometimes as it makes think about all sorts of ridiculous Space Marine painting plans that I havent attempted since about 1990 or so. Siren call indeed.
Wonderful and inspiring work Agis.
-
Wonderful smooth and subtle paintwork as usual.
:-* :-*
I would go the AdMech route with the robots.
It just seems 'right' to me.
:)

Next addition, an EPIC scale Fellblade!

True, it is a shame that GW did not support EPIC Armageddon with a dedicated Horus Heresy game.
IMO they would do even better with a 15mm game like FoW!

yup, 15mm would be a better scale for 40K, the background is pretty good, they just totally lost their way trying to make it a large battle game in 28mm when it was best suited to skirmish games at that scale, that and the rules don't match the fluff.

Absurdly good...and reminds me how much I loved the old school marines...(still available in blisters back when I started). Studded shoulder pads and much cooler helmets, etc.

The Thousand Sons are one of my favorite chapters of the Heresy Era.
After buying the new GW game Execution Forces I decided pretty fast after seeing the dreadful Chaos Marines in the box that I wanted 3 30k TS Marines as opponents for the Assassins.
So here they are.
(http://www.adpublishing.de/assets/images/Thousand_Sons_1.jpg)
More infos and pics on my Website: http://www.adpublishing.de/html/thousand_sons.html

I have been really out of the loop... I had no idea GW released the Calth game and 30K figures in plastic....

" Things have always been strange
But we hate to see them change
For change brings growth
And all that grows must die!
Treachery surrounds us
Below
within
and all around us
Betrayal even takes to wing
in the sky!
There is no pause to rest
No mercy in this dreadful test
That means it's always best
To Keep an
EYE out
For the unseen
Keep an eye out
For what's written between
When loyalty is betrayal
You must betray to stay true!
For the truth is woven from the very lies
That your own eye tells to you!
Your own father might desert you
Send your brother
to down-in-the-dirt you
This universe longs to pervert you
But it's ALWAYS

That will hurrrrrrt Yooouuuuuuuuu!

They did rip the miniature sculpt from the Heresy art so not a surprise.

Great, more TS content! That's a nice rendition of the Crimson King indeed. If maybe a tad too small and boney? Cool paintjob nonetheless.
Pretty much looking forward to the Forgeworld version (here's hope Magnus' garish 40k incarnation is nothing to go by).

As soon as the HH Prospero Box arrived I just had to paint a SiS. I always like the SiS and their strange background. The great Graham McNeill immortalised them in his novel "A Thousand Sons " - IMO one of the best Horus Heresy books!
(http://www.adpublishing.de/assets/images/SoS_1.jpg)
The model is really good, not just good, really good. The picture below with my 15 years old SoB models clearly show the way GW (and also my painting) have come. It also shows the famous scale and base size creep... ;)
(http://www.adpublishing.de/SoS_3.jpg)
As far as painting is concerned, I wanted a clean gold look. More or less like described in GWs paint booklet. For the head I wanted a more battle worn look, the Sisters is in service on Prospero so no time to daily shave her head, therefore the darker look. Hope you like it.
More on my site: http://www.adpublishing.de/html/sisters_of_silence.html
-
She looks really good the the stubble effect on her head is a very nice touch.
-
Gorgeous paintwork. Not my favourite minis of the new box, but cool to see them branching out (and giving players a lot of avenues etc.)
-
That is a lovely smooth and stylish paintjob on the big lass.
:-* :-*
I would be exceedingly happy if my figures came out as well as yours from 15 years ago....

Wow, your painting is AWFUL! Please finish the rest of the Custodes and sisters, then send them to me to scrutinise in detail, then I'll send you mine with a note telling you where you went wrong.
Alright, they look ok

After painting Kill Team Sons of Horus and Death Guard marines I was in the mood to revisit my Dath Guard!
(https://adpublishing.de/assets/images/Mortarion_2.jpg)
Mortarion is the third Forge World Primarch I painted. I took some extra time painting him, but the dirtiness of the Death Guard made it a bit less challenging as painting a cleaner Legion, let’s say the Emperors Children’s Fulgrim.
Overall a fun mini to paint, only the resin work is as painful as always.
I changed the colours a bit, most people paint the 30K Mortarion with a dirty white Robe, I wanted a darker look on his way to the dark goods.
So dark grey hood and robe. I even took a hint from the painting techniques of the great Ana Polanšćak and sprinkled some white dots on the mini!
(https://adpublishing.de/Typhon_2.jpg)
While working on Mortarion I remembered that I also have the Tyhon mini lying around, so I build him also and batch painted both in one run, the colours were just the same.

Nathaniel Garro wearing a mixture of Mk II and IV armour and his sword libertas. Some info on the rebased mini: it is of course based on the SM mini from the Master of the Chapter box. Since the PF would be not fitting and Garro often wears Mk IV armour I used a suitable hand and helmet. I then added an Aquila to a MkIV backpack and repositioned the head. The idea is to have him wear a prototype armour.

Some new pics of older models!
Eisenstein Coverboy
The mini below is my attempt to convert a Marine with the look of the Marine from the “Flight of the Eisenstein” novel cover.

A Contemptor Dreadnought with Meltagun and Powerfist. The Melta and Fist are fully magnetised and the shoulder part is pinned and movable to make weapon swaps possible.

Next painted model, a Deimos pattern Predator tank, armed with Autocannon and sponson mounted Lascannons. The Lascannons are fully magnetised to make swaps with Heavy Bolters possible.

Looks gorgeous! Love the weathering on the tank.

Great looking Death Guard models!

It all looks wonderful and the great photography brings it to life.
How is the weathering on the tank achieved; oils or normal washes?

A Scibor conversion - a Power Armour Custodes. I recently rebased the mini to the current base size and changed the weapon, shield and backpack (courtesy of Tortuga Bay minis!). I will use it as a 29K Custodes at the very end of the Terra unification war. The other mini is a collaboration of Scibor and me. An old Constantine Valdor sculpt with current weapon and backpack to give this character a more 29K ish feel and look.
