They looks just lovely! Any chance of a few close ups of the Luna wolves? So many classic minis amongst them.

Nicely done, can't wait to see a bit more of all of that.

Very nice, lots of classic miniatures there. Thanks for sharing.

Post by: joekano on 18 June 2015, 02:25:56 AM
I'd like to see some more close ups as well. Those old figures, though perhaps a bit more primative that modern sculpts, seem to have so much more character than you see today.

Lots of cool figures you have.
Love them.
How often do you get to play with all of them?

Post by: Doomsdave on 18 June 2015, 08:55:44 AM
Looks good Steders.  I love those classic land raiders.  I haven't been able to snag any on eBay for less than the pricey forge world versions.  Looks like you've been collecting awhile! Looking forward to more pics of finished tanks.
Title: Re: Horus Heresy
Post by: steders on 18 June 2015, 09:29:03 AM
I started picking up the vehicles about 2 years ago, I got 3 land raiders for £50. The rhinos were going for peanuts (usually needed stripping and rebuilding), but now the prices are getting ridiculous.
I wish I had built a White Dwarf whirlwind rather than buying one. I still have the plans and the bases in a box!

awesome! will you use  those librarian termies as consuls? did you buy them in ebay or you already had them?

I think that the commsnd squad needs more gold, the paoldron rims for example

I would reccomend you to join the "horus heresy" forum in the bolter and chainsword, there is a really nice comunity and it would be good to have more of the 3rd going around.

lol, I was thinking the same thing :)

Great looking armies. I think it's pretty cool that you manged to make a variety of stuff (old school, modern plastic cultists, FW) work together. The airbrushed tanks have some great highlighting.

Post by: steders on 13 July 2015, 09:44:38 AM
Thanks all
I finished the grenadiers at the weekend (must take photos). They are a bunch of RT era imperial guard. Undercoated the FW command group and converted an old merc into a banner bearer for the grenadiers*.
I also lined up the loyalist troops I have to paint (GW steel legion) and had a moment of 'oh shit'. As with many of these projects the hardest part is starting. I need something heavy for the badguys, might save up for a malcador

*Grenadiers are imperial army militia elite troops.

Post by: Major_Gilbear on 24 November 2015, 08:42:36 AM
Looks great!

Silly question... Whilst old Termies were on 25mm bases and the new ones are 40mm (which look a bit big for the old models), they still look like they are about to tip over! Have you thought of putting them on the new GW 32mm bases (or on 30mm bases from Andy at Heresy)?

Also, do I spy a little Techmarine with a Conversion Beamer?  :P

@Noigrim, thanks but these are for myself!
@Dr the Viking, yup I've got a few of them now
@Major Gilbear, I think you're right, they would look better on slightly bigger bases. Might be worth rebasing at some point.
Yes that is a conversion beamer, the sons of horus have one as well. I have kept my bitzbox for years, slowly chucking stuff in. When I had a good dig through I found allsorts of stuff

Question for ya (since I'm doing a Horus Heresy force - possibly...) did Beakies exist in that era?  I wanted to convert some (despite some changes in legs/shoulders) of the Betrayal of Calth fellas...can I get away with MkVI stuff?

Mk6 was an end-of-Crusade-era armour, and therefore only a few chapters had significant quantities of it at the start of the Heresy. Link here (http://warhammer40k.wikia.com/wiki/Power_Armour) with more info than you ever wanted to know about power armour! ;)

Perfect link, thanks.  I'm not entirely sure if I'll be building my box (received it today) but if I do, I'd rather do beakies...shame I can't find a reasonable source for the helmets.  I'm not looking to invest too much money in them.

Impressed with the plastics sprues.  Dislike the head on the Dreadnought so I'll probably do something about that if I go forward with building them.

You can't do beakies since legs and chest are different you shold go with MK IV as given in the box

In fact you can use any armour short of the MKVII of 40K, what I do is transform MKVII in MKV adding studs, if you would want to go full purist you should remove the rims and add greenstuffed cable housings! ZSince there are no official estimates about the percentage of the armour you can throw in any pre VII combination, your company has got more luck than the others and got its hands in some sweet MK VI.

The plastic box is truly awesome and since my local FLGS sells it with nice discounts (plus black friday) I'm afraid that I won't be able to resist (I saved enough with the scratchbuilt gargants as it is).

The chests are barely noticeable, so it leaves only the legs (which I could care less about) and trimming off the edges of the shoulder pauldrons etc.  At this point, MkVI is unlikely and the whole build is rather unlikely.

Puritanism is boring, don't marines mix items of differents marks together according to some FW illustrations? free way then!
