horus heresy

Pretty much my entire Salamanders collection as of 7 Mar 2023. Top shelf is everything I normally pack into a 3000pt list in Horus Heresy 2.0. The shelf below is everything that's either legacy models, units set aside for larger games, 40k-only crap, or being prepped for list alternatives.

Tanks, lots of tanks

14x Frigates (8x Sword, 6x Firestorm) 4x Cruisers (3x Lunar, 1x Dictator) 1x Eclipse Battlecruiser 1x Dagon Grand Cruiser 1x Desolator Battleship 3d-printed models designed by Soul Forge Studio

More ongoing work, this time with airbrushing. This is about as far as I got today with a highlight of Moot Green.

One of the most satisfying conversions I've done so far. I went with a "sword & board" build for my Salamanders Legion Champion since they can take dragonscale stormshields in Horus Heresy, which when combined with artificer armour and a refractor field makes this guy about as tanky as cataphracti.

A full 10-man Heavy Support Squad for Horus Heresy. Some adjustments were needed to allow the Proteus-II Missile Launchers I was using to pair up with the Mk III arms, but all in all it came together quite well.

Mk III bodies with Proteus-II-Pattern missile launchers and Salamanders upgrade sprues.

The first "sub-assembly" finished. Zenithal primed with Chaos Black and Mechanicus Standard Grey via rattlecan, then given multiple washes of Nuln Oil. Eyes were done with Evil Sunz Scarlet, and his teeth were done with White Scar followed by a little bit of Reikland Fleshshade.

The green zenithal highlighting was done by airbrush. (Chaos Black > Caliban Green > Moot Green > White Scar > Waywatcher Green) As opposed to returning completely to black however, areas to be made black were first painted in Mechanicus Standard Grey and then given multiple washes of Nuln Oil.
