Aye dudes,
Last post for the year I think, managed to get a shitload done and I'm pretty stoked! I painted about 750pts of Tyranids at the start of the year and just under 3000pts of Sons of Horus with the large portion of that happening after August.
I'll finish the posting off as far as I can see with the WIP's of my Tartarus armoured dick kickers including the LTD edition Tribune model that I managed to snaffle up and squirrel away for when I got some Tarts.
Did the usual spikey thing as I have done with my armour and I think it really sets them up for the legion theme. Got 2 teams of 5 with matching loadouts which I will likely roll into a squad of 10. Did a conversion for the axe on the Praetor using the ball and spike from a Justaerin axe flushed up to the axe blade and power unit from the Chaos Terminator Lord (shaved the skull icon off the blade and shaved the joining bit thinner). I tried just the Justaerin axe head but it looked stupid, was too small. He looks beast now, Barbarian great axe style.
Going to try and match them up to the book art, I forget which number it was in, basically black outer shoulder plates, dark metallic power units and backs of the legs, gold trims and gold helmets. They will look a little like mini versions of my Leviathan (Scroll down the blog to see some pics).
Anyway, cheers for checking in this year, happy holidays and safe travels if you're out there getting after it and I'll be back with these dudes finished in Jan. Off to Africa for a few weeks with the girlfriend then some solo cycle touring when I get back to Australia again.
