"We Are The Sons Of Horus."

"Once called the Luna Wolves, we now bear the name of our primarch."

This 28mm plastic miniature of a Space Marine Sergeant is by "Games Workshop" and comes from the sadly now long OOP (Out Of Production) Betrayal At Calth boxed game by "Games Workshop". The multi-part figure has been assembled wearing MK IV armour and had a resin Sons of Horus "Forge World" shoulder-pad super-glued onto him so as to specifically mark him out as belonging to the Traitor Legion.

The figure was initially primed with "Citadel" Sons Of Horus Green, before being heavily washed with Nuln Oil, and dry-brushed with (more) Sons Of Horus Green. I then applied some "Citadel" Abaddon Black to his shoulder-pads, ammunition pouches, backpack, Plasma Pistol, helmet, Power Claws and various elbow/knee joints.

Following up from this the model's vents, firearm, and Power Claws were later treated to a combination of "Vallejo" Gunmetal and "Citadel" Nuln Oil, whilst I gave the Sergeant's left shoulder-pad a single coat of "Vallejo" Heavy Sienna, some Gold, and a splash of "Citadel" Agrax Earthshade. Having also applied this metallic concoction to the miniature's lower left leg, his chest emblem and various decorations, all these areas were subsequently highlighted with some additional touches of "Vallejo" Gold along the edges, iconography and rivets.

As a final touch I applied some "Scalecolor" Speed Metal to the composite ceramite cooling coils of the Space Marine's plasma pistol and eye lenses. These parts were eventually given a lick of "Citadel" Contrast colour Talassar Blue and Flesh Tearers Red respectively. Lastly, I stuck one of the many decals found on the "Games Workshop" Sons of Horus Legion transfer sheet onto the right shoulder-pad.

"Lost Heresy Miniatures" WIPs - Three Vulgorn Guards primed and base-layered

Alongside the third of my Sons of Horus Space Marine Sergeants, I have managed to make a little bit more progress on the British NBC (Nuclear Biological Chemical) models I picked up from "Athena Miniatures" at "Warfare" 2024. Three of the figures have now had their L98 A2 rifles and gas masks base-layered with "Citadel" Abaddon Black, and had their camouflaged ammunition pouches completed too.

Furthermore, despite initially believing I'd finished my 28mm scale Vulgorn Guard patrol by "Lost Heresy Miniatures" in December last year, I have since found three more of the (not) "Hitchhiker's Of The Galaxy" models in one of my drawers - clearly indicating I was even more enthusiastic with my Mars 3 Pro 3D Printer and their STL (Standard Triangle Language) files than I thought. I was somewhat tempted to mark this trio out as an 'elite' unit of the extra-terrestrial bureaucrats by painting them in the garish green jumpsuits seen in John Lloyd's 1981 television series. But in the end decided to simply 'fold' the three identical sculpts into my current colour scheme...
