Heresy Thursday: Dark Angels Upgrade Kits

Today's Heresy announcement feels a but light, but we have been spolied with some great new kits.

Available from Forge World soon are the Helmet and Shoulder Pad upgrade kits for Dark Angels.

Really like these and think that they could fit in welll with my planned Imperial Fists for more Templar style heads.

Horus Heresy: Imperial Fists Legion

With pledging to the Sons of Horus, I do want to have a second army available for anyone who pops over to play a game. As I had long time ago purchased some Imperial Fists models it only seems right to finish them off and have a small force available. I think once I have painted the Templar Brethren and a couple of character models it will be just the box set for them as an army.

Below are their Legion Rules

This really focuses the force into being an Auto weapon and Bolt Weapon heavy army, why not make use of that +1 To Hit Rolls.

This looks like a great Advanced Reaction, allowing an Imperial Fists unit to tie up an enemy unit that gets a little to close for comfort. If they break that unit it could lead the Imperial Fists punching through the front line and causing havoc in the back field.

Templar Assault allows the Imperial Fists to take units of Templar Brethren as Troop choices. So expect to see lots of black armoured Templar's in the field of yellow armoured Imperial Fists.

Just need to nail down the paint scheme for the standard Imperial Fists so that I can get them painted quickly.

Is anyone else hitting up with 2 forces for HH?

Horus Heresy: Imperial Fists Legion Templar Brethren

Today's builds are 5 Imperial Fist Templar Brethren, as their armour is mainly black, thought would get it done as the same time as the Justaerin Terminators. Have to say I did not enjoy this build lots of sub section arms, so lots of pinning and gluing and drying. The swords also needed a bit of work in terms of straightening and some filling. However I think alongside Sigismund they will look great on the table. Check back on progress next week.

Warhammer The Horus Heresy Cinematic Trailer

This cinematic trailer was released 2 weeks ago at Adepticon 22, this has pretty much been a daily watch for me. This has made my mind up on the two, that's right two factions for Horus Heresy. The simple matter of two factions is so that I always have an opposing force for any player that does not have one when they come to play.

Faction One: Imperial Fists

Faction Two: Sons of Horus

More to follow as I start my test models

Tor Garadon

I had completely missed this model release by GW and in my quest to reignite my hobby passions, thought would start with 1 single model and see if it inspires a new army.

I am also going to be looking at new style of painting for me which has a really strong following online which is Grimdark.

The sculpt on this model is lovely a real sense of power in the pose and some great details to focus on. At the moment I have left the shoulder mounted gun off as I am not sure if I am I will use him as Tor Garadon or as a Captain for a new army.

Next undercoating and first coats
