After a long stretch of painting I decided to have a break and get my last few models assembled for the First Company. I started with a simple kit bash to make a Master of Signal. I have added one to the army so that I can make use of the Black Reaving RoW.
He was made with Reaver legs, torso, shoulder pads and head. I added the back pack and arm from the Master of Signal kit. I was going to give him a power sword but I couldn't find one to fit on the right hand! So I went with a plasma pistol instead cause they look cool!
I then moved onto the first of 2 Leviathans. Great model and it went together nicely. I really enjoy posing dreads and like trying to capture a sense of movement and power in the pose.
The 2 Leviathans are aimed at a different role each. This is my anti infantry one, armed with grav flux and a claw. I am really pleased with how he has come out and I'm excited to get him painted up.
Lastly I started working on my additional Reavers. I will be arming them with some special weapons and added them across, what will be 3 squads of 10. I am undecided if i should model the special weapon marines with the melta gun in 1 hand and put an axe in the other or if I should use the standard marine arms with the gun held in both hands. What do you think?
I have ordered 2 bare heads that I will be using to represent Ekkaddon and Kibre. I will be getting these 2 built as soon as they arrive in the post.
Happy hobbying!

Love that Dreadnought's pose! Fits very well with the Catulan Reaver theme ^.^
ReplyDeleteCouldn't agree more.
DeleteThanks guys! :D
DeleteI think you could do one with the gunslinger pose of special weapon and chain axe? together, and for the others you could have the CCW strapped onto their backs or thighs while keeping the two handed pose.
ReplyDeleteAlso they look good.
I like the idea of a mix, think I will go with it! And thanks! :)
DeleteNo problem. Ideas are meant to be shared.
DeleteDarien, your Master of Signal has definitely given me some insipiration for one for my Blood Angels Legion. Thank you. :)
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome! :D
DeleteGreat pose on the Leviathan!
ReplyDeleteThanks Siph! :)
DeleteThat's the best possed lev I have seen. You can see how he can pull down fortresses looking like that!
ReplyDeleteThanks! :D
DeleteHey Darien, looking great! Cool to see Sons of Horus as I am a fellow Sons player. Are you making a custom Justaerin model for "The Widowmaker"? I did one as well to mark him but it was very early (Before Justaerin Models were even realeased).
ReplyDeleteHi Tony! I'm am going to do a widowmaker. I am going to use a Justaerin model as the base model. I think I will be arming him a sword and Abaddon's gun! I have a bare head that I will be using as well!
