Sons of Horus First Company update 21

Hello all!

Work has been very busy over the last 2 weeks and as such has hindered my progress some what. I have manager to some progress though. Starting with base coating the Mastodon and my 2 remaining Dreadclaws.


These are the last of my vehicles for the First Company. Once they are complete, I will be able to transport everyone in the army across the table. 

I am also working on getting the last of the units assembled that I will be adding to the First Company. I have 10 Reavers on the go, 6 armed with special weapons (4 melta and 2 plasma guns). 2 each of will be going in each squad. 


I used the plastic special weapons from BaC. I mixed up 2 hand holding and 1 handed. I have started on model to represent the leader of the Reaver Kalus Ekkaddon. I decided to go for a lightning claw and plasma pistol, as I found no description of what he took to war so made up my own mind! 


He is essentially done except pads and back pack. I have also been preparing a model Falkus Kibre, again no description of his wargear (if you know anything about Kibre and Ekkaddon wargear please let me know!). He is again work in progress, I have made use of Abaddons body and the terminator preator arms. I will be adding some etched brass to him to make him more SoH. 


I had a second leviathan and a deredeo sat in boxes not doing anything and couldn't decide which of my other legions they would fit in. In the end I decided the would go best with the SoH First Company, so I got them washed and ready for assembly. 


I am hoping work improves and I can get back to some decent hobby time. In the mean time I will keep chipping away at these bits. 

Happy hobbying!

  1. Kibre has been mentioned using combi bolters, breacher shield, power fist/claw and in the talon of horus he has two thunder hammers.

    Ekaddon had a bolt pistol and sword in Horus rising.

    1. Thanks very much! :D I didn't want to go for a sword and bolt pistol for Ekkaddon as it seems too similar to a regular Reaver! I also wasn't keen to give Kibre a power fist as he would then be very similar to Abaddon! Hence why I went with a sword instead! I may swap the volkite out for a combi-bolter though!

  2. I was going to say that Ekaddon is mention having a sword and pistol in the third book when he is [Spoilered]
    The other guy no idea.
    Let your mind run free and or magnitize the crap out of him to include all the options mentioned above.

    1. Haha! I will go with one selection for him and change him up if ever becomes apparent that he had a favoured set of wargear!

  3. Well excited to see the Mastadon finished. You get any Eye of Horus etched brass for the beast?

  4. "Just had a Spare Leviathan and Deredeo laying about..." Ha ha, lol. Sounds very much like my closet of doom under the Games Table.... A Deredeo, Caestus Assault Ram, Fellblade, Stormeagle... Amongst other things ;)

    Great progress even without work interrupting, my work has been getting in the way too, can't really travel with all my to-do pile though :(

    1. Lol!! I buy something because it looks cool and then have to figure out where it's going to fit in my projects!

  5. Kibre is Combi Bolter/Power Claw/Fist as described in Vengeful Spirit. I run my Kibre as Combi melta/power fist, Cataphractii Primus, digi lasers etc... yeah it might be similar to Abaddons load out but I know who I prefer using on the table! A praetor not getting insta ko'd by powerfists is nice!
