Horus Heresy: Salamanders Spartan

Hello Bunnies! 

My new Horus Heresy 2.0 is expanding! Following on from my Kratos that I post on Monday is the new plastic Spartan all done up in it’s new finest green! This will most often end up being Vulkan’s personal ride along with his retinue of Firedrakes. 

As with the Kratos, it is a commission painted tank. It isn’t quite finished as we are still deciding what to do regarding flames and awaiting the new transfer sheet to add the final few details. Please check out and support my friend in his commission painting, you can find his work at: https://www.facebook.com/DTB-miniature-painting-141409912551216/





I am very much sticking to the Melta and flamer options for ther army, as such I had to add the Multi-melta pintle weapon and the hull mounted heavy flamers. Probably not the best choices but certainly fit the army nicely! 

The plastic kit is really good, though it does have a lot more pieces than the resin version!! The build was good though and a lot less hassle and better fitting than the old resin one. It weighs a significant amount less as well!! Seeing that the kit clearly makes the new Land Raiders seen in the new Liber books, I am excited to add them into the growing legion when they become available. 

I have loaded up Dave with a huge chunk of additional models as well, so expect to see some updates coming in the next few weeks. He has all the resin I ordered prior to the plastic drop. Vulkan, 20 Pyroclasts, Legion Champion, Praetor or centurion and 8 Firedrakes. To round out the start to the legion I have 20 plastic mk3’s to be tactical support quads all armed with flamers and 4 Rhinos for the Pyro’s and supports to ride around in. Additionally the 10 Cataphratii and plastic contemptor for the new big box will be added in. Further more, plastic Land Raiders will be done when they get released, and hopefully the possible/probable plastic Predator Infernus. 

That’s the great plan anyway! Key your eyes out for updates in the coming months! 

Happy gaming!

Andy
