I hope you had a good Christmas and New Year! Mine were extremely busy! Working and spending time with family and friends left little time for hobby. As such I haven't made as much progress as I would have liked to. I did, however, make sure that I completed something special to end my hobby year on and to use as inspiration for the year ahead. Knowing that I would have minimal painting time to work on the outstanding 11 Justaerin, I decided to focus on just one Astartes. The First Captian of the Sons of Horus, a member of the Mournival, a man unequaled in combat record within the legion except by the Primarch himself, the mighty Ezekyle Abaddon.
The model is brilliant and it was a real joy to paint. I used the same method that I did for my Justaerin, except I added in a few more red areas to set him apart more from the crowd. I spent a long time focusing on getting his face right and I am pleased with how it has come out.
As I am focusing on the First Company currently Ezekyle is the logical and most likely character to be leading my forces into battle. I am looking forward to seeing him leading his Justaerin squads and bringing worlds to compliance in our Great Crusade campaigns.
I am now back to working on the 11 Justaerin that I have unpainted, hopefully I will be able to complete these in the next week or so. This will complete all of the 30 Justaerin I own. I think I have finally decided on how I will be basing them too! If the plan looks as good as I hope this will be completed once the painting is done.
This year is going to be great fun! I have several projects that I will be working on throughout the year. They are;
It is going to be a busy few weeks and year on the hobby front!!

This year is going to be great fun! I have several projects that I will be working on throughout the year. They are;
- Sons of Horus 1st Company
- Orks
- Scenery
- Emperors Children
- Helping the other Bunnies with projects as needed
Following on from Kaelo's post I have decided to set myself several short term goals to get completed. My reward will be model based. Once this list is done I will get myself something special, perhaps a super heavy for the SoH.
- Paint the remaining 11 Justaerin
- Base the Justaerin
- Paint 2 SoH Contemptors
- Assemble 3 Dreadclaws and the Fireraptor
- Paint Ork Boyz, want to get 100(!!) done but may go for 20 boy groups.
