Legion Praetor Tribune - Making him Yours part II


So for those of you that saw part one of the journey you'll remember this guy. For those of you who haven't go check out my post of how to make a Tribune yours. 

Now  I've been using a tip that Mark Bedford put me on to which if I'm honest I would not have done but it works. 


Stage one Black undercoat. 


Followed by the white one. 


So here we have the pieces prepped to go. Now at this point the legs were not glued onto the base as that would be painted seperate. But I did check it for fit ensuring the pinned legs were still sitting right. 


The next stage was a base coat of Averland Sunset. 


Here you can see I've gone over the model with Agrax in the areas that with either be detailed later or turned into gold trim for the armour. 


I then went in a blocked out the black areas and then detailed the White. I also painted the head. 



As you can see by this point he was really coming on. 

I then began detailing the model and blocking out any additional areas with a mix of Averland Sunset and Flash Gitz yellow. 


Here you can see the detailing on the shield I added that has the Phalanx Warden detail on the right shoulder pad. 


Base painted and legs glued in place. Next was the full build. 





And here he is in all his glory. 





Now I've purposely missed out 2 steps here of my normal process for finishing this model. As some of you will have seen from previous posts I have yet to add any transfers. This is a personal thing that I'm working on. Until I have it right with all the varnishes etc in place I'm waiting out on this step. 

Also with this particular model I haven't given him a glaze of Lamenters Yellow. 
The reason being is I'm undecided whether he actually 'needs' it. I plan to paint my remaining Tacticals and then go from there seeing how the paint scheme stands next to those. 

I hope you've enjoyed following this. Due to factors outside of my control I wasn't able to post this last week but it was worth the wait. 

As usually feel free to ask any questions and comment below. 

Until next time. The Emperor Protects.

The Eagle's Talon

So we have been blessed with yet more Horus Heresy from Black Library. This time it's a new audio drama involving the Impirial Fists and the battle of Tallarn.


 I for one am very happy about this as I only only saying the other day that I wished Black Library would do more about the Impiral Fists. I just hope this is popular with other people so maybe Black Library will realise that there is a gap for more Imperial Fist story's. The icing on the cake for me would be their own novel,

Let me know what you guys think about this and if you would like to see more regarding the Imperial Fists, and if so, what should it involve.

Take care :-)

The Fists are coming!!!

Hi all

So today I woke up to find that Forge World have released something I have been looking forward to since I saw them previewed at Warhammer Fest. Yes that's right, the Imperial Fists special units, the Phalanx Warder squad and the Templar Brethren.


My initial thoughts on these is that Forge World have really outdone themselves, and for one can not wait to get my hands on some. In fact it is taking quite a lot of will power and self control not to just stop doing my Word Bearers and just move onto the Imperial Fists lol


As you can see, instead of having all the parts in the pack, you will get an upgrade kit. I'm not sure if I prefer this as surly it would mean that we would end up with loads of spare parts? Let me know your thoughts in the comments below. 

Take care :-)
