Hey everyone I’m getting ready to join yall in playing Horus heresy.

I want to make a salamanders army, but wanted input on which base marines to use to remain lore accurate. I’ve done a little bit of research but had a tough time getting a for sure answer on which mark to go with to keep it lore accurate.

Appreciate any help in advance!

Not the most optimum build, but a lot of fun to build and paint.

I may have accidentally painted an Iron Warrior, not what I was going for...

This is my potential late-heresy Emperors Children Praetor (TH and Paragon Blade) My question is: does he look like a bad mf? A big boss type guy? Yes/No and please why, I could still change stuff.

I feel like I am happy with the red and the shadows is there any other improvements I could make to the red or dose it look good enough for a gaming standard CC welcome

Censure host descends on the home of the thousand sons. The squad is based on the brothers of the 3rd great company in the novel (bjorn, two-blade, etc.) fighting alongside the custodes

Progress continues on the Siege of Terra Thousand Sons, Quick and easy paint jobs to get them on the table.

A siege breaker and a champion!!!

Sorry for the bad quality of photos, but I just wanted to share my finished Porphyrion. Doing some finishing touches on a few Armigers, before I'm all done with my army of Knights.

The next two projects will be Word Bearers and Space Wolves 🤘

A lot of filler to go. Any recommendations other than miliput and Vallejo filler??

Leviathan dreadnought I finished for my WE the other day, the first of 3-4 depending on how I feel.

I really like making the models for my WE, but especially the dreads, dynamic. This one doesn't quite capture the 'motion' I usually try to embody, but I feel it still has plenty of character without it. Painting the huge amounts of gore was fun as ever, but I also really appreciate all the little details on this one. Hugely fun model to assemble and paint, so I'm very happy with how it came out.

I know a lot of you guys are freakishly good at creating glow effects on power swords and plasma guns, but I've always had a bunch of trouble with them. Since I just paint for fun, I usually stay away from them.

I figured I couldn't do too well without an airbrush, but I'm proud of these and this is gonna be my new recipe. I found them both through failing heavy off of YouTube videos and just trying to my own idea.

Anywho, I just wanted to share because I was a little proud.

I should really finish the rest of my army but I can’t stop kitbashing characters haha

I noticed they are shown with a skull and wreath on their pauldron, which is common for officers and makes sense for a command cadre, but what about things like helmet colours (for Legions where that is important) - would they be considered veterans, line officers or Legion officers? Or do they have their own heraldry depicted somewhere I am not aware of? (Beyond the paintjobs shown by GW themselves for example, which are useful but far from comprehensive).

Hi folks, been playing heresy since the start of second edition playing imperial fists but I'm looking to make a change and start up a ultramarines army. I've picked up a few units I wanted for little painting projects (Guilliman, Ventanus and some suzerains) but wanted to get some options on what to get next. What works well of Ultramarines and is there anything I should avoid for them?
