Topic: Redstar's Sons of Horus - Start to Finish

[redstarone]

First 10 man Tac squad done. I will finish the bases soon and get them mounted, touched up then matte sealed. I did indeed change the Sgts head to better fit the squads theme. Plus the head fit what I was needing for the Dev squad Sgts head.

More pics of the 5 additional guys on my blog for anyone interested.

Redstar,

Finished a Heavy Bolter Devestator for a Tutorial on how I painted the Sons of Horus and how I made the color. It can be found here.

Old school heavy bolter, very nice yes. Should do some highlights on the heavy bolter. The Sanguinary Priest looks great, its just those tubes on his backpack should be painted.

I plan to carve chaos stars into the bolter, thats why its so clean I want to finish the tubes but have no white.. go figure.

I put together the first army objective for the Sons of Horus army incase I ever go to any tourneys this year with them.

Its a hijacked data center/comm station.







Im very open to any comments on it, good or bad. If I should change anything or add anything, nows the time.

More pics and info on it are up at the blog.

That is an interesting OM. I recognize almost every bit you are using except for the cylinder.

What is it?

Finished dread ready to make a goal in the world cup, arms are even magged so he can raise them for the win!









As always more pics can be seen at my blogspot.

[redstarone]

Finished the Land Speeder with the black helmets to match the assault marines as well as touch ups to the base and weathering on the speeder itself. Also took better pics of the crew and the base as some had requested.









More pics can be found at my blogspot, as well as future progress for the army.

So, I ran out of Metallic Green and had to make more. Took a bit of trial and error to get it exact to my first batch as for some reason this batch of Chainmail wasn't very silvery so to speak. I didn't want to mess up any models so I dug this guy up, popped a few bitz on to finish him, mocked up a base to match the completed ones and blamo, done! And his metallic Green is spot on! Yay!



So with that, Ill go ahead and use him as a Sgt for a shooty termie squad. Ill take more pics of him when my camera (i.e. my phone lol) charges more.

[redstarone]

Finished painting the Devastator Combat Squad. I will get better pics tonight of the Sgts signum and all their backs.

Now onto the free give away raffle info since ive had so many questions.

Less the 3 days left to enter and ive had alot of questions about it being a raffle so does that mean people have to pay either to enter or to get the prize shipping if they should be one of the winners. The anwser to both is, of course not. It wouldnt  be a pay it forward, doing a good deed, raffle if anyone had to pay anything.

So to update everyone:

***Please Note, this raffle has no catches, tricks or anything like that. Its FREE to enter the raffle and even costs nothing to relieve your prize should you so win, even world wide. basically, it really is a free give away. Its based on the movie Pay ir Forward where if everyone does n good deeds for each other, the world can become a much better place. To enter all it takes is to be a follower of this blog which I pick winners from randomly.***

All the prizes for the raffle that lasts less then 3 days can be seen above.

Good luck everyone and enjoy.

To enter simply follow the blogspot as the winners are picked from that. If this raffle goes as well as the first, there will be a third and while I cant talk specifics, the prizes are even better then the last 2.

The last months raffle went very well. 5 winners including some really nice stuff. This time based on donations for a former winner, a FW worker, a GW store manager and Galaxy Gobbo, this raffle takes the cake by far!

Also for those keeping up with the free give away at my blogspot, the 3rd give away has started:

Now for this months prizes!

***Please Note, this raffle has no catches, tricks or anything like that. Its FREE to enter the raffle and even costs nothing to relieve your prize should you so win, even world wide. basically, it really is a free give away. Its based on the movie Pay it Forward where if everyone does good deeds for each other, the world can become a much better place. To enter all it takes is to be a follower of this blog which I pick winners from randomly.***

There will be a total of 8 winners. The prizes are as follows:

2 Battleforce box sets for either 40k OR Warhammer. 1 Battleforce for 1 winner. The winners can pick ANY Battleforce they wish.

Sabol army case, details can be found here:
http://www.saboldesigns.net/armytransport.html

KR case, (still working the details on exactly which one or if the winner will have a choice since they offer cases for different games) Info can be found here:
http://www.krmulticase.com/mainint.html

8 Autographed BL books. Ill have the exact list of which ones as soon as they arrive as in the email I was told it would be a surprise "to die for". I will separate the 8 books into 4 groups allowing 4 separate winners. Each winner of the books will get 2.

So that's it, this give away will have 8 total winners, possibly 1 or 2 more depending on how talks with various people and stores goes. But as of right now, I personally feel this is the best give away yet as it allows the most people to win, and its chalk full of things people can use.

I will post more info over the next few days as final details on other items are worked out.

In the mean time, keep up the comments and spreading the word! Keep in mind folks, the more interest there is, the more give aways there can be, meaning even more future winners!
