not much there... Again, warrior topknot might be the way to go, or failing that, give him a similar hairstyle to the emperor...

If you're going for just Pre or spot on Siege of Terra, that's the perfect idea.

The inquisitor tyrus head has a bionic eye. if it did not i would not have to start hacking.

pic:
http://store.us.games-workshop.com/s...e=A&Img=212788

so, i'll be cutting his head damn near in half and sculpting the other half.

easiest way i can see to do it.

also for the left shoulder pad i will be using this piece:
http://store.us.games-workshop.com/s...e=b&Img=215301

it is a nice wolf's head and will make it stand out more.

I'll be using a wolf pelt that i have for a cloak and some more GS to make it bigger for horus.

I found out i'll have to do some drilling and that is my project for tonight.

more to come later.

It might be easier to perhaps use Eisenhorns head itself? Or some other =][= scale head, bald?

what nice bald inquisitor heads are there? What is the chaos magus head like? I can only see one side of it. There is a close cropped arbites head there too, though the bald one has a bionic eye...

Eisenhorn's would probably be the cheapest option though...

Steve - the macro feature isn't working as you need to have it at just the right spot (bit of trial and error really).

Firstly have the bit of model/model to shoot set on a table or some form of clamp (just to hold it steady and remove natural human movement). Then set the camera up either on the table or on a tripod (just in anyway tht you get the shot you need - but it's key your not holding it), set the timer shot, focus and click.

May not get the best results everytime, but you should have a shot in focus everytime.

Hope it helps, as this is a great project.

I think he is doing this more Luna Wolves/Sons Of Horus rather than full on Traitor/Seige of Terra time.

Books from BL take a back seat to Codexs and official GW releases in canon qualifications. And several of th
