 |  and extremely small. nice use of tyrus for horus - however I have a thing against people making the primarchs so damned big. All they were were taller space marines really - as tall again as a space marine is to a human i suspect. Afterall, just how big can something grow in just 3 days!?! (IIRC all primarches are recorded as having taken 3 days to grow to their full height after being taken from their incubation pods). I've got nothing against the model, which looks very promising, just the concept behind it  For a bald head you're best bet is definitely Eisenhorn. Alternatively you could buy Artemis and file off his hair.

Also, in the most rcent books and comparisons published, it describes Garro as barely seeing the top of the abdomen area on Mortations armor, and lucius as being eye level with the claws of the Aquilla on the chest piece of Fulgrims armor. Again, it varies from source to source really, and all comes down to person opinion. Personally, I believe truescaling (from termie parts to make power armor) w/ some =][= parts is best.

Blog Entries: 5 | you asked for it you go it, the head in place. I might go a bit higher with it, but as far as i can tell he is done except for the plasticard mace flanges and painting.

Blog Entries: 4 | I'd put the head lower in the coulter, perhaps with the eyes just over the edge? Maybe its me, but it seems a bit too high at the mo.

| the tyrus model is badly proportioned for a meer human in power armour anyway, so its never going to look quite the right shape. In the case of a basic tyrus build, his chin is roughly level with the coulter

Blog Entries: 4 | fair enough. You could use GS to bulk up the chest a little, but that would probably be too much.

| fantastic work Steve- maybe make the head a little further up if it doesn't throw the position of the shoulders into doubt anatomically. In the books Horus is shown as being so huge that his armour is almost constraining him (though that may have had something to do with his overwhelming personality as well). |
