Very nice Steve. I'm glad to see someone building Horus. I would suggest getting rid of the top belt feed on the combibolter, but it is your model, so build it they way you see fit. Keep us updated! Giving ya some rep for building the Warmaster.

Subscription added. I have, of course, the same question as Wakim and Templar.

Looks good so far! I know a converted Talon of Horus isn't much to go by, but still.

I think you`ll have to go beyond the realm of 40k minis to find a suitable head for him

well, given that most art depicts horus as bald, you could go with an eisenhorn head, or failing that, add some crazy hair to battle-brother artemis...

That has always been my reasoning. Does it describe Horus at all in the first 3 books of the Horus Heresy series? That might help?

Just because Abby`s a clone of horus doesn`t mean Horus is a clone of Abby, if you get my point

And even if they were that much alike, i`d still recommand you`d stay away from the topknot

It`s silly and this is Horus, he can`t be silly

Ok, next was the shaving of Tyrus' Bolter and the modification of Eisenhorn's Staff:

The Staff i shaved the Iron halo off of, then cut the Apoth tubes out of. this gave me the length i needed and the iron halo for the crown of his armor.

I attached the halo to the top of the armor after shaving off the inquisitor insignia and stuff...

here are progress shots.




@mart, i am waiting for a package to arrive to continue the eldar.
I do have a titan primed and a little bit of paint on it.

He appears in the first and second books at least. Though from what I've read, he's only described as armoured, bare headed and stern.

I think that it started out as the eye of Terra, then later became the eye of Horus. But, I have only read the first HH novel!

yeah, it was the eye of terra, but I suppose with horus' treachery and all that, Abbadon reworked the insignia to show their new allegiance, and hence eye of horus.
