Horus Heresy ‘The Bleak Chorus’ Knight Banner

Since the last post that detailed the first 3000pts of my Knight army I’ve been VERY busy! What followed was more Knights, more Allies, individual names for both the Knights and their Pilots and working up their individual Knight heraldic banners.

In addition to the Knights from my previous post, the following are also now complete and ready for the battlefield.

Horus Heresy House Orhlacc Knight Army

To support the new edition of the Horus Heresy game, WarCom featured my House Orlhacc army in an article. All the amazing photos from the article are repeated below, with some additional insight from me, if you are into that sort of thing… (these ones can be enlarged!)

Horus Heresy XXth Legion – The Raid on Ollanz-Mu

Starting in White Dwarf 501, and then continuing in issue 503 and concluding in issue 504 was a series of articles documenting the growth of new armies for the Horus Heresy, under the narrative of a raid on the planet of Ollanz-Mu.

I participated by building and painting a brand new XXth Legion force, and with the final article published, here is the complete force.

Here are the photos from the earlier stages from issues 501 and 503 respectively.

PROCESS

Here are the Marines after the previous stages.

Yep, pretty simple. 4 coats through an air brush.

And here are the same marines after the clear coats.

CLOSING

Here is the Rhino with transfers, detailing & weathering.

All of this is based on this test marine, I did him as a ‘palette cleanser’ from all the dark, dark, blue.
