Making progress on these #legionsimperialis Sons of Horus. Enjoying slowly painting again. Need to figure out bases for these guys soon. Would be nice to consider some of them done soon!

Epic scale Sons of Horus.

Haven’t painted in quite some time. Picking back up with some Sons of Horus Legions Imperialis. I’m drawn to the tiny scale but it’s definitely different to paint.

Painted up version of the frog friend I made in Blender a couple of months ago. Definitely a learning process. Some of the details I fiddled over were way too tiny to come out in the print. Definitely a fun little project.

With that Trench Crusade warband made up for a friend, I thought it should have a display. I’ve never made one before. Only did a bit of basing before. These were taken before I enclosed it all in a case, which had a handy door in front in case they pulled the models out to play.

Overall picture of the Trench Crusade diorama. Intended to be a view into a trench with some of the units up on either side and some in the trench. On the left, the Alchemist stands behind some sandbags by a tree. In the trench an Azeb stands by a shrine. In the middle, an Azeb stands in back while the Lion of Jabir stands near the Sapper. The walls are rusted sheet metal with some wooden supports to keep it tighter. On the right, two more Azebs stand by a tree with the Captain overlooking the trench. Close view into the trench. Focus is on the Azeb in the back aiming down the trench. A shrine stands to the right with the Lion of Jabir on the right. View of the diorama from a different angle. Another fire of the diorama from a different angle.

Video of the Yubazi Captain from Trench Crusade’s Iron Sultanates. I think I managed to break some of the feathers off the harpy on accident but doesn’t seem too noticeable until I point it out.

Yubazi Captain for the Iron Sultanate warband in Trench Crusade. The harpy on the shoulder was fun to paint. This is the last unit in this starting band!

Video of the Lion of Jabir for Trench Crusade. At first, I didn’t think I’d like the Iron Sultanates much, but painting these up has made me more interested. I’ll probably come around and make some for myself at some point.

Lion of Janie for the Iron Sultanate in Trench Crusade. Initially I was the most intimidated by this model but I think it was easier to put together than feared. Enjoyed painting up the skin. Did a purple oil wash to help things, which was nice change from black washes.

Video of the Iron Sultanate Sapper for Trench Crusade. Sometimes the photos seem to show off the minis better but in this case, I think the video did a better job. Only a couple more left for the starter warband!

Iron Sultanate Sapper for Trench Crusade. It seems to be a special unit but it looks a lot like the other Azebs. Will need to get familiar with the rules soon.

Front view of the Sapper miniature for Trench Crusade. It has a pistol in one hand and a shield in the other. Back view of the Sapper miniature. A grenade can be seen attached to the belt on the back. Several pouches are across the back as well. Left side view of the miniature. More of a direct view of the shield on this miniature.

Video of the Alchemist for Trench Crusade. Pretty happy with how this came out. Fire effect was better than I expected. At some point I should probably take another stab at OSL.

Iron Sultanate Alchemist for Trench Crusade. This had the most noticeable printing error. There was a visible shift and lines in the skirt. At a recommendation from my partner, I leaned into it and made it an orange stripe. I think it came out acceptable.

Front view of the Alchemist miniature for Trench Crusade Iron Sultanate. It has metal armor which covers the face. The right hand is in a metal gauntlet. In the left hand, the alchemist holds a bomb of some kind. There is a trail of fire coming from the top. At the base of the miniature, a rock is to the miniature's right. Right side view of the Alchemist miniature. Detail on the skirt around the model can be seen. An orange stripe goes across the back. From here, tubes that connect to the gauntlet to the back can also be seen. The back of the Alchemist miniature. A container sits at the miniature's back. The orange stripe continues across the back of the dress. Left side view of the Alchemist miniature. Orange and blue fabric overlap the dress. The alchemist's leg clad in armor can be seen here.

Video of the Azeb from Iron Sultanate for Trench Crusade. I feel the gold shows better in the video. At any rate, that's the Azebs and then on to the special units next!

Azeb with the flag for the Iron Sultanate warband for Trench Crusade. Tried to make the gold shine on the flag, but it didn't come out too much in the pictures here.

Rotating view of the Azeb with the flamethrower. The misprint on the breather on the gas mask is rather apparent. But I'll just say it gives it more character.

Azeb with the flamethrower for the Iron Sultanate warband for Trench Crusade. I was tempted to make the metal grimey and crusty, but I think my friend wasn't as interested in all the mucked up models I normally make. Tried to keep this one clean.

Video of the aiming Azeb model for the Iron Sultanate warband in Trench Crusade. I like the horn on the belt. Adds a bit more character to the model. Feels like this friend had a few more printing errors, but it just adds to the character, right?

Here's another Azeb from the Iron Sultanate for Trench Crusade. Not significantly different than the previous one, but feeling pretty good with how these friends are coming out.

Video of the Azeb model for Trench Crusade Iron Sultanate. Some errors in printing can be seem more easily here. I didn't notice them until I was painting, but at a glance it seems to fit with the general feel of the model.

Part of a project for a friend who showed a passing interest in Trench Crusade and the Iron Sultanates. This is one of the Azeb troops. Said friend is a bit color blind, so picked things that would stand out to them.

#trenchcrusade

Back of the Azeb troop. Orange scarf hangs on the side. White robes with brown boots. The backback has a section of blue, a white roll, and an orangish/brown roll overall. Leather straps with metal buckles hold the backback together. Front of the Azeb troop. It wears a gas mask made of metal with a bronze breathing apparatus. He holds a rifle and wears a blue turban with an orange feather. Left side view of the Azeb troop. A bronze ornament can be seen on the shoulder. Chainmail can be see under the white robed sleeve. More of the orange scarf from the hip can be seen. Right side view of the Azeb troop. Another bronze ornament can be seen. On this side a bronze dagger with scabbard is attached to the belt.

Full Court of the Seven Headed Serpent for Trench Crusade. Still working on getting good photos of the minis. Putting this one together was quite a bit of effort. Still good to see it all done and together. Now to find something for them to fight!

On an impulse, I played around with digital sculpting over the holidays. Had no real plan or idea what I was doing. It was a bit of a learning process but got it printed out. Pretty exciting to have something that I’ve completely made on my own!

Sorcerer for Trench Crusade to finish out the starter warband. I thought I would leave the base bare as it comes with some decoration. But then it felt too bare. Really happy with how this friend turned out. Will get a picture up of the whole group soon.

Trench Crusade sorcerer. It floats over the ground with crossed legs. Sand bags and some barbed wire can be seen at the base. A long dead skeleton also peaks in the back. The sorcerer is wearing red robes which turn to dark green in the shadows. It has six arms. In the left bottom hand, it holds onto hair connected to a pair of skulls. In the left middle hand, it holds a golden crescent moon. Its top left hand holds a pose with two fingers up. Its bottom right hand holds a dagger made of bronze. The right middle hand holds a tablet with a red, glowing rune. The right top hand holds a golden, flaming sword. The sorcerers head is an animal skull. A golden sigil floats over its head in a hair of fire. Back view of the sorcerer. The dead soldier can be seen wrapped in barbed wire. The back of the sorcerer has chains down the back beneath a trio of skulls. Back left view of the sorcerer. Back right view of the sorcerer.

Full rotation of Pit Locust from Trench Crusade. Still trying to get good video of the minis over to social media. This feels like a step forward.
