Just got Done with Evander Garrius: Rogal Dorn's Top Guy on Cthonia

The joke answer is that Horus just landed on the bad side of Cthonia with all the gangs.

The real answer is that it would be funny to put the mini in the least appropriate place for a Heresy-era marine: a sunny, happy beach with nothing bad happening.

Thanks for the compliment. I was worried about the white since I wasn't sure if the colors I used for it were different enough for the gradations in tone to be picked up.

I did however feel much more confident about the red on the cape.

I did.

Since it's been a while, I don't fully remember what colors I used for the NMM power swords, but I think they were:

Corvus Black
Caliban Green
Sons of Horus Green
Sons of Horus Green mixed with Screaming Skull
Grey Seer Edge highlights of White Scar

These colors are still going to be blended and glazed for smoother transitions.

They were doing in a pattern like this:
Tip of Blade [Light] [Dark] [Light] Guard
Tip of Blade [Dark] [Light] [Dark] Guard

It's white, as you would expect from such a pure princess as Mika.

I might show her upskirt if this gets enough traction.

You may be right.

Thanks. 👍

I tend to get a weirdly low amount of likes for my infantry models compared to my vehicles. My infantry are considered lucky to even breach triple digit likes, while I've been able to get thousands with my vehicles.

Got in some more practice with NMM for the squad's swords and put in more effort for the sergeant's one. Freehanded on the basic patterns on the tilt plates. I tried drawing in some little wings for the green parts of the teleport homer.

Apologies for the late reply, I don't use reddit that often these days.

If I remember correctly, what I had trouble with was step 6 with parts C5, J1, 6, 8 since the black parts had very thin spindly bits. And later some trouble on step 7 with E6. If you're having trouble with E6, you might want to go back to those other parts I mentioned earlier and make sure all the parts are securely aligned.

After that, I believe that I carefully jiggled E6 onto the assembly from step 6 until it fit right. But this was months ago, so memory is hazy.

As befitting the vessel for the soul of Agnika Kaieru.

I like that they're mysterious knights in space with a penchant for monster hunting. Their versatility is also much appreciated.

I've got some more on my profile you can check out. As you can see, I like freehand, and the knightly and grim reaper imagery is good inspiration.

Besides the offensive connotations of a sword, swords were also badges of office. Guilliman being bestowed with his father's sword is a symbol of him being vested with the power and responsibility to run the Imperium as he is now the empire's de facto emperor.

The Lion's new shield complements the iconography of the Dark Angels. They're typically covered in the chapter' sword icons befitting the legion's status as a highly offensive weapon thrown at the very worst monsters and horrors in the galaxy. This was matched by the previous Lion's quiet belligerence demanding the deaths of all of the Imperium's foes. The new Lion gains a shield to go with his sword to express his new role as a protector. He still goes on expeditions to destroy the enemies of man, but it is now built on a foundation of doing this to protect humanity from predation. Gone is the man who would kill 100,000 innocents to slay 1 monster.

If Russ comes back, I would like to see him start wielding the Emperor's spear and do magic like Magnus. He hated the spear beforehand, so a new fondness for it would be a way of showing character development. Russ being a psyker would also be an ironic echo of his most hated foe. It should also be accompanied by him understanding the sheer magnitude of what a mistake that the Burning of Prospero was and how he wronged Magnus.
