I preshaded the Contemptor with my airbrush and then blended this up to red. There are a few spots that I could do with going back in with the airbrush to add some more shading. Most obviously under the carapace.


To drive home the Blood Angels look I used some brass etch from Forge World. I then proceeded to magnetize the weapons and head (and torso etc etc) so that I can switch the weaponry in normal 40k games but when playing Horus Heresy he will be the Talon Veteran leading two other Kheres toting Contemptors.

The basing was done with a heap of Green Stuff and then a variety of basing materials and plastruct bits and pieces.


I am hoping to get some time in to get this guy finished but with Throne of LOLz this weekend and club nights this week (tonight is the first night of BattleUX) I might struggle with that.
