Skaven: Plastic Clanrats through the ages
To celebrate the release of the recently released Warhammer Armies: Skaven I'm writing a series of articles exploring a number of areas hopefully of interest. I'm keen for feedback and will certainly take any on board with future articles - so let me have your suggestions, corrections and anything else ratty I should include.
Reinventing the Steel – Sons of Horus Vanguard
To keep my own projects on track I am planning to put the spotlight on a select squad or unit from my collection each week and aim to tidy up and paint them.
The first installment for this 'scrap workshop' are my Vanguard / Assault Marines. These chaps began life as pre-Heresy Salamanders, but a good half of that army became Sons of Horus after a Great Crusade campaign, leaving them unloved and needing a fair bit of attention and paint.
Creating Pre-Heresy marines – part 4: Mark IV power armour
Continuing the guides for producing pre-Heresy armour, next in line we have Mark IV:Maximus.
The Maximus suit saw heavy production towards the end of the Great Crusade, so was very common amongst legions involved in the Horus Heresy.
Thanks to the Red Scorpion upgrade kit produced by Forgeworld, this set of armour is very easy to create, although there's always room for improvement and variation. You can literally equip your entire army by purchasing the Red Scorpion kit, which gives you Mark IV chests and heads. There's also a alternative head in the Black Templar upgrade sprue with the more 'snouty' beak plate on the helmet.
Guides: Pre-Heresy Space marines
With the pre-Heresy series growing I want a place to keep track of all the articles in a good format and order. This page will be updated as new guides are posted.
