Sons of Horus Loyalist Contemptor Survivor WIP






This dreadnought is meant to look like he survived the bombing of istavaan III. These are essentially the base colors, from which rust, battle damage (highlighted since a lot is sculpted in), and grim streaks will be added. This guy should look like he has been to hell and back. I haven't decided if the power claw needs blood and gore. It is a strong possibility since that will add a contrasting color and finish.

  1. Very cool; an Emperor's Children Venerable Dreadnought named "Ancient Rylanor" was involved in the Virus Bombing, along with a few others. There's a fair bit of description of the damage done to him by it in the relevant Horus Heresy novel ... might be worth looking into for some authentic detailing.

  4. Definitely looks like he's had a rough time. I see dirt and rust but not as much battle damage as I expected from the description. Fantastically done regardless.
