Sons of Horus Terminators

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Yes, and it's full of these guys. Run! Flee for your lives!

So I got these done during the great winter of 2018. Basically they're a little project I have on the side. I wouldn't say it's "a new army", since it's one squad and it's going to stay one squad until I finish my other projects.

I set myself a few goals with this squad that I want to stick with. Apart from my Sisters of Silence force (who don't count ;) ) I tend to be very, ugh minimalist, when it comes to highlighting. It can very time consuming and I feel you need a lot of time to do it all in one go. Plus a lot of my Heresy armies have been very infantry focused and easily over a 100 models for some of them.

However, I love Cataphracts and so I figured if I have a small zone mortalis force and slowly build things up I can practice my highlights and get a nice looking army.

Why Sons of Horus? Well, I really like the green, red, black and bronze scheme. They are obviously the big bad of the Heresy and especially in Vengeful Spirit you see Abaddon leading a lot of Terminators in those decapitation strikes they're fond of.

I have a fiendish plan brewing with the tacticals, since I also want the full legion upgrades and for them to be Despoilers; but that's still a ways off.
