The Warmaster Horus Lupercal, Primarch of the Luna Wolves

"You are like a son and together we have all but conquered the galaxy. Now the time has come for me to retire to Terra.

All Hail the Warmaster Horus Lupercal! First Primarch of the Emperor.

Blood Angel Test for Heresy Era Army

This miniature has been painted up as a tester for a Pre Heresy force. The red is a zenithal highlight with chipping effect. Unlike my previous Blood Angel force I've used TMM to achieve a realistic look. I'm still in the planning stages with my Heresy force. There isn't much information about the marks of armour the Blood Angels wore, organizational markings, fetishes...
