Finally finished working on these
guys. I am at the moment trying to finally get my Luna wolves on track, and I'd
say they're 2/3 of the way there. The Rapiers are a fantastic addition to any
Space Marine army and a lovely update of the classic model. Currently I plan on
using them as both Luna Wolves and Raven Guard hence the neutral markings and
colour scheme, although there's little room for Legion/Chapter colours except
maybe on the front armour. The turrets are detachable though, so if I were ever
to invest in 3 heavy bolter carriages there's certainly potential to use 3
track units per army repainted in the appropriate colours and keep the guns
neutral so they can be interchanged.
Now for the main event - Captain
Garviel Loken. I fell in love with this character as soon as I first read the
Horus Heresy books. When I decided to build a Ullanor-era Luna Wolves army
based on the False Gods artwork, it was always going to be led by Loken. The
advent of FW armour marks, Legion rules and both a model and rules for Loken
have made this a much easier task. Aside from the head, I think the Loken model
is fantastic and it was a fairly simple task to remove the Sons of Horus icons
in order to make way for the Luna Wolves Legion insignia. I based him with
white spray and then gave him a layer of ulthuan grey, some nuln oil for the
recesses and ceramite white highlights. I also had a play with the new
technical paints, giving him Typhus corrosion weathering and BftBG gore. (plus
some Mechanicus standard grey paint chips and Ryza rust on the base. Very
pleased with how he turned out and looking forward to a mini-Ullanor with Alex
this Summer once the Orks get an update. Cheers.
