Horus Heresy 2.0 3d Printed Plasma Legionaires

 

In the previous post I showed off a couple of the prints, but the next few posts will show the full squads or full 3d printed compliment of models that will be broken down into smaller squads depending on their speciality.

The Plasma Legionaires were printed in three poses and the one pose is slightly smaller (I went back and adjusted the model in 3d Builder) but its no big deal, Legionaires were different sizes anyway.

I will do some research on what the squad size should be for these guys and then start painting them up.

Watch this space.

Getting Ready for Horus Heresy 2.0 with my 3D prints

 

I have been waiting for the weather to improve and at around 19/20 degrees this last week, I took the plunge and printed off some miniatures. They turned out very well, with only 1 model lost due to my own error with placement on the bed.

As I was not expecting the prints to work in all honesty, I didn’t really plan too much and printed off two batches of legionnaires with plasma guns and two batches of Centurions, one with a power sword and the other with power claws (both with plasma pistols).

I have 11 Legionnaires with plasma guns, enough for a couple of different armies, and 4 Centurions with power claws and 2 with power swords. Not a bad haul for 2 days of printing on an Elegoo Mars which has a small print bed.

As mentioned, I am pretty much going about this randomly as I don’t even know what the rule requirements are for the army lists.

My next batch, if the weather is good enough on the weekend, is to print off batches of missile launcher and flamer Legionnaires. Assuming that goes well it will be followed by volkite armed Legionnaires.

My main issue as it was with the previous posts on the HH is choosing a legion or legions as my project focus.

List of candidates are:

·        Alpha Legion

·        Sons of Horus

·        Iron Warriors

·        Night Lords

You are not wrong of you don’t see any Loyalists in there or is there?

Let me know what legions you guys would like to see.

German WW2 - Schwere Wehrmachtschlepper (sWs) Half-track or Sd.Kfz. 9 FAMO - 3D Printed

 

This is the last of my prints from last year, as the weather warms up in the UK I hope to get back on track with my 3D printing.

This print was the start of the run that nearly made me give up 3D printing (this was before I realized the cooler temperature was the probable cause of the failures I was having). The one side is lop-sided, and the one wheel is heavily lined as it failed to print properly, but I kept the print an any case as I reasoned once painted and on the battlefield it would not be too bad.

As always, the painting method:

I started with a black primer. Then a base colour of Middlestone for the vehicle. I then heavily washed the entire model with a 60/40 Brown black wash.

Next a drybrush of Middlestone for the vehicle.

The brown camouflage was a 50/50 mix of Middlestone and Chocolate Brown and a 70/30 Chocolate Brown and Middlestone mix for the centre part of the camouflage. The green was a 50/50 mix of Reflective Green and Middlestone as a base then a 70/30 mix of Reflective Green and Middlestone for the centre of the camouflage.

Last a drybrush of Middlestone, followed by another drybrush of Bone or Ivory.
