Premise

My name is Duncan.

I play the Horus Heresy series of games. And by series, I mean pretty much I play 30k and not much else since I haven't gotten into Adeptus Titanicus. So, this blog is going to be a work progress blog for me as I go on getting my hobby on.

A little about myself first, I have several 30k armies that I'll do various posts and pictures of along with some of the work in progress pictures of the stuff I'm working on currently.

I own close to 10,000 points of Iron Warriors, my first really completed Warhammer 40k army, and since I built them to look preheresy style, also my initial 30k army. I decided a long time back that I didn't really enjoy much of the more modern aesthetic that 40k was going into as the game slowly evolved. So I decided to create a throwback army. Which I did, and given my paint skills at the time (years back now) I was pretty happy with how it all turned out. While I'm not unhappy with how it all turned out as a whole, it has theme and style, I decided about a year ago (mid 2018) that I wanted to take paint classes and get better.

So I did, I took a Mat Kane painting class in the fall of 2018, and it opened my eyes. I learned how to properly use my airbrush that I had used to paint up nearly 3k of Blood Angels as a different army. Sadly, after taking the class and learning stuff I never knew, I looked back at the Blood Angels and the Iron Warriors and I was sad at how they looked compared to what I felt I could create. So, I decided to do a Sons of Horus army.

 That army looks many levels better than either the Iron Warriors or Blood Angels do.

I did approximately 3500 points of Sons of Horus, and I'm for the most part satisfied with the army and where it is. Do I want to paint and build more for it/them? Sure. But I don't really feel like painting more Sons of Horus right now. So instead, I have embarked on a new adventure in 30k.

World Eaters.

Painting white is often a challenge, and to be honest, I've never done it well. So, rather than do it poorly, I'm going to start the army and see how well I do. I'll post changes and pictures and theories and everything else I feel I want to post on here along with previous pictures showing the differences between the various armies. I don't intend to post daily, but I intend to post a few times a week if possible. Eventually, I hope to get all my finished miniatures posted up here for people to see and ignore because it's not on Facebook.

Also, props to whoever owns the below link. I'm stealing a tiny bit of his technique. Not a lot of it, but some.
