Found a youtube channel of the horus heresy books 1-7 (so far) which has saved me a ton of money and strain reading the actual books. I dont know about anyone else but I find all black library books a proper brain sore to read. Authors must be paid by the word with bonuses for describing devastation and desolation. ---

Light and Magic on Disney is pretty good, at least the first series is, the history of ILM [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/53BZV1GMXu8/maxresdefault.jpg "Light & Magic - Official Trailer (2022) George Lucas, Lawrence Kasdan") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=53BZV1GMXu8) They’ve just put up the 2 hour 30 minute doc that was an extra on early 2 thousand DVD’s Empire of Dreams, that’s a belter You Tube to the rescue: [![](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/vB1DA5jZdIQ/hqdefault.jpg "Empire of Dreams: The Story of the Star Wars Trilogy (2004)") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vB1DA5jZdIQ) ---

Pretty stoked on tracking down this model. There’s a painting competition at my local warhammer shop in march and tempted to try and push myself to enter a diorama with this as the centrepiece. ![IMG_1012](https://uksf-media.lon1.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/original/3X/1/4/1426d1a87306861dd3e4a56d496d249be3f4bcbb.jpeg) Other recent models to build up my xenos genestealers… ![IMG_1013](https://uksf-media.lon1.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/original/3X/4/f/4f9f23f9a9cd7dc58f2c4121bfff452e8b9f5fc3.jpeg) ---

Tried dry brushing areas… I think things will look better when I add contrasts and shade. Also all the metallics of the armour and weapons. Not sure what colour for the skulls though? ![IMG_1026](https://uksf-media.lon1.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/original/3X/b/2/b2d7f468edd4544359360e1715203cc18ea33b64.jpeg) ---

What’s the link? I’ve tried reading some but I generally don’t enjoy reading fiction anyway, and found them hard going like you said. I thought they’d be full of big battles but it’s just pages and pages of waffle and space politics. ---

Work in progress Kind of stoked on the colour I blended for the pile of skulls and the face details. Mighty fine brush and slow and steady hand movement. ![IMG_1032](https://uksf-media.lon1.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/original/3X/c/9/c9edd2a92f0ce7b4fe60482cf7ab215df0c601f8.jpeg) ![IMG_1035](https://uksf-media.lon1.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/original/3X/0/3/037af6b7a22eba37b4d9bf2c7097308fe8fb0ef8.jpeg) ![IMG_1034](https://uksf-media.lon1.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/original/3X/7/1/711ff3db6bb38ec0f63b5ca4a957e79945147ac1.jpeg) ![IMG_1033](https://uksf-media.lon1.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/original/3X/0/e/0e19b39e88ff5a05a7f5f32807f339ab7ef99967.jpeg) ---

I worked some details Tried applying some flesh contrast but not very good with it. Bit of contrast shading helped the skulls though and quite stoked on the rich mahogany I mixed as the base for the plinth. Flame is alright too. Plenty more to go… ![IMG_1070](https://uksf-media.lon1.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/original/3X/6/b/6b72ffc977c63062cdece9f8d9e6b819b0d9a564.jpeg) ---

I like the shiny metal highlights. That’s a pretty gnarly claw. Does he have a head or am I being dumb? ---
