Horus Lupercal - Part V

A couple of legs to stand on.
There's starting to be something resembling progress on Horus at long last. The main armour is just about filled in, and actually I could attach the model to its base now if I wanted. I will wait longer for that step however, just because painting Horus is somewhat easier in the current setup anyway.

No change to how the Warmaster is being painted, however I am overly familiar with some of the manufacturing flaws. They're fortunately hidden on the inside of the right leg, and really won't be seen, but annoying to have any such flaw on a Primarch model in the first place.

Some details are yet to be completed either because I just haven't got around to it yet, or because I'm still deciding on how to paint them. The latter point applies to the legion icon on the right knee-pad. It's supposedly the symbol for the Luna Wolves, white crescent moon, black for the rest of the circle, and an outlined white wolf head, or possibly outlined black wolf head (I've seen both). I'm leaning towards a white crescent, dark grey rest of the circle, and black wolf head with red eyes and silver engraved XVI (very small detail that's actually on the wolf head itself).

I'll have to start on the upper areas of armour soon too, before moving onto pteruges that fit below the waist, and of course the right arm.

-- silly painter.
