I forgot to post this prior to my Squaduary pledge, so we're in February now...but rest assured, these models were on the work bench in January! A simple squad of five Adeptus/Legio Custodes warriors with Pyrithite Spears, they may get broken up and sprinkled about other Legio Custodes squads in games of Horus Heresy, Age of Darkness where individual Custodian guard models may take different weapons. I almost made this my Squaduary 2023 project, but i really need to keep going on the 1st Legion.
I had a couple nights left before February officially got under way, so I needed a filler project. Why not build The Lion?! It's about time I added the Primarch to my growing First Legion (Dark Angels) collection.
The helmeted and non-helmeted heads were both cool enough that I chose to magnetize them for an easy swap. I like the helmeted head the most, but I wanted to try my hand at painting The Lion's noggin as well.
I went a little big on the magnets for a strong attraction (don't want the Lord to lose 'is 'ead, right?!), and lost a little bit of neck seal detail. However, it doesn't show once in place.
And he looks regal as always with his helmet off. Though I think the helmeted head ends up sitting better on his shoulders after the magnet treatment.
So back on the shelf go those models until some future time when the muse strikes. Time to get on with the Inner Circle Knights Cenobium and my personal Squaduary 2023 challenge!
Cheers and Happy Gaming!
