Normally i like to start a log with a couple of finished pictures, so allow me to take a moment to warn you, this is different.
So lets begin; I've never actually considered the Sons of Horus as an army, because honestly i wasn't that taken with them (not like i was with the white scars). However i've been doing a little more digging following the release of the Horus sculpt - which by the way is to blame for this entire log. Ive begun to fall for them, certainly the style of the models has been growing on me since the first ones hit the shelves a while ago. In fact when Horus hit the FW site i almost lost control of my wallet. In honesty i think I haven't kept control now... hence this log.
So whats the plan?
This army is going to double up as a Crusade army list, and as a Black Legion force. I can't justify an army without having it used for 40k (30k's pretty small in my region) so everything is being build during the Heresy Era. There is going to be a few historical fudges (one coming up later) to make this army work for both genres.
So the first models to come will be;
30 Tactical marines
5 justaerin terminators
Abbadon and Loken
Horus
My rough plan is to build in the region of 50-70 infantry models, 4-5 tanks, at least one perhaps two full rapier battery squads and a few special models. Since this log won't see completion before late summer there's a chance FW will offer up even more goodies for me to add to the stock piles.
Now for the first model; Maloghurst the twisted.
