Legion MK III Command Figures for the Sons of Horus |
More bits for the 16th Legion - some command figures wearing Mk III Power Armour. There is a Legion Centurion figure, drawing his menacing blade, and a banner bearer.

Beautiful sculpts from Forge World |
The standard looks a little funny, and that's because I managed to trip over one of the dumbest and most obvious trip lines in the hobbyist's book. I was preparing to spray a matte seal to protect the figure, and I was in a rush, and I didn't pay enough attention. I picked up the figure, picked up the can, and sprayed, starting with the banner...and I was surprised to see the banner turn black! I had picked up black spray primer instead of matte sealant!! I'm such a dunce!! F**K!!!

In spite of my stupidity, I managed to save the banner |

Not much on the back of the banner, of course, but just wanted to show the detail on the rear of the figures |
Considering the type of f*** up I had bumbled into, it could have been worse - I only caught half the banner with the black spray - the bearer figure was unscathed, and half the banner was still OK. So I sighed, swore, waited for the primer to dry, and set about re-painting the banner...I kind of saved it, but it does look a little weird...

Love the riveted, segmented look of the MKIII Armour |

The Centurion is a wonderful sculpt - he seems to looking off into the distance, preparing to get involved more personally with something on the battlefield... |
While the banner carrier is mostly a bit of fluff for the table, the Centurion is useful in rounding out my Sons of Horus force, as he provides a mandatory HQ selection for the force, one that fits in a little better than the larger, scarier,
Praetor (although at least he has some
Terminators to hang out with now). I need to add a couple more individual marines to round out this command group - stay tuned for more 30k and Sons of Horus...and a REALLY BIG GAME...
