I was lucky enough to get my hands on some of the new Emperor’s Children minis, and after looking at them all, and building a few, I decided I had to paint one! Everything is slightly bigger and more accessible on these compared to Thousand Sons, or Chaos Space marines. It makes painting the trim and the backpacks much less of a chore!
After finishing Horus, I promised myself I wouldn’t get any more resin Primarch models. The sculpts are fantastic, but the detail is lost, or slightly off in so many places, due to the moulding process, it makes painting them a pain.
But, I couldn’t resist with Fulgrim, the new 40K Emperors Children models inspired me to get him painted up!
I have finally got round to painting the New Fabius Bile model. He has been a bit of a favourite of mine since the Mark Gibbons artwork (posted at the bottom of this article).
I wanted to achieve a contrast on this model between Fabius’ skin coat, and his own actual flesh. He is so riddled with the Blight, that I wanted his flesh coat to have a more vibrant skin colour than his living flesh. It’s a great new model and a lot of fun to paint. I would have liked some faces on his skin coat, but that’s my one and only small gripe!
