Horus Heresy: Leviathan Build

 

Following on from the weekends post of the Leviathan unboxing, I have spent the past couple of lunch times building up the kit.

I obviously went with the Eye of Horus groin guard and the chaos looking chest plate and rear head piece. I really like the extra height and width the shoulder guards give the model. As you can see I have left the arms separate to make it  easier for painting. The model can be magnetized if you are one of those gamers that have to all options available to them (i am not if I want different variant will just buy another one). My load out is claw and drill, I really like that you can pose the drill and the claws to give a nice variable to your model.

Just for scale guide is one of my Tactical Support Marines. Hes a big unit and def gonna be a magnet for enemy fire. Looking forward to painting this model.

Whats on your table?

Horus Heresy: Leviathan Siege Dreadnought Unboxing

 

Was in Nottingham this Saturday for a close friends birthday. So thought would pop into the new Element Games shop to pick up the new Leviathan that was released today.

Nice artwork on the box featuring the Sons of Horus patterned Leviathan.

Inside the box you have 4 sprues, 3 of the sprues are for the main body of the dreadnought.

The final sprue are the Siege Claws and Drill weapons.

There are 3 differing groin guards, and 3 front carapace options. Only 1 head type, but two differinbg back plate pieces.

You also get some extra shoulder mounts for adding some extra heft to the already large shoulder sections.

The weapon is the sprue that will be swapped out in the next box release for the ranged weapon variant. I would have preferred to have had both variants in the box, so loadouts could be set or fully magentized.

Tegs as with the contempor dreadnoght are all ball and socket joints so will allowa full range of posing. Hope to get some build time over the weekemd. Not sure on my loadout will decide when get to that part in my build. 

Anyone else picked up one?

Heresy Thursday: YES YES The Leviathan

 Finally my wishes have come true we see more info on the Leviathan. This is going to be split release with the close combat variant coming first then the ranged variant. I think I will have one of each as they are a big points sink for the army.

Both of these variants look really good.

With so much being shown on the upcoming releases I just hope this Sunday we get the next wave of Heresy releases.

My firsttactical squad is now complete and i just need to get some pictures taken. I have also completed my Justarian, MkIII tactical squad , Demos Rhino and a little bit more work to do on the Praetor and then I feel I can start work on my Imperial fists for a change of colour.
