Madness of the Heresy

A while ago I had the idea of making a space marine model to represent myself on the battlefields of the 41st millenium (which would be rare considering how little I actually play Warhammer 40K), also as I nice small project for myself to enjoy.

At the time of trying to decide how to build the model I was checking out alot of Horus Heresy miniature blogs and I had just received a bits order including some Forge World parts. Having also been an Imperial Fist fan for a long time, the choice in Legion/Chapter was already made. So pre-heresy Imperial Fist it was I decided.

However what I didn't at the time but have slowly come to understand about myself when it comes to this crazy hobby, that as soon as I get halfway through a project it evolves into another one. Rather than settle on making one Heresy-era model, I decided to make more Heresy era minis, each one representing the other Legions (already have the bits for my Ultramarine and am spying for Word Bearer ones).

So currently as it stands I have one completed member and another 5 members awaiting various bits and licks of paint. The current roster as it stands:
-1) Imperial Fist
-2) Dark Angel
-3) Space Wolf (or Vlka Fenryka for those Heresy aficionados)
-4) Iron Warrior
-5) Alpha Legion
-6) World Eater

No doubt this project will branch into some other project but as I write this, I have to admit that I'm enjoying the thought that is going into each one as I attempt to bring the character of each legion through these single minis (more so than my Novamarines).
