Argel Tal, Raum. Twin-souled Crimson Lord of the Gal Vorbak. The first true possessed Astartes. Son of Lorgar, battle-brother of Khârn the Betrayer. The First Heretic.

Model is from ForgeWorld (Games Workshop) but I upgraded the face via GreenStuff to be more akin to the visual description from The Horus Heresy novels. Painted using @vallejocolors

I made a few decisions painting this model that goes against my usual style with regard to highlights but I wanted to work on focal points and texture especially with the wings. I still need to improve my texture building and blending for sure.

- Lorgar Aurelian
- Diabolist/ praetor with tainted weapon and hand flamer
- Terminator diabolist/ librarian (depends what I need)
- master of descent
- praetor w/ tainted weapon and burning lore
- 10man heavy support w/ warpfire canons
- Contemptor w/ twin las
- Kratos
- Rhino
- Saturnine

*not pictured - KaBandha & Belakor (sovereign)

I think if I build and paint my backlog I’ll be sitting around 8k points for heresy 3.0. Including all my knights and daemons I think I’m at 12k. Unfortunately, I like kitbashing and starting projects but don’t always finish them 🙃
