MAGNUS THE RED, LORD OF PROSPERO. NMM version.
My, how things have changed in 10,000 years?
What styles fit the Heresy? The answer, the only answer is every style! But I do have a few tenants I stick to when modeling and painting in the Horus Heresy.
Like many people, I was infatuated by the militaristic, stripped-back style of Heresy modeling. It focussed on realism – chips in armour, gory scenes of butchery, and an emphasis on telling a story through the miniatures. In such a setting I like planting my feet in TMM (true metallic metal) as it serves my vision on the tabletop.
However, the study of NMM should be overlapped with TMM – they are two sides of the same coin. If you would like to push your learning further, there is a hefty tutorial on HTMM, Hybrid True Metallics – the synthesis of NMM and TMM. Click on the image below and descend into madness.
That’s a lot of acronyms to digest for one article. That was always MAgnus’ problem never knew when to stop. Stop reading, and go learn how to paint with Manus the Red NMM.
