The Den Of Imagination Unleashes The Primarchs
December 19, 2013 by brennon
The Den of Imagination has been putting together some amazing projects surrounding the Primarchs of the Horus Heresy for Warhammer 40,000. The most recent project is Horus Lupercal...
As you can see he is one monstrous piece of sculpting awesome and seems to have drawn from some of the great artwork that we've seen of Horus versus The Emperor. It would be awesome to see what he looks like painted up, and since these guys are a painting company I imagine that isn't far away.
They have also worked on Leman Russ and Perturabo in the past and they both look pretty epic. Leman Russ in particular is quite the awesome Space Viking.
The latest work in progress is for Konrad Cruze and you can see he is coming along well. I reckon at the rate they are going they are going to be pushing through and completing all the Primarchs!

Eg would converting a Terminator model into a Primarch be ok to sell?
Im not asking from a moral perspective but from a legal one.
I’m not a lawyer and nor have I played one on TV, so if anyone can add to my limited understanding then please do so. As ever, these are issues of both copyright and trademark. GW’s copyright means that only they have the right to copy. When you buy a mini from them you own that single instance but not the right to copy. That means you can sell that mini, because you own it, but you couldn’t recast from it. In the case of a conversion, then as you own the single instance that you have converted then as… Read more »
After looking at their webite no matter how nicely painted Centurions are they still look like crap.
So the next time someone mutters about needing to drop some Centurions off at the pool…
Those look really good and are also very well detailed.
