HORUS HERESY BATTLEFIELD DIORAMA - the Siege of Terra's final days - Sons of Horus Vs. Sons of Dorn!

Warhammer's Siege of Terra books are nearing the end, so I made another diorama to commemorate that!
In this Warhammer Horus Heresy diorama, I wanted to look at the true face of the Galactic Civil War once it arrived on Earth. Sons of Horus and Imperial Fists fight to the death in the blackened ruins of scorched Terra, leaving mounds of casualties and gore-filled bomb craters.
With the relentless pace of the Siege of Terra, there’s no opportunity to pause and mourn the dead. Surviving Imperial Fists race over bloodied bodies towards their next objective or opponent.
I’ve used the Mk6 Space Marines, a Praetor, and the Spartan Land Raider from the Horus Heresy Age of Darkness starter set. I’ve been thinking long and hard about which diorama I should make with this huge set, and the recent Siege of Terra books by Dan Abnett and Aaron Dembski-Bowden sparked my imagination.

For once the algorithm actually did what its supposed to do and brought me here. Wonderful creativity, absolutely love your work! Instant Sub!

[@GrayPrimer]

That's brilliant to hear, thanks for watching (and for the sub!)

[@ciaraalan9307]

Impressive. So much carnage in one scene.

[@GrayPrimer]

Haha thanks very much, I tried to squeeze in as much as possible!

[@gracehall2040]

It's so very gooey looking.

[@GrayPrimer]

Right?! Even now, the blood effect still looks wet!

[@amytometich7637]

BEUTIFUL GORE!!!

[@GrayPrimer]

Haha, I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[@tomottens1967]

This is epic, always look forward to your videos!

[@GrayPrimer]

Ah thanks so much, sorry the build took so long!

[@stephenlooney5676]

Hey Nick, once again you knock it out of the park! Have just finished reading The end and death volume 1 and your diorama brings all the madness and gore to life brilliantly! Keep up the great work, always look forward to what you are going to come up next. The emperor protects!

[@GrayPrimer]

Thanks so much Steve, great comments like this are what keep me going on KZbin, and I really appreciate it!

[@kiwitotem7400]

looking at the absolutely brutalized bisected marine: "oof, that'll hurt in the morning." my brother in christ, my guy has already reached the ninth gate

[@GrayPrimer]

Haha brilliant! I think he'll pull through.

I don't understand half of the things he says (I'm using a translator) but it's always nice to see someone upload the process of creating a great diorama

[@GrayPrimer]

Pretty good diorama, but not quite on par with my favourite one: "Star Wars Toys in a Box, Still in the Original Packaging" by R. Wiggum.

[@GrayPrimer]

Yep that's hard to beat!
