PS I also started daemon Magnus this week. Current status - primed black, armor primed silver. Figure I can start to use my 30k thousand sons as 40k thousand sons - couple units of rubric marines, couple hellforged dreads and tanks (leviathan, contemptor, sicaran) from the FW index, daemon magnus, badda bing badda boom - traitor legion.

I am extremely tempted to get the Magnus figure and the diorama to go with my Leman Russ model. What gold did you use?

I am tempted to get the russ figure and the diorama as well! Twinsies!
The gold is Retributor armor, washed reikland fleshade, rehighlighted retributor armor, then highlighted liberator gold, then highlighted on the sharpest edges with runefang steel. Gives a super cool pale gold that still has a little warmth to it from the reikland.

Update incoming - magnus is 99% DONE and looking great, though he was a pain in the ass to paint with all the fiddly details FWs stupid sexy scuilptors put into him.
Only waiting on a paint delivery to finish the ethereal flames on his base. Everything else is done!
Also been working on terrain for my home set up. Pine bark for $5 on Amazon creates some awesome scatter terrain that look like rock formations.
Pictures incoming!

This means I need to get on converting Sisters with grenade launchers.
Can't wait to see a finished Magnus!

I was gluing magnus' cape to his torso in one of the final steps to calling him completed...and my superglue nozzle must have had an airbubble.
What should have been a dab of glue was an explosion as the bubble popped, and magnus has superglue all over his finely detailed armor now.
Trying to clean up as much of it as I can, and it looks like it will be salvageable for the most part after scraping and repainting much of his armor, but holy shit.
Don't be like me guys lol be careful out there.

Didn't get a picture of the damage, but here's a quick mock up of where the damage occurs: The thick red area being the most damaged. Silver lining - most of the damage on the back, butt, and rear waist of the model will be easily covered up with the cape of the model. But I have already spent about an hour scraping off the glue and paint from the hip pad, detail on the side of the chest, and the "wing" area of his belt buckle, and the detail is going to be very hard to recover. I've slapped a coat of brush on primer over the area before heading to work today, so we'll see when I get home how the detail actually looks once the primer dries...if I'm lucky, it will have a bit of texture, but the damage hopefully won't jump out at people who aren't looking for it.
