Every story has an origin, and for many this Mike McVey Diorama was what kicked off Horus Heresy fever for the last 25+ Years.
Way back in the day master builder/painter/converter Mike McVey (yes that McVey) made this Diorama while he was at Games Workshop, and it’s been the basis for countless stories and art for this epic period in 40k history.
It was originally showcased in White Dwarf #45 – checkout that old school Heresy fluff as well!

Bio: Virginia restless, miniature painter & cat dad. He blames LEGOs for all this, as there was something about those little-colored blocks that started it all. Spikey Bits started with Rob trying to stay motivated to hobby on his backlog of projects and share his knowledge with others during the early blogging era.
Scale model hobbyist in the 80s, miniature wargamer, and trading card player ever since. He’s played every edition of Warhammer 40k and Warhammer Fantasy since 5th Edition, but Titans of all sizes will always be his favorite! It’s even rumored that his hobby vault rivals the Solemnance Galleries, containing rulebooks filled with lore from editions long past, ancient packs of black-bordered Magic Cards, and minatures made of both pewter and resin.
