Loken Defiant – Forge World Best in Show
The votes are in and we have a winner! One of the most inspirational figures from the Heresy, and perhaps the whole character line overall, Gavriel Loken has won Forge World’s best in show award at this years Weekender.
Painted by Andy Wardle this version of Loken quite the sight to behold.
Via Forge World
He also painted this Horus as well!
Grats Andy! I doubt we’ll ever see this level of detail in plastic from Games Workshop, but plastic Heresy era armor would awesome if the rumors are true!
Which of these do you like more, Loken or Horus?

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.
