darnarth lysander Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 hello! I wanted to know if sons of horus during the heresy could be done with just chaos space marine models painted in the colours of the sons of horus,that also brings me on to the other question I had,Did the evil sons of horus change their chapter colours? thanks in advanced.

Trevak Dal Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 I don't believe they changed their Legion colors until after Abaddon led them against the Emperor's Children to get back the body of Horus and kill off all the clones of Horus. They got a pretty good method of doing Heresy Era Sons of Horus in the New-Hotness White Dwarf (along with World Eaters, Death Guard and Emperor's Children), as well as Chaos versions in the New Hotness paints of Alpha Legion, Black Legion, Red Corsairs and...another one that escapes me at the moment, as well as some cool effect painting for like, runes, power cores and such. My friend bought the new mag today, so I don't have it personally, but here's the colors as I remember it someone who has it should correct me if I'm wrong: Prime :> Base:> Mechanicus Standard Grey :: Layer:> Warpstorm glow :: Shade:> Nuln Oil (I think it may have been Drakenhoff Nightshade...I don't recall but it was a 'blueish' grey-green look to it) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/261610-heresy-era-sons-of-horus/#findComment-3183744 Share on other sites More sharing options...
darnarth lysander Posted September 23, 2012 Author Share Posted September 23, 2012 Well i have the magazine anyway,but the sons of horus's colours in the WD are the ORIGINAL legion,so they are before the heresy and the ones who stayed loyal to the emperor.

Subtle Discord Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Trevak Dal has the gist of it - Pre-Heresy would have them as the Luna Wolves; A very pale blue-grey colour. Leading up to, and during the Heresy they would be the Sons of Horus (renamed in honour of their deeds); This is the pale Green-Grey/Turquoise colour scheme. Once Abaddon took control (even before destroying the clones of Horus, if I recall) they were renamed The Black Legion, and painted their armour Black to completely erase their past, and as a sign of their failure during the Heresy. you may want to have a look at Sheep's Sons of Horus thread. Sheep has really nailed a good colour for the Sons that is not too 'mint green', which is the hardest part of doing the Sons of Horus, in my opinion.

caprera Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 I would paint them like this, with Black Veterans & Termies. http://i47.tinypic.com/16gzrt.jpg It all depends by the time setting you choose. Just before\during\just after the Horus Heresy the "green" armour is fine. After Abbadon's retreat, well everybody knows, total black.
