HiTBoXx Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 After reading the few books of the Heresy series 2 or 3 times over i have decided to make a pre-heresy luna wolves army. I have already acquired and painted several models. I have my Justaerin, Abaddon, Loken, Tarik Torgaddon, Little Horus Aximand, and some tactical squads i havent really put together yet. I really want to make Horus, but the gear he has from forgeworld does not really match up with what he was predominantly using during the pre-heresy. Specifically i want to give him a golden sword and i think it was some kind of bolter but i will have to read back through key points to check the gun. so what i was going to do is take this model: http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Images/Product/DefaultFW/xlarge/Horus-main.jpg cut the mace out of his hand and just add a sword. But the problem would come with the other hand when i add a gun. since he is a much larger scale model it might be awkward finding a hand that would work for him. the effective finished model would look somewhat to the effect of this: http://fc07.deviantart.net/fs71/i/2013/324/6/4/horus_character_design__1st_session_by_diegogisbertllorens-d6uzw3o.jpg any help or ideas are greatly appreciated in terms of his right gun hand.i believe it was on Davin was the best example of the sword and gun but it has been a while since i have read the books. This is an example of a few of my guys: http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a278/NevetsSymbiote/40k/lunawolves_zpsb1e6ad6f.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/300655-pre-heresy-luna-wolveshorus/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tymell Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 Looking at some Horus Heresy materials: In Horus Rising he wields a storm bolter on 63-19. He's also seen wielding one on Gorro in The Wolf of Ash and Fire, so that'd be a good bet for his usual gun weapon. In False Gods, on Davin he has a shining, golden sword, forged for him by Ferrus Manus when he became Warmaster, so this would only really be used between the Triumph of Ullanor and the Heresy itself. In Wolf of Ash and Fire he's seen wielding a different sword, with nothing specified about it.

Athrawes Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 I think that the sword you're referring that he used during the great crusade is a sister to the one wielded by Sanguinius. So I'd look at artwork of Sanguinius and his sword for how to make the one wielded by horus. Edit: just found the quote. Fear to Tread: " Against the Airflow, [sanguinius] unsheathed a wicked red sword with a curved, barbed hilt; it was the cousin to the blade held by his brother Horus far below."
