Traitor Legion colour schemes during/post-Terra/Scouring

[Joe]

A bit of an odd question, but one that I'd be grateful to get an answer to; what were the colour schemes/general appearance of the Traitor Legions during and after the Battle of Terra, and leading on into the Scouring? I'm aware that the Sons of Horus/Black Legion changed their colours sometime during the Scouring, however I'm more interested in the likes of the World Eaters and the Thousand Sons.

[Emperor's Furor]

Thousand Sons were still red, World Eaters were mostly drenched in the dried blood of their enemies so probably mostly red with the normal livery below.

[Vesper]

The Sons of Horus that joined the Black Legion got to take the Black during the Legion Wars in the Eye of Terror. Which is after the Scouring.

[DuskRaider]

It was mostly the same. World Eaters by that time had taken the red / brass scheme (they're shown in Retribution to be on this path early in the Heresy), Emperor's Children probably don't really have a unified scheme anymore, and Death Guard would have their white / green scheme, but much more rotted, rusted, and moldy.

[Joe]

That's fantastic, thank you. I managed to borrow a mates copy of Retribution earlier and checked up on the World Eaters and saw they'd switched from white/blue to white/red by the mid-Heresy. As WoT already pointed out it's likely they'd switched to completely red by the time the end of the Heresy rolled around.

 

Cheers again.

Just keep in mind that you'll find early/late-adopters across all legions as well.  Whether for defiance or simply uninformed, individuals spouting the old/new colors would still be present throughout the entire heresy.

Black legion is definitely post scouring.

I'd like to point out that even by the time of the novel Khârn: Eater of Worlds, which takes place during the Scouring shortly before the battle of Skalathrax, there were still World Eaters who wore the white and blue of the old Legion. It wasn't a universal change, at any rate.

What? about how the da changed their color scheme after betraying the war master and siding with the imperium?

World Eaters use both schemes during the Siege, some are still blue/white, some are mixed and other are full red/brass (see the Khârn novella). 

 

Death Guard were full Plague Marines mode during the Siege already ^^

Isn't it in the Eye of Terror ?

Well technically the Death Guard never actually repainted their armour, Nurgle's Rot just took over.

Sorry, that's what I meant. By Scouring, I meant pre-1st Black Crusade. But my point still stands. There were World Eaters still in the colors of the old Legion after the Siege of Terra.
