Games Workshop Citadel - Layer: Sons Of Horus Green (12ml)

Product Information

Compliance of Krypt (Unknown Date.M31) - The Compliance of Krypt was a relatively short campaign conducted during the Great Crusade by both the Luna Wolves and the Death Guard Legions against the Orks upon the frozen plains of the world of Krypt. Fighting together for more than a week across the frozen surface of the planet, the Space Marine Legions turned the blue ice dark with xenos blood. The Luna Wolves’ Captain Garviel Loken and his 10 th Company are known to have fought alongside Death Guard Battle-Captain Nathaniel Garro and his 7 th Great Company at this time. The rank of Captain within the Legion also held subtle variations of authority. Generally those in command of a lower numbered company outranked those in a higher numbered company, while those who had once had overall command of a campaign were considered superior to those officers he had commanded during that action. At the top of this informal but very real hierarchy of Legion officers were those Captains who served as Horus' closest advisors and in particular the First Captain of the Legion who commanded the elite 1 st Company and also served as his primarch's principal field officer and second-in-command. M31 — The Battle of Trisolian. The Vengeful Spirit is boarded by Leman Russ and Horus engages his brother in a vicious duel. Erebus gifted the weapon to the Chaos-corrupted form of Temba who the Warmaster had left behind on the Feral World of Davin sixty Terran years before. Temba had turned to the worship of Nurgle in the interim, being transformed into a bloated mutant and killing off most of his Imperial Army garrison in the process, transforming them into undead Plague Zombies that the newly renamed Sons of Horus were forced to mow down in waves.

They healed his grievous wound and filled him with the powers of the Warp. Renouncing his oath to the Emperor, Horus led his Legion into worship of the myriad Chaos Gods in the form of Chaos Undivided. He then sought to turn many of his fellow primarchs to the service of Chaos, and succeeded with Angron of the World Eaters, Fulgrim of the Emperor's Children and Mortarion of the Death Guard, who were the first of many to follow, along with many regiments of the Imperial Army and several Titan Legions of the Mechanicum. Wow what an amazing realistic looking green that’s super easy to do when you have the right paints! If you liked that guide be sure to start following SJP Painting over on Facebook today! SJP Painting Next with the transfers in place, I apply Citadel’s ‘Agrax Earthshade’ into the recesses to give the panels more definition. Having the model still covered in gloss varnish will allow the shade to flow more easily into the recesses. The Luna Wolves were the XVI th Space Marine Legion raised by the Emperor of Mankind on Terra at the dawn of the Great Crusade in the late 30 th Millennium. After the Emperor discovered the Legion's Primarch Horus on the world of Cthonia, and gave him command of the Luna Wolves, Horus went on to lead the XVI th Legion in earning thousands of battle honours over the span of the 200 standard years of the Great Crusade.

In other Space Marine Legions a company would form part of further layers of hierarchical military organisation, variously referred to as battalions, cohorts, chapters, regiments or by any number of other titles. Horus seems to have preferred to avoid this extra layer of fixed organisation, which eroded over time in the Legion and was largely academic by the time of their transition to become the Sons of Horus. The Triumph at Ullanor, an ancient mural portraying the gathering of the brother-primarchs at the Triumph of Ullanor; from left-to-right: Sanguinius, Mortarion, Magnus, Angron, Jaghatai Khan, Lorgar, Rogal Dorn, Horus and Fulgrim Like all of his brothers, Horus Lupercal was shot into space as a mere babe – but he didn’t go far. The future Warmaster landed near the Sol System, on Cthonia – a thoroughly unpleasant and entirely lawless world, riddled with abandoned mining tunnels and endless, bloody gang warfare. If you think Necromunda’s bad, trust us – it’s got nothing on Cthonia.

After his victory in the Solar War, Terra was invaded by Horus, and the Emperor's Palace itself was besieged and breached. However by this point the constant pull of the Ruinous Powers had seen Horus' mental state deteroriate, and he became increasingly withdrawn from the day-to-day affairs of the siege as his emissary Argonis became horrified by his apparent senility. [11b] In a bid to end the war to save the ever-decaying Horus, Abaddon and the Mournival led a subterranean assault on the Saturnine Gate. However the assault failed due to preparations by Rogal Dorn, and all the Mournival save Abaddon himself died in the assault. [11a] Following the disaster figures such as Indras Archeta, Azelas Baraxa, and Xhofar Beruddin rose to prominence, but these were poor copies of their predecessors and the Legion began to fracture into warlordism amidst Terra's ruins. [22]The following information is not to be regarded as officially sanctioned and/ or is not written from an in-universe point of view. A detailed explanation of the term "Trivia" as used in the Lexicanum can be found here. Horus initially declined this honour, not wishing to be set above his brothers, and so his Legion continued as the Luna Wolves for a little while longer. But Horus and the other primarchs never came to terms with the Emperor's absence. Their hurt feelings over his seeming abandonment of the Great Crusade to pursue a secret project whose purpose he chose not to reveal to his sons laid the seeds of jealousy and resentment that would ultimately blossom into the corruption that begat the Horus Heresy. First as the Luna Wolves and later as the Sons of Horus, the XVI th Legion maintained much of their Legion structure as it had existed since the wars for Terra and Solar Unity, which had adhered closely to the Terran pattern laid down by the Imperial Officio Militaris before the Space Marine Legions' unification with their primarchs.

A similar warrior lodge already existed in his own Legion, started after the Luna Wolves' first visit to Davin - this was an example of the Primarch's well-tried practice to develop ties with local populations at work; feral natives were more easily recruited into the Imperial fold when the 'Warriors from the Stars' had become brothers - and it is believed it was subsequently used by the Primarch to aid in the corruption of his Marines. Warrior lodges in other legions under his command were similarly used. Horus' fealty had changed; his Legion eventually came to believe that he was actually possessed by a Daemon. Whether or not this is true, it is certain that he was now allied body and soul to the Powers of Chaos, and he had a new vision for the Imperium with himself at its head. [1]A star system targeted for Imperial Compliance would often fall to the Legion in a single engagement: Luna Wolves warships would cut in from the system's edge, forming a spear formation that would break into many smaller blade tips to strike at the target system's planets, moons and space stations. Orbital bombardment and simultaneous mass orbital drops would break the enemy's strength and will to resist. Next apply some shading with another paint from Forgeworld’s airbrush paint range, ‘Sons of Horus Green’. This has been done with an airbrush focusing more towards the edges of the armour panels. M31 — The Siege of Cthonia. Captain Vheren Ashurhaddon leads a sizable force to retake the legion's Homeworld from the loyalists. Richard: I fell in love with dwarves and the fantasy tropes that they inspire when I was at school, so when I stumbled onto Warhammer in my teens it was inevitable that I would eventually collect an army of Dwarfs. Horus at first refused, fearing that to so set himself above his primarch brothers would lead to factional strife. Eventually he did institute this change, at his bother Sanguinius' urging, just prior to the events culminating in his conversion to the service of the Dark Gods of Chaos on the world of Davin.

Much of the Luna Wolves' reputation was the reflection of the qualities of their primarch. Horus' charisma and unequalled record of victories, as well as his known closeness to the Emperor, lent him a measure of respect unrivaled among his brother primarchs. Horus demonstrated an almost preternatural talent for wielding the relative strengths of the other Legions to their best advantage on a strategic level. Horus was said by some to be without peer as a commander and a ruler within the Imperium, surpassed only by the Emperor Himself. Lastly I apply Citadel’s ‘Leadbelcher’ to the deepest looking ‘chips’ to represent battle damage thats worn right down to the metal. To finish the green I then line highlight the armour panels with ‘Lupercal Green’ by brush to give both the chipping effect and panels more definition. Like most of the embryonic Space Marine Legions, the XVI th Legion drew all of its first recruits from the Terran population. Though it is difficult to be certain based on the existing Imperial records from this lost time, there are indications that many of the XVI th Legion's early intake came from the hunter clans of the Jutigran Bowl and the Samsatian sub-plate slums. Perpetual conflict and the harshness of life on the desolate margins of Terran society had given these people the hard edge of ruthlessness and independence that would serve a Space Marine well.

M30 — Battle of Davin — Compliance action. Undertaken in concert with the Word Bearers. Victorious. [1, 4] Not long after the change, Horus was wounded on the moon of Davin by Eugen Temba, an old subordinate who was under the influence of the Chaos Power Nurgle. Horus recovered in the Temple of the Serpent Lodge, a warrior and healing lodge on the planet. During his convalescence, he took part in the induction ceremony of the lodge. In the days that followed, some of Horus' officers detected a change in his character. It is now known that the warrior lodge was in fact a Chaos coven, which somehow managed to ensnare the Warmaster, allegedly due to scheming from Lorgar, Primarch of the Word Bearers. [4b]
