I just noticed that there was a painting guide available for download on the Forgeworld website http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/downloads/product/pdf/h/Horus_Heresy_Painting_Guide.pdf. That in addition to the small guide present in the last issue of WD should help the start of one of the legions...

What the hell is with the Death Guard???? its still way off the Described color's from books and from all the heresy Era art work.......Go FW\GW! Also did a 5 year old paint some of the mini's for them? The Emperor's Children & Sons of Horus models look terrible........ Oh and Death Guard are Light Grey... (Well there Administration Grey with a black wash to be exact and Dark Jade for the green)

I'm agree that the colour schemes from WD look better than the one present on FW website. In particular the green for the Death Guard looks very strange in comparison to the one present in Betrayal Book or on the figurines already presented by FW .... Very surprising

I think the EC purple is a bit too dark and flat personally. I prefer the Death Guard and World Eater schemes though. Hope they change some of the others to be frank, Thousand Sons pre-Heresy colours are really dull. Barely different from Blood Angels

Well, I've just dived into my Heresy books and pulled out, from the one where they go to the moon On Davin and it talks about Loken sitting lapping his 'Metallic, Greenish Hued Armour'. That paint guide won't give you that. Annnddd wot's with all the 20% of this and 25% of that? Thought the new paints were designed to do away with mixing then! I think I'll stick with my own ideas for me Angron models marines thanks very much!
