I may have missed this in the last few months, but is there a definitive painting guide to the color scheme and heraldry for each of the main titan legions in the horus heresy? I've been thinking of picking some titans up, but I'm unsure of how to paint them; that is to say whether to make them army colors or to go traditional legion colors. Personally I'd prefer traditional legion colors but I don't know what colors the traitor legions are. At least they have transfers that are applicable now!

Thanks,

There's some examples of different Titan legions in the big black books.

YES. YES. YES. YES.

**warboss**

I'm not getting a 30k vibe from that but rather steampunk firefighters.

Have you not seen the rest of the Solar Auxilia? These fit right in. The Flamer section look like steampunk welders.

I really like the look of these. The axes look really cool.

**BrookM**

Those are proper boarding axes that look at home inside the tool kit of a seasoned voidsman from Saturn.

**zedmeister**

Nice looking Auxilia

As an aside, look at the terrain behind the new Tau Suit. Imagine that produced by Forgeworld. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if those were already created ready for moulding that will never see the light of day...

**BrookM**

That terrain is from GW HQ, built many years ago for a Tau codex release.

Hmm.. The Tau should simply do a 'Riverdance Suit' and be done with the pesky Marines.

I do like the Titan transfers, though. I can always paint simple symbols with a brush, but those look pretty ace.

**BrookM**

Only one release today..

Bit dissapointing that that's all we're getting, I was hoping for the Mor Deythan or something, but it's pretty cool. I did think it was already out though for some reason.

**BrookM**

I was hoping for a Veletaris squad with power axes myself.

**Fireball**

lamest friday release in a long time tbh

**BrookM**

Well, they've been doing weekly releases for quite some time now, it can't be a massive load every week.

**Mr Morden**

Cool looking axe wielders - horrible looking Tau thing.

**Tannhauser42**

So the Volkite arms cost the same points as the Kheres Assault Cannons. Trying to decide if nearly twice the range, twin linked, and deflagrate is better or equal to extra shots, rending, and AP4. I'm a Volkite nut to begin with, so it really is a tough choice for me.

**ImAGeek**

Did Contemptors always have 3 attacks?

**Yaraton**

For those who didn't get the FW letter.

**warboss**

Are volkites usually double "barrelled" or is that a twin linked thing for the dread like the lascannons?

**ImAGeek**

It's twin linked.

No. Per the CAL, Legion Contemptors have (had) 2 Attacks. Now if only they post updated rules for Contemptors in 40K.

**Ashiraya**

+1 attack? Don't mind if I do.

**Talys**

not on my shopping list, but those volkites look pretty neat

**Slayer-Fan123**

Where's my four attack Contemptors dammit!
Also where's my updated Badab stuff dammit!

Still, the Volkite weapon looks supreme. Wish it had rules for 40k.

Lol, i think the last we heard, they were trying to figure out if they should do an online FAQ or IA2 3rd edition for IA2 2nd edition and the Badab dudes

**Daston**

Ooh I have only used my 30k Spacewolfs once but already love Volkite weapons. Now a contemptor is on the to buy list

Just make a spacewolf one already!!!

Where did this info come from?

**BrookM**

From the news blurb today:

Inspiration comes from plenty of other places too. In the Forge World studio this week I caught sight of some amazing new transfer sheets, one of which has got me really excited about my Alpha Legion army. I've started painting a new squad being in anticipation already!
