How do you paint pre-heresy marines. Any legion is fine. Please include pictures please.

Sons of Horus are a greenish-white, I've seen them often with green detailing as well.

Thousand Sons are Red. Plain and simple.

"From the fires of Betrayal unto the blood of revenge we bring the name of Lorgar, the Bearer of the Word, the favored Son of Chaos, all praise be given to him. From those that would not heed we offer praise to those who do, that they might turn their gaze our way and gift us with the Boon of Pain, to turn the Galaxy red with the blood, and feed the hunger of the Gods."

-Excerpt from the Three Hundred and Forty-First

Book of Epistles of Lorgar

You might also consider buying the collected Horus Heresy "visions" (art from the CCG) as source material.

Sons of Horus are one of my things.
To emulate the card game and cover of Horus Rising use 60% adeptus battlegrey 40% goblin green

But I am a purist and go for the Index Astartes article and by descripitions in the book a Pale Sea Grey. Vallejo Game color makes a damn good color called Light sea grey which makes great Sons of Horus IMO
