I have been noticing chapter symbols on opposite sides, on some Horus Heresy Minis...For instance World Eaters chapter symbol on the left side and the unit type on the right...Did traitor units do this to different themselves on the battle field? Or is this something artists started for some reason? It's boggling my mind.

It might be a throwback to the fact that the original minis in the RTB01 box had studded pads on one shoulder, so everything was on the other.

I know that’s why I personally have reversed the codex standard.

But just a blind guess offically.

If there's a studded left shoulder pad then the Legion symbol goes on the right shoulder instead, this is most commonly seen on Mk5/6 armour. Otherwise the Legion symbol goes on the left shoulder.

GC/HH-era insignia were highly non-standardized both within and across legions. Feel free to put pretty much any legion icon, company icon, or squad type icon on either pauldron.
