<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "Legion Colors?"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/31.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net Legion Colors? HH collection (at the end of Galaxy In Flames ATM) and I have some queries about the "Traitor legions" colors. Firstly who are the white marines with green trim on the Galaxy In Flames Cover? The symbol looks like death guard, but the books state that death guard have no paint on their armour. Secondly who are the grey marines on the cover of Horus Rising? (I think their the world bearers but im not sure) Finally what actually is the paint scheme for the sons of Horus? I think its sort of metallic green but I cant find any pictures of them anywhere. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/294365/1565188.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/294365/1565188.page GMT Re:Legion Colors? Horus rising : Luna wolves. XIII legion and the eye of terra/horus should hint on them.

The luna wolves switched to a weird shade of green ( IIRC nothing metallic ) after beeing renamed to sons of horus.
Were originally white.

because when your in war somtimes your armour gets a bit dirty when explosions are going off all around you, shells flying through the air, cities burning and invisible dudes that are trying to blow your head off. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/294365/1565848.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/294365/1565848.page GMT Legion Colors? http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Black_Legion

You sure about those Iron Warrior colours? Green doesn't seem very Iron-like to me...]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/294365/1568093.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/294365/1568093.page GMT Legion Colors? ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/294365/1577984.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/294365/1577984.page GMT Re:Legion Colors?

Im not sure if its "really" a metaphor but its just the physical representation of their desent into chaos and evil (depending how you look at it)


Also i took a look at horus rising again and if you look at the fluff the cover art isnt actually correct! The marines armour was definatly grey (i already said battle damage probably caused this) but they had a pink shoulderpad with the eye of horus on it and gold/bronze trim, as far as i know the legion never adopted this colour scheme, the eye was when they were sons of horus and they had a wolf when they were the luna wolves. Also they never had pink or anything like it, no company markings or anything like that mentions them as having a pink shoulderpad,so its just another HH screw up

Oh if you want a great Sons of Horus colour scheme i found the one included with Firestorm Over Kronus for Dark Crusade was the best, well everything in that mod was awesome but anyway check it out.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/294365/1592873.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/294365/1592873.page GMT Re:Legion Colors?
Also, in regards to the cover art, that's a harsh reality of publishing. Frequently cover artists have their heads up their asses. Sometime, look up the various cover for the novel Orcs. Some artists apparently never even heard of an orc. Sometimes the cover art bears no resemblence to anything in the book, or wildly changes certain aspects. (Another great example of cover art that doesn't match the books is the Noble Dead saga, by Barb and JC Hendee.) If it helps, I had similar confusion at first.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/294365/1592914.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/294365/1592914.page GMT Legion Colors?

for their descent into Chaos. First they were pure and innnocent (white). Then things got muddyed up a bit when the broke some of the Emperor's decrees and fraterized with chaos and renamed themselves The Sons of Horus. Then straight up unapologfetically evil: Black Legion. many other stories have used similiar visual cues.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/294365/1592944.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/294365/1592944.page GMT Re:Legion Colors?

Except that isn't why they changed their colour to Black. They changed to Black armour in mourning of Horus' death and their defeat (Going by the earlier Chaos Codi). The fact that they changed it to black once they were also UberBadChaosRawr was just coincidental.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/294365/1593133.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/294365/1593133.page GMT Re:Legion Colors?

Yes, therefore its a metaphor.
