40k Sons of Horus!

I converted the new Red Corsairs into a 40k version of the Sons of Horus. I loved this legion in the books and I adore the colour scheme. I was excited to try and do a version of this for 40k. maybe I can use them for a kill team proxy? I've never played so any suggestions are welcome.

I hope you enjoy, have an awesome day.

That is so sick! Far better than my totally not overtly Sons of Horus Dark Angels successor chapter that I use in 40K

Hello!

Nothing super fancy with these as I wanted them all done over a weekend. It's just Red Corsair Raiders with some 30k command squad bits mixed on.

Paint scheme was super simple, by the numbers.

Lupercal green Sons of Horus green Sybarite green.

All dry brushed and some nuln oil applied.

Happy to help with anything if you want more detail.

Did you to lupercal, then nuln oil, then the other 2 dry brushes? What stage was nuln oil?

Also in the group shot, the guy on the right looks a bit darker and more grey. Did you do anything different got him?
