These are the tortuga bay justaerin compared to the older cataphractii. I'll definitely need to edge some greenstuff under the torso lol

Definitely the best face I’ve painted so far but the rest of this model is scary to start tackling!

I've got 5 on the sprue old cataphractii coming which I'll make a whole squad with some tortuga bay justaerin.

After that I think I'll need a preator and ive got so many CSM swords and pistols that I might as well get some MK3s and make some reavers

This is the first dreadnought I've painted and I am pretty happy with it. Just need to knock out a base for him.

A chaos lord I've been working on for my custom warband. Original model is a blade guard veteran I believe.

This guy has been sitting in my pile of unpainted shame for a couple years now. Finally got some motivation and had some fun!

So as title says ive been reading lore and man its hard to pin down what the Sons of horus are. You can literally look at any other legion(even ultras) and they have certain themes that ties army together.

Sons of horus seems all.over the place. You have part Egyptian being eye of horus and all that, part gang feel from cthonia, golden skulls and coins. They Gang up on people like nights lords, brutal like world eaters, strikes at command like a sniping ravenguard/alpha legion would do.

The change to sea green while they explain WHY they did it, but not WHY they chose that color.

Reavers, chieftains, and justarian dont have any similarities to any one common thing.

Main weapon is an Axe? But none of their characters outside or the first reaver uses one. I thought it would be a cool mace or claw because horus.

Don't know what the mournival connects to in any way.

They use lots of drop pods from what I gathered but I assume that's for.the sudden assualts.

Horus was just very charismatic for his power and didnt seem to have any crazy uniqueness to him.

He has a mace and claw which I assume claw connects to luna wolves but thats about it.

I would appreciate some help or ideas to get a grasp on the legion. As I really like them because they are cool but I also find them confusing lol. Seems like they just wanted a legion that looked like less spikey CSM in some ways.
