Painting EVERY Space Marine Legion for Warhammer the Horus Heresy!

Painting my way through every Space Marine Legion ! Which should I choose? Which is your favourite? I have been binging Horus Heresy novels over the last few months and with each new novel I become interested in a new legion. So I thought I would paint them all!

[@coma-cody]

The comment you made about the contemptor Dreadnought being your favorite painted piece of all-time always sits with me. For some reason all of the resin characters just looks so amazing, and the paint job that green and red and black, something about it is just so striking. So besides my normal three armies I really focus on, I'm actually doing the same thing and every month I build a character and maybe a few more units, soon I'm going to have an entire shelf and hopefully it will look just as amazing as yours do. I think I'm also going to upload videos of the ones I do conversions on

[@daiatnara971]

Great work on the Emperor's Children marine (and the others, but I always focus on the EC; wrote their Index Astartes back in the day, I'm sentimental). Great choice of head swap for him, and the base is chef's-kiss ideal.

[@ericlang7408]

At 8:24 that iconic Mk-III "Iron Armor" looks a lot like Mk-II "Crusade" Armor. Mk-III is characteristic in its heavy plating towards the front of the wearer, whereas the Mk-II has the obvious "banding" on the lower legs.

[@nostear8261]

Mk3 is just an upgrade kit for Mk2.

[@lazlopwent7960]

@@nostear8261 Mk-II was universal and early "void armor". Mk-III was specialized for close combat and boarding actions. That is why the heavier armor was placed towards the front or "advancing" portions of the armor. It is an evolution over the MK-II, but it was also more limited in use. The MK-IV expanded on the concept of total amor enclosure while also allowing greater movement. All Marks of armor are an evolution of the original MK-I. Some traits were seen as a detriment to overall effectiveness and were improved in later Marks. Some traits were a result of supply/manufacturing issues (MK-V). I fail to see how Mark-III is *just* an improvement kit for an earlier Mark. Visuals aside, the lore provides for a great deal of design and modifications between Marks.
