Horus Heresy (30K) · Knight Houses
House Griffith (Knight Houses) Paint List for Horus Heresy (30K)
White, red and bright steel, with clear martial heraldry that suits the 30K era. Big flat panels, so the freehand has room to breathe.
Build the white in clean coats and save the red for the quarters and honour markings. The frame should stay neutral so the heraldry remains dominant.

1
The white should stay clean and dominant, so avoid crowding the armour plates with secondary decoration.
2
A little Abaddon Black on the emblems is enough to echo the dragon heraldry without muddying the knight.
