House Griffith (Knight Houses) Paint List for Horus Heresy (30K)

intermediate Knight Houses

White, red, and bright steel. House Griffith relies on clear martial heraldry that matches the most common published references.

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.

Recommended undercoat white — Several priority paints in this army converge on white.

Tips

Hints for this army
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.
