Horus Heresy (30K) · Knight Houses
House Terryn (Knight Houses) Paint List for Horus Heresy (30K)
Blue and red over a steel frame, one of the most identifiable Knight houses. The 30K version keeps the same strong colour blocking.
Block in the large blue and red panels first, then keep the metal clean and secondary. The quartered contrast matters more than decorative flourishes.
