Luna Wolves – False Gods Color scheme

This video is a quick overview of how I paint a Warhammer Horus Heresy Luna Wolves Legionary Space Marine in Mark IV Armor.

The Armor is a kit-bash I’ve done by myself to create a Heresy 2.0 scale MK IV Armor. I simply used a MK VI heresy Armor, shoulders from the 40k First born kit and a MK IV Bolter and Helmet from the old MK IV set.

The painting style was inspired by the Horus Heresy Book – False Gods cover artwork.
For the whole mini including the base the process took around 2.5 hours.
