In this tutorial, Dunc shows you, in detail, how to paint a Horus Heresy era Thousand Sons Legionary from Games Workshop, in their iconic metallic red armour, from start to finish. We show you how to get a fantastic result quickly and easily. This Legion, done in this way, looks awesome on the table top and really pops out.
