Painting a Horus Heresy marine - Tutorial

First, let's put it in context, although you may already know it. The Heresy of Horus was the most catastrophic civil war in the history of the Empire of Humanity. It occurred in Millennium 31 and although it lasted barely 7 years, they were enough to separate and bring the young empire to the brink of ruin. This is the event that marks the end of the Great Crusade and led to the Emperor being confined to the Golden Throne.
