Horrus Fluff?

[EricJ]

Hi all, I was hoping someone with more books on 40k fluff than me might be able to help me with a little of the background fluff on Horrus. Specifically

1) What was his pre-chaos corruption SM chapter?

2) What was that chapters colors/appearance/theme?

3) Which Chaos god corrrupted him?

Thank you!

Hi Eric your right they don\'t put a lot of fluff in the new books but have no fear I have been a follower of the chaos goods for about 8 years now(mainly Khorne) but have amassed so good deal of back story on the herasy so heres the skinny.

1: Horus\'s chapter was the luner wolves

2: there colors where codex grey and over all they where a lot like the space wolves after his death they painted there armor black to honer him becoming the black legon.

3: he was undivided he liked the factthey rewarded worship on like the emporer who was said after one campain insted of thanking them for all the monuments bilt to him he just scolded them for not getting it done faster.

hope this helps and if you PM me with a email I should have some pics of the old chapter inmy rouge trader books.

Thanks a ton! I\'m a bit of a flunky at using the U2U system, I think I just sent you a blank pm, however I just updated my info and my email should now be at the bottom of all my posts.

I\'d love to see whatever you have!

Undivided? I am thinking of including a rendering of a chaos god corrupting horrus, so what would an undivided god look like?! ???

(I little hint at my first GD entry, just in concept stage now)

No problem I will send you some pics some time this week redoing my up stairs right now so will have to search a couple of boxes to find it teach me not to mark them

the deamon youare pretty much up to your amgination just try to stay away from the key colors (red)khorne (green)nurgle (pink)slaaness (blue)tzeench

My personal vote is for the faer deamon from the phantom toll both lol

My idea of Chaos Undivided would be all four gods equally.

Horus\'s Chapter was the Luna (not Lunar) Wolves, who became the Sons of Horus around the time of the Heresy, and then the Black Legion afterward.

If you can find yourself a copy a book titled The Hours Heresy Vol1: Visions of War it\'s from GW/ The black Library. That will give you loads of art depicting the pre-heresy colors of the traitor marine chapters. The Black Legion did start out as the Luna Wolves, but prior to the heresy they changed there name to The Sons Of Horus. As the Sons of Horus they were a greenish gray with black trim. The chapter had two symbols: one was something like an egyptian eye with an arrow extending straight down from the pupil (sorta like the current Black Legion Eye with out all eight arrows radiating outward), and the other looks like a round eye yellowish with the vertical catlike pupil in black.
The fluff goes that during fighting on a moon of Davin Horus was mortally wounded by an assasin\'s blade while battling plague worshippers. None of the apothocaries could cure him. They enlisted the aid of shamans on Davin and Hours was brought into a tribal lodge dying. couple days later he walks out healthy, and had all his officers undergoe the \"treatment\". Then he invites other primarchs to try it out. It is believed during the treatment that Horus was fully corrupted by chaos.
Hope that helps...

Also if you can get your hands on any of the 2nd edition codexes, mainly any marine chapter and the chaos will have some material on the subject.
Another great resource is the 2nd edition book titled \'Codex Imperialis\' (sp?) and it is loaded with info about everything in the 40k universe.
On the net there is a 40k fluff bible floating around somewhere, perhaps you maybe able to acquire it.
