How to Paint: World Eaters | Horus Heresy Space Marines | Grimdark Weathering and Blood Effects

In this video, I demonstrate how to paint a brutal and battle worn World Eaters colour scheme for a Horus Heresy Centurion, using a combination of airbrush and traditional brush techniques. This approach is ideal for Legion characters and elite units, capturing the aggressive and blood soaked aesthetic of the XII Legion during the Great Crusade and Horus Heresy eras. You will learn essential techniques such as airbrushing, layering, glazing, edge highlighting, and weathering, including how to create a grimdark finish using oil weathering and realistic blood effects. Whether you are painting World Eaters for Horus Heresy, Warhammer 40K, or adapting this scheme for another Space Marine Legion or army, these methods are accessible, effective, and easy to follow. If you try this paint scheme, I would love to see your work! Tag me on Instagram @aurora.brushworks Commission painting slots are currently available! For a quote, please complete the form below.
