Discussion Eye or Horus on Iron Warriors Dread?

Post image
161 Upvotes

Snaged the Saturnine Box set and reading up on lore to get my chapter decals andn markings set and came across this article on the warhammer community page. It talked about a “notorious” iron warrior saturnine dread but I noticed it had the eye of Horus. Just curious, I think it looks cool but why would the iron warriors have that emblem in their dread.

And with the Scouring being rumored to be explored in the setting, I can’t imagine iron warriors still repping Horus after the siege of Terra. What do the lore buffs think?

I found this article on the website golden-throne.com. Sadly it doesn’t mention anywhere which kits were used. I mean obviously the contemptor dread. But the rest is more tricky. Please help finding the bits!

Question/Query Mixed armor marks, which powerpack for all marines?

Post image
236 Upvotes

Digibashed spacemarines for my first army. Went with heavily mixed armor marks. I want to give everyone one type of powerpack to tone down the randomness and bring back uniformity. The shoulders and helmets will also be a random mix. Just need to think which powerpack would suit my army the most. Mk6?
