This is something of a rolling thread showing off not only my Iron Hands Successors, but my heresy-era Iron Hands from Clan Company Vurgaan. Honestly, this is a bit spontaneous and IH exclusive, and very broad in what I'm covering. So I thought this thread would be better placed in the IH Sub-forum than anywhere else. But it's WIP-ish, so I'm not sure if it truly belongs here or not. I'm sure the wiser Frater here will tell me otherwise! But, here's some pictures and some blurb about what I have for my Iron Hands Successors, the Stone Drakes: Tactical Squad http://i.imgur.com/JXyvpcT.jpg http://i.imgur.com/39nZG1w.jpg http://i.imgur.com/GKgXCLT.jpg They were a test bed for this colour scheme I devised for them, and it came out better than I expected. The plasma coils need a change though. And here is the burgeoning beginnings of my Clan Vurgaan force. These are a mix of paint-tested Iron Warriors who are undergoing 'Redemption Protocols' in dettol soon, alongside some former Sons of horus. Not pictured: The other 10 Tactical Marines, Apothecary and Shield/hammer champion undergoing 'Redemption Protocols'. http://i.imgur.com/MCb861n.jpg On top of this, a large order of Iron Hands is heading my way from Forge World. Hopefully this should be an interesting combined project, since in my head, these two forces are closely tied together.

Now that I am fully committed to a Thousand Sons / Tzeentch army for 40k I plan on using this forum as a way to track my progress and stay motivated when it comes to painting/playing. This log will serve as a journal of my trials and tribulations; Painting/Hobby, Battle Reports, Ramblings, and possibly a little fluff/narrative. Ill start with a little background about myself. Ive been on a long hiatus from 40k, having not played since early 6th (best guess and even then it wasn't very much). During the interim I was still playing a little Warhammer Fantasy from time to time but not much in the way of actual wargaming. About a year or so ago I got the "bug" again and got into the local Age of Sigmar scene using my Dark Elves, the only miniatures I still owned. I dabbled with a few other models/projects and was enjoying the games played, but i was never really satisfied, something was always missing. When Disciples of Tzeentch was released it was exactly what I was after, I was all in. I was always a chaos fanboy and when it comes to chaos, Tzeentch was my deity of choice. The AoS model range was amazing and the DoT rules captured the essence of an army dedicated to the God of Change perfectly. I quickly amassed a sizable Tzeentch force and spreading his influence across the realms. The new edition of 40k has me looking to expand into the 41st millennium thanks to all the positive press from the internet and my local scene. While I could run a pure demon force with what I currently own, its really not what draws me to chaos. I prefer the influence, the corruption, the struggle, and conflict. I prefer a demonic presence to be more of a supportive/looming power that is not fully understood by those that seek to manipulating/control their power. Which leads me to the XV traitor legion, the Thousand Sons. The Thousand Sons have an amazing narrative/background driving them. Their model line is great and by using what I already have for AoS I can get a playable army on the table sooner rather than later. I want to take it a step further this time. I have never had a fully painted army and I want this to be the first. I usually get bored or distracted by the latest/greatest release and succumb to gamer ADD. The wide variety of units/models and vibrant color schemes Tzeentch offer should help keep me from getting burnt out doing the same thing over and over and still contributing to a singular overall army. That and some peer pressure and encouragement from the community. To start things off, heres my initial Thousand Sons purchase/force. Appreciate any and all insight along the way. *edited for clarity and issues with attaching picture
