If you can't find what you're looking for or if you have a question that's not answered in the relevant post, please feel free to send me a private message. Regards, Kizzdougs. For more regular updates check out my Instagram account @raptorimperialis I've recently been feeling the urge to start a new 40K project. After much musing and many false starts, i've decided on the Thousand Sons, Pre-heresy. They aren't my favourite legion or chapter but the TS have always be a legion full of character, imagery and conversion opportunities. A perfect combination in my opinion. This project has been at least two years in the planning process. It all started when i converted a PH TS sorcerer for a conversion competition at my local GW (which i was lucky enough to win). After building the Sorcerer i knew i had to make some more TS, they are just so fun and different. Unfortunately it has taken me over two years to finally get here. The Sorcerer who started it all. He is a relatively simple kit bash with minimal GS work. I took inspiration from the Thousand Sons art in 'Collected Vissions', especially that of Ahriman and Uthizarr. http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l522/kizzdougs/photo-3.jpg The test mini. I used bits from several kits to build this terminator, the majority are from the GK terminator kit and the Tomb Guard kit (WHFB). http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l522/kizzdougs/DSCN0290.jpg?t=1313302289 With crest added. I can't decide whether to give all the terminators these crests or just keep them for the squad leaders. Any opinions and suggestions are welcome. http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l522/kizzdougs/DSCN0291.jpg?t=1313302233 http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l522/kizzdougs/DSCN0292.jpg?t=1313302169 A close up of the force weapon. Such a simple conversion but i'm fairly happy with how it turned out. Sorry about the bad lighting. http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l522/kizzdougs/DSCN0289.jpg?t=1313302359 Hopefully this project will develop and progress at a not too slow pace (fingers crossed). I plan on adding some Sisters of Silence and maybe even some Custodes at a later stage. I'm certainly feeling the necessary inspiration at the moment. Any and all suggestions and advice are more than welcome, as are questions and queries.

What would you say is the best loadout and role for two squads of Sons of Horus Cataphractii Terminators? One squad will be with Maloghurst in a Landraider and the other will be with a Master of Signals in a Landraider..

Been making a bit of progress since the sun stopped trying to kill us all :D First up as i finally made a decision on basing (Desert to match the current other member of the drop out filled group project) i based the apothecaries i recommissioned from unfinished Iron warriors as testers. 302176213_10160193461300797_8508922370391818114_n Then on to Infantry, which by effectively raw chance turned out to be my super flex recon/veteran squad(s) the first 5 of which have turned out alright i think (tidied up the camera spotted sins post photo) all fairly straightforward work, though its been a while since i worked from a coloured basecoat instead of a straight zenithal. I did have a mad struggle with squad designation, the new book just gives the Sons the Codex markings (zzzz) and the older ones only seem to deal with specialist squads rather than a broader selection. Ech in the end i went for a claw rune and probably something fancier for the others. Thats a problem for future Nos though.

I'm still fairly new to Warhammer 30k. I play regularly with the same group of friends since 1 Year. I play Sons of Horus, while he plays Blood Angels. My question or problem is that I always feel like I'm losing and only win games through lucky dice rolls. I feel like my units are much more expensive than his elite units in terms of points/performance. The only thing that works somewhat well are Terminators or Justaerin. But I can't just send Terminators onto the field, can I? I think that would be a bit boring. For example, a 10-man squad of Dawnbreakers with spears, Rent 5, and AP3 costs 275 points with a 2+ armor save. My alternative Reaver Aggressor Squad with Lightning claws costs 475 points with only a 3+ armor save. And the claws are only rending on a 3+ and AP3. So despite investing 200 more points, I lose the duel. Even a 5-man squad of Justaerin costs 275 points and loses against the 10 x Dawnbreaker with the same points. In addition, the Dawnbreakers have jump packs and can simply choose their fights. Example 2: Angel Tears with assault cannons. 10 men cost 390 points. The only thing I could shoot against them, other than a squad of 7 Justaerin, would be veterans, but they are much more expensive to have the same firepower, and would probably not survive the reaction when they enter close combat. My problem is also that he has Jump Packs on almost all of his units and can therefore choose his fights, while I can't get close to him. Of course, he doesn't run his Angels Tears into my Justaerin, but rather shoots down my Marines/Dispoilers/Reavers. I already load everything into Rhinos or drop them, but that doesn't help because Rhinos are often shot down, for example, by the 40 shots from the assault cannons, or when dropping, the interception reaction kills a large part of my army that is not Justaerin. He also has a squad of Crimson Paladins with Raldoron running around where I need my Abaddon Squad. We play 2.6k points, and usually it goes like this: Raldoron Squad>Abaddon Squad with Justaerin; Angels Tears>everything except Justaerin; Dawnbreaker>everything except Justaerin. Any ideas on what I can do as Sons of Horus against Angels Tears and Dawnbreaker with Jetpacks? Thanks and regards
