Julgolax Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 Now, I am no modelling expert and I dont have loads of money to kick around to convert my dream army of thousand sons (and boy I want to do so badly), but as a matter of appearence, would thousand sons ever bear trophy racks, hooks, chains, spikes, claws, etc? I know this might have been asked before but I would like to know if the "clean and smooth" theme of Tzeentchian Thousand Sons has changed or should be changed. I personlly want to do an army that is very "egyptian" themed with every unit bearing the signature "pharoh's crest" in some way whether it be a defiler with a huge crest on it's torso or a tank with obsidian stonework laid into the armor like a golden necklace from egypt. BUT. What about "chaosey" things? I wanna hear what YOU have to say :lol:. BTW, If anyone knows of any tutorials for making those crests yourself, please PM or share. Thank you.

Ardus Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 I would say that a cleaner look would be what you are looking for. Instead of hooks, spikes and body parts you should go for scrolls, books and relic items. Take a look at the Tomb Kings army and the Thousand Sons army in 2008 catalogue. Plasticard could be used to make a lot of your crests, either by cutting out the shape and scoring it with a exacto knife or by gluing small pieces together. you can pick it up at train hobby stores.

Deneris Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 I'm a strict adherrent to the "clear and smooth" Thousand Sons- We don't NEED the trophy racks of other Legions/warbands/Space Wolves :P. I also believe in the Egyptian look for Thousand Sons, and have looted bits from the Tomb Kings of Fantasy AND Warmaster (The Warmaster Sphinxes make great lesser daemons- Animated guardian statues). I'm currently working on a squad of Ushabti that will "count as" Terminators with lightning claws... There's a wealth of bitz out there for us Thousand Sons lords- it's just a matter of finding them... or a tank with obsidian stonework laid into the armor like a golden necklace from egypt. If I were you I'd look at the Forge World Thousand Sons Rhino/Land Raider doors- they REALLY look like stone/goldwork AND really look great on tanks.

chillin Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 Yes I think the T'son should have a different look then other csm's, Egyptian stuff, scrolls, magic items and books, etc. Leave the skulls and spikes etc to us BL, WE, WB's etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
