Narse Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 Hey, i've recently come back to the hobby from a 8 year absence. At that time the thousand sons where designed to be my grand tournament army and allow me to focus on my painting skills. I just picked up some 3rd hand thousand son terminators. They are old metal 3rd/4th edition metal termies with the thousand son heads, power mace/twin-linked bolter. 9 of them look pretty good, but will strip/repaint. I already have a 5 man squad of 3rd/4th edition metal terminators with 4 lightning claws/combi-melta and 1 reaper auto-cannon/chain fist. So my thoughts are; 1) Leave them alone, hoping someday for some rules concerning them. 2) Or split them into 3 3-man suicide terminators with some combination of the big 3, Melta, Plasma, Flamer. Which would probably become useless should we ever get our own book, and i'd probably have to convert the combi-weapons maybe make a mold of the combi-melta and combi-flamer I have laying around.

Gubnutz Da Grim Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 As a fluff nut I would strip and repaint them as they stand and run all 9 of them at times. Of course this is not the best use of the points. if they ever got rules they would be ready to go, could always magnetize the arms though and switch them as the need arose. Would love to see some pics. Gub Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carnosaur93 Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 well. you could just use them as normal termies with MoT perhaps... and tbh, i doubt we will get legion-books before 6th ed... also. hmm. your name catched my interest... hmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellios Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 1) Leave them alone, hoping someday for some rules concerning them. They have rules in APOC... no good for a GT but if you ever play those kinds of games... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narse Posted June 16, 2010 Author Share Posted June 16, 2010 They have rules in Apoc eh? I really don't have much interest in those kinds of games but seeing that they do have rules there is a chance that they might have some in our own codex should it ever appear. I have been wanting to try to do some molds anyway, so I will probably see how it goes and possibly magnetize the arms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narse Posted June 27, 2010 Author Share Posted June 27, 2010 These are the ones I made and quickly painted before I stopped about 8 years ago. http://i1033.photobucket.com/albums/a412/Bromskad/Thousand%20Son%20Marines/Terminators.jpg?t=1277679896 The ones i've just acquired are from the same era, without spikes, and with thousand sons heads instead.

Narse Posted July 27, 2011 Author Share Posted July 27, 2011 Well, nothing like a tournament to encourage you to get some more stuff finished. Here's the pictures requested over a year late. The theme for this army is clean, and uniformity as I feel it represents the Thousand Sons the best.
