Professor_Moriarty Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 Heya guys, I'm a bit new to the Warhammer universe and I decided to go with a TS army but with a slightly more Egyptian theme, especially after reading 'A Thousand Sons'. Was wondering what you guys think of what I've got so far and have any tips? http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee402/Yon_Moriarty/2011-08-30233245.jpg My first squad of CSM with Aspiring Sorcerrer http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee402/Yon_Moriarty/2011-08-30233357.jpg http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee402/Yon_Moriarty/2011-08-30233351.jpg My Standard Bearer http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee402/Yon_Moriarty/2011-08-30233417.jpg http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee402/Yon_Moriarty/2011-08-30233423.jpg My as yet unfinished Dreadnought http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee402/Yon_Moriarty/2011-08-30233322.jpg A Terminator. I decided to forgo the horns as I didnt think they were very TS. http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee402/Yon_Moriarty/2011-08-30233208.jpg http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee402/Yon_Moriarty/2011-08-30233222.jpg and my Terminator Sorcerer, my pride and joy. A had a lot of fun making this guy and painted him as a treat to myself when I was in a bad mood :mellow: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narse Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 Look good, very clean. Highly glossy, which can be a good thing for blues and golds of our army. What is giving it the glossy finish? My only complaint would be those multi-colored sand bases draw the eye away from the figure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drahazar Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 Looks good I would remove the baseing its way to painful to look at. I would get some sand of some type on there. I am personally not much for Gloss. Your paint job is great but me personally I do not like gloss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Professor_Moriarty Posted August 31, 2011 Author Share Posted August 31, 2011 Im not sure why they look so glossy, I only actually used gloss on the eyes, jewels and scarabs. I do have some regular sand floating around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kizzdougs Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Looking really nice. I love the Egyptian theme that the TS have going for them. To further enhance the Egyptian theme i would suggest using some bits from the Tomb Kings range (WHFB). The Tomb Guard kit is particularly good. I've used several different pieces from the kit to convert my Pre-heresy TS (see my sig for pics). I agree that regular sand would look much better than the multicoloured variety. Keep up the good work. I look forward to seeing some more pics soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord_Caerolion Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 I'd say keep some patches of strange-coloured sand amongst the normal sand, but as it is now, it kinda looks like they're invading the planet of jellybeans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kierdale Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 The bases are a tad colourful, but I love the heqa staff and the beard on the sorcerer. I'm making pre-Heresy Thousand Sons and, as suggested by kizzdougs, am planning on incorporating parts from the Tomb Kings sets. How about throwing in some ankhs (I'll be having them on my apothecaries) and, using the chaos space marine helmets with horns, put a disc (Green Stuff) between the horns a-la the Egyptian goddess Hathor. I hope that gives you some ideas :whoops: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Professor_Moriarty Posted September 21, 2011 Author Share Posted September 21, 2011 Ohhh I do like the sun-disk idea. I live in Melbourne and the Tutankhamun exhibit is at the museum atm, I went and saw it and that gave me some great ideas. I rebased them with a sort of charcoal colour.

Professor_Moriarty Posted July 4, 2012 Author Share Posted July 4, 2012 Salut all! Thought I'd share with you some of the fun I've been having lately with modelling my force. Complete Terminator Squad http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee402/Yon_Moriarty/TS/TermSq.jpg Technomancer (Dark Mechanicus Techmarine) http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee402/Yon_Moriarty/TS/tech.jpg First of my Assault Marines http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee402/Yon_Moriarty/TS/photo.jpg Daemon Prince http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee402/Yon_Moriarty/TS/DP2.jpg http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee402/Yon_Moriarty/TS/DP1.jpg Chirurgeon http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee402/Yon_Moriarty/TS/Apoth.jpg And Command Squad - Sorcerer Lord, Lieutenant, Bodyguard, Standard Bearer, Chirurgeon and Technomancer (obviously not usable as a squad, just a bit of fun) http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee402/Yon_Moriarty/TS/Command.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kierdale Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Some outstanding work there Prof'! I particularly like the hat on the DP and the winged eye atop the sorcerer lord. Is the hat a Green Stuff sculpt? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odsox Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Coming along nicely but - AWWWW you got rid of the jazzy bases! They looked delicious! :) Od. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Furyou Miko Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 The problem with ankhs is that the ankh is the basis for the Necron symbol. :sweat: Other than that, still getting more awesome. I love the command squad. Sometimes the silly side-projects that have no playable game purpose are the most fun to put together, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aqui Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 I do like this army. That blue is very nice :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Professor_Moriarty Posted July 5, 2012 Author Share Posted July 5, 2012 Cheers guys. Yeh the hat is green stuff, I was going for the double crown of Egypt (coz he's a Prince :rolleyes:) I do love the idea of the Hathor hat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kierdale Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 Cheers guys. Yeh the hat is green stuff, I was going for the double crown of Egypt (coz he's a Prince :D) I do love the idea of the Hathor hat. When I eventually get round to buying Telion (probably sooner rather than later) I want to try to sculpt a single or double crown on him. I went ahead and tried the Hathor-style headpiece on my command squad (page 3 of my WIP thread in my Sig if you want to see it). It wasn't too hard to do and makes for a distinctive look to the unit. I think it'd look great in your army too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
