Fediuld Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 Exactly what my thoughts. The guy keeps to the principles. Simplicity of the model lines and simple conversions, with a good painting, will make them shine on table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimson Hawk Posted July 31, 2012 Author Share Posted July 31, 2012 Well, things have certainly heated up these last few weeks, thanks to good ol' FW I now need to re-examine this project somewhat. I'll be waiting to see if FW does anything I will want to buy, ie. an Ahriman or Phosis T'Kar model. However, no matter what, I still won't take Magnus, as if you remember, he refused to fight the Spess Puppies until the very end. No matter how good he is. So, the army will be postponed(again) until the first FW book comes out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fediuld Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Ofc not Magnus. Ahriman & Sobek all way ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â You really can't blame him...we ARE scary individuals... :D Â And I can't blame you, FW is probably going to come out with some killer sculpts...

BTIitiate Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 If FW rules are allowed in your group, I would use Ahriman for counts-as Sevrin Loth from IA:9. Cheaper than Tigurius at 205 IIRC, and IMO, better than him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I'm ever going to get this done, I'm going to have to do it now. So, in a spurt of bradavo, I signed up for the Tale of Heresy Painters parallel thread, to represent the Sons of Magnus. I'll be putting up all my pictures on this thread, plus other pics that never made the final cut. Wish me luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rune Priest Ridcully Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Nice! And I hope they do models for all the captains (especially Ahriman and Uthizaar) before the even think of doing our coward of a Primarch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crimson Hawk Posted September 17, 2012 Author Share Posted September 17, 2012 No pictures (yet), just Dilemma So I will likely soon come into possession of quite a few Thousand Sons (40k, not 30k, sadly) models for a bargain price, and I would like to use them in this army. However, this has left me with a dilemma- as the artwork on A Thousand Sons shows only Seargents, Captains ect. had the crested helms. Of course, if you could help me with a fluff reason for this, it would help ease my conscience, and I wouldnt be stuck with an eternal nagging sensation that they don't look right. Thanks in advance! Â Oh, and I finished Brother Testere (spelling intentional) the other night, so I'll get some pics up soon. Â Edit:Damn this technology! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimson Hawk Posted September 18, 2012 Author Share Posted September 18, 2012 Anybody? Wow, this place is echo-y. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kierdale Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 Anybody? Wow, this place is echo-y. I wish I could come up with something! I'm doing the same myself. Other than saying 'because I want to', 'because they're iconic'...ideas are scarce. Â Claim they're in special ceremonial armour...and battles always happen to break out while they're wearing them :) They're a particularly pompous taskforce (the captain was seconded to the Emperor's Children for a time) and always strive to look the best... Â I'm interested to see what (no doubt infinitely better) ideas others can come up with, or I simply go with my 'because I want to'. Heck, they're our toy soldiers, as the old saying goes.

I can't think of any fluffy examples of TS (regular marines) in their iconic head gear before the Heresy. I recon the 40K TS would look pretty good in the 30K colour scheme.

vonny Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 I'd say, veterans indeed. Or, better, a command squad/honor guard. Or a small minor sorceror cabal. Just think of them as elite in the sense that each of them is at least on par with a sergeant/sorceror, but form a squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimson Hawk Posted September 20, 2012 Author Share Posted September 20, 2012 Okay, I don't think this will count towards my monthly contribution, but it's all I've got to show for my efforts atm, so here's Brother Tester; Of course, the lovely Scottish light, so perfect for pictures, hasn't at all ruined my model, destroyed the highlighting etc. *End sarcasm * But terrible pics are better than none. And, as the bolter/gold show, this is a work in progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
