Dark Scipio Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 Waht do you think, would the new miniatures look good in Thousand Sons/Tzeentch Colours? I think the Choosen and the General could make very fine Tzeentch Choosen, I am unsure about the Hellbrut Dread espaccally with the exposed head and the cultists. http://www.games-workshop.com/MEDIA_CustomProductCatalog/m2540226a_60010199006_DVChaosLord_873x627.jpg http://www.games-workshop.com/MEDIA_CustomProductCatalog/m2540236a_60010199006_DVChosenUnit_873x627.jpg http://www.games-workshop.com/MEDIA_CustomProductCatalog/m2540261a_60010199006_DVHelbrute01_873x627.jpg http://www.games-workshop.com/MEDIA_CustomProductCatalog/m2540246a_60010199006_DVCultistsUnit1_873x627.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rune Priest Ridcully Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 The lord, with a head, backpack and possibly weapon swap could make a good sorcerer, the chosen with boltgun I want to convert to an aspiring sorcerer, but the other seem a bit too warped to be thousand sons, but would want to see them painted differently before making a decision.

henrywalker Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 i think the hell brute would be a brilliant base for a nurgle conversion, it has a good pose and i think the bare head really lends itself to nurgle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Furyou Miko Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 I think the whole lot is ripe for Tzeentchification with a couple of books. All those wadjet eyes!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kierdale Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 I think they could be painted up Tzeentchian but to really do the job properly you'd need to do some conversions and a bit of GS work. Some kind of avian-style head peeking out vulture-like from within the Helbrute would be one option. Add some Tzeentch iconography to the Lord and Chosen and they'd be fine. Perhaps replace the odd limb with a tentacle. The cultists would be harder, I must admit. Again a bit of GS work and added iconography I guess. EDIT: I think the whole lot is ripe for Tzeentchification with a couple of books. All those wadjet eyes!! An excellent point! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NemFX Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 some parts look like they would work really well for possessed marines.. i really want those cultists though.. my army could use some scouts better themed for the world they live in..

hummus Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 they are already pretty much in pre heresy ksons colours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rune Priest Ridcully Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 The more I look at it, the more I think that with a helmet and swapping the hand holding the goofy skull helmet for an open palm of some kind, that the guy with the mace could be used to convert a nice aspiring sorcerer like the one in the third edition codex. Anyone else find the dark angel chaplain ruined by the ridiculous skull shoulder pad? Personally I think the Dark angel models may be easier to convert to tzeentch :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Nihm Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 That three-eyed, maul-swinging brute practically screams Tzeentch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
incinerator950 Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 ...Why do I feel like they look so... bland? With the exception of the Hell Brute I don't like a single one of the models. They look amazing for chosen/Readily converted Possessed, but I would hate to see these as line-and-rank. Cultists...I'll take Nihms quote, hello Spiky Necrogangers.

Kizzdougs Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 I recon the Chosen and Hellbrute would look awesome as Tzeentch alined traitors. The Oracles of Change would be perfect. I can't see any of the minis (apart from the lord) being suitable for TS though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see any of the minis (apart from the lord) being suitable for TS though... Well, possibly the bolter Chosen, but that may be pushing it a bit. Also, the Dark Angels Librarian would make a great pre-heresy Son, and I'm sure I could find a use for the Captain and a few of the Tactical Marines as well...

Caffeineated Chaos Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Well I know my buddy(and I might too) intends to convert the DA into Tzeetch aligned fallen, we were both discussing the merits of putting tzeentchy/tropical plumage colors to all the wings and feathers to give them a tzeentch feel, seeing as feathers are a favorite of the lord of change too.

empchildrenbob Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 fluff wise, wouldnt they go against the thousand sons fluff? No mutations because either the basic troops are dust or the sorcerers were able to be immune thanks to ahriman? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hlakir Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 If we just follow the fluff for the Thousand Sons we would only have HQ Sorcerers and Rubric squads (and some vehicles). Every other kind of unit would just be Tzeentch- followers (and these are the Chaos Marines that are the most likely to be mutated) fighting alongside the Thousand Sons.

Rune Priest Ridcully Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 That's why the Dark angels are more useful to us as Thousand son players, with chosen you'll have to work to remove anymutations and really bad warping that cannot be explained as the work of artificers.

Caffeineated Chaos Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Idk, I think painted right, most of the chosen just look heavily ornamented rather than mutated, and in the rare cases where it it necessary(tongue-chosen and bolter carrying tentacles I look at thee) some basic hobby-knifin' and greenstuff-ing would provide a simple fix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
