Larkyn Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Something to consider for the Thousand Sons, Termies- http://www.forgeworld-discount.com/products/items/1/Exclusiveminiatures/348/ThousandSons-Terminatorconversionkit.html PA- http://www.forgeworld-discount.com/products/items/1/Exclusiveminiatures/456/ThousandSons-SpaceMarinesconversionkit.html Cheers, Jono I wouldn't touch that website with a 30,000 foot pole. ForgeWorld/GamesWorkshop is aware of them, and are attempting legal action. Unlike ChapterHouse, this is a legit lawsuit. Recasters.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostMalone Posted September 20, 2013 Author Share Posted September 20, 2013 Yeah I know they are but where else you going to find non converted thousand sons gear. This site is one of the reasons I stepped back from that idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Those sons pieces look decent. If you were going to do them, you might grab some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostMalone Posted September 20, 2013 Author Share Posted September 20, 2013 I want to but...... I don't feel right ordering from them. Maybe I could get similar designs commissioned ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 I think that's better work than I could do, mate. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostMalone Posted September 20, 2013 Author Share Posted September 20, 2013 I think not, and I don't want anything that over the top, they seem to 40kish to me I just like the design ideas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HellChyld Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Join the fear!! You know you want to do nightlords. And till you try how do you know?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostMalone Posted September 20, 2013 Author Share Posted September 20, 2013 Hmm my one issue is the lightning and the depth of the armour... Plus I'm more in a snapshot mindset then a staby mindset. Maybe I will but I don't want to fail I'm actually leaning towards sallies but my decision will probably change 20 or 30 times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 If you airbrush the yellow, painting up some VII Legion would be a snap. http://i.imgur.com/Q0exGda.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostMalone Posted September 20, 2013 Author Share Posted September 20, 2013 Yellow with black shoulder pads silver rivets and dark eye lenses, could be intriguing. I'm now swaying to IF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 I'm disappointed that I gave up on the IFs. The yellow looked so good, too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kol Saresk Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Just throw in Sallies and you can call it Istvaan V ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostMalone Posted September 20, 2013 Author Share Posted September 20, 2013 ;) okay I think it's down to sallies or fists it's vote time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 I've seen quite a few Fists armies, pre and post heresy, so I'm gonna vote Sallies. If you don't like the skin and eye thing, either give them all helmets or go with the 3rd edition version where they had dark brown skin and normal eyes.

Grotsmasha Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 As I said to Prime earlier, I reacon Heresy Era Sallies are a prime candidate for the Viva Metallica paint method. Viva Metallica Cheers, Jono Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 If you wanted to do that with Sallies, I'd probably base with boltgun metal, or whatever the hell GW is calling it these days, and alternate a yellow wash after two green ones and then adjust as needed from there.

GhostMalone Posted September 20, 2013 Author Share Posted September 20, 2013 So 4 for sallies so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostMalone Posted September 20, 2013 Author Share Posted September 20, 2013 Hmm my one issue is the skin but also the use of drake totems and all them flamers, whereas the fists I could use thunder hammers and two handed broadswords and go for a knightly aesthetic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 You don't have to include a buttload of flamers in your sallies, and they're kinda known for thunder hammers anyway. They're all supposed to smiths and damn near techmarines, so hammers are prevalent. Vulkan's weapon is a giant hammer... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostMalone Posted September 20, 2013 Author Share Posted September 20, 2013 Okay so I've decided anyway to build a ten man MKvi squad of alpha legion specialists. I think ill just have them as a possible ally for the WE. But for my loyalists I'm swinging between fists (like templarscrusade01) or doing my own salamanders squad that's heresy era but I can use in 40k so as to not put off my opponents. As for the list I'm thinking 1hq siege master 4x 10 tac squads 2x 20 breachers 5x 10 support squads 5x 10 heavy support squads Assortment of siege and trench appropriate vehicles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 180 marines? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostMalone Posted September 20, 2013 Author Share Posted September 20, 2013 Yep. But that's while I still work on my WE. My projects aren't to be short lived. I plan on adding till the heresy ends Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
