Emperor's Furor Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 I want to jazz my marines up, I've finally settled on thousand sons and I'm looking to replace some of their pads and was wondering about maybe using the red scorpion shoulder pads from forgeworld, do you think they'd suit thousand sons? I imagine it could represent one of the fellowships icon?

Brother Kirus Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 FW Red Scorpions shoulder pads represent Red Scorpions! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/283200-red-scorpion-or-soh-pads-for-thousand-sons/#findComment-3519801 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emperor's Furor Posted November 12, 2013 Author Share Posted November 12, 2013 Yeah I know that, I was pondering on whether they could work as a Fellowship icon, kind of like the way there's Scarab Occult, may a fellowship (chapter) could be the Fellowship of the Scorpion.

Argun Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Forgive me but... why not make them the Fellowship of the Ring? You'd also probably have to do a little bit of work to make them not so obvious... maybe paint the scorpions black/gold/blue?

Emperor's Furor Posted November 12, 2013 Author Share Posted November 12, 2013 I know, I know, it's kind of a far out idea, I was picturing the pad themselves in red, the circle around the scorpion white and maybe add some green stuff so it looks like the thousand son emblem and the scorpion in the centre gold.

Brother Kirus Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 I might be wrong but if I remember correctly the cult symbols were very small (like a small raven head or feather). In fact they were painted inside of the star that was the legion symbol. In relation to the scale of the models it shouldn’t be noticeable… Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/283200-red-scorpion-or-soh-pads-for-thousand-sons/#findComment-3519813 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emperor's Furor Posted November 12, 2013 Author Share Posted November 12, 2013 Yeah they were the cult icons, such as the raptora etc I'm on about the actual fellowships, the 9 chapters of the legion.

Emperor's Furor Posted November 12, 2013 Author Share Posted November 12, 2013 What about this pad, I can't find a decent image of the eye of magnus, but do you think this could be altered to look like it? http://i.ebayimg.com/t/Warhammer-40K-Forgeworld-Sons-of-Horus-Reaver-Attack-Squad-Shoulder-Pad-B-Bits-/00/s/MTI3OFgxMzAy/z/sx4AAOxy5QtSAT1B/$(KGrHqN,!o0FHiwcFTZYBS!T1Bbhew~~60_12.JPG or http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Images/Product/DefaultFW/xlarge/mk3sohpads.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/283200-red-scorpion-or-soh-pads-for-thousand-sons/#findComment-3519821 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonkin Arenis Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Ultimately, so long as the end product looks like Thousand Sons, you can do whatever you want with them. As far as the Eye of Horus/Magnus is concerned, perhaps the more embossed versions seen here could be saved for ranks higher than and including Sergeant, or whatever the Sons use in place of them. But otherwise, go for it. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/283200-red-scorpion-or-soh-pads-for-thousand-sons/#findComment-3519860 Share on other sites More sharing options...
