I can't sit down, I need to go outside and do something! I'm literally too excited about this!

The top right TS helms look pretty goofy but otherwise decent. The ones in the middle row, with the cheek plates, are very fine. Like the torsos though, but I thought all TS were supposed to have a scarab on their chest? Maybe that will come up in Book 7.

 

What are the dangly things shown in the Red Scorpion vanguard vets bits picture? Can't make them out on the models but they look like straps.

Well, I have to say I agree with BCK... Not a fan of the TS stuff - not at all. I was also looking forward for these, TS is an under-represented faction in both 40k and 30k so this would be a great opportunity. It seems it's an opportunity missed. :(

I think they're all right. They have scarabs, the lil helmet peak and iconography.

These are the kits you'd use on line units, mind. If you want wild varierty and bling, you probably need to wait for Legion specific units.

Agree with God-Potato.

 

I like the kits, but am not overwhelmed by it. This is fine to me because the upgrades are just to add flavor to the line units. The real test will be with the legion specific units like the Scarab Occult etc... At least we know the direction FW will me the Thousand Sons into.

 

1 more legion to go.....

I like half the heads, and all the chests. What I'm mostly excited over is the shoulders though.

 

But it's line infantry for sure. My sergeants will still sport the flashy thing on their heads, and my HQs will have the egyptian styled head-dresses.

Thinking about it, FW have pretty much confirmed these upgrades are for line troopers. They sell them in bundles designed to match the tactical squads in BaC after all.

 

Officer level sprues for Traitors/Loyalists would be welcome later on. Early Crusade honours HQ upgrade pack with lots of blinging crests et al would be great too.

For now, this just lets you spruce up your tacticals really.

No new bare face without a helmet, damn it forgeworld!

 

This is good for two reasons:

 

1) It looks standard, and actually looks like something the Thousand Sons would wear and not something completely different

 

2) Now people can stop moaning that there is no Thousand Sons stuff on the Forgeworld site!

 

They might not be the best looking pieces (although the Chests look pretty great and the shoulders are exactly what you expect) but I am sure people can expect better pieces when legion specific units pop up or if another set of shoulders are released, similar to the Sons of Horus second set of MKIV.

 

Edit: Also the Red Scorpions piece looks like it would work amazingly well for Emperor's Children. And that fixed body would be perfect for a Lord Commander. Hell, it even has the Palatine Aquilla by the looks of it.
