Tzen Posted February 17, 2017 Author Share Posted February 17, 2017 (edited) Just as a comparison. If you look at Magnus I consider him good. I think he's been painted well and I am very happy with him. But, I could have done more hours on him and did his armour NMM. But the minute you go down that route, it becomes a display piece and not a gaming piece. And I knew I was hoping to game with Magnus so made the decision early on to limit my time on him. This is a display piece: +++Snip, No AoS pics please Tzen. Use a different display mini for the comparison. Cheers+++ Now if you compare this NMM stormcast I did with the above terminators, no where near as much time and effort has gone in. And even then, when you look at the sword and the zombie on the Stormcast, it was rushed a little to hit a deadline. I'm just sharing this because this is the sort of standard I compare my minis to usually. I'm not being (i hope! ) too self effacing. I just know I can do better.

Tzen Posted February 17, 2017 Author Share Posted February 17, 2017 Well I hope I haven't broken any rules! I really am just using it as a comparison pic. Not trying to revolutionise the boards!

Dosjetka Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 I know that. ;) And anyway, this part of the board isn't under my jurisdiction so it's not up for me to decide what stays and what goes. Just don't be too surprised if it is removed by the Inquisition! :ph34r: Anyway, back on-topic, how did you paint the red gems and eye lenses?

Sagentus Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 I really like how they look so far and your table top standard is better than i can paint. i think i will try a similar style of painting with my kdk and paint/highlight the main plates before doing the gold trim Tzen 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/324794-tzens-thousand-sons/page/16/#findComment-4658801 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major_Gilbear Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 I'm really liking that Ground Marine, very nice work! ;) I think my favourite bit is the little glass-effect sand timer on his belt - very convincing. I'm just sharing this because this is the sort of standard I compare my minis to usually. I'm not being (i hope! ) too self effacing. I just know I can do better. I completely understand and agree - I'm the same in that sometimes I really want to push myself (I know I can paint well enough if I try hard enough), but other times I just want to get stuff done, even if it's to a very smart TT standard (and I always find myself slipping into the trap of putting more effort than I meant to).

Tzen Posted February 17, 2017 Author Share Posted February 17, 2017 There is a really good guide to gems in this months White Dwarf is basically how I did the eyes and gems. I'd really recommend looking at that! Just replace the colours with red and orange! :D I try to paint my army to a certain standard and then every now and then spend a fair few weeks on a display model. I really want to do the new orruk shaman model! Very very tempted!

The Traitor Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 They look amazing, I know the base models are already cool but you've made them really stand out! Also can't wait to see this sorcerers, are you planing on using the Exalted Sorcerer kit or something else?

Tzen Posted February 22, 2017 Author Share Posted February 22, 2017 I do indeed plan on using the exalted sorcerers kit. Very much looking forward to it. :D I plan on rebasing these guys first though, hoping to get that done during the week! :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/324794-tzens-thousand-sons/page/16/#findComment-4663662 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Traitor Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 They do look good on the board! Treason of Tzeentch is great but... I'm pretty sure you can't control vehicles with it :unsure:. On the other hand the Heretech primaris power does allows you to do it, but it's more unreliable.

Tzen Posted February 23, 2017 Author Share Posted February 23, 2017 (edited) I am quite prepared to be wrong, and I don't have my book on me, but it doesn't say anything about not being able to target vehicles from what I can remember. From memory treason just says: It is a "Malediction that allows the caster to take over an enemy unit and have them shoot as if they were one of your units in the shooting phase." Nothing about vehicles or anything. Just unit from what I can see. (Quite happy to be corrected, not a huge gamer).

Tzen Posted February 24, 2017 Author Share Posted February 24, 2017 Not to worry, all of those models will be on matching bases before the project is done! :D People just want to play against Magnus and his chums, so despite my best efforts to hold off until the project is complete, I have been having the odd game with him! :D SkimaskMohawk 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/324794-tzens-thousand-sons/page/16/#findComment-4665182 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tzen Posted March 1, 2017 Author Share Posted March 1, 2017 I re did the bases for my scarab occult to match Magnus' a little more! http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/solb.jpg I've also been busy as of late, so little hobby activity went on. However I recently had the privilege to spend an evening in the company of the amazing Jes Goodwin, and I took the opportunity to convince him to sign some of my books! :D http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/jes.jpg He was a really awesome chap, and we spent a long time discussing sculpting and the like!
