Terminus Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 I like those models too, but not enough to run two of each. I hope there are extra heads and weapons on the sprue, then it's two boxes guaranteed.

okonomiyakimarine Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Prospero is a great background for a game, but unless the games design is an improvement over B@C and actually offer the complexity one could assume with TS psykers vs. SoS i might just deal away SoS/Custodian Guard for more marines and tartaros to help with starting a TS force. and even is it is a good game i can proxy them. I think the Custodian poses are bland and although there is a lot of detail in the sculpt they do not speak to me. Also I do not see me ever painting more than these five imperial witches so I rather try to get more MKIII. Silver tower looks way more interesting from the sculpting imho.

norngahl Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 The custodes rules might be nice for the fluffbunnys.. I play heresy SoH, so they might give me a profile for Luperci and a reason to convert Gal Vorbak :) The custodes on the other hand.. might be great objective markers or losses hehe.. While SoS might be just for the rule of cool or they might be traitors as well or whatever. Maybe I just field the models for my mechanicum or renegades. We will see.

Gorgoff Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Sisters of Silence are some kind of special forces, right?

Flint13 Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 For the same reason space marine characters don't wear helmets. Looking cool is always going to win over practical sense :lol: That said, I can't wait to get my hands on a few of these so I can put in some serious time with my new Vallejo alcohol metals set.

Jackalwolf Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Could be because they're not specialists in void combat, there's a certain force I can't recall who has that remit, something sounding along the lines of spacial armymen or something like that. Novels establish pretty clearly that lenses don't protect from bullets, and apparently in game mechanics don't auto give night vision or any additional bonuses from a space marine wearing his "superhitech" helmet. Also, after many attempts, no-one in the mechanicum managed to find out how to void-seal a loose ponytail.

okonomiyakimarine Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 with plastic MkIII coming soon it's heresy to post such a question, but how much MkIII did the TS use according to the fluff? I am sure MKIII with after market helmets and TS iconography will look great, but how many sprues should i aim for here. Some MkIV in the mix shouldn't be a bad idea for a TS force and the question is two new BoP or one BoP and another BaC? It would be bitter to eventually build some dog-rines just because i am floating MkIII.

They were not a favoured legion of Horus and were not originally considered to be loyal enough to join his side of the heresy, so they would have had a majority of older armour marks. Horus only supplied those he trusted to turn with him with the majority of the latest gear. Remeber Magnus tried to stop Horus falling to Chaos, so he knew and especially Erebus who was counselling him along with Maloghurst knew how dangerous the Sons could be to them, which is why Russ orders were twisted by Horus from bring Magnus to Terra to Obliterate the Thousand Sons.

Vodunius Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 In days of yore (heavily modified) MkIV was the Thousand Sons iconic mark - just as MkIII & V was to Death Guard and World Eaters respectively - hence both of Forge World's Thousand Sons helmet sets being MkIV. MkIV's adoption was already well under way before Horus turned to the dark side so it wasn't an exclusive of the traitors, also the Thousand Sons apparently had their own allied Forge World they could turn to to say 'we like this, give us more'.

It was only after Prospero that Magnus led his sons to Horus' side On the flip side they were the smallest legion: so squeezing their supply network like Hours did to other loyalist leaning legions would have been less practical. Being such a small legion, while still having a direct link with a forge world (presumably from the super close attachment with a titan legio) would mean they didn't need the mechanicum at large to support them and would never have been effected by Horus' manipulation.

For those unfortunate enough to absolutely need GW models rather then third party producers, I think Fenrisian Wolves with Jeweler's chain could work wonders. If you want to go the whole hog, you could even sculpt some injectors (or scavenge them from dark eldar) I suspect I'll go down that route just for ease, and because they look nice and aggressive :devil: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/326821-contents-of-new-hh-box-set/page/5/#findComment-4537660 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Thousand Sons had their own Forge Worlds that will feature in Inferno, all their conversion bits like heads and torsos are MkIV, and like others have stated, they probably needed the least amount of resupplying being the most powerful Legion by a factor of 20.
