Son of Carnelian Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 They look great, but I would definitely have made Ahriman's robes the same color as the the squad's. But that's just me! Again, they do look fantastic. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/329057-thousand-sons-more-pics-added-10-jan/#findComment-4601226 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archaeinox Posted December 23, 2016 Author Share Posted December 23, 2016 The three Rubric Marine squads will all have different colors on their tabards and yeah, I am regretting the red on Ahriman's robed legs.

Dolchiate Remembrancer Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 The three Rubric Marine squads will all have different colors on their tabards and yeah, I am regretting the red on Ahriman's robed legs. Which ones? I was looking at making my whole army a different color of tabard but can't settle on one I will like.

Archaeinox Posted December 23, 2016 Author Share Posted December 23, 2016 The colors of the cloth on each model will also help with keeping track of sorcerers and their psychic powers. Rubric Marines: -Purple -White -Black Scarab Occult: -Purple -White -Black The Exalted Sorcerers are easy because they all have different staff tops and helmets. So I can write on my quick sheet "Bird Head- Doombolt, Iron Arm, Life Leech" or "Gyro Staff" for example.

jbizzl3y Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 These look awesome!! Thanks for sharing! I'm just starting my thousand sons journey, I was up building Ahriman last night, I wondered if you don't mind; what colours did you go for on his red cloak? I'm not sure what to use for it!

Archaeinox Posted December 28, 2016 Author Share Posted December 28, 2016 It is literally mephiston red in 3-4 very very thin layers and then the entire miniature was sprayed with modelmaster glosscoat. Any creams/cloths I use are just varying mixes of brown and white worked up and faded with more white Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/329057-thousand-sons-more-pics-added-10-jan/#findComment-4605094 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also if you don't mind, I'm not sure how to paint the skin of his arms and hands how did you go about yours?!

Archaeinox Posted December 31, 2016 Author Share Posted December 31, 2016 Well I just used black for his dark gloves and mixed grey and blue and worked up those colors for very light highlights :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/329057-thousand-sons-more-pics-added-10-jan/#findComment-4607802 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ciler Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Question, since you've handled the sorcerer kit and as noone in my area has been able to answer me : is it possible, based on available parts, to make 3 completely non-mutated models, such as the helmetless one you made (which by the way is absolutely awesome).

Technically not as-is because the 3rd body/torso set in the kit has talons for feet BUT thankfully if you paint them gold or silver you can just say that is how his armored feet are............ As for Arms there are really only 3 mutated arms in the kit and you dont have to use them at all.

Anon Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Hello, your TS like really nice. The best I have seen in the internet. Could I ask which colors did you use to paint the blue armor, gold and the yellow of the Rubrics?

Archaeinox Posted January 22, 2017 Author Share Posted January 22, 2017 My formula from start to finish for sorcerers and rubrics: -Spray Retributor Armour -Wash Glossy Agrax Earthshade -Drybrush Titanium Gold (Tamiya paint) -Thousand Sons blue -Chrome for silver details including eyes, eyes on armor and weapons (Tamiya paint) -Wash entire miniature with Glossy Nuln Oil, taking excess off with brush -spot highlight with Titanium Gold (Tamiya Paint) -spot highlight important areas like collars, shoulder pads and feet with a mix of Ahriman Blue and any White. -Spray the heck out of it with a Glosscoat spray.
