pompeyladbfp Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 OK, time for a new army. This is a planned 40k/30k crossover army based around the Thousand sons but also including a healthy batch of Tzeentch Daemons (and probably a D thirster for lulz) THEME Horus Heresy era Thousand sons force probably Veteran heavy and mainly infantry, painted in Metallic red style. For 40k the models will use the 30k models as rubrics and sekhmets in the same colour scheme. (they obviously missed out when Ahriman burned the armour Blue) The Daemons will be two boxes of start collecting and a few greater deamons/heralds and will be allied in for 40k and used as summoning. BASING The models will be based on a cork board base with lava/tzeentch magicy stuff in between the bases. I may just use the daemonic ichor on the daemons/40k only stuff.. leaving the rubrics/30k on plainer cork bases. Similar in style to my HH Raven Guard army, but darker. HOW BIG? I don’t plan to go too crazy so a 2500 point 30k force led by Magnus and a 40k force that can be used as either a daemon/magnus force or a thousand sons/daemon force and be slightly competitive but not that guy. Pics of Magnus to follow…. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v321/pompeyladbfp/Chaos/temporary_zpsaqc1eaio.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/330903-the-sons-of-magnus/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarriorFish Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Colours are really nice on Magnus :tu: For a metallic red I've seen metallic bases done with some glaze type red on top that works really well so I'm sure you can find some good methods to help :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/330903-the-sons-of-magnus/#findComment-4654708 Share on other sites More sharing options...

pompeyladbfp Posted February 18, 2017 Author Share Posted February 18, 2017 I don't! I use pre spray highlights of silver on raised area over ironbreaker? Dark Silver colour.. Natural light gives real highlights/shades as so shiny I do use nuln oil gloss between armour plates however Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/330903-the-sons-of-magnus/#findComment-4660167 Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarriorFish Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 The red looks great! :tu: The only thing I'd say is if you could try to go over the white with another coat to give it a more solid colour as then it'd really pop next to the other colours :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/330903-the-sons-of-magnus/#findComment-4660574 Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarriorFish Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 I've found Ceramite White does well for me, along with a finish with White Scar and thinner coats of course you can get a nice white :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/330903-the-sons-of-magnus/#findComment-4660649 Share on other sites More sharing options...
pompeyladbfp Posted February 28, 2017 Author Share Posted February 28, 2017 ok, have made a load of bases and painted them up for my guys/daemons. they do look good if I do say myself. Hopefully when I get home my SC Tzeentch boxsets will be waiting and I have also started on my Sehkmet terminator squads (magnetizing the reaper cannon arm) WANTED any spare Tzeentch bits of the Rubric terminator set (the spare shoulder pads/head dress/weapons etc Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/330903-the-sons-of-magnus/#findComment-4668477 Share on other sites More sharing options...
