Tich's Prospero Project - (quick update, August 2024)

[Bjorn Firewalker]

You're a skilled painter.

[Tichinde]

Thanks! but one day I might upload some of my older miniatures and you may revise that opinion :-)

 

managed to get one of the Aggressors almost done:

 

 

should get his two buddies done now that I am happy with the colour scheme, the reversed "gold with white trim" shoulder pad is borrowed from a terminator pic in Inferno, its a bit of a pain to paint tbh....but wanted these guys to look a bit more "elite" than the other Primaris.

[Bjorn Firewalker]

The Aggressor is beautifully painted.

[Quixus]

I agree. My only nitpick are the white heat spreaders on the barrels. These things tend to get very hot and the paint would burn right off.

[Tichinde]

No, you are right. I plan on adding either the "hot metal effect" or some dry brushed black to them, just haven't decided yet :-)

[Tichinde]

based and weathered:

 

better get the other 2 done now....

[Bjorn Firewalker]

The Aggressor is beautifully painted.

[Tichinde]

Aggressors (need to sort out my lighting):

 

 

a new diorama base:

 

 

Inceptors (with some added bits to make them more in line with the rest of the army):

 

[hushrong]

The aggressors are ace! I love how you’ve incorporated them. Excited to see what goes on the diorama and more details on the inceptor.

[Bjorn Firewalker]

Beautiful works. Are the Inceptor's wings manmade, or the result of a mutation?

[Tichinde]

Good question, given the nature of the Thousand Sons it could be either ;-)

[Tichinde]

Meanwhile, back on Prospero.....

 

 

 

 

my regular camera has gone walkabout so I had to make do with my phone for these ones.....

[Brother Lunkhead]

Outstanding

[Bjorn Firewalker]

Excellent work.

[Tichinde]

better pics of the Diorama:

 

 

a new base:

 

 

for a new sorcerer:

 

 

and last of all, a new objective/casualty marker:

 

[Shovellovin]

Great work on that objective marker; very imaginative. That's an excellent way to show the essence of the marine finally escaping his armor. Although I wonder if he'll find peace or just endure an eternity of torture in the warp?

[Trixie]

Lovely work on the Sons in this thread, I gotta ask though where did you get the curved sword for your breacher sgt ?

 

*scratch that last question, I just noticed it on the 40k sorceror kit. Still though sick job on the 1ksons !*

Sure is, that kit is a goldmine for Thousand Sons parts.

[Tichinde]

some work in progress:

 

[Bjorn Firewalker]

You're a skilled painter.

[Tichinde]

Done:

 

as soon as I saw the new dark apostle I knew I had to turn him into a sorcerer :-)

 

 

also managed to get the objective (casualty) marker done:

 

[Shovellovin]

Excellent use of the Dark Apostle model. That sorcerer looks great.

[Bjorn Firewalker]

Excellent work on the Sorcerer. What is the Objective marker meant to be? A Rubric Marine freed from his curse, his dusty essence escaping from his armor? (I don't think his gene-seed survived Ahriman's ritual, i.e., he has no legacy for his brothers to recover.) A dead sorcerer whose corpse is still of value to his brothers, as he harbored relics on his person- relics that still promise power to those who wield them, as the ectoplasm rising from his shattered armor demonstrate?

[Tichinde]

i guess I was trying to capture the moment the Rubric armour is broken and the spirit\dust escapes. If used as an objective i suppose a sorcerer must reach it in order to bind it anew or recover the armour, can't be many left :-) the dead sorcerer suggestion is a good one too.

[Tichinde]

so I feel I am now at a reasonable level I have the confidence to tackle this guy:

 

 

been looking forward to having the time/skill to do him justice!
