Thousand Sons Sorcerer

Edmund Khelle, Thousand Sons Exile. 

Last Sighting: No Records. 

Known Associates: No Records. 

Threat Level: No Records.

Decided to make a Thousand Sons warband to use in this game thats coming up. 

Well...........was coming up before Father Nurgle turned his attentions to this particular corner of town.

So, had a rough plan for this conversion about a year ago, maybe 18 months, but never really acted on it other than thinking a basic sketch outline of how the conversion would go together. 

Got the parts, acted on it, undercoated. That evening, hammered some paint on and there we go, one new Sorcerer. He's a big boy too, thats a 40mm base.

I honestly thought I'd cocked up the painting at the beginning of this one, but I'm rather happy with how it came out, all things considered.

Adeptus Titanicus Imperial Knights

AT Imperial/Rebel Knights. Not bad little minis. Dead easy to paint, but a shame these pics came out so dark. No bother. Not sure I'd want to paint a 40K scale one, but these chaps are rather nice and easy.

That puts me at two Warlords, 6 Knights = the contents of the Grand Master Box fully painted. Scenery is done too, but can't be arsed photographing that.

Iron Warriors

The Iron Warriors. "Ungrateful bastards, that Imperium, ungrateful bastards!" *digging a trench* Thats the IW background in a sentence, isn't it? Always been one of my favourite chaos legions, from reading the yellow book back in the day and the descriptions of them in there.

SO, 25 years later, 26 years after my first proper 40K army (my Wolves, a whole post in themselves, that army, and why I'm out of love with them/an example of how literalism ruins things) and my first proper 40K activity (those Death Guard last year were more a painting exercise that had been kicking around since the mid 90s and taken a long time to get out) in 7-8 years and we've got some new Iron Warriors on the scene :)

These are all in the MKIV armour, a nostalgia throwback in itself, and painted pretty quickly. The characters are FW resin ones, as I was feeling flush with the CASH. Rough plan is to expand this warband slightly, but probably not a full army, but lets see how that goes. At least they've all been painted.
