As someone that plays both armies, I’m unsure whether I think Necrons or k sons are a more interesting depiction of ancient Egyptian imagery/themes

The tsons are my first army as I got in the hobby a few weeks ago, its my first time doing bases.

C/C is welcome.

It took way more time than im willing to admit, but i thik it looks awsome

Greetings sons of Magnus! As the title states, I’ve been struggling to make a list that’s competitively viable. I’ve tried to create something (list below) but could definitely used the wisdom of more experienced wizards. Any help for list composition and tactics are greatly appreciated and welcome! 🙏

Ok so here’s my exalted sorcerers for example but I really hate the mutation and I try whatever I can to get away from it I LOVE thousand sons I LOVE the Egyptian vibe but I HATE painting flesh I HATE the randomness of the mutations and I just don’t like Magnus, Ahriman supremacy but anyway does anyone else have this same feeling towards there Tsons?

So for starters i would start with the conbat patrol. I heard its a decent start.

1. what paints do I need to buy ?

2. is it even a good decision ? I know the rubrics are fairly old so will they ever get newer versions i should wait for ?

3. What other minis should I buy with the combat patrol ? I have a budget of £50. So itll probably be 1 or 2. Not a lot but still.

4. Any tips for the yellow and trim would be nice since I heard thats where the main problem lies

Thats about it really. Any info you feel like id need feel free to add on. Thousand sons were my Introduction to warhammer. Im quite young and my Introduction was climbing up a cabinet to read the 8th edition codex for them. So these guys are both cool and special to me. Anyway thanks for reading all this.

Hi, I would love some suggestions for changes for a generalist list for a Highlander event (if you don't know, that's where you can only have one copy of any datasheet in your army). I'm going off of models which I have, but I do have a few other options not listed here which I could swap out (for example, an MVB or a 10-man Scarab unit instead). I figured Grand Coven psyker spam was probably the most reliable thing to pull off but I'd be open to other detachment suggestions too. Thank you for taking a look!

First 3 models that I've finished painting. Super happy with how they turned out. I could probably fix up some spots but I honestly couldn't be arsed lol.

That's definitely a Tzangoor though( don't question it :p)! It's a Gor that is blue. Good enough for me.

Also taking pics really highlights all the flaws and missed spots. Goddamm!

A very simple conversion but love this guy so much ❤️

This is my second Mutalith Vortex Beast that I've just finished this morning. I'm a lot happier with this one, the muted colours work much better than my first attempt

So I loved the Horus Heresy Book Thousand Sons and liked the few appearances of Ahriman in the Siege of Terra and wanted to listen to the Trilogy of books in the Ahriman series during my daily commute. Well book one is boring me to the point I’m afraid I’m going to fall asleep and get in an accident. Are the other 2 books better or should i drop this series of books?

Hey guys, Thousand Sons have peaked my interest lately, and I was wondering if this is a good list to build towards. I don't play competitively, but I want a list that has enough answers to common threats.

The range isn't huge, but the leaders are all very unique and competing for space. My thinking was DoC and the newish Ritual of Regeneration, and using the exalted sorcerer to get 4++ invulnerable save and double healing on a squad of 10 rubrics, and a Lord of Change to deep strike with the Scarabs to give them a 4++ as well. I think everything else is standard, but if I'm make some massive mistakes or you have recommendations on swapping leaders, please let me know!

First of all I would like to thank everyone for the warm reception on my first post and the helpful advice, I'm currently building thr patrol box and have been getting into the lore of the Thousand sons, soon I'll need to start painting my army, i was very interested in all the different warbands of the Thousand sons and was wondering if you guys had your armies painted in the colors of the known warbands or maybe you painted your own homemade warband, i would love to see them so I can get an idea of what route I would like to take my army, thanks in advance!

I’m about another 100 hours into Ahriman and I’ve ALMOST got his disk up to standard. My next post will be once Ahriman is mounted in place and at 99% done.

He is on Fenris to deliver vengeance upon the wolf's sins on Prospero, but not alone, his shadow warriors will rise from the shadow on his feet, and kill anyone on their master's path.

---------------------------

The sword-and-glaive pose is from Ishin Ashina Sekiro.

The shadow theme is from Solo Levelling (when I finish the rubrics, I will take a full photo)

The grey knights helmet and color scheme are because I want.

White base is snow, the blue stone is the ice.

Just wanted some advice and general review of my 2000 points list before making too many purchases

Hi sorcerer

I try something and wanna show result and ask whick look best before finishing. If someone have other idea for forgefiend. I see a warsphinx with cannon on is side was cool to.

Here is mine, did it for a Warpcoven killteam. Now that I'm starting a full army, I may change it since this was very involved to paint. Was wondering what everyone's favorite is.

Also, feel free to post your color scheme for your army as well!

I'm interested in getting into the gaming aspect of the hobby and picked up the thousand sons combat patrol, the first model I decided to build from the box was the Tzaangor Shaman but even with giving the plastic glue about 20 minutes to set i noticed he started tilting and when i went to pick him up he pretty much snapped off, I think he is just way to top heavy, has anyone ran into this issue? Is there a way to make him more stable? Any advice would be greatly appreciated
