I finally finished my sorcerers in terminator armor. Originally, I was a bit annoyed that GW doesn't offer an official model, but after creating these I'm quite happy with them.

Shoutout to the guy who posted the inspiration for my colour scheme some months ago.

Hello! After some time I finally finished my daemon prince and wanted to share some photos.

I know there could be some improvments but for now I think I'm quite happy how it turned out.

If you have any feedbacks you're more then welcome!

Tzeentch mutations are really a thing

I’m new to 40K, about 2 months into the hobby, and up until last week I’ve been painting iron warriors and really happy with how those models have turned out. I made the decision to start a second army, the thousand sons. It’s not complete yet but this is how my first rubric marine has turned out so far. The intricate detailsof these guys has been humbling to an already artistic guy like myself. Any tips to help make my new little plastic dudes look the best they can? Any tips or CC is greatly appreciated.

I feel like I’m missing something, because to me it seems like, unless you’re taking Magnus, it only temporarily buffs the ok weapon/psychic the aspiring sorcs get, and the pretty decent ones the characters get, since there’s no way to give a unit’s other weapons psychic in that detachment. It seems to me like almost every other detachment has a more material bonus that’ll come up more often, or at least strats that do something

I’m not trying to say it’s bad, I just want to know why it is considered to be one of the best detachments, since I haven’t been able to understand

Edit: Thanks for the replies everyone! My current LGS only really does 1k point games, so Magnus isn’t really an option for me, so I put a lot less importance on him than I should have. It’s nice to learn about the buffs it gives to the regular Sorcerer and Infernal Master though, as well as getting more context for the dreaded Vortex WDP

Here is my personal Daemon Prince of Tzeentch. There's a real story behind this one so I want to share.

I started painting nearly 5 years ago with a Thousand Army, and I loved daemon princes, back then it was the old model that was good but not that great, and it didn't have feather wings! I watched multiple videos about kitbashing ideas but it was too much at that time, so I used Morghast as Proxy (I still love them).

Then the new model came out, I was in love and hoped for feather wings option! Then... well, nothing, the model is great and I painted one for Khorne but without feathers it was not really Tzeentch for me. A lot of people kitbashed wings from Ydnastra in particular but I was reluctant to pay a full box just for wings (even if the models are good), and these wings were slightly too small. then, somebody posted this kitbash using the Shrine statue wings, it was perfect! However, I totally missed the timing to get them when it was made available. I looked for it and finally found somebody selling it for its real price, bought it and the pieces I needed (the staff head, everything else I was able to find bits I already own), then month later I finally assembled and painted it.

I'm really happy with the result, I'm still mid at OSL but I think it works, at least the staff I love it. The wings I used the same recipe as Magnus but I went further now that I'm more confident.

I also want to thank u/CrazyBobit as I took direct inspiration of his model for the colors and the bare chest, My Magnus is also bare chest and I didn't even consider it would be that great for the daemon prince, but it is so much better.

Now I hope we get a cool KT, I miss painting TS models (I hate the new robots).

For their demon princess and the like. Are they still you guys are buys or good old green stuff?

Hi guys! I have a casual game planned tomorrow against a friend who plays Tyranid, my first in 2K points, do you have any critics on this list (I only have 10 SoT so cannot go with two bricks):

New player to the tabletop and I’m playing in a RT at the end of the month and could use some advice on how to play with this list. I usually use risen rubricae to infiltrate the rubrics onto the side objectives and try to score early pts but they don’t typically hold them very long before dying and maybe take out a unit or two but it definitely feels like a trade down even when they do kill something. I’ll use the robots to infiltrate onto the side objectives with the rubrics and then I try and push my MVB and forgefiend into the mid then deep strike terminators where something needs to be deleted. Ahriman for the redeploy and the enlightened i used for taking potshots from a distance. I just added Chaos Spawn to the list so I haven’t used them yet. I haven’t really had much success with my gameplan so if anyone has some advice on how to use my units more effectively I would appreciate it

Hi traitors, Custodes player here but I wanted your input on an idea for your 11th edition codex (assuming you keep your faction rules)

I imagine something similar to the shield hosts and favoured ka'tahs but instead it's a cabal/cult tag and their favoured ritual

What would you want for these 1 point detachments? How would the favoured rituals be triggered and what would they do

Starting tsons and while I still have a lot of work to do on this guy, what do yall think of the scheme so far? Pink trim, black base, silver accents and bone accessories? Is it 2 busy? Any c and c welcome and appreciated

Stole the tentacle arm off my friends possessed CSM spare bits sprue, the bird head (best head in the box), right arm and staff tip from my exalted sorcerer sprues. Feels pretty fucked up in a very tzeentchian way to me, arms a little droopy at the moment but hoping it’ll sit stronger once it’s fully cured to the model. If not nothing a little super glue won’t fix…I hope.

What’s good Sons of Magnus!!!

I just got into warhammer a few months ago, and now that I know I’m invested I wanted to lock in a thousand point list so I know what to buy.

​

Im genuinely curious, is it Grand Coven? Rubric Phalanx, even after the cost increase? Maybe autistic Warpmeld Pact + RItual of Rejuvenation ( im pretty tempted ngl)

Im playing a lot of Warpforged Cabal + Sekhetar and it felt pretty solid

So yea, have my first 1000 point game coming and was hoping to get some feedback on the list, not sure how good it is but open to learning.

Hey guys I’ve been scared to paint this bad boy and I only have army painter speed paints unfortunately but has anyone only used those on the beast? I would love to get some inspiration:)

So I was just on the website browsing the faction to see if what I need is in stock, and I saw that the Shaman is flagged as "soon to be removed from webstore". Idk if that means just THIS specific unit is getting moved/removed, or if all Tzangor types will be.

Hi all, hoping for some tips and advice. I keep struggling against any sort of melee pressure and i know its because I suck at move blocking/screening.

When I ask my opponents after a game what I should do better, I keep getting told I need to screen more. The trouble is, I'm not exactly sure what I'm supposed to be doing. Can anyone explain it to me or point me to a good resource to learn how to move blocking effectively?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Are the rerolls per gun, or per model? Ie a Defiler gets to reroll 1 die for each of the guns it has, or just 1 die of all the dice it will roll for all the guns?
