Pre-Heresy Thousand Sons

Having finally read A Thousand Sons, I've decided to have a go at making a Pre-Heresy Thousand Sons army. Warhammer 30K man!

Started to put together a list of stuff I needed to convert my minis.
My inspiration

Will be using mainly TK plastics and some Grey Knight / CSM parts to convert the models.

I managed to get these sweet 'Stargate' looking Anubis and Horus helmets which I hope to recast for my power armored boys. The Anubis head will be the Sorceror and the rest will have the Horus heads. (If you remember in Stargate, the chief guardian is Anubis headed. The Sorcerer will carry a Heqa staff and the rest will be carrying swords or halberds with kopesh type blades (from TK tomb guard).


For the Sekhmet or Scarab Occult who are the veterans, I'll be using these resin Terminator casts also with Anubis and Horus heads.

Planning to have an initial 1500 - 1750 point army consisting of :

Ahriman

2 units of  3 Sekhmet Terminators

3-4 units of 9 Rubricae, each unit will represent one of the main cults - Corvidae, Pyrae, Raptora, Pavoni (not sure about the Athenaens at the moment)

Defiler (using a Necrosphinx head and torso on Defiler legs)

Heldrake (suitably modded to look Egyptian / Sphinx-like)

Armour will be in Crimson Red with Gold and White Trim.

  1. Looking forward to seeing your sons get built and painted up :). Progress pics please :)

    Am building a pre-heresy Imperial Fist 2K army. Let's have a game planned once we complete our armies.
