'Pre-Heresy Thousand Sons; The Forces Of Prospero Project Log'

Keep the hair knot. I like the contrast.

[sheep]

I'd keep the top knot, but change it to blue, it will tie them to the robots more.

The army is great, the lavish conversions make going through this log a treat.

[Student]

I'd keep the plume. It puts me in mind of the horse guard but futuristic. I think that is the sort of ceremonial regal style you were aiming for.

[S_A_T_S]

It definitely needs something on the head, I just don't think blonde is the right colour. Maybe try the blue suggested by Sheep.

[Yenluiar]

Great conversion I'm waiting for others inquisitorial stuff!

THE ARMY’S COMMANDER PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE?
Whilst working on updating my dread and painting the spire guard I decided to do a few things regarding the army’s HQ.

Mini-Magnus
I was quite pleased when I completed this model but the fact is while he looks fantastic next to the more colourful troops he looks rather dull and that’s something a commander should never be.

I doubt I’ll use him in future now with all the possibilities the new allies rules have opened up. So after I’ve completed the Pyrae commander I will be putting Mini-Magnus up for sale.
So if anyone is interested in buying Mini-Magnus please PM me.

Pyrae Commander
Still a great looking model I look forward to using him now as a Librarian with Pyromancy abilities from the new rulebook. I’m even considering making commanders for the Corvidae (Divination) & Raptora (Telekinesis), sadly no Athanaeans (Telepaths) or Pavoni (Biomancers) thou. But rather than painting 3 white robes 'shudder' maybe make the upper body exchangeable.

After I complete the spire guard squad I’m going to have a 2nd attempt at painting those robes white, can't think of a better alternative than purple and I want him to stand out.

A Mystic Juggernaut?
With the new allies rules, I’m able to field my Cataphract robots as Wolf Guard terminators using the combi-weapons to better justify the shoulder mounted weapon. So I got to thinking about a possible Logan proxy so I can field him and two squads of robots as allies. While looking I found this dude and I must say with a few egyptian details, scripture and new weapons (maybe a crystal hammer) he could look the part?

What do you think?

[Catferret]

Loving the Pyrae dude. The collar from the wizard set is a nice touch. Oh, and please call him Kröd Mändoon...

You pretty much have to get that Minotaurs guy. The base model is awesome. A converted one would look aces.

[Deamon-forge]

damn very nice and yep go for the Minotaur dude for a conversion!

[Student]

The Minotaur marine is a great model. I think you should go for it and I really look forward to seeing what you come up with.

Sorry to hear about your problems with your order man, that is really unfortunate. On the plus side, at least you ordered with PayPal, as I find they tend to be really great at trying hard to work for you on dispute claims, one of the main reasons I even remotely feel comfortable buying items on forums. Still, no fun to have to go through all the bother. Looking forward to your conversion thou, I always find inspiration in your ideas

Actually they saw my post on another log so the matter's been sorted now so I've deleted that post from the forums.

[Deamon-forge]

so any updates and forgot to ask earlier will you be adding fliers to your army?

[Phosis T'kar]

Hey there Proiteus I was just wondering where did you get those scarabs that you placed over the aquillas. also awesome minis dude

THE ROAR OF PROSPERO SPIRE GUARD’S CANNONS
It has taken a long time but I finally completed my Prospero Spire Guard’s heavy weapon teams that will be fielded as a henchmen squad with 6 warriors with boltguns, 3 plasma cannons servitors and my Hidden One Agent Inquisitor. I might be making some alternative weapons for the ‘Firestorms’ turrets most likely a missile launcher in case I wish to field them as Imperial Guard allies instead of henchmen.

Here's a few images of the turret from different angles, I had to go back and add a bit more red and gold to the top part of the weapon as most of it was painted black to the point it didn’t seem to match up with the lower half.

Now I’m going to begin work on the mid-field Spire Guard units backed up by my Mechanicus Mastermind bots. But first I want to get the commander painted up but like before the white is proving to be a challenge! I’m also made an adjustments to the Cataphract robot based on the biggest focus point of the critique received which you might see in my next post if the bits arrive in time.

[Deamon-forge]

nice idea for the heavy weapon team.

[Gonfrask]

Nice idea indeed!

[PrimeMinisterSinister]

Looking good, fella.

[Student]

The spire guard are looking great. I like how you've done their armour.

ZUL AZADAR; COMMANDER OF THE PYRAE!
I swiftly made plans to make a new commander model soon after the completion of Mini-Magnus not just because of his dull contrast to the basic troops but also because I couldn‘t use him in those few generous GW stores that allowed me to use my terminators which is understandable. So I give you my Pyrae Commander...

I had to change the robes because after 3 attempts the one I had intended to use was ruined. The sword also took a lot of time, thou I had to repaint it when I got the shades the wrong way round the first time.
I plan to place a Space Wolf shield on the base that’s been burned through with a heat beam on the pillar in front of him, but that will have to wait till I can find the time to also repaint the dying space wolf from my terminators to the darker pre-heresy scheme.

As for now it’s back to the spire guard, also the plasma cannon squad worked wonders in their first game this week better than 1 Vindicare for sure.

[Memnon]

Stunning work!

The model itself looks fearsome, but the painting of the flaming sword is brilliant, a very nicely achieved effect, well done!

Keep it up,

Memnon
