Hey all,
Just wanted to post up the Thousand Sons I just painted. I have always wanted to do some Ushabti in a Tzeentch army, and I took that theme and expanded it to the rest of the army. I used quite a few Tomb Kings bits and kits to add flavor to the army, and some Dragonforge bases for a desert ruins feel.
Enjoy and until next time!
Very nice painting. Love the shading and highlighting. I have to say I find the use of sand and the casket along with skulls very cool. Exceptional stuff. Do you have any guides/tutorials or the like?

How does it stay in the air? Oh, it's powered by pure handwavium
Quick, let me take my (Mat) Ward save!
CoolWhat do the ushabti count as?
That land raider is a glorious thing. I find the lack of Chaos bits on your vehicles somewhat surprising though.
That is a very cool looking army. Love the theme of it....you've expanded on the egyptian theme brilliantly!
Wow, really nice job on the army. And that terrain is fantastic!

I thought Chaos bits would clash with the Egyptian/Tomb Kings look. This army was more of an exercise in theme than sticking 100% to the fluff. Hence the choice of lots of newer Mark armor for the smooth lines and such.
Those are either twin Lightning Claw, or one Lightning Claw combi-melta termies. The optics are the counts as meltas.Cool
Thanks for the kind words everyone!
That's a great looking army!

I agree with your decision to avoid the chaos bits on your vehicles. I built and paintd a Thousand Sons army a few years ago, and I felt the same way. I thought they didn't fit with the Thousand Sons' theme. Too brutish.
Your army is gorgeous. Well done!
Fantastic looking army. Well done.

Wow. Just amazing. The sand-coated vehicles look like they have risen up from under the desert dunes.
Excellent theme, complimented by the outstanding paintjob.
Those who know don't care any more, and those who care don't know.
I love them! Really well done - I so wish I had that skill! Are you going to put any runes/symbology on them at all?
