Hey there, pop-pickers! My Thousand Sons are going into a smash-tastic battle tonight, and I couldn't send them in without a leader...
Let's spin up the discs!
This is the first of my Exalted Sorcerers of Tzeentch. They're sold as a box set of three, so I won't be short of a certain type of HQ choice in the army. Mind you, there are no complaints - the kits are fantastically realised, with a host of different options. You could have half a-dozen boxes and still not have any sorcerers looking alike, which is as it should be.
There's only one that comes on a Disc, so I've got an Ahriman proxy at hand until I start work on that big dumb dofus.
For ease of transport, and also so I can have a version on foot, I magnetised the model, and gave him an infantry base.
Come to think on it, when he's not using his Disc, I've got a could of Age of Sigmar models who wouldn't mind a lend of it.
Having gone through ten Rubric Marines at once, this was a pretty easy paint job. The only advice I would strongly give is to paint the backpack/cloak separately. I realised this just in time, and it save a lot of headache.

| Love the five-arms on the model. Who else can cast a spell, fire a bolt pistol, wield a force staff, load a daemon shell and scratch their arse at the same time? |

These guys have a pretty good statline for psykers. Which is a good thing, since accordingly to the fluff, they're really the only proper Thousand Sons left.
Fire up the Bachman–Turner Overdrive and let's rock!
Alan Freeman! Now there was a player who knew his fluff.
ReplyDeleteNice work! Hope he survives the coming battle...
