Tzeentch Only Nose

I'm been very remiss about continuing my trio of Exalted Sorcerers, but in my defence, the models are so good, I've been trying to savour the experience. Also, I'm a remiss kinda guy.

But the WoffBoot beckons, so I'd better get something on the field. Here's Sorcerer #2: the one with the really big nose.

I'll say it again: the Exalted Sorcerers box must be the best multi-kit GW have brought out in years, especially as their character models are now leaning heavily towards monopose (very lovely monopose, but still...)

With these three models, you could knock out a dozen sorcerers with none of them looking the same. And not just swapping around the staff heads either. Compare and contrast with Kraken's three Crypt Angels and you'd scarcely believe they came off the same sprue.

This version is my ground-pounder Sorcerer. He doesn't get a flying Disc to ride on, nor is he levitating, which means he's the least flash by far. To make up for this, I gave him an extra-flappy cloak and the coolest vestment (the stoles with animated bird skulls pecking away).

Other than that, and his magnificent Cyrano de Bergerac faceplate, he's in pretty standard Thousand Sons armour, with just one mutated arm to write home about.

  • Gold armour: Retributor Armour base, Reikland Flashshade wash, Golden Griffon drybrush
  • Blue armour: Thousand Sons base, Nuln Oil wash, Thousand Sons layer, Ahriman Blue layer
  • 'King Tut' headdress: Blue (as armour) + Yellow (Averland Sunset base, Cassendora Yellow wash, Yriel Yellow layer)
  • Loincloths: Celestra Grey base, Drakenhof Nightshade wash, Ulthuan Grey layer
  • Robes: Ushabdi Bone base, Seraphim Sepia wash, Terminatus Stone drybrush
  • Arm: Rakarth Flesh base, Drucii Violet wash, Pallid Wych Flesh layer
  • Eyes: Ulthuan Grey base, Biel-Tan Green wash
  • Gems: Stormhost Silver base, Waystone Green glaze
  • Magical flame: Ulthuan Grey base, Nihilakh Oxide wash, Coelia Greenshade layer
  • Sorcerer's cloak: Screamer Pink base, Nuln Oil wash, Khorne Red layer + Ushabdi Bone base, Agrax Earthshade wash, Tyrant Skull drybrush

So that's another Thousand Son checked off (just 982 left to go). Although to be honest, if I only take one Exalted Sorcerer to Sweden, his colleague may get the nod instead - those flappy robes and snapping vestments are going to be a bugger to pack.
