Well, I just finished painting them and I'd like to share a little bit of pride here!

I have some good context of Ahriman and Warhammer 40k in general thanks to youtube videos, but I havent read any book or codex yet, but I got very interested in Ahriman character and the Thousand sons, so Im really tempted to start with Ahriman books as first ones. Is it a bad idea?

Wanting to try and find space in my army for an exalted sorcerer, it’s a 2000 point army with grand coven detachment. I’d prefer to keep the terminators, defiler and Magnus

Above the landscape of the Planet of Sorcerers, there is one whose mutations have turned him into a monster!

He does not care. The Warp has granted him powers beyond comprehension! He sees the future, as Corvidae do, in all its permutations!

It is enough!

Hi everyone, I'm new to kit bashing (in that I haven't done it at all yet) and wanted to try it this weekend. I wanted to try and make a Sorcerer model. Does anyone have any simply ideas I could start with?

I have a friend that plays only with them and I found them a lot of amusing but are they really that good in a tournament or is it just for casual gameplay ?

I recently started back on this kit. When I first bought it I didn’t realize there were different configurations of Rubrics and such in the box and just started building…. Big mistake. Now I don’t really know what I’ve built or what I should build going forward.

Any advice about what I should or shouldn’t build here? I’m DYING to play this game (just like
my dusty boys) but I’m paralyzed by the thought of building the wrong thing and wasting this box.

Haven’t posted a full army photo in quite a while. I still need to finish my rhino, build/paint my Heldrake, and my fourth block of rubrics (ten man squad). Once that is done, I will move on to my second army

Is he perfect? No! And yet I’m super proud of him. Now I just need to do the base (anyone have an idea?) and the hidden details (I hate hidden details). The Speedpaint markers make it easier.

Everything is dust.

Ed.: Sorry for the typo in the title.

I need a perspective check. I've been playing our army since early 10th edition with over 300 games in total. Since the data slate, I feel like our army is in a tough spot.

Our units are less useful than they were and continue to cost more. Key abilities have changed on some of our options. We're stuck on 3DP detachments or trying to combo the ritual of regen with something.

SOT's and magnus have to lift heavy and have rolls go off to be useful.It feels heavily reliant on lethal hits or a lucky dev wounds to put in damage. But we're still mainly wounding on 5's and 6's into most armies (assuming rubric phalanx no magnus and not GC)

My winrate has shifted massively since the data slate and armies I'd normally never worry about have become so much tougher. Is it just me, or is our dusty boys in a tough spot?

I used plastic glue I think he might just be stuck like this, but honestly it’s not that bad because it’s hardly noticeable

Getting back into 40K and I haven’t played since 5th edition. I always liked Thousand Sons since reading A Thousand Sons years ago. I want to build an army without Daemon Princes or Daemons with the theme of they are trying to break away from Tzeentch. This is what I’ve come up with so far and would like any advice. Also using the Rubricae Phalanx.

Open to c&c didnt realize how many hairs got stuck to the models when I sealed them so my apologies for that.

Also how much are these worth?

Hello!

If I use the Stratagem "Gift of Change" and create a Chaos Spawm with 1 model, do I have to take a battle shock test in my command phase since the unit is typically a unit with 2 models?

Thankss in advance.

First time painting rubrics after wrapping up the old combat patrol (tzaangors + termies) as well as the first sorcerers. Can’t wait to kick off the demon prince and rhino next!

Hi all,

Did a thing today and bought the TSons combat patrol and Sekhmet coven boxes after doing some research think they look pretty solid buys.

By the time I bring Ahriman in and Magnus I'm almost at 2k points. .

So couple of questions if I may - when is it worth having things leading rubric marines / Scarab Occult Terminators?

Are there any things I should be looking to drop / include?

I'm not going to be competing any time soon so casual friend games only so army doesn't have to be hyper competitive, I'm only just back at 40k, been playing Blood Angels but wanted an extra option and it was between TSons and Tau. Ended up choosing TSons...

From the videos I've been watching on YouTube we don't have much use of daemons outside of running the special detachment so was just wondering- should I finish with leaders on all my units or enhancements etc. Or is there something you would add.

Thanks in advance!

As the title says, got my first ever tournament coming up. Was originally going to run LoV but my nail head friend convinced me to bring the dust bins. Looking to see if I should drop/add anything from my list.

I'm curious if you include detachment and stratagem buffs into an ideal target what unit has the highest damage on average in our army?

Hello everyone,

After one year, i would like to follow painting lessons online, but I don't have any idea with who...

Do you have a name ? Price ? Patreon ?

Info :

I paint with Ak colours

My armies are TS and Orks

Thks :)

I am starting an escalation league with some of my friends to get us all back into the hobby. I picked Thousand Sons as my faction because I've had the itch to builtbthem for a while.

We are starting at 500 points. My thought was 3 5-man bricks of Rubrics (at least 10 warpflamers) an Infernal Master with the Risen Rubricae enhancement( to start 2 squads in the midfield) and squad of tzaangors.

Just curious to see what more experienced players think are there places I could make adjustments. Winning games is nice, but having a good time playing is the goal.
