Thousand Eyes models: 1K Sons, Knights and Iron Warriors

[Thousand Eyes]

13 down, 7 to go! My Iron Warriors breachers are coming along.

 

Planning on having two melta and two grav in the 20 marine squad. I got lucky and got some MK III armour for these.

 

[Thousand Eyes]

I'm not dead but I have been working on getting my Thousand Sons up to 2000 points for 8th edition. I mean I can easily field 2000 points painted but it wouldn't be a great list.

 

As such I have added some new threads:

I love the classic Predators. B) Excellent paintjob too. :) 

[Biohazard]

Those classic preds take me back. I like the converted Vindi as well. :tu:

No actually a vindicator, just a Rhino with a bigger engine. Essentially the classic Rhinos look so small I wanted to find a way to make it look bigger. With a previous one I had extended the cab but I wanted to try something different for this one. So I imagined the Warpsmith ripped out some of the internals and slapped them on the front with some armour plating.

[Biohazard]

Ahhh nice! I like your thinking :tu:

I got my Scorpion Defiler finished. Complete with random arcane markings, which I feel keep the demon trapped inside.

So all the bronze trim got some shading and minor highlighting. The tentacle scourges got some red wash and some gold over the dirty bronze to brighten the tops a little.

There is a magic symbol on each of the legs and the tail, some of which were taken from alchemy symbols. I did a fairly dark green as the rough outline, followed by a bright green and white on top.

Looks sweet! I love the set up with the "head" piece lower than where they are placed on a regular defiler. The weapons tail is also seeet!

Cheers chief, I wanted something a little different for sure.

[Dosjetka]

Nice! Any chance you'd be willing to share the instructions you used to build such a brutal-looking beast, please?

Sure. This defiler was a rescue and as such as already fully built... and red.

1. First I cut off both side weapons and the head off the turret.
2. I built the scorpion tail off a spare defiler leg and attached the reaper autocannon up there, it has a magnet to hold it on for ease of transport.
3. Then the turret section got moved forward and down onto the front of the piece.
4. I added some extra pipes from plastic card to make the back look more secure and some additional resin bast cut offs to make it look more solid.
5. Originally I tried to magnetise the tendrils (from a maulerfiend) but it didn't work out and they were glued into the holes left by the removal of the weapons.
6. The searchlight eye is from the old Russ kit, might be on the new one as well. Not sure.

Think that covers most everything. There are some WIP photos on the site which might help as well.

When my Deadpool met my Deadpool-Marine.

So my renegade knight is starting to come together, all the dice!

 

[hushrong]

And he has all the dakka! He looks off to a great start and I am trying to figure out what you have on his base. Did you green stuff a dread? I thnk I can make out an arm with an autocannon.

 

Also, seeing those dice make me wonder why I haven't picked up some D10's for wound trackers.

Cheers. Those dice are actually form the D&D game I was playing over the net with friends while I put him together.

 

The dread on the base is a 3D print of a destroyed dread, face down. Here have a pic:

 

[hushrong]

OH SNAP! It was 3d printed?! That's nice!

 

And I'm glad you had those die out. I wish my old FLGS was still up and running so I could just go buy a handful of die. At least now I have a better solution than using 2d6 with some of my minis.

[sockwithaticket]

Scorpion Defiler is great and that pose looks promising for the Knight. Excellent bit of base decoration.

[Thousand Eyes]

I got a lot more work done on my Knight, here we are so far:

 

 

[MikhalLeNoir]

Now this is an imposing Knight. Looks really good so far.

 

How do I get my Hands on thawt 3d printed dread base?

[Bjorn Firewalker]

Impressive weathering effects.

[hushrong]

He is looking awesome.

 

I just feel bad for the slaves that are going to break their elbows detailing and buffing out those armored plates when that knight returns to base.

[Thousand Eyes]

It is always good to have some weapon options!

 

[Thousand Eyes]

And done! (if anyone is still reading ;) )

 

[Biohazard]

It’s looking awesome the 3d printed base detail is awesome

[Brother Lunkhead]

That's some very fine work you've done there brother...... such a shame that you're a Emperor hating traitor!! Keep up the good work .... looking forward to more of your posts.
