Tzen Posted July 17, 2019 Author Share Posted July 17, 2019 Thanks Bjorn! So, this is the first of the 80 Tzaangors I need to get painted. http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/tzaangorsfirst5.jpg The plan is to paint five of these guys up "Quickly" and then treat myself to something else. This could be something else to do with my Thousand Sons, or something totally different. Just trying to make sure I don't suffer from Tzaangor-fatigue!

PowerHungryMonkey Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 Now that's just unfair. Those guys are the resualt of a "quick" paint job??? I envy your skills Great work. Its interesting to see them in more muted tones and not the usual riot of colours. Makes them look more 'real' and less daemonic than the bright ones Tzen 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tzen Posted July 30, 2019 Author Share Posted July 30, 2019 Thanks man, I have tried to do them justice whilst also having a quick scheme to do! :D Another Tzaangor completed. That's now 6/80 gors done! Slowly adding to the pile! As an aside I tried to take a little more time on this chap. Not a crazy amount of time, but I paid some attention to his gems and the potion on his belt. It's still a gaming piece so nothing mental. http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/tzaansham4.jpg http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/tzaansham2.jpg http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/tzaansham3.jpg Leviathus, Panzer, Dosjetka and 3 others 6 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hushrong Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 Looking fantastic as always! The color you’ve got for the tzaangors flesh is perfect! Tzen 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tzen Posted August 5, 2019 Author Share Posted August 5, 2019 (edited) Thanks Hushrong! :D I have recently been working on my Daemon Prince conversion. http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/dp3wip.jpg Given how few new miniatures Thousand Sons got (compared to Death Guard), I have been using it as an excuse to explore some more ideas for them. I knew I wanted to use the Psychic Contemptor Dreadnoughts in my army, and I use them as Daemon Princes (the size of the minis, and the in game rules don't very massively!). I also wanted to show the sliding scale of corruption. So the Osiron dread has been left as is, just a few little bits added, and a nice blue paint job. http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/tdd1.jpg I also have a plan to make a middle ground Contemptor Dreadnought, in which some mutation is showing through, but not quite as much as the one I am working on now. It's early days yet for it, and I have only done tiny bits of green stuff work and converting, but I am really enjoying it!

Bjorn Firewalker Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 The Contemptor looks AWESOME! Tzen 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tzen Posted August 8, 2019 Author Share Posted August 8, 2019 Thanks Bjorn! Nearly at the undercoating stage with this guy. Have some areas to tidy up, but he is coming along nicely! http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/cdp1.jpg http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/cdp2.jpg http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/cdp3.jpg http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/cdp4.jpg Panzer, Dark Rage, Oshikai and 9 others 12 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bjorn Firewalker Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 I notice the Daemon Prince has a Contemptor Dreadnought's left arm, exhaust pipes, and legs; he must have done something to REALLY impress the Chaos Gods, to be free of internment in a Dreadnought sarcophagus. The pose looks rather passive, though- it's as if he doesn't know or care he's in battle. Tzen 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tzen Posted August 8, 2019 Author Share Posted August 8, 2019 He is basically a psychic dreadnought from the heresy era, who has been granted demonhood. I like the idea of his remaining body and the dread chassis blending into him as he ascended! :D And I didn't want him to be a raging crazy daemon prince, he is a sorcerer of the Thousand Sons, i like the idea that he is calmly going about the battlefield casting magic, and something has just caught his attention. :D Panzer 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panzer Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Awesome conversion but I think I prefered the version without helmet. Will he get a second wing too? Being partially armores makes sense but having only one wing seems a bit weird imo. Tzen 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tzen Posted August 8, 2019 Author Share Posted August 8, 2019 I liked it, but I didn't have enough on the model to suggest he was a marine. So I went with the helmet. The bare face is very cool though! And yep, second wing is waiting to be stuck on. Just leaving it off for painting purposes. :D Panzer 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oshikai Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 (edited) While my favorite work of yours have to be your Word Bearers, these are mindblowing as well. Great idea on that Demon Prince. Only Thing I am not feeling is that Hand to be honest, it looks a bit off. Edited August 8, 2019 by Oshikai Tzen 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tzen Posted August 8, 2019 Author Share Posted August 8, 2019 Thanks peeps :D Why are you so good at....EVERYTHING. Incredible work. Trust me, I am truly awful at hand-gliding! :D While my favorite work of yours have to be your Word Bearers, these are mindblowing as well. Gratuliere ideal on that Demon Prince. Only Thing I am not feeling is that Hand to be honest, it looks a bit off. I hear you. I like the arm because it shows how he is mutating through his armour, however I don't think there is enough going on to make it subtle enough. I have a few options I am playing about with at the moment, but nothing definite. Really just making this up as I go along! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tzen Posted August 9, 2019 Author Share Posted August 9, 2019 Managed to get a little bit of this chap painted. Just working through the colour palette for him at the moment, some of his skin is likely to be fleshy coloured, as I always like there to be a hint in there that this used to be a man. http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/dp3.1.jpg http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/dp3.2.jpg Galloway, Panzer, PowerHungryMonkey and 2 others 5 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ElDuderino Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Are you aware that there's a daemon stuck in your contemptor? Gorgeous, how you even came up with that idea is beyond me:) Amazing! Tzen 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tzen Posted August 12, 2019 Author Share Posted August 12, 2019 Thanks chaps! Really glad you like! :D More progress. Can’t decide if I want to fill the tattoo areas with the green glow or not. http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/dp4.1.jpg http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/dp4.2.jpg Panzer 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jukkiz Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 Why not go light purple? Tzen 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tzen Posted August 12, 2019 Author Share Posted August 12, 2019 Why not go light purple? The spot colour for the rest of my Sons is the light green, so sticking with it. I do have some splashes of purple here and there though! Definitely a yes for the glow! Thanks for the feedback! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tzen Posted August 13, 2019 Author Share Posted August 13, 2019 Work continues, not that happy with his headdress, but it tough painting a big model that has already been built. http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/dp5.1.jpg http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/dp5.2.jpg http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/dp5.3.jpg Atia and Panzer 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imren Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 I suggest you use a contrast colour (on the opposite side of the colour wheel) for the tattoo glow, how about yellow or orange? Tzen 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tzen Posted August 13, 2019 Author Share Posted August 13, 2019 Yellow or orange is too close to how the gold comes out on him. I gave it a try earlier on and it is too over facing. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
