Tich's Prospero Project - (Back in the groove, March 2024)

[Tichinde]

just a quick update today:

 

Needed a break from red and gold:

 

 

 

Plan is to use them on a base as a "mini-diorama"

 

also hopefully get this guy painted up at the weekend (when I heard that Cawl had been messing with all 20 Primarch gene-seed I couldn't resist) might end up just a one off, we'll see.

the rest of the pics will be back up shortly, another victim of Photobucket.....

[Tichinde]

quick update for today:

 

just need to find a suitable base for this guy:

 

 

 

bit more work on this:

 

 

and this:

 

 

and finally, something to represent the hidden warp-gates of Tizca in the process of breaking up as the warp manifests (if you know what I mean):

 

[Tichinde]

Put this together while working on my latest dude:

A tutorial on how I paint the Heresy Thousand Sons 

Edited July 4, 2017 by Tichinde

[BubblesMcBub]

Those are some really nice thousand sons!

That primaris conversion with the sword is one i also did haha although you also swapped the head and added the lioncloth thingy.

Looking forward to see more of you!

[Tichinde]

Just a quick one today as I don't think i'll get much more done til next week:

 

some current WIP:

 

Breacher squad leader:

 

 

The Khenetai heads do work quite well after all:

 

 

and big, giant, furry dogs:

 

[Tichinde]

Decided to try something a little different: instead of making/buying more things to paint, try and get through some of troops in the queue already!

 

first up, breachers! (planning to add a close combat weapon/sword to these guys shortly):

 

 

Squad leader got a sword:

 

 

Primaris close up:

 

 

and tutorial guy just needs a base:

Wow! I've gotta say, that Primaris at the top of the page knocked my socks off. Very, very nice and the paintjob works strikingly well with it!

I'd been very iffy about Mk.X armour turning up in the Heresy for a whole host of reasons - but the way you've done that, looks pretty legit indeed :D 

[Tichinde]

Totally agree, I'm not a huge fan of what the Primaris represent fluff wise but as a collector/painter I quite liked the look of them (and the potential).

 

I don't think I'd use them in a 30K game, (although as Magnus was one of the larger Primarchs you could argue that some of his sons might be larger than normal)...

 

my current long term plan for them is to put enough together I can use them as "loyalist" Primaris to try out the new version of 40k (after reading that Cawl had access to samples from all 20 Primarchs to create them) but at the moment its just a fun side-project.

[Sagentus]

Really like the breacher team, the posses and painting are awesome! I liked the tutorial too, keep up the good work!

[Tichinde]

quick update, 

 

hoping to get this guy finished this week:

 

[Bjorn Firewalker]

Excellent work.

[Sagentus]

Looking great, really like the broken bit at the top of the contemptor!

[BubblesMcBub]

Oh man that dread is coming along great keep it up!

[Tichinde]

Done (more or less):

 

I think the "broken" bit you mean was some of magnus' magic from his scenic base photobombing that photo (I just took a quick snap on the painting table) anyway:

I really enjoy those TS of yours! I love how those 30k and 40k bits mix.

 

Would you be so kind and could you make a photo of the osiron sword next to your leviathans sword? I want to do something similar and I need to know how long the osirons sword is.

[Tichinde]

sure thing, 

 

these do?:

 

 

I didn't bother with my usual photo setup :-)

[Aasfresser]

This is awesome! Thank you so much!

[Tichinde]

you are welcome, I love what you've been doing with the 40K variants in your thread, especially the daemon prince. looking forward to seeing the completed Contemptor!

 

I will get round to doing some more 40k Thousand Sons at some point :-)

[BubblesMcBub]

Great job! Just a auick question how do you make all your bases? Might have not read it if you have already posted that and if thats the case sorry

[Tichinde]

since my base making skills are as good as "stick some sand/flock on it and paint" for these I used resin bases from various sources.

 

started off with Micro art studio Arcane Ruins:

 

http://shop.microartstudio.com/arcane-bases-round-40mm-2-p-891.html

 

(these will be seen on the terminators when I get round to them)

 

then for most of the Tactical marines I am using these:

 

https://tabletop-art.de/Ancestral-Ruins

 

then I discovered dragonforge (best ones so far) and using the original Ancient Ruins set (Osiron base and some tactical marines):

 

http://www.dragonforge.com/Painting%20service/for%20sale/base_sets/sci-fi/ancient%20ruins.htm

 

and the Occult-7 set (used for Breachers and upcoming robot):

 

http://www.dragonforge.com/Painting%20service/for%20sale/base_sets/sci-fi/occult-7.htm

 

they also do a nice Egypt set :-)

 

then I add some quartz bits and the odd helmet/weapon/book/candle and paint them using the same colour palette just to bring them all together

 

I'm putting a painting tutorial together on how I paint them so it should be up soon.

[Gabocius]

Great job Tichinde ! 

At the beginning I was not really convinced by the color scheme, but now that you're addind more and more miniatures to the army, the color scheme is actually making much sense and works perfectly !

[Tichinde]

thanks! originally I was looking for a base that matched the tiles from the boxed game but some of them are quite dark, I opted for a more "Tizca during the day" scheme with all polished marble/white stone and gold to match some of the artwork. my only concern was that some of the models with lots of white cloaks/shoulders could get lost among the base but I seem to have gotten away with it (the contrast with the metallic red helps!)

[Tichinde]

So all this talk of bases has made me finish off the painting tutorial:

 

http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/336154-heresy-thousand-sons-metallic-no-air-brush-required/?p=4838293

 

but here is the end result:

 

 

oh, and I gave the Breachers some close combat weapons for when things get up close and dangerous (mainly as it looked cool):

 

 

Tich.

[Vairocanum]

Some fantastic paint jobs, love the contemptors in particular! Nice use of the fire bit for the breacher with the flamer, looking forward to seeing the squad leader painted up as well!
