Thunder warrior conversion


Recommended Posts

The Custodes are very specifically not Thunder Warriors. The Thunder Warriors were crude, temporary solution to the problem of Terran Unification. Both Custodes and Thunder Warriors were created and fought during the Unification War, so they are definitely seperate entities.

Obscurist has done some fine models.

 

The important thing to remember is that during the Unification Wars, the Custodes' armour was much cruder than what they bore during the Crusade. The Emperor himself is specified as wearing "as much iron and boiled leather as ceramite." So the Thunder Warriors would be armoured still more crudely.

I'd take a gander at the artwork in Collected Visions if you're looking for inspiration regarding the Thunder Warriors; there's an appropriate mixture of barbarism and finesse mixed in that conveys them perfectly.

 

The Fenpyrian Forge has also done some fantastic Thunder Warrior conversions. I'd check those out.

There were some wonderful Thunder Warrior conversions done by EdT here. Sadly the links to the photos appear to be broken but the background is absolutely excellent and worth looking at.

 

"A figure strode into the light, followed by several more. For a fleeting second, Akhe thought they were clad in Terminator plate; then he smiled in recognition as he saw the chipped and pitted armour slabs that covered their absurdly over-developed upper bodies, the black smoke that belched from the smokestacks at their backs, the crude but massive projectile weaponry chained to their shoulders. Each stood a head taller than the Apostle, and in their reinforced chest armour they were broader too."

 

He used ork bits and elements of the AoS Blight Kings to get across the hulking figure.

 

EDIT: @ Isinfier: good god, everything there is solid gold.
