Are those... decorative pine cones on your table? Nick, I had no idea you were so domestic! But seriously, those double kopesh blade dudes look hella cool. And homemade terrain? You're on a hobby rampage, man. Oh that old thing, that's just our winter centerpiece. Go to Michael's, find yourself a bag of silver-glitter pine cones, throw them in a decorative mercury glass bowl, and you got yourself a stew going!  |

So....I just got my Reddit Secret Santa gift in the mail today. The question is, do I build/paint as is or try to convert him to his loyalist primarch state?  |

I sent my guy a Start Collecting box, so not nothing but still not on the same level. My original gifter flaked, so a mod was re-paired with me, and he delivered big time.

I'd be VERY interested to see how you'd make that model a loyalist model but if there's one guy that can do it, it's you bby So looking at the sprues honestly it comes down mainly to three things. 1. Making his hands and right arm more "human", so clipping the nails and getting rid of the runes etc would be step 1. 2. His feet, and making them less bird like and more armored and human shaped along with getting rid of all the feathers on the models arms and legs. 3. Dropping the tzeentch symbols from his armor to make it less esoteric. I think keeping the bird aesthetic would make sense given his affinity for the Corvidae cult whose symbol is a raven, and even the wings painted ethereal would make sense on a 30k era model, but the tzeentch symbols have got to go! |

Why drop the Tzeentch symbols? Wasn't Magnus always a heretic and witch?

Why drop the Tzeentch symbols? Wasn't Magnus always a heretic and witch? Well, sort of. Tzeentch had been manipulating Magnus pretty much from the moment he took control of the Thousand Sons. Magnus just wasn't aware of the Daemonic influence he was under until the Wolves burn Prospero, and by that point he needed it to save his legion from destruction so he embraced it. It's definitely one of Tzeentch's best "all according to plan" schemes. *Given how terrible the Flesh-Change was though, Magnus may very well have performed the ritual pact with Tzeentch even if he knew its daemon source.* |
