Just thought I'd share the first model in my 30k Thousand Sons force - a Librarian (shocker) with force axe and artificer armor. Just a quick little hand/weapon/head swap, with a gem attached to his chest plate cut from a fantasy scroll I found. More to come!

I also need ideas for like little icons to glue to their foreheads, to make them more "thousand sons-y" than the stock MK IV helms. I don't *really* feel like shelling out $68 for the FW heads for all 40 of my tacticals, so looking for suggestions. Maybe some of the elven kits (dark?) have some bits/bobs that would suit my needs?

Are you looking to do a total head swap? Cause you could maybe use HE Shadow Warriors helmets. Or these

I was more hoping to just find a bit that I can glue to their foreheads like this: But doing a straight up head swap wouldn't be a bad idea; I've been eyeing the MaxMini steam knight helmets since they have a similar look to the FW ones, for about half the price: The problem with the FW ones is 2 fold - one, they're $17 for 10, and I'd need 4 packs of them. Two, they take 3 weeks or so to get here, and daddy don't have that kind of patience, clearly.

You got some Necron bits right? Nothing cool in there? They are space mummies after all.
You still got Tomb Kings shit?

Got plenty of both, but honestly not a lot of great bits in there for this purpose. I've stolen tons of weapon blades/hafts, banners, scarab icons, scrolls, tabards etc. but nothing that would really work well for gluing to a forehead like above.
I'm going to dig through my dark eldar/dark elf bits tonight and see what I can find. I'm betting there is probably something I can cut up/shave down and replicate via Easy Mold, but we'll see.

Update time! Finished building my second Librarian with force axe: Praetor with combi-melta and paragon blade in cataphractii armor: Moritat with dual plasma pistols and artificer armor: Veteran Sergeant with combi-plasma, power axe, artificer armor: Contemptor Mortis with dual TL Ceres Assault Cannons: Contemptor with dual DCCW and 2x inbuilt graviton guns: Still need to do some detailing to make the contemptors feel more egyptian/thousand sons-y. I currently have 12 greenstuff scarabs I molded waiting to harden, then those suckers are going to take pride of place on the moritat's chest and all over the contemptor armor to make them stand out (you can see 2 of them I did as a test on the codpiece/shoulder of the Praetor already). I think I might glue TK banner icons and parchment/cloth to them as well to drive home the theme.

Im pretty sure I have a fair few cold one rider head pieces. Let me check for you, and if I do, I will let you know.

That would be fantastic - I was thinking about buying some off ebay, because I think I can shave the big ones down to just a small bit like I linked above, and then just copy it with easy mold.

Very nice. But what are the benefits of two plasma pistols?

But what are the benefits of two plasma pistols? A Moritat is basically a gun slinger - he gets two pistols of your choice, gets to shoot both of them each shooting phase, and keeps shooting with each until he misses. He also gets infiltrate and a bunch of other rules that let him sneak around near your opponent's backfield; with this build he's geared towards taking out MCs, artillery, and light vehicles.

Thanks. I have to get my hands on the 30k ruleset before I start putting my Sons of Horus together. You have done a great job of bringing these units and their rules to life. Very inspiring, good job.
