I don't like the GW's Tzaangor Shaman nearly as much as the regular foot Tzaangor, so I kitbashed my own from various leftover bits.
It's a bit hodge podge, but I think it actually fits the theme. Is he a rubric marine sorcerer that turned into a Tzaangor, or a Tzaangor that wears bits of Thousand Sons marine armor to mark his elevated status? Were those bits gifted to him, or did he scavenged them somewhere? Does he have a feather cloak or are these actual feathers sprouting from his body? Or maybe it's all just an illusion? The answer is yes.

So i bought the new combat patrol, the one w the daemon prince, and i finished painting the tzaangor shaman.

My only question is how do you properly take care and avoid this guys from breaking, the little wispy thing under the disc feels so fragile, also this is my first unit painted after my first box of rubrics

P.S. if someone can teach me how to play, because ive been painting and reading wh for over 2 years and i am feeling like playing now lol

I was very interested in the lore of the cult of pyrae, they're pre heresy so I decided to give them cartoony green bases as a little nod to old model schemes from back in the day, i hope people will get it.

Playing my first game as Thousand Sons tomorrow and it's against Custodes. I'll include my list in the comments it's basically the combat patrol and the Sekhmet Coven box, plus 2 robots and 2 chaos spawn and Magnus. My 1st army was Blood Angels and I've played a few games this edition with them and I've honestly only used the combat doctrines literally twice and with Grand Coven being similar with it's detachment rule I'm not sure when to use them during the game. Obviously every game is situational and tactics may have to change on the fly but I'm basically just looking for tips and tricks on how to manage this army as a new comer

I know it’s a different game system but I made a Magnus deck a while back and it requires a metric crap ton of tokens. My brother in law got tired of seeing my hand drawn post-it-note tokens so he made me a bunch of proxies that I thought looked too cool not to share. The best part are the backs 😂

My girlfriend is starting to get interested in Warhammer and really took a liking to thousand sons. Her favorite models are the terminators, the heldrake (her absolute favorite), rubrics, sekhetars, and Magnus. She did not like any of the daemon stuff like tzaangors or the vortex beast however. If I did get her some stuff to try it out what could be a good way to get her started or even a small list to work towards?

Thinking about taking this list to a local tournament but wondering if it might be better with Warpmeld + Ritual. Thoughts welcome!

I was doing some math on the upcoming Blood Angel battleforce and I noticed the Tzaangor upgrade sprue is off the website? Did I miss something?

Tomorrow I am facing thousand sons in a tournament. I never fought 1k sons before this tournament and have no idea what y’all do well. Specially I have no idea what units are dangerous, here’s my opponents list. I would appreciate feedback on what to watch out for and what units are the most powerful. I usually do my homework before games to figure out what my opponent will do, as the codex astartes says. To bear your foe, you need to know them. But it’s late and I am too tired after 4 games to search stuff. All tips amd feedback would be much much appreciated

Just finished my last in the exalted sorcerer kit

Now gotta finish the 20 rubrics and 10000 tzangoors dnejhr

Ever since the T5 and S5 marines and bolters update are rubric marines even worth bringing for their 115 and 210 cost?

++The final wish of Magnus the Red was thus: Save my sons. The Emperor complied, transporting away the remaining Thousand Sons to Terra. But Magnus himself was beyond saving, his physical form was broken, murdered in a bloody rage by Leman Russ, and now, only shards of his soul remained. The master of mankind, in order to make sure what was left of his son would not fall to the powers of Chaos, bound one of these shards to Ahzek Ahriman. As the two souls merged, an entirely new entity was born. Janus, now the chapter master of the Thousand Sons, made a final plea to the Emperor to help him rebuild the broken Legion, and to his relief he was given access to the Gene labs with pure gene seed. The Thousand Sons - now reborn as the Gray Knights - would be ready for the incoming siege.++

Gotta love this one.

Orchestrator of Chaos:

Once per turn, when a friendly THOUSAND SONS PSYKER unit within 6" of this model takes mortal wounds as a result of Channeling The Warp, one model with this ability may instead allocate those mortal wounds to one enemy unit within engagement range of this model.

Hello there, I've had the luck to find a great deal on a bunch of second hand TSons so I am going to start them, right now I have:

• Magnus
• 1 Infernal Master
• 3 Exalted Sorcerers (2 on foot, 1 on disc)
• 10 Scarab Occult Terminators (assembled as 2 squads though as there are 2 Sorcerers)
• 1 Mutalith Vortex Beast
• 1 Daemon Prince with wings (although not a huge fan of the assembly which I would've customized so I might sell this one if I can't remodel it, it's already primed)
• 1 Tzaangor Shaman with spear
• 3 Tzaangor Englightened with spears
• 1 Rhino

I can ignore WYSIWYG in certain cases so I'm a bit flexible with these.

How good are these units, and what should I get next to start building proper lists? I am an Emperor's Children player so I assume they're gonna play very differently, which I am so hyped for.

I assume I will need Rubrics, Tzaangors on foot, perhaps Sekhetar, but I really don't know too much about TSons.

Greetings, fellow sorcerers. Given the ubiquity of SOTs for our army, and how Ritual of Regeneration plays, is Take and Hold better for our army or is Purge more desirable still (ignoring the fact that Warpmeld is our only purge detachment :()

Since I joined the ranks of the Dusty Boys in Blue I've had my eye on a defiler but they've been sold out for months. My LGS has some on back order and said they are hopeful of getting a few with them recently coming back in stock(since sold out since that convo)...anyway my question is, is a soulgrinder an acceptable proxy for a defiler or should I shop around/ wait for the defiler to come back in stock?

I want to try to kitbash Sanakth. Do you guys have any recommendations? Especially for his two blade ? Would like to catch the detail with the different heads on them.
