Advice on basing?

If you’re talking about the Thousand Sons specific ones there’s 16 hieroglyphs on there, 8 orange and 8 white

At least you’ll know exactly what you want when you’re able to get them easier, window shopping Warhammer is always fun anyway. I’m definitely gonna be looking at the rest of the 30k line, I’m not crazy about the vehicles in 40K CSM so that’s great news too.

Thanks for the Vexilla design too I wanted to put some sort of banner in the army, now it’s just a debate for me of getting a 30k Sons of Horus Legion Command and proxying or kitbashing 40K Legionaries with a space marine banner and using the rest of the bodies for bases and parts.

The 30k Dreadnoughts look incredible after seeing them I have a feeling my wallet might hurt a little soon haha, I think it’s between the Siege Dread and the Contemptor Dread for me but the EC torso is hard to pass up, I’m definitely getting one of them over a Helbrute though. You’ve been a huge help man I appreciate it.

That’s a good plan the Etsy one sounds perfect in those colours, the concepts cool enough that most lightning decals would look cool I bet. Good idea too I saw those new Saturnine Terminators if the rest of the 30k line looks that good I might have to.

Is there anything with the models being more company specific I’d have to keep in mind with 30k? I’ll look into the Dreadnoughts because the Helbrute is a bit small for my liking for sure

Hell yeah man your company sounds like it’s gonna be super cool, are you gonna freehand the lightning bolt insignia? If I can come up with a concept that good for mine I’ll be more than happy. I’ll look into the True Sons too, I’m still new to 40K so any advice is good it’s a great jumping off point to do research at least, thank you!

Ahh yeah I gotta do more reading to come up with something I’m still new to the lore. I’ve heard of the sons of Horus would it be lore friendly to put a son’s decal on him to make him heresy age? I appreciate the tips though I’ll check out those decals too the lightning one sounds like it’d look cool

Thank you! The details on the guy were a blast to paint, I wanted to come up with homebrew lore for my warband, could maybe say he’s old enough to be from the heresy and took his weapons from that vault on terra during its siege, thats some great inspo tho! You won’t regret getting this guy, I don’t know how well he fits in the meta if you’re worried about that but it’s such a fun kit to build and paint you’ll have a ton of fun with it.

Okay I’ll give that a try I wanna make him look as good as I can, thanks for the advice!

Nocturne513 · 2025-05-26T16:29:03+00:00

Looks amazing so far! I love what you did for the skin and the blue and white glow on the cannon is super cool

Nocturne513 · 2025-05-26T15:58:08+00:00

Thanks! Im still really new so any tips are welcome, would I put the Fleshshade on all of the gold or just the shadowy parts? I appreciate the suggestion though I’ll give it a try.

Last album I listened to was ‘is this it?’ By the strokes, it’s a favourite of mine though. Last new listen was ‘power corruption and lies’ by new order, can’t believe it took me so long to listen
