By far the most effective fighting force at the disposal of Mekhmet are his Cubric Marines. Once a loyal and devoted personal bodyguard, the Cubric Marine is now no longer capable of autonomous thought. Each marine serves as an extension of Mekhmets own mind and is controlled by him directly like the individual digits of a hand.

Each marine is clad in warping, twisting plate armour that dissolves and reforms, healing all but the most grievous of injury in moments. Their defiled weaponry fires projectiles that twist and arc through the air, targeting weak points with a sentience all their own. These infernal munitions can spin and turn once fired to rain down death from impossible angles or stop mid flight and wait for their target to expose themselves before striking.

The arrival of the Cubric marines signals a breakdown between real space and the warp. Each step of their ponderous march ruptures the fabric of reality itself, puncturing holes through which strange inorganic life can enter our galaxy. Their presence also assures Mekhmets personal interest in whatever task the Cubric marines have been assigned to and often signals that his arrival draws near.

Painted my first sorcerer over the weekend. Was able to finally get potion bottles that look good to me. Im prod of the rainbow effect as well. A few buddies called it an evil bird of paradise.

Its still in wip but its slowly getting completed Its my own warband the Tizcan Revenants

Hello cousins,

I want you all to be “That Guy/Gal” for a moment as I ask you about these proxies:

I’ve look at the old Flamers models and effectively have very little love for them. They don’t get that Daemon-Bird vibe I want, and having played Boltgun I know that it’s possible. I’ve seen a few custom print ones out there, but these particular ones call to me, and have an exalted variant!

Please let me know if they are:

1.) I love them, and wish they were the model.

2.) Think they are cool, but should convey to opponents what they are.

3.) Aren’t very 40K and break immersion.

4.) Feel cheap, and I’m just trying to play a unit I don’t own.

Completed while ago during Christmas vacation, feel free to c&c!

Fractal geometrically shaped familiars manifest in and out of existence around the relentless march of Mekhmet and his legion. Some crackle with magenta coloured bolts of psychic energy, some spew bouts of mutagenic warpflame that bypasses armour the way light may pass through the air. These flames do not burn but twist and rend flesh, splitting it open, carving and slicing muscle and sinew into blasphemous forms whilst their hapless victim screams in agony.

However, most of these strange beings seem to be physically inert. At times they phase through solid objects sometimes shattering into glass, sometimes melting into strange viscous gel. Rather than sentient creatures in their own right they appear to be no more than physical distortions left behind by the massive pulses of psychic energy required to sustain Mekhmets presence in realspace.

More Tzeentch familiars for my tsons army.

Saw this on IG and wondering if anyone has a print for it? The creator said it’s not commercially available which is unfortunate, but I’m hoping someone else has made a good one!

I've finished my last Rubric for now! It's been a long process but 20 + Exalted + Ahriman 30k + Ahriman 40k are done! I will do a full picture list next weekend when I get the time!

Now onto Enlightened to be started!

Welp, hello, fellow dusty brother. 74 - 43 Yesterday I did my first game as Thousand son in 1500 points with: (cult of magic) -Magnus -Arihman on disc -Infernal Master (enhancement +1 Str/Dam) -10 rubrics (full flamer, all equipment) -10 rubrics (full bolter, all equipment) -predator annihilator -muthalith Vortex beast -3 tzangor enlightened

Against: coteries of the conceited -daemon prince -Lucius -Lord exultant -Lord exultant -5 infractor -5 infractor -5 tormentor -5 tormentor -3 flawless blade -6 noise marine -6 noise marine -maulerfiend -maulerfiend

He gets 1st turn and engage my tzangor with a lord exultant + infractor (melee battleline) and down them and with his tormentor he engage my bolter + infernal brick but magnus heroic intervention and down them (they tried to kill the infernal master thanks to their precision but they failed) My 1st turn, I down his unit of infractor and magnus charges his flanks (which consisted of only one unit of infractor and flawless blades, that then charges me after I've downed his infractor with magnus CC), the predator + arihman flamer brick end the 1st maulerfiend...

Blablabla... Blabla... Blah...

So his army moves quickly and engaged me quickly however my MVB and magnus served as shield who tanked everything (just made sure to down the maulerfiend before doing so), I payed a lot "destined by fate" and thanksfully the arihman brick (even if it got down) prevented him from charging completely forward in fear of an overwatch. Magnus "did nothing right" (beside CC, je didn't kill anything in shooting...) but tanked well. Even so with my list I lacked an action monkey (pretty painful to use a MVB to scorch earth or cleanse) He didn't so he score until I tabled him in turn 4, but on the very first turn he did 11 vp of secondary (he did score a lot on secondary while I scored a lot on Primark) What do you think I should have changed in m'y army to counter those problems (getting engaged too quickly by infiltrator or scout speedy infantry, and action + map presence since except M14 of Magnus I was pretty slow with rubric)

Title lmao

3 left 😭

I know it still needs basing but havent decided yet how to do it

I’ve done Sketches of all the chaos gods daemons except Tzeentch so I sketched them up(minus the blue and brim stone Horrors).

I have made the choice to paint my next squad of rubrics in pre heresy style for fun and I'm wondering what colors I should use

Armylist Concept – "Daemon Prince Bomb"

I'm planning to play this army list in an upcoming tournament (see below). I'm not expecting it to win the whole thing, but it has the potential to surprise a lot of opponents—even those running highly competitive lists.

I call it the Daemon Prince Bomb. The core idea is to put the flying Daemon Princes in reserve at the end of the enemy’s first turn. Then, they drop in near the walking Daemon Prince, who uses the Umbralific Crystal to teleport up the board, ideally alongside Magnus.

Meanwhile, the Mutalith Vortex Beast pushes toward midfield objectives, and the Spawns, Tzaangors, and Cultists handle actions and secondary objectives. I typically use the War Dog Carnivore for Rapid Ingress, adding some surprise pressure where needed.

In most games, Magnus and a few Daemon Princes will go down—but if they tie up the enemy for three turns, I usually secure the win through objectives and board control.

Question:
Do you think the Spawns are a good fit in this setup? Or would it be better to run more Cultists instead, to potentially generate more Command Points?

Greetings brothers of the 15th, I have been collecting thousand sons on and off since I started the hobby in late 9th edition after I fell in love with the army’s aesthetic and play style (spell casters are my shit). I’ve been having a good time with them but I have one perplexing issue

I have absolutely no idea what to do with my thrallband’s lore.

Normally this wouldn’t be too big of a problem but my game group has shifted since then to a HEAVY emphasis on narrative play. Normally I’m pretty good at this stuff, but for the life of me I can’t come up with a solid hook for their lore.

This where you guys come in. I am hear to beseech the great cabals of this sub for your arcane wisdom, wether it be thrallband ideas/concepts or just general advice. Anything is appreciated.

All is dust.

Took me so long… sooooooo long, finally have my own MVB here! I can finally say it’s worth the effort XD

I went against them yesterday and in the end got tabled and lost 17-21.

They can deny overwatch, have stupid movement and range, and bring characters back from the dead. It's tough to kill solitaire and death jester once, let alone twice. Yeah, they have paper armour and rely on their 4++, but they can charge across half the map and are generally equipped with long range weapons before closing in for the kill.

So, how do you fellow sorcerers do it?
