With my possessed Rhino all but done I am ready this weekend to take out my Pre-heresy Thousand Sons for a drive once again. My next step is to make my army completely thousand sons as I am still using a squad of Nightlords for my third troops selection. I bought a Thousand Sons army off of a friend of mine that use to be the local GW manager. Alas he was transferred over to another store but at one of the last days he was at my local store, he held a Bizarre Bazaar. The army contained 2 squads of Thousand Sons, 4 of the metal sorcerer models, a landraider, 2 rhinos, Ahriman, and a lascannon Pred, all for 40 bucks. Since this was his first try at painting models, he warned me about how rough the paint job was.
He was right on that but the models were complete, and 40 bucks is freaking cheap for all of that; nothing a little simple green cant fix and with these models helped round out my collection. In addition to the 3rd squad, I will be including a Rhino for them which means forgeworld doors for it to match my other rhinos. This is the expensive part but I love how my other ones look with these doors. My local Battle Bunker is really far however during my work week, I do work close to it 3 days a week. I could probably make my way out there during a lunch break again but we shall see, I might just order them or even place them on my Christmas list. At the least this will allow me to paint up the squad for it.
This past Saturday my Thousand Sons had the pleasure to putting the hurt on the Emperor's finest, the Grey Knights. I played a very good player who though was playing a less the competitive army, still gave me a good game. Gearing my Thousand Sons for CC, they actually did very well against Grey Knight Terminators.
Gearing up the Aspiring Sorcerers with Warp time and including an IC in the squad actually makes them pretty survivable in CC especially when one of the IC's is Kharn. The game did go to turn 6 with me contesting his objective with a Rhino but again if used right the Grey Knights could be a very potent force.
Maybe not against some of the newer 'dexes but definitely against some of the older ones. Pics are of the army, on my next post I will list the army list, go over each unit, and go over the paint scheme that I used. Until next time
