Have to agree, the thousand sons released so far are beautiful. I've begun a small warband for use in a Vigilus campaign I'm starting. Thank you for the review/detailed analysis, etc. Great channel/work as always
I agree with strikingscorpion you need to be dedicated to this army when collecting and painting. Of all the armies I have painted, this one is proving a challenge in grinding the paint job out. But very rewarding.
That army looks great. Surprised you use the necrosphinx as a prince and not as a vortex beast to buff your Tzangor units. I agree with you about the army being a painting challenge, the Rubrics are the hardest troop models I've ever painted. As for transport, I've magnatized my bases and use a plastic storage box to store them in. So far no major breakages. They are a great army to play, looking forward to seeing them in action on your channel. Cheers for posting, and keep up the good work.
Thanks. Yes...but still liked this colour scheme above any others. Painted one Rubric Marne this style and really liked it so painted rest of the army the same way:)
Great painting! Seriously. Makes me want to start collecting them even more, even though I till have to finish my Tyranids Always wanted a Thousand Sons army though, might have to look into it :)
@@StrikingScorpion82 yeah, seems like it. So many parts you have to pick out. But ok, I am used to feathering carpaces all day long. Takes quite some patience :)
Hmm.. as myself intrigued of Thousand Sons, wondering about Ahriman would his model fit into base if running 1 without disc or his datasheet only with disc on the codex?
I've purchased a group of 10 Ruburic marines along with my chaos army and was wondering if I'd require the thousand sons codex to use them, I'm also considering purchases some occult terminators and wondering if my previous question would apply
I think you can use just Rubric Marines with the Chaos Codex...but could be wrong. Really you would be better to get the Thousand Sons codex...with lots of extra rules and buffs:)
yeah really happy with the disco model! the painting tutorials on the plus channel will show you how to achieve the same results:) strikingscorpion82plus.vhx.tv
Magnus is difficult to take unless you are okay with a much smaller but more elite army since he requires a supreme command detachment to take. This means that in addition to the 2 HQs required for a batallion detachment, you need to take 3 more + magnus for the supreme command detachment. Given that all Thousand sons HQs are decent psykers, this makes that extremely expensive points wise.
Chaos Legions, not Chapters. There are some renegade chaos chapters but most of CSM are still in the original Legions, some of them broken up into warbands. Just putting that out there, good video though!
Note to self, 2019 project is Thousand Sons
lol. They take time to paint but I'm very happy with results:)

That Demon Prince is amazing! Starting a Thousand Sons army soon, hopefully I can track down one of those models
These are beautiful. Makes me feel bad about the Thousand sons force that I started recently
thanks:)
Jeez the gold on these guys are on fleek! All of them look great tbh
thanks:)
Love the quality of the paint jobs! Got a link to the tutorial? You've inspired me to get s box of rubrics!
Thanks. Painting tutorials all on the PLUS Channel strikingscorpion82plus.vhx.tv
The basing really fits the models and scheme so well it really adds to the whole thing
Thanks. Full basing tutorial here on youtube:)
Terrific models with terrific paint jobs. I will visit the tutorials in the future if/when I start a thousand sons army.
I agree with strikingscorpion you need to be dedicated to this army when collecting and painting. Of all the armies I have painted, this one is proving a challenge in grinding the paint job out. But very rewarding.
Exactly:)
Lovely looking force
thanks:)
Damn, your painting just gets better and better

Thanks a lot for the comments:)
Allaround VERY impressive and clean paintjob!!!
You did good on painting, I have a green, sliver, and grey for mine (I NEVER use the box art colors.)
sounds good:)
Personally, the fav army I already saw you playing with.
I want to get some of this models just to paint them and collect them! They are awesome!
Just got a box of scarab occult terminators for free from my local shop today so I guess my intro to chaos will be with thousand sons.
You had me at Dusty Boys!
Looks awesome man! Did you consider a custom paint job before going with the one you chose?
Thanks. Yes...but still liked this colour scheme above any others. Painted one Rubric Marne this style and really liked it so painted rest of the army the same way:)
Rubrics were my first ever model bought. On the second one now, definitely not easy to paint😂
Great painting! Seriously. Makes me want to start collecting them even more, even though I till have to finish my Tyranids
Always wanted a Thousand Sons army though, might have to look into it :)
They are a challenge...but great looking models:)
@@StrikingScorpion82 yeah, seems like it. So many parts you have to pick out.
But ok, I am used to feathering carpaces all day long. Takes quite some patience :)
Yeah same kind of patience required lol. Also with Thousand Sons...less models to paint:)
@@StrikingScorpion82 exactly my thought. I need to get an army sometime that is not horde.
Would make a nice change:)
Looking forwards to your review of the new codex
Looks friggin' awesome mate! Nice work! :-D
thanks:)
Ive just started thousand sons in buying some rubric marines brilliant video,could i have a link to how you paint your rubric marines please
Cool...enjoy collecting! Full tutorials for painting Thousand Sons over on the PLUS Channel:)
beautiful army
thanks:)
Hi Striking Scorpion, did you base coat the models with thousand sons blue? Or did you paint Macragge blue or equivalent first?
I start with gold actually. Full details in the painting tutorials on the plus channel strikingscorpion82plus.vhx.tv
You definitely should add a lord of change!
Beautiful paintjob. How long did it took for the whole force?
Thanks. Took about a year:)
they do look good. trying to justify to myself to start collecting them via a kill team
Yes good idea...start with that:)
Hmm.. as myself intrigued of Thousand Sons, wondering about Ahriman would his model fit into base if running 1 without disc or his datasheet only with disc on the codex?
I love it!

Without disc, Ahriman is as large as Adrax. Dude is Primaris huge. With disc he's just a massive model.
they are really beautiful :)
This is a beautiful army, Do you do commissions?
Thanks. I do but not taking on any at the moment. I would recomend greyfoxstudios find them on instagram:)
I wish i could paint my models this well, also when i get my exalted sorcerers im making one of them to match the disco inferno
yeah really happy with the disco model! the painting tutorials on the plus channel will show you how to achieve the same results:) strikingscorpion82plus.vhx.tv
I will have to check it out
ok:)
No joke, there are beastmen in Warhammer 40k..😮
Awesome looking but no Primarch????
@@HazzaBlast He said he doesn't like Magus's model.
Magnus is difficult to take unless you are okay with a much smaller but more elite army since he requires a supreme command detachment to take. This means that in addition to the 2 HQs required for a batallion detachment, you need to take 3 more + magnus for the supreme command detachment. Given that all Thousand sons HQs are decent psykers, this makes that extremely expensive points wise.
Thanks. May add Magus in the future:)
I went out and got my first unit today haha!
lol. Enjoy collecting:)
I have every model in the codex. I think im a bit too late for this guide.
I wish I could paint like that 😢
I show exactly how it is done in the painting tutorials on the plus channel:) strikingscorpion82plus.vhx.tv
Want.
Chaos Legions, not Chapters. There are some renegade chaos chapters but most of CSM are still in the original Legions, some of them broken up into warbands. Just putting that out there, good video though!
Ok thanks for the info:)
The only is 40k Bird Goats are bad, the age of sigmar are better as there shoot is not worth using because you already have the dusty boys.
...where's Magnus!!!!!!!??????
They take so fucking long to paint haha
