Thousand Sons Sorcerer Summoning Daemon Weapon

Happy New Year 2010!!! I know its late to give my wish but still its a whole new year. 2009 was my training year and This year will be a very challenging & exciting year for me and I just love it. I just can't wait for tomorrow to come because my brain are packed with more & more new ideas & new ways of painting. Thanks for all the support and following my blog.

As to fulfill my promise to Philydorf for gave me his base, here's the end result of 1 of the his base. You can check out all the bases he gave me here. I had done many sculpting and conversion for it. You can cross reference with the WIP photo I've posted. I want to give the feeling of Thousand Sons invade Eldar colony/ruins, so I've added abit of Eldar bitz here & there. For the summoning spell, its like the daemon bring the sword from the warp which you can see the black tendril portal I've painted. The face on the base just like fallen Eldar God Asuryan statue.

I love the resin base very much. I just don't know how to explain the quality of it. But I can assure you that you have no regret buying it. Mr. Philydorf has started his own online store ResinFX. Check it out!

Hope you like this model. Enjoy....

Journey Towards Tzeentch (part 4): Thousand Sons Sorcerer Dreadnought

Finally its done!! It was delayed for a week because I was playing around with GIMP editing after I read the Digital Photography magazine at library. Unfortunately...I still can't get a grip of it. Nevermind....

Here's the story of how this idea came about:

After my client told me that he is going to commission me do his dreadnought for his Thousand Sons army, I started to think of what kind of dreadnought I want. Of coz he is ordering Forgeworld dreanought... But I don't want to be same like everybody!! So I again dig info in my black library (collection of White Dwarf mag, Chaos codexes...) and browsed through the net.

And suddenly the idea came!!! Here's the question....

1) Who being insert into dreadnought?? "Space Marine Heroes"

2) How many type of dreadnought in Space Marine?? "Normal, Venerable, Ironclad, & Chaplain"

3) So whose the heroes in Thousand Sons Legion?? "SORCERER"

FINAL ANSWER: THOUSAND SONS SORCERER DREADNOUGHT!!!!

So when I met up with my client, I told him this idea... He immediately want it!

Again I sculpted the loincloth, tall helmet, gemstones, flaming edge design, daemonic sorcerer staff, fingers that hold the staff....

I don't know anybody has done this before, if NOT, then this will be the 1st SORCERER DREADNOUGHT!!!

That's all for the story... Do enjoy!! Hope you get inspired!! Cheerssss!!!

HAIL TZEENTCH!!!

Journey Towards Tzeentch (part 3): Thousand Sons Obliterators

Finally I'm able to post this work. I had a hard time taking these photos coz it kept came out blur image, and after that editing was another hard time for me. I'm always confused with the sizes of the image e.g. big size after post become small while small size after post become big. Duhhh!!!

Oliver: "Honey!! Can you help me out here??"

Wife: "Sorry, I got a lot of work to rush... You try it out yourself."

*After 3 week.... Finally its DONE!!!!

NOW I PRESENT TO YOU MY THOUSAND SONS OBLITERATOR!!!! GLORY TO TZEENTCH!!!



Thousand Sons Dreadnought will be up in next 1-2 weeks time.

Journey Towards Tzeentch (part 2): Rhino

Sorry for the slow update again. Since my wife being busy with her work, I just have to do all the photos editing myself. The problem is that I'm a noob with GIMP & Photoshop software. No matter how many times I learned it, it still can't get into my head. Well, this kind of stuff is just not for me. The obliterators already finished but still I felt that there still need to be improve. Will post it when it is 100% done.

Anyway, here's the 2nd Thousand Sons rhino I've done.




I've painted a script of sealing rune on both side of the vehicle. Instead of using the same Chaos runes, I went for my own style. I just simply moved my brush here and there, it came out naturally with some form of wording. Well, at least it closely matched the Chaos runes. I will post a tutorial for this in future.




All design here are free-hand painted and a bit different from the 1st rhino. My friends thought I used stickers!!!


My client requested that he want this vehicle to be design as "captured Space Wolves rhino"... As like the Thousand Sons Sorcerer cast a sealing spell on the vehicle and seal off the driver within to serve his will. My client also requested that the sealing rune design to be a bit like ninja manga boy sealing rune but in WH40K Chaos pattern. If you look closely, you might be able to guess who is this 'ninja manga boy'... Hehehe...

WIP: Thousand Sons Obliterators

Here's another Thousand Sons' project I being working on together with the dreadnought. My client requested the obliterators to be convert into Thousand Sons version. It took me quite awhile to figure out what to add on. It must consist on few aspects: (1) Tzeentchish Egyptian, (2) loincloth, (3) knight pattern helmet, (4) Scrolls, & (5) gemstones.

It took me more than a week to do sculpting. Plus, those big gap between the finger weapons & hands really gave me a hard time. So here are my completed Thousand Sons version obliterators. On to a painting process....

Check out the original looks of it:

Blast from the Past: Journey Towards Tzeentch (part 1)

Chaos in Warhammer 40K is a very interesting army to collect. Among the 4 gods of Chaos (Khorne, Nurgle, Tzeentch, Slaanesh), I like Tzeentch most. The thing why it capture me is 'Sorcery'. In painting, you can really comes up with many ideas of painting it.

When my client commission me to paint an army of Thousand Sons Chaos Space Marine last year, I knew it's time to put my skill to test and bring out all the ideas to the models. After I've done many researches, the most important aspect of Thousand Sons is Tzeentchish Egyptian of 40K. So my client requested me to put the aspect into the models.

The 1st model I've painted was the rhino. You can follow this link here:

For the 2nd, I've painted a 9 men squad lead by an Apiring Sorcerer which I've specially convert to give him a icon standard.










This is the original model. Look clearly what I've done for the 2 sorcerer.










The 3rd, I've painted another same squad as above. This time my client requested to make the Aspiring Sorcerer different from the previous and add something that represent they hate Space Wolves (archenemy). It took me 2 days to design to model & 1 week to finish it.

Well, there goes all the past work I've done for Thousand Sons. More are coming... Dreadnought, Spawns, Obliterators.

Glory to Tzeentch!!!!

WIP: Thousand Sons Dreadnought

Sorry for the slow posting again. The problem is that I'm very blur with all those photos editing and most of the time I let my wife to do it. (But she being very busy recently...) Just few days ago I've found on Coolmini an article of posting photos, so I follow the instruction there. And here we go.

Here's the secret project that I've being working on. Only few friends know what actually this dreadnought all about. Well, its a Thousand Sons dreadnought... duh!! But I have far more ideas than just a normal dreadnought. For me, I like to do something that nobody done before and go beyond my level for each project I received; and also to give inspiration to others. You just try to guess what 'kind' of dreadnought I'm going for.


Here's the link to the original dreadnought. Check out what's the difference I've made.
