Atia's Thousand Sons - Ahriman and some WIP stuff

Howdy Guys and Girls :)

Just a quick post about Ahriman and a look at some WIP stuff for today - enjoy!


Ahzek Ahriman

First Captain, Magister Templi of the Corvidae, Leader of the Scarab Occult, Chief Librarian of the Thousand Sons




"All is dust"



A Terran Marine, Ahriman rose through the ranks of his Legion to become their First Captain, Chief Librarian, and preeminent master of one of their psychic disciplines: precognition. Surviving the various battles of the Great Crusade, Ahriman found himself at the centre of the events that would lead to the fall of the Thousand Sons and their collective descent into the clutches of Tzeentch, Chaos God of sorcery and change, during the Horus Heresy. His actions after the Heresy - particularly creating and enacting the great spell that bears his name - would result in his eventual banishment from the Legion he had spent most of his existence trying to safeguard ...





WIP stuff - Guilliman, Ashen Circle and Banner Bearer


I also used last week to build the 40k Guilliman - here are some size comparisons with FW stuff :)






















That said, I won't be painting him for a while - my next projects are five Ashen Circle aswell as my Thousand Sons Terminator Command Squad!


Quick look at my Legion Banner Bearer:





An internet-cookie if you can either name his weapons or find the inspiration for it ;)

  1. Very good stuff Atia ! I still don't dare painting my own Ahriman ^^' this mini is sooo cool.

    I've never seen your Lorgar before, this pose is awesome ! :^O Did you cut and adjusted his legs or did you bend them by heating the resin ?

    1. *adjust (sorry, I tend to lose my English when it's late ><')

      The gun looks like a GK Incinerator, but it's probably something else. ^^

    2. Hey - glad you like them :)

      Lorgar actually involved cutting, resculpting and heat bending ^,^

  2. God I want to commission you to paint Lorgar for me... or hire a hit squad to steal that one

    1. Haha thanks :>

      Sadly I'm quite busy with my own stuff, so no commissions :P

  3. Volkite Charger and a Power Fist with in-built Grenade Launcher from the original Metal Terminator Captain? Or the Limited Edition Terminator Captain's Thermogenic Combi-Fist based on it. I like the use of the Grey Knight Incinerator bit for it.

    I guess you are going for the Standard Bearer with Grenade Harness.

    1. We have a winner!

  4. Ahriman looks awesome, it's a shame you can only get him in the boxed game. Though since they are releasing the MK iii & tarteros pattern tactical dreadnought armour separate from the burning of prospero, hopefully he will be as well.
    Personally I don't like the new Gulliman, but I do love the new Cypher, he looks awesome and so adaptable.

    1. Cypher is cool, but sadly half of the lion's sword is part of his cape, so I may have to figure something out for that (planned to use magnets for his backpack^^)

    2. That is an annoying touch but what I'm planning to do is use a hot scalpel to remove it. As I plan on using him to represent my Black Crusade character.

    3. Use a very fine blade and use lots of gentle careful strokes to cut the bits apart. If you use gentle pressure you have finer control of the blade and lots of cuts make it not bulge from displacing plastic. Might take longer but it will give a better result than a hot blade which might melt bits you don't want melted.

  5. Talking of Guilliman any idea when/where the Macragge's Honour came back out of the warp? It just pops up in Gathering Storm III with no explanation.
