Edge of Ember Returns: My New Thousand Sons Army

As a fan of Warhammer 40k, I'm excited to announce that I've recently started working on a new project - a Thousand Sons army inspired by Ahriman's latest Horus Heresy mini. This new force will be dedicated to following the sorcerer as he wreaks havoc across the galaxy.

To begin with, I converted some of my existing Genestealer Cult models into Thousand Sons warriors. The only modifications needed were minor adjustments to their heads and hands, which I achieved using spare parts from my bits box. These conversions are a great starting point for building the core of my army.

Next up is Ahriman himself, who will be getting a simple conversion - his head has been tilted slightly towards his outstretched hand to give him a more sinister appearance. This will be the model's final form until new rules are released.

In addition to these models, I've also started building some Necromunda Termies and have chopped up some Nemesis weapons to create some unique Thousand Sons weaponry. These conversions are still in progress, but once complete they'll add a touch of Tzeentchian flair to my army.

One of the key elements of this project is the use of Forge World's TS mkIV Torso and head for all models with Artificer Armour. This will give them a distinctive look that sets them apart from other armies on the battlefield. I've also been rummaging through my bits box, combining leftover MKIV parts with other finds to create unique characters.

The first squad of nine models is already taking shape, and once complete they'll be joined by Captain Amon, Tolbek the adept of the Pyrae, and possibly even more characters from the Horus Heresy. With the arrival of Prospero Burns, I'm excited to see my army take its first steps onto the tabletop.

Stay tuned for updates as I continue working on this project - you can expect plenty of photos and details about my process in the coming weeks!
