Buried in the Sand! GMM Painted 40k Thousand Sons

gmm thousand sons 1These Space Egyptians are rolling out of a Prospero display board with Ahriman at the lead. With the obvious Land Raider as the centerpiece for the force, check out everything that makes up this army.

gmm thousand sons 2This Thousand Sons army has the usual desert/Egyptian theme but with a few twists. There are several conversions for the non-marked units I was always really proud of.

First up is good old Ahriman himself! He is fairly stock other than a jump pack so he could be used as a flying Prince rather than the actual special character. The bird bits were added to give a bit of 360-degree balance to the look of the model. gmm thousand sons 3Second, a winged sorcerer. A chaplain model was used as a base, then many bits were added.
