Aw yeah, come see the new Thousand Sons that Forge World was showing off today. Best of all they are comparable with the Battle For Calth plastics!

The upgrade kit is clearly designed as an add-on for the Betrayal at Calth Mk IV Marine armor as seen here. Which also means it will fit with all the other versions of plastic Space Marines as well. Oh and don’t think the Wolves are going to be left out in the cold, either…
There were once twenty Legiones Astartes. Two are lost to history, expunged from the Imperial records, and eighteen remained as The Horus Heresy began. So far Forge World has created unique upgrades of heads, torsos and shoulder pads for sixteen of the Legions, leaving only the Thousand Sons and Space Wolves to go.
This week I caught sight of more upgrades coming soon from the Forge World Studio, and they look fantastic. The warriors of Fenris might have to wait a little longer, but the sons of Magnus the Red are on their way!
“The warriors of Fenris might have to wait a little longer, but the sons of Magnus the Red are on their way!”
Man o man, all 18 legions will be represented for Horus Heresy play in just a hot minute.
If you love the look of these new T-sons checkout Jkin’s Scarab Occult conversion series!
