Those look good too, Tack. Help an inveterate lore-plebeian out here - how close to finished are those?
Thanks.
Uh... 1/5, 1/10?
I guess WIP isn't the best title if I don't also put all of the greys and pieces in the picture.
Edit:
So the basic idea is that some Thousand Sons warband went "Hey, Daemons are unstable and kinda crap." To which there was much nodding and agreeing,
Save that one aspiring sorceror who piped up with "Yes, but if we have people Host the Daemons, then they're fine and stable and still get those Sicknasty invulnerable saves".
At which point another aspiring sorcerer chimes in: "Shut the fuck up, Gavin. We're Thousand Sons. There's like, twenty of us." Cue the nodding, and agreeing that Gavin indeed was a stupid fuckface.
Then, one of the brighter, more heretical thinking guys was like "So, hey. We know how to make new tinmen, right? What with the putting someone's soul in a suit of armor and popping some kinda mini-rubric on 'em?"
After a lot of muttering and reluctance it was agreed that, whilst it was bloody iffy, and back in the day they wouldn't have touched it, and Magnus would be rolling in his tower... currently... sure... the canon checked out.
He resumed "Then, say, we hit up the Dark Mech boys, right... And get 'em to make us a robot soldier. I mean, they can make the big Maulerfiends and Soul Grinders and whatnot, right?
So, we make us a robot soldier, But, and here's the good part- we use a little bit of the Dark Mech mojo, and a little bit of our Rubric thingy, and put a daemon in the suit of armor, like. Sorta like a Rubric."
The room is abuzz on this novel idea, about making marines with the Sicknasty invulnerable saves of a Rubric, and the melee fighting skill of a crazy daemon-thing. So the Sorceror lord of this warband gives a little nod, and calls up his techmarine buddy on his interstellar sorceryphone, and is like
'Sup Troy. Nah, need no more rhinos man, we's sweet. Some little nigga' down here's comin' up wi' sum crazy ass shit, wonderin' if you could make this shit happen', to whom it is confirmed that indeed, he can make that crazy ass shit happen, and everyone is over the moon, and the resident daemon prince, in light of the young sorceror-adept's discovery, offers to grant him one impossible wish, to which he is overjoyed and wishes to kill and eat Gavin.
Was my thinking.
