Lugging that stuff up a hill to my gaming club ain't fun lol. I’m also keen to build an army with a small amount of models after completing 64 infantry and 19 tanks for my last project.

Luckily at the time the two best releases required for such a project came out Codex: Grey Knights an army of psychic Astartes and Tomb Kings with some nice bitz to use. The Raptora - Telekines that can offensively hurl things at enemies or attack them directly or defensibly generate ’kine shields’ powerful invisible barriers.

The Athanaeans - Powerful telepaths used for reading enemy squad leaders minds and communicate to their brothers. The Pavoni - Able to manipulate body chemisty boil blood, evaporate oxygen in the lungs. Shields projectiles you name it and control robots. The Pyrae - Skilled Pyrokinetics able to generate and control fire. The Corvidae - Able to see the future and warn the brothers of threats in the middle of a fight.

It consisted of several cults, each specialising in a unique use of psychic sorcerery… As expected I started work on a Scarab Occult army sortly after finishing the book.įor those of you who haven’t read the book the Scarab Occult were the Thousand Sons veteran psykers and I believe made up the entire first company. Of course I was already interested in them thanks to the Horus Heresy Artbooks so when I brought it I already knew a bit about the Thousands Son interesting background and suspected that I would want to build an army of them after reading it. Last year I read ‘A Thousand Sons’ and they’re by far the most interesting Space Marine legion ever.
