Changer Posted December 21, 2016 Author Share Posted December 21, 2016 Well, the new Tzaangors seem to be awesome. I'm loving the shaman in particular. I'm not entirely sure why the brayhorn guy should have no weapon though (as shown on the community page). The one I've done I've converted to have an axe. Oh well I'm sure it'll be fine when the rules come out. Anyway, I've finished painting the fourth Tzaangor this evening. I'll be knocking bases together for the four over the next few days and then that'll be it until after Christmas. Im pretty sure I'm getting Magnus; my wife has been very coy about it. I know he's a 40k model, but would it be ok to post my progress of him here? Or should I just leave it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soulsmith Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 Love it! I'd been fine with Magnus, as he isn't too 40k-ey and I would like to see how you tackle him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Changer Posted December 23, 2016 Author Share Posted December 23, 2016 And so I've based, varnished, and snowed the Tzaangors. I'm overall very happy with how this force is coming together. I'm hoping that I'll be able to use everything together when the DoT book drops in January. I'll leave you with a picture of everything completed in the last four months. It may not be a lot, but I'm happy with it. And with that I want to wish you all a Merry Christmas, and Happy Holidays. I'll see you after Santa has been!!

Changer Posted January 2, 2017 Author Share Posted January 2, 2017 I hope you've all had a good Christmas and New Year. My wife got me Magnus for Christmas, and although I'm not going to bombard this thread with stage by stage images etc due to him not being AoS, I thought I'd post a quick update to show you where I'm up to after 5 days of painting him. My wife told me that I should go for the yellow to purple blend on each feather, so like the dutiful husband that is the direction I've gone. You may also notice that I've gone for blue armour and a yellow tabard. The idea is that all of my Tzeentch forces will match on some way. So they'll all have the same colour armour, robes / cloth, and feathers will play a part. Ultra scary freehand on the tabard is next... Enough waffle, here's some pictures.

Whats your pink recipe- specifically the pink horror/ herald skin? i notice you use a grey primer- which brand is it? thanks in advance! Thanks for your comments. The pink recipe is really easy, although a little backwards. Basecoat of Pink Horror. Washed with heavily diluted Screamer Pink. Pink Horror highlighted up to Emperors Children - keep adding a brushtip of Emperors Children to a heavily watered down Pink Horror and glaze it on. Emperors Children highlighted up to Screaming Skull - same as above, but with Screaming Skull. It takes a little time, but looks good in the end. You need to make sure you get a solid coat of Pink Horror before you start - to be honest it's probably a good idea to basecoat in Screamer Pink before Pink Horror. The grey undercoat is from Halfords. It's cheap enough and comes in a bigger tin that the GW undercoats. I started using it about a year ago and haven't looked back since.

Lysandestolpe Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 YES! you are nailing the diversity of colors on Magnus, man! Fantastic choices. Can't wait to see more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LLV Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 Thanks for the tip- I will definitely give it a go. Ill have to try and source some decent grey primer here in Canada. I've just gotten back into 'the hobby' but before used GW black primer with a dusting of white primer to preshade. Works well for most things but the pink on the horrors is so bright I think the black left in recesses would be a pain. Lovely work once again.

Changer Posted January 15, 2017 Author Share Posted January 15, 2017 Hi all. Just wanted to show that I've not been idol for the past few weeks. Magnus' body is almost complete. Just the hair to do on him, then the book, cloth, base and wings. Actually, still loads to do! Anyway, looks like Magnus is going to stand in as a sword armed lord of change when my disciples book comes next week. I didn't opt to buy any of the arcanites as I want to focus on the Tzaangor element first. Looks like all of the special weapons hit the same, and the split head is the mutant. I'm going to buy another box of Tzaangors next week so I can make a 20 man and a 10 man unit fully kitted out. Looking at the warscroll would I be better having 20 dual hand weapons, or 20 with shields? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogue Explorator Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Magnus is coming along nicely. The Warscroll says you can mix and match dual weapon and shield. Mutants have to dual wield, so in fact, if you want mutants and any shields at all, you have to mix and match. I'd say, as many grand weapons and mutants as you can fit, with any remaining Tzaangor with shields. Personally I will put grand weapons on my command, since they will be the last to go. As far as I can see, any command models including the Twistbray can instead be mutants, which may be fluffier, after all Tzzangor are going to give their most twisted members the important jobs. I certainly wouldn't put shields on commands, as they are about as likely to be lost to battleshock as to damage and the shields will not help against that. They have gone down a very fiddly rout with the unit, but I have vented my disappointment about that elsewhere. On the upside, there is a lot of conversion potential with mutants.

Changer Posted January 16, 2017 Author Share Posted January 16, 2017 So, looking at the Tzaangor warscroll it looks like shields are the way to go. Max out on special weapons and mutants, then the rest shields. Having not even seen the book yet, I know I want at least a 20 man and a 10 man unit. I currently have 26 Tzaangors and am intending to buy another box on Wednesday. Im currently thinking: 20 man unit: champion, sword and shield. brayhorn, dual combat weapons. Banner, shield. 4 mutants. 8 special weapons. 5 shields. 10 man unit: champion with special weapon. brayhorn with dual weapons. banner, shield. 2 mutants. 3 other special weapons. 2 shields. Not completely optimised, but close enough and will still look good on the battlefield. That will leave 6 Tzaangors in my current collection that I'll maintain with dual weapons, especially as I've already painted one! Mutants seem to be based on the split head from the box, but having 6 of those is a little boring. So, a little conversion is in order. Fortunately I've got plenty of bits left over from the horrors, screamers etc I have. I've also got bits left over from the old Forsaken kit. So, with that in mind, here are the first 4 mutants. One of which is basic and uses the split head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Changer Posted January 17, 2017 Author Share Posted January 17, 2017 This week will be pre orders of the Shaman and at least 2 boxes of skyfires. Next week I think will be daemons so some blue and brimestone horrors, and maybe the new lord of change. I had planned on using Magnus, and he's a great proxy for the sword armed Lord of Change; but I kind of want the machine gun rod, so may just have to buy one!

Deathadder99 Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 I need to start painting my Tzaangors, and this is incredibly inspiring! Thanks for the detailed paint recipes too. Will do a heavy dose of copying as I have horrible eye for color. I like the blue flames on Magnus' weapon. Mind sharing how you did those? Also the colours for the screamers?

Also the colours for the screamers? Quite simple really. Temple Guard Blue, highlighted up by adding White all of the time up to pure white. Then just a wash of heavily diluted Temple Guard Blue to tone it down again. The Screamers follow the same recipe as my blue armour - Kantor Blue, washed with 50:50 Kantor:Black, Kantor Blue, blended with Altdorf Guard Blue, through to Fenrisian Grey, then final highlights of 50:50 (50:50 Altdorf Guard Blue:Fenrisian Grey):White. Hope that makes sense! 6 hours ago, Double Misfire said: I love the mutants! The tail in particular adds loads. You should convert stuff more often! Thanks! The mutants still need green stuff work, but I'm planning to do all of that once I've finished assembling the 6 Skyfires, 3 Enlighted, Shaman I get this week, and the extra horrors I need for my 2k list next week. Oh, and after I finish Magnus... and my Dwarf Blood Bowl team which I'll order this week...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure. The 2000 list I'm going to be building towards is this: Lord of Change - General (Incorporeal Form), Wellspring of Arcane Might, Tzeentch's Firestorm - 300 Gaunt Summoner and Familiars - Glimpse the Future - 120 Tzaangor Shaman - Treason of Tzeentch - 120 Ogroid Traumaturge - Timeslip Pendant, Treacherous Bond - 160 20 Tzaangor - 360 6 Skyfires - 320 3 Enlightened on Discs - 160 Tzaangor Coven - 40 10 Pink Horrors - Unchecked Mutation - 140 10 Pink Horrors - Bolt of Tzeentch - 140 20 Blue Horrors - 100 10 Brimstone Horrors - 40 Lots of models on the board, loads of spells and a good number of shooting attacks. Pinks can split into Blues if they are under strength and then regain horrors with battleshock (hopefully). Blues can split into Brimstones if they've taken some hits. I thought about adding a Chaos Sorcerer into the list, but then I'd have to lose 30 models which are they pretty much to bubble wrap my important stuff, and for the Ogroid to cast Treacherous Bond on. It's a list I haven't tried yet, as the models haven't arrived as yet. I'm hoping to have my first game in a few weeks once the Blue and Brimstone Horrors have been released.
