I'd pay that much for them, very, very nice. Besides, 50usd is what, ten pounds?:p

Yeah, these are really nice. I had a full squad conversion kit given to me by a customer. The quality on those pieces is excellent. No flash or other problems, and they had been cut from their sprues so well that they didn't require any extra cleaning.

The details are really crisp, and very well sculpted. If anything, they are not *quite* as menacing as GW Thousand Sons, but they are a delish alternative.

pretty sure those are the ones from scibor. Be careful though, as their parts are a little big for 25mm marines. Think of them as in true- scale or whatever.

I'm pretty sure these aren't Scibor's. He does do a 1K conversion kit, but his doesn't have the torsos etc.

I have to say these are undoubtedly the best conversion sets I have seen for Thousand Sons, and I really don't see that 50USD is expensive at all for a kit that will make up 10 marines.

The Terminators are also very, very cool, especially with the animal heads and again I don't think 40USD is unreasonable for a kit that allows you to make 6 termis.

I might have to get myself a set of these before they go, and I don't even play Thousand Sons!!! :)

I may just have to start an egyptian style galagtic knights army... Or possibly a balanced Anarchy Void balanced army of various galagtic knights and devilfiends, as I've been tempted to do that for a while and these mgith just tip me over the edge. nice find :)

These would be in line with Pre-Heresy 1000 Sons, wouldn't they. I keep trying to look at the art from the HH books, and it seems like these would work pretty well. Thoughts?

If you painted them red and gold they would be perfect as Pre-Heresy.

Damn. I have no money to speak of, but I had to snatch a couple of these up. :(

Well, we'll see how they turn out in a few weeks. :)

30 pounds. Despite the government's best efforts, our money is still actually worth something. Not alot, but something.

Should I point out how much the pound has fallen compared to the canadian loonie? Ya, 45%. Now excuse me as i roll around in dirty alberta oil money, and ponder buying the funny walking bridge to put up over a talings pond, so i don't have to step on the dead wildlife :D

sincerly Sheik Oggs.

Good to know. :)

Any idea which arms/legs/weapons he uses with them, perchance?
Without them here with me it's hard to decide what sort of power armour and weapon bitz would go well with them.

I'm not making my Thousand Sons pre-Heresy by any means, but I've always figured they would have more of their old armour than other Chaos Marines ought to, anyway, as they've been largely ghosts imprisoned in their armour since around the Heresy.
