Is a bad idea reading Ahriman The Omnibus as my very first Warhammer book?

Is a bad idea reading Ahriman The Omnibus as my very first Warhammer book?

I have some good context of Ahriman and Warhammer 40k in general thanks to youtube videos, but I havent read any book or codex yet, but I got very interested in Ahriman character and the Thousand sons, so Im really tempted to start with Ahriman books as first ones. Is it a bad idea?

Alternate color schemes ideas?

Pic unrelated but I’m about to officially start a T-sons army and want some ideas of alternate color schemes. Thanks!

Flesh changes, the Warp is infinite!

Above the landscape of the Planet of Sorcerers, there is one whose mutations have turned him into a monster!

He does not care. The Warp has granted him powers beyond comprehension! He sees the future, as Corvidae do, in all its permutations!

It is enough!

Space for an exalted sorcerer?

Wanting to try and find space in my army for an exalted sorcerer, it’s a 2000 point army with grand coven detachment. I’d prefer to keep the terminators, defiler and Magnus

I’m building my first 1,000-point army.

I bought the Sekhmet Coven Battleforce, a box of Rubric Marines, Ahriman, and Tzaangors.
Is this a good setup? Or am I going to get my ass kicked? 😂😂😂

Tzaangor Enlightened with Fatecaster Greatbows

Well, I just finished painting them and I'd like to share a little bit of pride here!

Sorcerer on Disk kitbash.

My second kitbashed sorcerer on disk. Using bits from the dark apostle and exalted sorcerers I’ve made what I think is a pretty cool unit. This guy took me longer to do than I wanted but overall I’m happy it’s done. I still could use highlights in some areas to push details more but I’ve got so many more pieces to paint before the army is done I decided to throw in the towel.

Hope you guys enjoy and feel free to critique the piece.

Perspective check

I need a perspective check. I've been playing our army since early 10th edition with over 300 games in total. Since the data slate, I feel like our army is in a tough spot.

Our units are less useful than they were and continue to cost more. Key abilities have changed on some of our options. We're stuck on 3DP detachments or trying to combo the ritual of regen with something.

SOT's and magnus have to lift heavy and have rolls go off to be useful.It feels heavily reliant on lethal hits or a lucky dev wounds to put in damage. But we're still mainly wounding on 5's and 6's into most armies (assuming rubric phalanx no magnus and not GC)

My winrate has shifted massively since the data slate and armies I'd normally never worry about have become so much tougher. Is it just me, or is our dusty boys in a tough spot?

I put my terminators shoulder pads on backwards any fix?

I used plastic glue I think he might just be stuck like this, but honestly it’s not that bad because it’s hardly noticeable

Full Army Picture

Haven’t posted a full army photo in quite a while. I still need to finish my rhino, build/paint my Heldrake, and my fourth block of rubrics (ten man squad). Once that is done, I will move on to my second army

Finished Exalted Sorcs on Foot Trio

Open to c&c didnt realize how many hairs got stuck to the models when I sealed them so my apologies for that.

A noob seeking some direction

I recently started back on this kit. When I first bought it I didn’t realize there were different configurations of Rubrics and such in the box and just started building…. Big mistake. Now I don’t really know what I’ve built or what I should build going forward.

Any advice about what I should or shouldn’t build here? I’m DYING to play this game (just like
my dusty boys) but I’m paralyzed by the thought of building the wrong thing and wasting this box.

What detachment is the best to use for 1k points t

I’m a returning player to T’sons I have over 2000 points, but my friend who plays Necrons only has 1000 points.

I don’t own any of the sekhetar robots, I only have one vehicle the maulerfiend and I never really run more than a 10 man of tzaangors, probably because my play group is obsessed with blast for some reason.

Do I just pick Ritual of Regeneration and pick anything else DP1 even if it’s not giving me anything?

I'm curious if you include detachment and stratagem buffs into an ideal target what unit has the highest damage on average in our army?

Little Help with what to buy to get to 2k please

Hi all,

Did a thing today and bought the TSons combat patrol and Sekhmet coven boxes after doing some research think they look pretty solid buys.

By the time I bring Ahriman in and Magnus I'm almost at 2k points. .

So couple of questions if I may - when is it worth having things leading rubric marines / Scarab Occult Terminators?

Are there any things I should be looking to drop / include?

I'm not going to be competing any time soon so casual friend games only so army doesn't have to be hyper competitive, I'm only just back at 40k, been playing Blood Angels but wanted an extra option and it was between TSons and Tau. Ended up choosing TSons...

From the videos I've been watching on YouTube we don't have much use of daemons outside of running the special detachment so was just wondering- should I finish with leaders on all my units or enhancements etc. Or is there something you would add.

Thanks in advance!

My minis - Expanding my TSons!

First time painting rubrics after wrapping up the old combat patrol (tzaangors + termies) as well as the first sorcerers. Can’t wait to kick off the demon prince and rhino next!
