95% complete, we have three new pad types coming out - Scarab and Star Burst for Thousand Sons as well as a Mantis head we are doing for a dakkadakka member.

I have the sudden urge to give all my Necrons that Scarab shoulder pad...

Looking good keep it up!

Looks like I'll be popping some shoulder pads off my Pre Heresy Thousand Sons YAY!!!!!

Awesome as usual. What's the ETA on them?

1 month or so would be my estimate, I want to get Tom to do some Terminator ones as well.

Like the scarab body, but not the legs so much.
Hoping those change a bit.

I REALLY like the chain around the mantis pad.

Eric

awesome, my thousand sons finally can have good pads. now if i may ask what happened to that chaplain head?

They look a little shallow for marine shoulders, could we see some on a model?

Ah cool, will the Termi Pads be Pre-Heresy style as well? That would save me a lot of shaving Dreadnaught Pads

How close are these to the same shape as GW shoulder pads? It's kinda a deal breaker for me at least if they are different shaped.

I know they are pretty spot on for regular space marine shoulder pads, I guess all I can do is post a picture with another of our models.

Painted pad on the right picture (right shoulder) is a standard plastic GW pad. Pad on the left marine are ours (both arms).

I´ll start on a scarab pad tomorrow for terminator sized minis.

1: What didnt you like with the legs? What could I make any different?

2: Skull/chaplain helmets are done, as soon as I paint some up for showcase they (pics) go up on the side.
I might start painting those tomorrow as well.

3: Pre heresy styled scarab terminator pad like in how? How "pre heresy" should it be? Based on a segmented termie sized pad?
Any raised rim and if so what should the rim look like?

These are up to you to affect, I´ll listen to input as I make them.

in regards to the terminator pads i'd say some like these, heads too if at all possible

As above, the two terminators standing behind. Maxmini make some, just for more reference http://www.maxmini.eu/store/index.php?main_page=popup_image&pID=88

For me...
Hmm. How to describe it...
It's like the scarab body is sculpted *onto* the bad. You ADDED material to make it.
For the legs, though, you added material, then put impressions into it to represent them.
It's like... gah, I wish I had the right words... It's almost like you changed the texture of the sculpt.

I'd like them better if the legs were sculptes on in addition to the body.

That make sense?

Now, to be fair, the likelyhood of my buying these, whether you change them or not, is almost non-existent. I have no need for any more T-Sons.
So if others, who are more likely customers, like them, don't go changing them because of something I said. KWIM?
I was just giving my input in an attempt to help.

Yeah I understand where you are coming from.
I thought of making the terminator pad legs not being impressions though.
Dunno why but I like the impressions, makes the pad look unique in some way.

Thanks for the input Eric

Maybe make the legs rounder.
BTW, any intention to add Thousand style head decoration? To be fair, Scibor just did something along that road.

Very nice!

It may be the pics but the scarab body looks so tall. Resembles a deer tick and not a scarab in my opinion. I love the chain on the shoulder pad however.

the amntis warrior pads look a bit like autobot symbols. i like the thousand sons pads though, and the scarab one, that is really well done.

I´m seriously considering sculpting up something. If I do it will be way more then a headgear addon.

My idea to a 1000k player was to sculpt Anubis, Horus and similar heads/masks (incl. Tut-Ench-Amun). How about that? Lots of potential! Absolutely no IP conflict

The scarab head might be a bit too large, but I really like how the legs were done.

I'd like to see some 1ksons pre-hersey head's and weapon's.

I've been wanting to do this army for awhile, but don't have the timeto do the conversions. I'd be in for what ever you make for them.

These parts look very nice! Shame I've already assembled my pre-Heresy Thousand Sons. The Mantis Warrior icon works great.

Do you plan on making some of the points on the 1k sons symbol like their icon, like this?

These are easily your best sculpts yet. I can't wait until you can go back revise the Salamander pads to this level.

Nice work.

The Scarab one sticks out too much. Could it be flattened out a bit like the Mantis and the eight-pointed Thousand Suns pads?

First let me say I love you guys at CHStudios for doing this.

I like the scarab pad but is there anyway to make the starburst look more like the Tson starburst or is that an IP thing? If you do make terminator pads please make them pre heresy ish. Like this guys pads

And for leg armor is it possible to make leg armor with the Kartousch?(sp?) like in this picture

Other than that you're my dream come true.
