Thousand Sons Question

[Meigeall]

I rather hope the sorcerers figure out how to make new marines and start trying to take loyal marines prisoner to restock the supply.

That's probably why we don't see any helmutless 1k Sons

I feel like you guys are focusing way to much on the dust factor, like somehow the dust inside the suits creates organs and muscles. I think when they say the thousand sons were turned into dust inside their power armor what they are trying to get across is the loss of their physical form. the armor is magic and contains the essence of the warrior but that if not necessarily a pile of dust. I don't think there is any particular power to the dust, it's just a physical artifact of their firmer self. A rubric wouldn't be bothered by losing an arm. That doesn't work if the soul slips out of any crack in the armor

I always thought of the Thousand Suns as like the brother in Full Metal Alchemist. Just suits of armor that happen to have their bodies remains and that if the armor is hurt and some dust gets away, who cares! Their souls are in the armor!

Love that show.

Love that show.

That's how I've always perceived the rubrics: some sort of rune in the armor, locking the soul in place and forcing them to be more servile. The body itself is long since gone, any dust in the boots is just the long since decayed remains, but have no bearing on the effect of the rubric itself.

I imagine that had any Thousand Son without psyker powers been without a helmet, that the moment after the Rubric was performed their flesh disappeared, their souls were bound into their armor, and their armor assembled into one complete suit if they weren't all together already.

Now I really want to model a Thousand Son without a helmet, just a spear of warpflame coming out of the neck socket.

[Katharon]

Do it. I want to see something that awesome.

I recall a book cover with an open-faced helmet on a Thousand Son - had a magicglowyflamey skull.
