About Thousand Sons

Sorcerers and Rubricae bound to Tzeentch's schemes.

The Thousand Sons are a Legion of psykers and dust-filled armour. Rubric Marines march in silence while sorcerers rewrite the battlefield. Their aesthetic is ornate, Egyptian-inspired, and popular with painters.

Sealed Combat Patrols and Scarab Occult Terminators hold value. Character kits and Tzaangor boxes fill out armies. Watch for magazine partworks mis-tagged as full boxes.

Themes: Tzeentch · Rubricae · Ahriman

Where to start

Start with Combat Patrol: Thousand Sons. Add Rubric Marines or a named sorcerer next. Compare Scarab Occult sealed floors before paying premiums.
