I think that's a really nice touch. Especially the one where it replaces the eye.

[Brofist]

Cheers, and thanks for sharing your thoughts. I'll probably do some in the eyeballs for variation?

[Cactus]

Yeah, not all of them but a few here and there makes them that little bit more grotesque.

[Brofist]

Work's been busy, but I did manage to get a lil further on this guy. Should I give him Mk2 or Mk3 legs?

[Doctor Perils]

These guys are looking incredible! Can't wait to see them all painted up together

[Cactus]

Mk III would be in keeping with the amount of armour plating and large shield, but I wonder if Mk II would make him seem more nimble? Tough choice.

[SkimaskMohawk]

I think mk 2; it channels the overlapping plates of lamellar.

 

Really great takes on the 5th. They're really inspiring and helping me get in the zone for painting the big boy himself.

[Brofist]

Cheers guys. I might go with MK2 as it will be easier to convert, tough I'm real partial to MK3....

[Cactus]

SkimaskMohawk makes a good point about the overlapping style of Mk II. I think you should start with Mk II. If you don't like it just add big knee and shin plates as that's essentially what Mk III is.

Getting closer to finishing these

 

[Brofist]

This is probably one of the dumber I things I do in this hobby

 

 

Then I file them flat. I like it because I spend so much time on my dudes, the extra weight makes them feel more substantial when I play. Entirely a tactile thing.

[Pearson73]

The troopers are looking solid. I think the way you fill the bases is pretty cool, I like the idea of each model having more weight.

[Brofist]

It feels nice. I used to use coins, but then they started making bases with textures, so I had to come up with this instead. Here's a side project I've been working on- the infernal engines known as 'pickles' and 'knuckles'. Resin bases means no lead weights hah

Almost done with these 10 seekers/scouts

 

[Marshal Mittens]

Those combi-chooms loom great; are they 3d printed?

Those combi-chooms loom great; are they 3d printed?

Was just looking at this myself :)  I'm guessing with all your wonderful conversion work that people don't care much for such a thing?

[Spagunk]

From what I remember, he did have the guns 3d printed but then added resin bits like the drums and the scopes to them.

[Brofist]

Spag is right, these are 3d printed, but also converted with bits. Best of both worlds

[LameBeard]

Oooh are those the Anvil Industry scopes? I have them on my wish list for my seekers. They look lovely.

 

And nice work on weighting the bases. Not only does it feel nicer, you lower the centre of gravity, so it’s better on the tabletop too.

[Brofist]

Thanks man! It's going to be important for this army, since I'm using the old metal raptor backpacks. Here's the squad leader. Turned out better than I expected:

 

[LameBeard]

Lovely. I can see you’ve done loads of different things there and yet it all comes together. I especially like the bionic leg. Where’s the head from?

[Brofist]

Thanks m8! The head is from a black templar character... I forget the name

[Brofist]

Here's what I've been working on. Took longer than I expected. I was going to magnetize, but it was bear so I just dropped the idea. Tiny spikes were also a test of patience, but I like the net effect.

Now with riders

 

[Waaagh?]

Now with riders

 

hey man, those look awesome! do you have a link to the Stl for the mkii riders?
