Warhammer 40k

Thought you guys might like this. I bought a 3d printer about six months ago and have been slowly been working on bigger projects with it.

I am now designing a new set of armor for my Imperial Knights. It uses an angular aesthetic rather than the curved one of the regular kit. I'm still in the prototyping stage (laying out the basic shapes and making sure parts actually, you know, fit) but I'm far enough along that I've got a mock-up for all the components.

I'm really happy with how things are coming along. Obviously it needs to be detailed out with vents, rivets, etc, and printed at a higher resolution but the basics are all in place. Only shape that I really think needs some tweaking is the shin guard.

Getting everything to fit was a bastard. I don't know if any of you guys have handled these kits before but the mounting points for a lot of this stuff uses complex curves that are a nightmare to duplicate using just a caliper for measurements. The back piece all by itself needs to mate into eight pegs and six different curved surfaces as well as have cutouts for the exhaust to pass through.

Why is he freaked out by this? He seemed to be nervous and i wonder why cypher is trying to do =/

Dunno loads of theories abound why hes nervous

Main theory is that hel kill the emperor and set him free
It may be guilliman after seeing the state of the emperor knows that thats cypers goal and is afraid of it....ie hes unsure of whatl happen but sirta knows its gotta be

they need to flesh him out a bit more anyways who is he and what not. Also i noticed he doesnt carry the Ctan phase sword anymore which i thought he did.

Yeah true
well they have cockteased us long enough...hes there on terra and gonna escape his prison prob to slip into emperors room , lets finaly see what his ass is all about

I like the theory hes just manipulated like a meat puppet from afar by the lion to constantly test his legion
Or maybe the fallen = loyalist and dark angels were the traitors stuff could be true
 
Hey guys, can I get an opinion? I've been working on detailing out my 3D model for my knight armor and would like some feedback. I think it's in a pretty good spot as it sits but I've been stairing at this damn thing for so long I'm not sure if I'm missing anything obvious (like a spot that desperately needs more detail or something just looks off). Here's the pics (and keep in mind the two openings at the very top will have a mesh/screen on top of it so the wiring bits aren't all that important it just needed something to take up space that looked vaguely technical)

EDIT: Oh, and a couple other details. The capacitor bank thingy at the back is designed to match up with the existing details on the GW kit so their size/shape can't be changed. And the two rectangular openings on the sides can't be changed either because that's where the existing exhaust pops up through (can be seen in my previous pictures).

looks like your mixing the Warhound and knight together. i like it
 
The new "Not-Necromunda" box that GW showed off at the retailer expo this week looks like it's got some interesting potential.

Also, the new AoS dwarf models are quite interesting. The models themselves look to be well designed, but also they are alo taking AoS in a new direction that is really different from the Old World. Which I like, I think giving the setting a more unique feeling is important.

My biggest goal was to get the shape away from the "mars pattern" aesthetic that GW/Forgeworld uses on all these big kits.

i actually like what your doing with it. I've seen some pretty awesome custom knights and people on the W40k group on facebook will throw money at you to get your hands on them lol.




On a sidenote: i'm considering getting my hands on those libra choatica books. i remember seeing one with what looks like a lock and key.....i cant remember what it was

Yeah its daft i mean they are already made from primarchs .. wtf extra could they do?
And if they can supercharge the process..why would it be one chapter why wouldnt all chapters copy the process?
It makes 0 sense in the lore

Gene Seed straight from the primarch will still have the ability to create the lost organs but beyond that I don't see what else they can get

Guillimans chapters and sucessors as far as i recall havent lost any ....part of the reason the smurfs (ultramarines) have produced about half of all sucessors is due to gene seed purity
(And of course the other reason is they are all good lil codex following imperium obedient troopers)
 
Um....so there are sister of scilence in the new gathering of the storm.



So where the fuck did they come from?

Might have been hanging out on the Black Ships. The SoS were originally part of the Astra Telepathica and the Black Ships are run by that division.
