    The Dornian Heresy models, Updated Character Conversions, or Total War Kitbashes are some of my favorites, and just so cool to watch come together.

    @rileyernst9086 ปีที่แล้ว

    I see what you were going for with the trench. I half want to do the same thing, but have the knight striding over a much narrower trench and have some regular troops in the trench cheering.
    A while ago I actually wrote a short bit of fiction with this very scene: Knights defending a manufacturing plant, sallying across the perimeter trenches(manned by regular troops and foot retainers and lesser knights) to attack into the teeth of an enemy assault(under the cover of a bombardment of smoke shells) to wreck some mechanised heretics in close quarters. It was to counter the enemy tactic of advancing with chimeras and armigers to flush the imperial knights out with russes on overwatch, and knights in reserve. My logic is that a tank squadron concentrating fire is going to knock down knight after knight.
    By employing tactical smoke the knights and russes were cut off from supporting the lighter units, the chimera borne troops were left to blunder confused through the smoke, the crews having much less chance of success in the sudden and brief encounters with the enemy in the thick smoke, it was an environment that favored a fully integrated, piloted warsuit and of course the powerful weapons mounted on said warsuits, the chaos armigers left isolated in pockets to face loyalist armigers(yeah no 'war dawgs' this story predates chaos knights kit by like 5 years) working in groups alongside their knights, so despite being unbelieably hardy the chaos armigers really lost out. The chaos knights did reach the melee, but often had to contend with having to face a loyalist knight head on, and it's armigers coming around the sides, fighting as a single unit, so despite their disgusting resilience they did not fare well(having your legs cut out from behind you will knock you on you're ass, and from there they will just dismantle you).

    There are so many great bits to be found online, small armor plates for toes, larger for the sides and fronts of legs, extra leg extensions, not just longer but also an extra joint either way you want it, with their own fitting armor plates, torso extensions, shield, weapons, armor for arms, different heads and complete top armor plates that move the head to another location, ammo belts, new reactors and exhausts, so many awesome stuff, especially if you have a resin 3D printer yourself.

    I find your narration to be just the right mix of engaging and soothing to have in the background while I do other tasks; I find I often learn about some technique I want to give a try on my own figures; and of course, your final results are just pleasant to see. But god *damn* are your figures expensive at the end of the day!
    I'm sure that you get a lot of product supplied to you in exchange for featuring it here, so I expect there's practical limits on what you can do - but I'd personally enjoy an exploration of how to take more budget friendly models like, say, historical armoured vehicle kits or even dollar store toys, and and tweaking them to look like they belong on a 40K battlefield. Preferably in a way that doesn't assume the builder has a huge stash of leftover bits from years of building official models. :)

    Love this scheme, even if a small part of my mind wants it to have gold trim! The construction tips are going to be excellent when I get my knight project going! Thanks! The scheme for the metal bodies is very similar to what I was thinking I'd do. Now I know it'll look great!
