Getting hooked into Sigmar, friend got me another model I posted earlier (the lord-relictor), and this was the freebie Vindictor from the Warhammer store they hand out to those starting out. Ended up getting one of 'getting started' boxes and split that with a friend. Will probably get around to those and post more when I make more progress.

I usually run Grey Knights in 40k; wanted to do something other than the blue and gold, but I also like the aesthetic they had.

Ended up doing Grey Knight Steel for the main color (since I have so much of it lol) and accenting it with bits of gold and purple because I liked how it looked :)

Some more angles:

A friend is motivating me to start a Sigmar army, so they got me this model to get me hooked haha. I usually work on Grey Knights for 40k.

Here are some more angles:

Gonna do text on banners and stuff later. x.x

Almost finished up a brotherhood chaplain for my grey knights. Really wish I could get my hands on the older model.

Any tips doing text? X.x scared to attempt those lol

Some other pics; alsomagnetized the hands for swaps (not like it was necessary, but I like maximizing kits lol).

Finished up my Knight in my Grey Knights color scheme/finish. Whole things is magnetized like crazy. Can swap out the masks, banners, shield, all the weapons, etc. Also magnetized the wrist joint on the fist so I could rotate it. I wanted to use the whole dang kit! (Including Sir Hekhtur) :)

Strung up a few LEDs to illuminate it. Rocks (made from wood chips from my yard lol) hide LEDs to shine up at the banner and chest. If/when I get brave enough, I'll attempt painting text :p

LEDs in the cockpit are fed through bare ethernet wire I strung down the sides and into the legs (WIP post).

If anyone has any suggestions for a micro LED, I'd like to tuck one behind the head and have it backlight through the face masks.

I keep getting generic 'failed to upload image' errors when trying to do image posts or post images in comments. My account is logged into lemmy.world, is there a way to see any more details about the errors? I can't figure out why they keep failing. Different formats, etc too.

Update

I think I figured it out, appears to be an issue with file size. Haven't nailed down if it's an issue with resolution or file size, but I've been sticking with 1mb or less and less than 2048x2048 and things have been working out so far.

Thank you for the help/replies :)

I think I'm getting the hang of faces finally. Did this guy's eyes way too many times. haha

Knight I've been working on and off for a little while now. Arms, weapons, face mask, hatch and shield piece and hanging banner will be magnetized. Wanting to maximize that kit lol. Some interior LED lights, blue kind of gets blown out in the camera. Exposed copper wire run down the legs (can see it on the left leg; will be hidden by armor) and will be passed into and under the base. Plan to have the connector/batt be removable so I can just hook up the lights when I want to display them.

update: finished Knight post

Saving the text and seal bits for later
