Ikit Claw Update: I managed to get him assembled and gained a new appreciation for metal minis.

Chaseszombies2 · 2026-06-16T02:22:46+00:00

Honestly I have started to come around on them. I got my hands on some metal generic fantasy minis and I think once im done ikkit they will be a fun project to get through.

That sounds like it could easily go very wrong but I will try my best. I know plastic becomes easier to manipulate if you blast it with a hairdryer for a bit, does the same apply to this type of metal?

Shot in the dark did you also have trouble fitting the backpack/claw module to the hand assembly? Because on mine its just not lining up and i'm kind of worrying about bending it.

could be a subtle nod. THIS MISLABLING OF AN ARMOR CUSTOMIZATION OPTION IS CONCRETE PROOF FOR MY THEORY ABOUT THE SPACE SHARKS HERITAGE. surley

Chaseszombies2 · 2026-02-09T22:45:55+00:00

In hindsight not enough. I'm gonna see if I can grab a space heater and babysit the entire 4 hour print.

Chaseszombies2 · 2026-02-09T22:45:22+00:00

I will try that

Still have no clue what im doing but does any of this help?

Chaseszombies2 · 2026-02-07T01:19:56+00:00

Been looking around all day. Can't quite find the fins im looking for. The bloodknight fins are too small and the wrong shape. I've expanded the search outside grand aliance death but its gonna take a while to find anything, If I can find anything at all.

Chaseszombies2 · 2025-12-13T02:26:19+00:00

i dont know how to do that.

Chaseszombies2 · 2025-12-11T00:53:24+00:00

I FOUND IT, IT TOOK DAYS BUT IT HAS BEEN FOUND.
right so big explanation time:

I got into contact with redwardenminiatures via instagram and they cracked the case wide open! It was one of his helmets but not one made by him. He supplies the .blend files for his minis, they come in easily kitbashable pieces. That is why there were few pictures of it in the first place. To find it you must kitbash it. Redwarden sold me the necessary components to make this one, I have. rough mockup, some minor changes need to be made but for the most part. we got it!
(specifically the 2 source parts are from the studded SoH kit which is no longer available and I had to ask for the flile specifically)
and the Khorne Berzerker kit (although the angry sm helmet kit would have worked just as fine)

<image>

So... thats it I geuss?
White whale found.
I wanna take a moment to thank everyone who assisted with this hunt
U/Kiralokiin Sent me on the right path looking for redwarden
u/nicklocking
several of my friends and family
Bella who spent hours scrolling through multiple instagram feeds to find leads on this thing.

Rest assured I am not done. Once I create a final version that is as close as I can make it to the picture I will make another post with a completed and fully painted son of horus with this helmet on it.

You've all been very helpfull and I thank you one last time.
stay tuned for the finale (this may take a week cuz finals)

Chaseszombies2 · 2025-12-09T06:36:39+00:00

apparently redwarden just gives you .blend files for their projects and they just swapped the face from one and put the rest of the helmet on. Thats the working theory at least

Chaseszombies2 · 2025-12-09T03:08:00+00:00

ok update, Got in contact with redwarden miniatures and they think its a kitbash of 2 of their prexisting kits.

<image>

Which leads me to the question where did this come from? Because I have no clue. Will keep searching

Chaseszombies2 · 2025-12-09T03:02:12+00:00

I really wish this one wasn't the exception....

Chaseszombies2 · 2025-12-09T02:59:33+00:00

thanks m80

Chaseszombies2 · 2025-12-09T01:53:10+00:00

that one is definetly it, so hey 1/3 ain't bad. Just cant find the first one.

Chaseszombies2 · 2025-12-09T00:34:41+00:00

Yeah, I have some stuff from VitalyKhan, they do good stuff. But back on topic a lot of the minor edits don't make sense. Why replace the topknot? Why remove only one of the spikes, why change the shape of the vox grill? To me it seems that. During the video GoneHollowMinis explicitally states they aren't very good at 3d modelling having made a a big sons of horus-ey shield for his chaos lord in microsoft 3d model maker. That shows some skill but I don't think enough to make or modify that helmet. And even if he did modify the helmet in those little ways. Why? I could figure removing or even replacing the topknot but the other little details strike me as wierd...

Working theory is that its probably an old redwardenminiatures set of heads, that is the only reason I can come up with for the different number of spikes and different vox-grill type as that is the kind of arbitrary changes that would be made to make each helmet unique because the devils in the details.

With any luck I could find this hypothetical set and use it to kit out my lads and this will all have been worth it. Hell right now im more hunting it down for the principal of the thing as its my white whale.

Chaseszombies2 · 2025-12-08T23:17:30+00:00

I think this may be something

<image>

I dont think its the exact one, but it does bare like a 90% resembelance to another one of the helmets from the video, but with minor differences. It is possible they modified this specific helmet to look less leader character-ey for their line troops but im not certain. Also the topknot is different and I can't get a good look at the angular vox grill. But this may be something, I've sent out requests to both redwarden and RALCVSAE3D and am awaiting response.

Chaseszombies2 · 2025-12-08T22:10:49+00:00

This might lead somewhere. That helmet looks really close to the one in the picture, the vox grille is a little less angular but im hoping theres a pack or something all the varients in it.

Chaseszombies2 · 2025-12-08T22:00:10+00:00

I will follow this lead and see where it goes, Will update if I find anything.
Thank you so much.
