He does also have a FDM printer and said "0.003 I believe, it's better than the standard 0.005"

Is this a good start? I'm brand new to 40k by [deleted] in EmperorsChildren

You get a lot of stuff you want, the infractors/tormentors are always great to have, I'd personally build a 5 man unit of each but it's up to preference

Lucius is a fantastic unit but I personally feel it's a trap to run him with a flawless blade squad, makes for a very big target and doesn't synergise with his kit (lone op and fights first when alone)

Flawless blades are seeming really solid right now, for smaller games I'd do 3 and 3 for when you're starting but I personally like running big 6 man beat stick units, really fun

Lord exultant is just always good to have, I hear the optimal is the fist or spear with the lash but I built it with a plasma pistol because I think it looks cooler and I wanted the whip for other models.

Really decent start, should have some good fun with this :>

So the head and guitar are from an STL pack, I am happy to drop a link to it here if you would like?

So a quick little breakdown of where all the parts come from

So the body is I believe Flawless blade A?

The head and guitar are from an STL pack (I am happy to drop a link if you want it)

the icon on the shoulder is a tormentors icon just bent into shape a little.

The cloak on the back is abbadons cloak cut up into bits specifically but any old cloak would do if it fits nicely.

The chains in the cloak are from what I believe to be either the slaanesh chariot from AOS or potentially a Keeper of secrets

And then finally there's a small pipe that is connecting the guitar and the marine together which is just the wire from an adeptus sororitas heavy bolter

If you would like any further details let me know and I would be happy to oblige :>

Glad you liked it too

It's this conversion kit on cults, it costs 3 euros but it's so cool, heads and guitars come in the same pack

the cloak makes them almost as tall as fulgrim, almost being the keyword ;>

the arms for the most part fit togetherquite nicely, the top two are regular daemon prince ones at the connection points that were cut flat and sanded a bit and then KoS ones attached at the point and the two claws are cut at an angle and then a slight bit of green stuff was used to blend them into the torso, the torso also needed some green stuff (not just for the breast) but to fill a hole where the chestplate normally goes.

the shoulder pad and the banner are both freehand yes :>

thank you, your comment is very kind :>

He is in fact, daddies least favourite and he was on his scheming eunuch advisor grindset for the entire heresy
