My first Knight I have done. The head, chainsword and feet are 3d printed. I am still considering redoing the paint on the head, so if anyone has any suggestions. I want to make the eyes pop a little more. Thanks.

The feet and chainsword are excellent pieces, the head I'm not so sure about. It looks too plain and elongated, particularly as it only covers the top of the head, down to the eyes. I don't know how best to put it into words but I'd say it'd look better if you altered it and bulked it out a bit so it looked more like the actual head rather than just a small mask placed over the eyes.

Looking good!!!

Looks absolutely awesome, well done!

Have you considered hitting the head with a glossy black glaze? One transparent enough the gunmetal can be seen through at the edges?

I really like the chainsword, that's awesome and the execution in general is well done.

I do not like the head it seems overly simplistic and ends up looking out of place, if you can I'd go back to the normal knight head, use the "T" shaped visor reinstall the neck armor and build an Egyptian headdress around the neck armor in the same vein as the 1k sons contemptor or Osiron dreads.

To be clear you've done well just for me the head is jarring, but it's not my model, the above is what I would do, also I would get the Forgeworld transfer sheet, they have Anubis symbols and a winged sun that goes perfectly where the freeblade/aquilla symbol should go.

Awesome. I like the desert base.

I think a golden head would potentially look better.

The shapes work...but the paintjob isn't delivering them I don't think. The first pic I wasn't sure what I was looking at initially. Overall, neat idea. I think it could do with a lot more conversion on the body/shoulders/etc.

Neat. I have the bits to do a trio of these for my own Thousand Sons, although I'll use the regular feet.

Love the arm, love the feet! The head however, I think looks a tad long.

This is a REALLY bad photoshop, but hopefully gives a better idea of what i mean?



That said, your skills are far better than mine, so take this with a pinch of salt!

Excellent work
