I need your help! [new month brainstorm]
🕑 Added 2025-03-02 09:28:58 +0000 UTC
Well guys, it's a new month!
It's time to choose which designs will be released. I've drawn up a number of sketches (some were already there last month, others are in development, etc.).
The question is, what are we going to create this month as the main piece?
If you have any other ideas, post them as a comment! :)

I might just do that! It's a possible project for the year :)

Yeah that makes total sense. Perhaps a more mk 2/3 inspired segmented armour set in the future

It might be a good idea! After all, my aim isn't to copy existing armor. I'd really like to create my own armor. :)

I agree that lieutenant/captain is the most exciting thing for me. With a big cape. Another idea would be to look (in the future) at making perhaps some mk2, 4 or 6 armour in the same style for 30k and 40k enjoyers. Great work, keep it up!
mael bazoin
Yes, so I'd go with the idea I said to ‘radi4n ‘in the comments! You'll like it ;)

You've given me a great idea, mate! If I go for the lieutenant's creation, I'll do what my heavy guards do! There'll be a position for the miniature and then armour plates for all the general factions + blank plates for the kitbash. At least everyone will be able to use it for their army! I'm also trying to adapt plates for the torso but it's more complicated but I think I can do it. I'll wait until tonight to see the results of the poll and then I'll see what I can do (and if it's not selected this month, it'll probably be available next month).

I think that a generic lieutenant kit would be really handy - a few different types of base model in 'heroic'/HQ style poses, with a good selection of slightly fancier than usual weapons (they are master-crafted after all 😉) covering the various possible loadouts they can be equipped with. Would also be entirely usable to build fancy sergeants for squads, especially if mixed and matched with previous releases.... Heads are not too much of a priority in my opinion, the different factions have many different heads already - but I REALLY like the separate shin plates from your heavy guard kit and I think this could be a great way to help a generic kit still have the flavour of the faction. Even if you start with only a few types of generic fancy shin plates (plus maybe a blank one if people want to try adding their own designs/iconography) for now, it would be designed and built from scratch with it as a modular kit in mind, to be expanded and added to later - something which I feel would make it a lot easier to eventually have every faction represented, without an unreasonable workload for you. I would also really like a similar system for the front of the torso, different fancy chest armour plates that attach to the base bodies, I think it would make the kit phenomenal - although you are the only one who knows if it would be better built into the design from the start, or if it could work as an extension to the kit, if the shin idea ends up being successful.

I might add that as an option if I make the voidborn weapon set!
Spear Sigma
I don't know if it fits in with the heavy boys, or maybe another set, but I think all these knights and big boys need a wrist gun, to pull off a grey knights vibe.
I LOVE GOD
Sick, can't wait to print it then!
mael bazoin
Yes, this weapon will be available if I create heavy weapons. For the moment I'm more into generic creations and small bits for each chapter.
I LOVE GOD
I think a heavy flamer for the heavy voidborn would be cool. I also think it would be cool if he was designed to look like a specific chapter, or successors chapter. BA, DA or IF maybe?
