As updated models go, this is one of the better ones. Unfortunately, it does fall foul of some modern GW flaws - supersized unnecessarily and over-designed. Less really is more in most circumstances.

That reminds me, I still have an unbuilt resin rapier sitting around in the pile of shame... Don't mind this re-design and plastic is good. Crew are cool except for the knee pad design. What is up with that?

Yeah, my trust in their design capabilities is really waning. The Mk. III redesign is straight up bad imo. The aesthetic differences between the current Mk. VI plastics and the Mk. VI designs we've had in plastic and resin from 3rd ed. onward also turn me right off. Even things like the legion command upgrades just feel very removed from the heresy look defined by the initial HH resin line and campaign books.

Ah, here I can actually supply something rather than request https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/game/generic-jump-pack-mk4-pre-supported

Appreciate the input, both. I'm looking for firstborn scale, though, rather than true scale.

Thank you very much. It's nice to see that Red Warden Miniatures migrated to somewhere. They're one of several Shapeways stores I had saved, but obviously those are all gone now. Since most of them didn't trade in the parts I'm now looking for I hadn't thought to look them up and see if they have newer incarnations elsewhere I do have and have made use of some of their legs, but at the moment I am looking for designs closer to the official ones that are now OOP.

I'm not averse to it on principle, but I don't have a printer myself nor do I know anyone who has one. I'm vaguely aware that there are people who will print files you send them, so files of what I'm after rather than an actual item I can purchase from a store are also welcome.

I'm coming back after a couple of years break and I'm completely out of the loop on who the best third party bits purveyors are now. In my absence it seems that a lot of changes have been made to the space marine lines with various plastic and resin firtborn kits going out of print or perenially 'temporarily unavailable'. For the sake of aesthetic preference and matching my existing armies I'm really interested in finding someone who might be selling firstborn scale of the following: - Mk. V (torsos and legs) - Mk. IV (legs primarily, but very keen on any Destroyer/OOP assault squad style torsos) - Mk. VI (legs) Now I know that these are available in the plastic 40k tactical squad box to a certain extent, but the now OOP forgeworld armour sets had running and walking legs that I was quite keen on, so anything in that vein would be particularly appreciated.

Really? I feel most of them look ungainly and as if they're holding poses no one actually would. Particularly on the left hand side of the picture. Now a lot of that can probably be alleviated by making better choices with the arm positioning, but the feet are planted on a lot of them. The old mk. VI tactical marines aren't disimilar, but still have more dynamic legs.

The overall aesthetic of the model is great, but the lower legs and feet exemplify everything I hate about the mk. VI redesign. Just comically oversized.

The whole armour is substantially different to the current Mk.III plastics.

Good stuff. It's a really simple touch, but I like the way you've added a helmet to the Ironclad sarcophagus. Also, as a lover of the box dreads, it's cool to see the Ironclad in a scheme you don't often see it done up in.

I like that Techmarine a lot.

Haven't had time to go through your whole log yet, but I'm loving the creativity on display. Particularly dig the cyber vulture.
