Better then the mechanical pencils the eldar/ Aledari/ dark eldar/ Drukhari use 

There's nothing about this entry that's not fantastic. The lore is so fun, the Saturnine is used beautifully as an obliterator proxy, but the real stars are those Servitors! I love armies where the centerpieces have character, and the Keeper of Ledgers is flanked by two of the most characterful models I've seen in ages.

Paint-wise, I really admire the dried and crumbly sense of age you've been able to convey. I feel like dirty models are often heavily washed and feel "wet." Yours seem as if they've weathered the millennia like an ancient Egyptian crypt.

Reading and enjoying, good Sir! I love mixing your army lore into the entries, too!

The model looks awesome. From the pictures, I could not tell if the banner was already mounted. Is there a clean surface for adding the banner? I seem to remember running into issues with an old FW version of the sculpt.

You will have to show us what you do with the magnets. This could be instructional for a lot of people.

Thank you, it is a great model to put together so can’t take any credit there! I’ll try and take some snaps once I get things magnetised (and if it looks reasonable).

For those in the UK Dragoon Gaming have some nice stuff and I’ve got a few odds and ends for: them for kitbashing.
 

The model has a flat-ish surface behind the head and after dropping one of my other models twice and snapping the banner I shortened the pole so that I could subtly attach this in 3 places - I ended up gluing the bottom of the pole and then a corner of the banner each side to the shoulders. It seems pretty solid.

Great use of that banner and rather fight it in its current load out….power armor stops pencils!!! Except those wielded by John Wick or the Joker. imperial victory!
 

 

Ha, it’s because the imperials have those HB pencils whereas the heretics can only scavenge 2B pencils and a crappy old sharpener…

The chains are cool, I am just too clumsy to have anything like that on my models- I know I would touch them wrong and bits would just pop off. Very well done though!

Thank you so much!

I found them quite fiddly to do and had quite a lot of glue everywhere! I ended up using sugar flower wire and gluing the chain on so they actually have a nice bit of flex to them for positioning. I haven’t had one fall off yet… so keeping my fingers crossed!
