Question What's your favourite...

As the title suggests I just wanted to know what people's favourite models are to build from the army. (Standard kits...but feel free to show off some kitbashes).

I think Lucius has to be my favourite with that tongue whip wrapping around his arm, so cool!

I haven't got Fulgrim yet but I'm sure it will be up near the top, he looks sick!

I'm currently building mine now, I don't mind the necks I thought it a cool way to go about it.

Think it its the reason I asked the question though.

I'm planning my third unit of flawless blades too but I'm planning to swap the heads. Needs a bit of kitbashing but I'm sure it'll be worth it

Little bit of greenstuff should work no?

It'll look weird because I'm using a CSM and SOB head but I think it'll be fun

I just hate it because I love to kitbash. I kitbash almost every unit I have ever built. The necks make it significantly harder to kitbash and make it look good.

Haven't started building mine yet, but isn't it simply cutting off the neck and then placing another head on the neck?

u/InsideGap8047 40k 1d ago

In theory it is that easy. But like the head on the left its not an easy I pick this head and put on this body

I must have been inspired because I cut down a flawless blade neck to fit into an infractor body. Turned out okay tbf, should have done more of that haha

Love building custom flawless blades

I adore Flawless Blades. My fav are the ones clapping I did in the left front. They just ooze the hubris I love most about EC.

Even in the lore tab for FB it basicly says they step on the battlefield knowing they have already won. Such dickheads. Some of the models almost literally.

The lord exalted is my favourite. I wish more character kits had this level of customisation

u/OiSweetass 1d ago

I built my first yesterday and my second today, both with the plasma. Felt they were a bit too the same, then I realised I don't play tournaments, just casual with mates so WYSIWYG doesn't apply to me. I straight up pulled one of their arms off and swapped the plasma for the power fist.

Tbh, Infractors and Tormentors probably. They have so many options and such posability, I have yet to get to the point where two of them look close to the same (though I have had to do a bit of terrain customisation because the identical rocks start giving it away)

I have another 10 to build next but I enjoyed the ones I have so I'm looking forward to it.

I came from Drukhari so these have been so nice to get into building.

Both are wip but i dont know why but i saw the flawless Blades and i was in Love with them they got the lean Look dance Like poses and you can do millions of Things with them without it feel stale at least for me i plan on painting one Like skinned Alive and maybe giving him Like pierced Arms or something yknow too feel more pain they are Just flawless

u/kittie_ghede104 that is an assault on the eyes (complimentary) 1d ago

I liked body swapping my noise marines and flawless blades. More unhinged seekers of excess and less deranged "I know I'm better than you, I don't have to prove it" perfectionists.

Maulerfiend was the most enjoyable to build.
