I'm glad it was of help, I've wondered how useful it was and although I can't really follow the data it certainly looks interesting. Hopefully it helps going forward but if you create a megalomaniac AI from it don't blame me ;)40kaddicthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12763647828123242837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7125294933155144215.post-87680914097630080922016-10-05T12:41:51.272+01:002016-10-05T12:41:51.272+01:00Still debating if it's as good as the Cerastus...Still debating if it's as good as the Cerastus base but it did turn out pretty good.40kaddicthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12763647828123242837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7125294933155144215.post-34590097885665129972016-10-05T12:40:47.869+01:002016-10-05T12:40:47.869+01:00Cheers dude, I think it still needs moar gore!Cheers dude, I think it still needs moar gore!40kaddicthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12763647828123242837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7125294933155144215.post-85566978062561086262016-10-05T12:40:19.227+01:002016-10-05T12:40:19.227+01:00Ha, ha, the major stamps were for someone else.

The original intent was not to get too bogged down with what specifically it was I'd achieved otherwise I may as well adopt painting points which just made my brain hurt:<br /><br />http://www.40kaddict.uk/2014/08/painting-points-system-ive-tried-to.html<br /><br />That said the Great Build stamps are verging on this but I justified it on the basis I'm often reluctant to build or feel it's an interruption to painting. It is however necessary in that without building I will have nothing to paint so I wanted some reward for getting stuf fbuilt and try and remove the guilt I feel in the process.40kaddicthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12763647828123242837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7125294933155144215.post-18868753337848309752016-10-05T12:35:20.247+01:002016-10-05T12:35:20.247+01:00A watcher in the dark perhaps :) some nice suggest...A watcher in the dark perhaps :) some nice suggestions.

I especially like the squished termagant on the base.<br /><br />As for the faceplate, I agree that it looks more menacing without it - perhaps you could mount it as part of the base, as if the knight has discarded it on purpose for a better view (like jousting knights sometimes did at the lists when their helmet was damaged or covered in mud/blood)? <br /><br />Alternatively, have a 'squire' of some sort carrying it at his feet?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14058664561498754692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7125294933155144215.post-485007835978330432016-09-28T21:33:54.129+01:002016-09-28T21:33:54.129+01:00Hey Dave,

It's a very misleading model.
