Another update on the Avatar, been working on a base for him as well.
Thanks. I modelled it in blender and was trying to mash up the old epicast model and the original rhino kit
Before answering your questions I'd just like to say that you are off to a great start. The figure in the main picture has a good movement to it and feels like a natural pose.

If you don't already keep a bits box. This should be where you keep spare parts from sprues or that you have cut off any models you have been kit bashing. I also chuck in things that might be useful that would otherwise end up in the bin, wire, mesh, tubes, scraps of plastic packaging that can be repurposed, just whatever you think might be useful.

I use unscented Dettol. Leave plastic or metal in it overnight and use some fresh Dettol and a toothbrush to clean them up. Just be sure to put plenty of paper down underneath as the paint gunk dries and can pretty much only be cleaned up by scrubbing it with more Dettol.

Looking at your other comments I would also recommend the Howling Griffons, but if you have a colour scheme that you think would look cool just use that and make yourself a nice successor chapter. Personally one of the things I have always enjoyed about 40k is being able to make up your own lore.
One last piece of advice if you plan to do more sculpting with putty. Try getting your hands on some greenstuff, it is my modelling putty of choice and gives the best finished product in my opinion.
Been (slowly) working on an old Avatar of Khaine
๐ Interesting, how does this picture make your back feel?
They arrived yesterday morning, but life has been all over me recently so didn't get a chance to photograph them until today.
Thank you again
Progress on my gargant, this thing has so much damn surface area!
Here is my entry
In progress
My warboss is coming along, so I thought I would share my in progress shot with you
I've packed these guys away as I'll not be doing much with them for a while, but I'll post other FDM 3D printed minis and try to get some better pictures. I'm fairly new to miniature photography, but I'm learning so hopefully future photos will show details better.
Maybe I'll make an ork add-on kit at some point, I plan to use all my early test prints to make a looted one for my orks as I can just cover over all the bad bits with random armour plates.
I'll post again when it's up on cults.
Not a chance, the new one is over twice the height of this fella
