    I also had the Grey Knights on the brain. Dry brushing on that base layer over a black prime is very satisfying.

    If cold weather is affecting your prints, have you tried a heater? There are USB rechargeable hand/pocket warmers. They are not much, and do not produce a lot of heat, but in an enclosure they can raise it a few degrees. I like the ones that have multiple settings.

      Awesome. Definitely looks like it. I'm on DMG Minis Patreon, and he posted a note that he might be redoing the entire CAP kits this month on Patreon for all the past models, including the Silver Wardens.
      You probably know all this, but for those who don't, his Dreadknight is absolutely amazing. It makes GW's look even more silly than it already does. Putting it together was like building a professionally made model kit.
      He even made an add-on for it that converts it back into a baby-carrier version (which I literally have printing right now on my Saturn 3 Ultra). The cloak alone made the print job take 4 hours due to the height!
      In his Silver Wardens edition of the GW "baby-carrier" Dreadknight add-on, you can make the Grandmaster inside have no legs - with hoses and wires instead connecting to the torso of the Dreadknight. It makes the baby-carrier Dreadknight make more sense - like a way for the maimed Grey Knight to work alongside his brothers despite being legless, but not quite broken enough to be entombed in a Dreadnought.
      Sorry for the book-length response. I'm just pumped about these bad bois.

    Grey knights are one of the army's I'm doing but I'm converting them into my own 11th legion
    And I was lucky I was able to find free files that are really close to the official ones for literally everything I need except for the three named characters the actual grandmaster grandmaster voltas and the leader of the purifiers the one with the demon sword but I have a proxy for all three of them and those three are my Primark unit so far I just have a strike squad and a Terminator squad and a castellan Crowe proxy but when my brother gets more resin I'm going to have him print out more so I can get closer to my thousand point army I just haven't decided if I'm going to do a librarian tech marine or apothecary

    Grey Knights do lend themselves to 3d printing, since each one is a Big Damn Hero there's a good justification to use non GW armour bodies as Artficer armour base, bedecked with third party weapons and bits.
    But if you're doing a series on which faction is best to 3d print.... Orks. Orks iz best. End of. Series over. Done. You're welcome. Where's me consultancy cheque?
