The right one looks so hyper realistic! Good job! Keep on keeping on!

Turns out the one on the right is him in his day to day work uniform, posing for a reference picture.

Certainty of death. Small chance of success and a free shovel? Sign me tf up.

Don't forget all the xenos and heretics you can murder!

[–]JornWS 22 points23 points  (1 child)

Murder? Strange way of saying "Put out of their misery"

[–]Derezirection 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Good point what was I thinking. It's not murder if they're meant to die horrible painful deaths via my shovel splitting their skulls in two. If anything I'm doing them a favor, they could be getting shot to death by our laser pointers, which would take ages.

[–]ChurchArsonist 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Look at Mr. Fancy Pants with his shovel? In the old guard we dug our holes with our bayonets, bare hands, and helmets of fallen comrades when available. Spoiler: They're always available.

[–]NorthKoreanEscapee 3 points4 points  (1 child)

Are these both 3d models or is the right a printed and painted figure? Either way amazing work but just cutious

Would you willing to upload it somewhere? I believe cult3d and myminifactory allow you to charge some momey for it if you want to go that route

Would be epic to have a 50cm model

[–]Havok038 2 points3 points  (1 child)

In-universe Question: Is it more frowned upon in Krieger society to be alive that long after many battles?

[–]Heavenfall 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't think so, they just don't really expect to live very long. As long as you're overzealously pursuing combat and winning, it's all good. If you're alive after a loss, that's much worse.

Promotion to lower ranks of officers is very much based on who's left alive. They wouldn't do that if being alive was a bad thing.

[–]CommercialDevice4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

GAD DAMN SON THAT SHIT CHECKS OUT.

[–]Dyr7734 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This looks sick, although a lot more simple even the left model is nice. It’s clean and got all the important elements of the Marshal (that the correct rank? IDK) down spot on. Defo one of the cooler DK units.

I usually prefer modelling props and environments but god damn this makes me wanna get good at doing characters.

[–]Avion4017 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If you don't love me at my- Then you don't deserve me at my-

[–]Potato_Muncher -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Damn- that looks amazing, OP.

One thing that always gets me about 40K, is that many of the IG don't look like they're in the year 40,000. What I mean is a lack of modernized lights, optics, armor, etc. Sure, their weaponry and transportation says otherwise, but the gear they hump is still out of the 1800/1900's.

I mean, I understand why that's the case, but it just irks me a bit. I just think units like DKoK can look gnarly with some helmet lights and other gucci shit, ya know?

[–][deleted] -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Weird thought. Tweak the gear a little, make it look more "slapstick" and old, and the death Corp would fit perfectly into the metro universe. Either that or I'm just crazy. Maybe both. Both is good.

[–]FalconRelevant -5 points-4 points  (3 children)

While this is certainly good work, I have to point out that lore wise the Death Korps of Krieg don't really have medals or honours unlike the other regiments, because bravery is supposed to be commonplace and is expected.

Edit: Okay seems like the officers can have a few medals.

[–]DiscEva 9 points10 points  (1 child)

I mean, the forge world krieg commander model literally has a bunch of medals and honours on him.

[–]FalconRelevant -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Must be the Commissar.

[–]DoUrDooty 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's exactly not true. Their lore literally states that commanders are ostentatious to mark them out.

But the Departmento Munitorium's regulations governing the equipment of Imperial Guard regiments do require that officer's distinguish themselves from the rank and file as figures of inspiration and authority on the battlefield. Hence, the Colonel's uniform is of superior material and design, individually tailored for him.

[...]

His helmet is a standard issue Mk IX with additional decoration added as befits an officer's rank.

[..]

...This officer's gorget is actually is actually a very small refractor field generator... the generators are often disguised as jewellery and decoration."

- Imperial Armor Vol. 6 The Siege of Vraks Part Two, page 44

They also have honors for ordinary soldiers too, although it is indeed discouraged and rejected at large, it would seem.

"Medallion CrimsonThe Medallion Crimson is awarded to men who have suffered horrific wounds and have not lost their faith in the Emperor or their will to fight on."

- Imperial Armor Vol. 5 The Siege of Vraks, page 132

If we're being really technical, it's awards for "individual bravery" that are rejected, but then again it could be a disconnect between rules and lore.

Excellent job mate, is this for a particular project or just a project in itself?

[–]DelCidKidv 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I've been wanting to get into 3d modeling, how did you learn? And what program do you use?

[–]Dyr7734 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re looking to get into 3D try Blender. It’s free and really good, half my lecturers prefer it to what we actually use in the course. Grab a maybe 40 bucks beginner demo video course and you’ll be set. That or there’s plenty of tutorials to follow out there, there’s a well known blender doughnut tutorial a lot of people start with.

Oh my god, it was already impressive but knowing this isn't just a static sculpt is even more mindblowing.

You must already be a professional 3D artist, right? The people in this thread saying you could get hired on Darktide are probably right. This is TOP quality. Absolutely incredible work.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (2 children)

this is of the absolute highest quality, I think if you were to send them your portfolio you might be in for a shot. they always need character designers, Fatshark DLC is basically entirely focused on it if vermintide were to be a good measure.

[–]tapanrai[S] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

(I am not a Fatshark recruiter, this was just a recommendation from someone close to the industry) that should be good, perhaps if you have one or 2 more 40k character models as well as this amazing example you would have a good chance to be hired in a flash. but even with this alone you stand a pretty solid chance.
