Made this helmet awhile back using the files from Galactic Armory, and used a mish-mash of different methods from all sorts of YouTube videos to paint and texture it. I used clear plastic sheets with red mirrored window tint for the lenses. I bought a teeny red LED and made a little socket for it in blender to hold it in place for the light.

It’s been finished for a while, but I might go back and add a few stencils, though overall I’m very happy with how it came out!

Really I moreover assembled and painted him since he was 3d printed, but I’m super happy with how he came out!
I shoved a led strip inside his eye funnel and drilled some holes out the back to attach it to a powerpack

I 3d printed him on a Bambu p2s using these files from Cerb on thingiverse:

(Yes I KNOW his main shell is upside down in some photos because that grey bolt should be on his top left and the apature symbol should be on the bottom eye lense but COUNTERPOINT: I didn’t realize I was gluing the shell upside down until it was too late)

I’m somewhat new to painting Warhammer, the JPI’s were my first painted models since my introductory Infernus marines, then the ballistus dreadnought was painted after. I have no clue on where to find transfers, but since it seems having to freehand at least a few FT symbols is almost a right of passage here, I’ll probably go back on these guys and do that.

Any painting advice for me going forward? Also if there are any good kits for kitbashing parts for Flesh Tearers, then I would very much appreciate any advice for that, because I find that stuff very fun to do. (There’s an Iron hands marine with JPI’s bc I let my Dad try his hand at painting one)
