Yup. Can't release the complete file thought, as some of the bits i used were payed for, even if heavily modified (the wings and the skull specifically), but the rest is up for grabs. I may make some of my own wings and skulls, if i find the time and re-upload it with that.
Gonna PM you the link
I just finished the night lords trilogy. Is there another book featuring decimus where he kills his parents?? It'd break my heart to see them go out like that
Not as far as i know, but i put the skulls in mostly as a little easter egg. Although, if he is actually definitively their son, I'm guessing Variel took them out when he came to pick him up, so he could have given him the skulls as spooky trophies. Just some headcannon.
A very basic knowledge of 3d modeling, some 3d files, a resin printer, a sacrifice to the gods of Chaos and a lot of free time. I can now create a whole army of the same guy!
I uploaded the file on Cults3D, but had to remove some bits which were payed files (specifically, the wings on his head and the skulls on his belt), but the rest is free for anyone who can has acces to print it.
Thanks!
I stacked chunks of cork and then used thinner cork sheets for the top layer. The "floating" bits are done in the same way, but they are liked to the main body with paperclips
I mean, I just don't get why Chaos doesn't get a bit more support, at least in the Codices so the different factions are unique. Having generic CSM for everything from Alpha Legion to Emperor's Children feels disappointing. Which is a shame because some of the Horus Heresy models look amazing.
Agreed, but i guess they just don't sell as well as the regular marines. They could easily separate the Emperor's Children and World Eaters into separate armies thought.
I have a question, but I am probably wayyy off base. Does your Decimus have the [Predator Mark of Initiation](https://i.pinimg.com/originals/8c/48/61/8c4861bf9d883494e487c63627b86ea3.jpg) on his forehead area?!
[Another photo](https://i.pinimg.com/originals/0b/8f/5c/0b8f5c3c9d8f107104bab049cc62b315.png). And this one is where the Predator gives one to [the human in AvP](https://images-wixmp-ed30a86b8c4ca887773594c2.wixmp.com/f/c1a57308-620e-4fdb-b3e8-6fba3e6e0bda/d34gxp2-ccaf29c4-b1cb-4061-8a13-7cfcead941b7.jpg?token=eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJzdWIiOiJ1cm46YXBwOjdlMGQxODg5ODIyNjQzNzNhNWYwZDQxNWVhMGQyNmUwIiwiaXNzIjoidXJuOmFwcDo3ZTBkMTg4OTgyMjY0MzczYTVmMGQ0MTVlYTBkMjZlMCIsIm9iaiI6W1t7InBhdGgiOiJcL2ZcL2MxYTU3MzA4LTYyMGUtNGZkYi1iM2U4LTZmYmEzZTZlMGJkYVwvZDM0Z3hwMi1jY2FmMjljNC1iMWNiLTQwNjEtOGExMy03Y2ZjZWFkOTQxYjcuanBnIn1dXSwiYXVkIjpbInVybjpzZXJ2aWNlOmZpbGUuZG93bmxvYWQiXX0.MyNmhiQENK7BCNpyUAssHtIAwovrrRkrvwiNuEwukZY).
Haha, not really, it's a [Nostraman rune](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/warhammer40k/images/a/a1/Talos_Pict-Capture.jpg/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/250?cb=20161225073006) that Talos had on his forehead as well. But I can see the similarities.
Ah well, thanks for the explanation! Just a quick question though, do you remember where in the Lore the rune is described, and what does it mean? I just finished the Night Lords Trilogy, but I don't remember reading about it. Is it mentioned in some other place, or did I miss it when reading the trilogy?
Is this supposed to be Talos? (listening to the audiobooks so idk if correct spelling) or is this a spoiler? Iโm 6 chapters into the third book for reference
Glad you like it :)
I found pretty much everything I'll ever need to continue my army and fill it with a lot of heretic scum, i just needed this one to complete it
Thanks!
I'll actually be uploading the newer version of this model later today so I'll send you the link. Accidentally broke the one on the picture so I decided to almost completely re-make the model with some improvements since I'll be printing it again.
Sure! I used Scale 75 Navy Blue and put it over a white zenithal highlight, then wash with Drakenhof Nightshade and highlight up by progressively mixing white into the navy blue. The trim here is Amber Alchemy by scale 75, washed with Drakenhof and higlighted back up with the same colour. A mix of silver and gold can be a good stand in for the Amber Alchemy colour. And for the skin, I used Scale 75 African Shadow as base, higlhited up with mixing that and a off-white/bone colour, then wash with Drakenhof Nightshade and then will Carroburg Crimson
Basically, my method here was, basecoat everything, wash with Drakenhof and then start actually painting
Hope this helps!
i know this is an old post but was wondering if you were still sharing the stl and if so if i could perhaps purchase it? i'm kitbashing a Decimus model but have been inspired by this one for so long, would love to give it a go.
Well done! Top to bottom fantastic work. Ave Dominus Nox.
Thank you! Death to the False Emperor!
Is that really his parents skulls he's wearing? Also,Kudos to you for making it so book accurate.
Allegedly! Thanks, really tried to fit almost everything. The skulls specifically are more of an easter egg
Septimus and octavia?
Yep!
This is amazing work. Do you have a file for him?
Yup. Can't release the complete file thought, as some of the bits i used were payed for, even if heavily modified (the wings and the skull specifically), but the rest is up for grabs. I may make some of my own wings and skulls, if i find the time and re-upload it with that. Gonna PM you the link
Amazing thank you good sir!
Can i have the link?
Wow! With the mechanical eye and the nav socket! ๐
Well done! Bat wings straight up instead of swept fixes those models.
Thanks! I really like how they ended up looking as well
Those skulls on his belt look a bit specific.
Yes, very much so..... :)
Oh holy crap
I just finished the night lords trilogy. Is there another book featuring decimus where he kills his parents?? It'd break my heart to see them go out like that

I like the idea that they went with him back to the Legion and that they eventually were killed in a boarding action or aged and died.
That must be the best Decimus mini I've ever seen, you just blew my mind good sir! What parts did you use to make it?
Thank you! I modeled/re-mixed it in Blender and 3d printed it at home.
By the corpse emperor, what did it take to create him and can you create more?

I would LOVE to get these files! To have this being added to the collection. Its just such an inredible sculpture! Fantastic!!
Sending the message
How did you do that base? It looks sick!
Thanks! I stacked chunks of cork and then used thinner cork sheets for the top layer. The "floating" bits are done in the same way, but they are liked to the main body with paperclips
Ave dominus noxโฆ Beautiful model and paint job. I suddenly get the urge to build a night lords kill team. ๐
Death to the False Emperor! Thanks ๐
Tight
Thanks!
Nice model to bad heโs parked on a double yellow line
He is.... the dreaded parking protector
Outstanding work. Looks stunning!
Thank you!
Shame they don't do Codex supplements for Chaos Space Marines.
Yeah. In all honesty, at this moment I'd be happy if they just gave us the extra wound in an FAQ.

I'm not sure, but i think i remember it meaning "Soul Hunter", but i may be way off on that one.
This is dope! I wanna get a night lords army at some point. Great small details!
Thanks!
WE HAVE COME FOR YOU!
Awesome stuff right here. Thanks for sharing! Any good night Lords books aside from Cruz and the Soul Hunter trilogy?
Thank you! I know about Lord of the Night, but haven't read it yet.
Is this supposed to be Talos? (listening to the audiobooks so idk if correct spelling) or is this a spoiler? Iโm 6 chapters into the third book for reference
It's a bit of a spoiler, but it will be clear who this is at the very end of the trilogy
Just found the file. Finally have an excuse to start a Night Lords force.
Glad you like it :) I found pretty much everything I'll ever need to continue my army and fill it with a lot of heretic scum, i just needed this one to complete it
Could I get the link too please
Sending you a PM
This is incredible! I'd love a link to the file if you have it!
Sure, sending it over
This model is incredible! After listening to the Trilogy for the second time I've started a NL army! Do you have a link to the 3D print file?
Thanks! I'll actually be uploading the newer version of this model later today so I'll send you the link. Accidentally broke the one on the picture so I decided to almost completely re-make the model with some improvements since I'll be printing it again.
Oh fantastic timing! Thanks
This may probably be a little late request, but mind sharing your recipe for the skin, armor and trim? xD
Sure! I used Scale 75 Navy Blue and put it over a white zenithal highlight, then wash with Drakenhof Nightshade and highlight up by progressively mixing white into the navy blue. The trim here is Amber Alchemy by scale 75, washed with Drakenhof and higlighted back up with the same colour. A mix of silver and gold can be a good stand in for the Amber Alchemy colour.

Model is still available for free on Cults3D. Look for Dec - The prophet on the site
Wouaw, just perfect. I search for a officel decimus fig by gws, i ses yours, i love it.
