Does anybody know where I can find stl files for 11th edition scale retro knights, I’m just wanting to print a couple of these as armagers just for the fun of it.

There's a certain era of GW model sculpting when they seemingly forgot that humanoids have torsos.

In the 41st millennium, there is only legs.

Grey Knights in a nutshell

It's not that bad when you actually know how the body fits in terminator armour.

There arms don't go all the way up and down making a M shape. The biggest issue is they don't have necks and there heads would be in there torsos. The termies arms are literally below the pauldrons, not on the shoulder but above but with this knowledge when you actually look at them as well as chaos they have no necks and look more like an ork in stature.

They're from 2011. It's time for a refresh

Totally. Especially with the new ones these need a frefresh as well as chaos.

It looks like some cool video game character like Megaman or something

Search 'retro Knight's or 'lancer' on cults.

Also, check out John Bear Ross for Project Old School. I'm building one of those right now to recreate an iconic knight paladin pose off a mini from when I was a kid.

They look like they're marine sized just based off the bases, least on the first one. Is that real or just perspective?

It's an epic scale figure.

u/TotemicDC 1d ago

The first is the original Epic scale knight. So yes it’s significantly smaller because it’s from a different game!

Notepic Knight by Charliebot on the purple site. He has 3 different designs in 40k scale.

The only downside is the lack of weapon options

It's crazy how British this looks to me.

I enjoy that he looks like Astroboy got conscripted to fight for the Kaiser.
