That knight is amazing!!! I really like the fluff for it too, it's a nice idea. Great work Noctus, and have got to love a fellow WB army ;)

Love the knight mate! Really looking forward to seeing it painted up :) Been stalking your thread since I saw the early stages to see it when it was fully built haha!

Oh, sorry mate, didn't realise they did that. They do it on the UK GW it looks like: www.games-workshop.com/en-GB/Imperial-Knights-Transfer-Sheet

I am getting an Imperial Knight with designs on turning it to Chaos so won't be needing any of the Decal Sheets that came with it. PM me mate if you still need it :)

That's alright :) Yeah, definitely. It's going to be my summer project so will be starting soon.

Thanks Clone, your own knight was a great inspiration so the encouragement is most welcome. I'll definitely get that etch then, and looks like it'll be the crater I pick too :)

Thanks for the mock up Hendrik :) It's funny, that was kind of how I was imagining it really. I plan to use the Mechanicus head like in that picture but shave it down similarly to how Clone did it in his ETL thread (had that idea for a long time and his work gave me a visual of how cool it looked). Two sets of horns, one where you put it and another set like tusks coming from where the mask cuts in at the jaw. Looking at Forge Worlds brass etch at the moment, think it could replace the green stuffing you suggested, or if not, can add some awesome details. Then plan to cover the knight in spikes and chains and a few other Chaos-y bits before painting it like my Scions/Veterans and Word Bearers and covering it in painted script like my tanks. As for the base, I am either thinking of using one of the Quake Cannon Craters (if it will fit), I'll have his foot in the middle and some dead stuff so it looks like he just stomped everything or use the big, broken aquila from that Imperium Terrain kit with the knights leg bent at the knee, stepping on it. Unsure which to go for at the moment though. How does all that sound though? Hopefully that is enough of a description to give you a good picture of it. Thanks Guys, I think I am going to have to get one, they are so cool and from all this feedback, it sounds like they will do great too. I almost knee-jerked into it myself until I saw that it could not ally with chaos which is my main army, and talk of a future Daemon Knight release made me hesitant. But now anyone can take it, it seems unlikely that will be released now so I am going to go for it! ;D *I'll definitely have to find that tutorial then as I wanted mine bent but thought it was part of the kit to do that as so many people had.

Thanks Immersturm :) That makes a lot of sense. To be honest, the converting is what is really drawing me to it - getting a bit hung up on how to do the base at the moment though. I have too many ideas. Not really sure how to make them work though. And sorry for posting in the wrong thread, not sure who moved it but thanks for sorting it. I guess it moving from IG means I can open it up to those CSM players who use it too as I will want to have it in both armies.

Basically, I really want one. Seen some awesome chaos knight conversions and I am now sold - even found a site that sells it for £63. All that is stopping me getting it at the moment is lack of ideas of how to convert it (I want a plan first so I can enter/finish the ETL with it) but I'm working on that - although suggestions are welcome, and that I don't really know how it will fit into my army. So what I would like to know is how many of you have used a knight before, alongside your guard and how do you do it? Which version is better? What does it work well alongside? How does it perform? Can post what I have if it helps, and the plans I have so far for conversions, thanks for any feedback, it will be greatly appreciated and will help me decide whether to buy it.
