Eberious Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Certainly is a lot of armour here, looking good. The Honour guard, are they FW? not familiar with those models. Quick trip to FW site. Are they the Emperors Children Phoenix terminators? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Reinhard Posted March 30, 2014 Author Share Posted March 30, 2014 Yes and yes. They are indeed. As I use FW tartaros armor to represent all my "artificer armor" I chose the EC phoenix termies because they're most ornate tartartor models availble. The HG has been put on hold temporarily as I contemplate a bit more what to do with them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Reinhard Posted March 31, 2014 Author Share Posted March 31, 2014 Another WIP of Mr. Knight As you can see, he's still very much a work in progress, though I like how he's coming along overall. Particularly happy with how the eyes behind the mask turned out, though it was a bit hard to capture on image. Also, good lord all those misses are very unflattering up close. Been second guessing my choice of colour scheme, the very vanilla House Terryn, quite a lot since seeing all the amazing black and white themes people on the forum have been churning out. What's more I've been going with the colors I have on hand, which are not quite the right tone, but I think it will feel alright in the end.

greggles Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Looks good! I am really loving all these knight models . Don't worry about misses/brushmarks/etc. These are things you only ever see in photos. I always force myself to place the model on the table and look at it as I'd play it. (while working on it), helps curb the over attention to detail . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Mattias Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Yeah, me too, otherwise I'd have gone mad already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Reinhard Posted April 1, 2014 Author Share Posted April 1, 2014 EDIT: Ah er. nevermind the original purpose of this post. If someone's who's gotten an imperial knight but didn't go for House Terryn is interested in perhaps trading a few transfers, I'm still interested. Send me a PM.

Eberious Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Was going to suggest ebay, searched one for you and someone is selling one at £29.99, !!!!!!!!!, and stating that they are LTD release? http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_trksid=p2050601.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.H0.Ximperial+knight+transfer+sheet&_nkw=imperial+knight+transfer+sheet&_sacat=0&_from=R40 Are they limited? the one listed does appear to be different to mine now that I check but that still crazy !

Marshal Reinhard Posted April 1, 2014 Author Share Posted April 1, 2014 Those prices are complete and utter ripoffs. That same transfer sheet (A4) sized is available for £12.00 from GW themselves: http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/productDetail.jsp?catId=cat1310002a&prodId=prod2380153a It's a different sheet from what is included in the Knight Box however, so while It has a lot lovely transfers, not the ones I'm after.

Marshal Reinhard Posted April 2, 2014 Author Share Posted April 2, 2014 Slowly trotting along: Since I've started adding transfers one might think that I am nearing completion, but that would be assuming I work under logic. No, still lots left do here, not least of all a fitting base, but also other work you'd normally do before putting on transfers. I feel a bit more confident about the tone of the colors now, though that's probably hard to make out since I seem to keep on insisting taking my WIP shots under the most apalling of lighting conditions. I'm currently wondering what kind of motif to go on the bone colored pauldron and knee cap. They usually look to match each other. I also wanted to incorporate a Templar cross somewhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthanor Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 So.. wouldn't a templar cross be the answer then? Full cross on the knee, half cross on the shoulders (I think shoulders are always half-iconography?). Or do you want something fancier than that?

Marshal Reinhard Posted April 4, 2014 Author Share Posted April 4, 2014 Starting to look fairly accomplished now Mostly feel like I've got highlights, some additional work on the base as well as some detail work here and there. Tried upping the lighting a bit to get a better pic, not sure it accomplished much more beyond producting a vicious glare from the shield decal In the end he turned out to be rather low on templar crosses, only one cross, on the knight's banner that's detailing his personal honours.. and that's gotten mud all over it. Overall feel pretty happy with how he's turned out. Absolute blast of a kit to work with and can't wait to start another. Arhanor: That's actually a pretty awesome sounding idea that I may just employ in the future... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthanor Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 That is a beautiful, ornate knight! Well done brother! And being light on templar crosses is not as bad as it may seem on this forum. Not every knight will have distinguished himself enough to receive the honor (yet). If you paint another one in the same house color, maybe that one has served longer and has more prominent BT imagery, then you can have a "knight and squire" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zyth23 Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 I don't like the Terryn Scheme. (abit too Ultramarines-looking scheme for me) But your work is awesome anyway. Really nice knight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mytimeprez Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Your work with your Crusade is inspiring and you have some really beautiful models. I can't wait to see more, keep up the great work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Reinhard Posted April 12, 2014 Author Share Posted April 12, 2014 Only a minor update, again on the Knight front (Which i guess is technically not part of the crusade, but I guess i can post here anyway?) The Knight has gotten a friend. Promptly put him together yesterday, with the exception of the armor platings, which like last time are only dryfitted at this stage. In the end it looks I was a bit too zealous last night when putting him together, as any thoughts of possibly reposing the legs were completely forgotten. Ah well, next time right? I only now realize that from this angle their posses look a bit too similiar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshal Reinhard Posted April 13, 2014 Author Share Posted April 13, 2014 Seems ETL starts on may 1st. That's a fairly long time to restrain my painting itch... I can probably solve it somehow though.... That said, are we still our own forum for this? Or are we now cooperating with other 'vanilla' marines?

Marshal_Roujakis Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Seems ETL starts on may 1st. That's a fairly long time to restrain my painting itch... I can probably solve it somehow though.... That said, are we still our own forum for this? Or are we now cooperating with other 'vanilla' marines? From what Honda has gathered from the good Captain, we're pretty much with the Vanilla boat... :( But if our Forum leads and wins... which might be the case... then we get our picture on the banner :) A good cure are either Knights, exclusive HH stuff (which I know you have heaps of) and Inquisitorial Allies I think ETL this year might go by the Codex... i.e. if your Codex has it, or your Codex allows it, then you can paint it... So stuff that belongs to other Codex or stuff that we don't exclusively have the ability to have, such as Imperial Knights or Inquisitorial Allies, will have their own entry.... but that's what me thinks, I could be totally wrong...

Marshal Reinhard Posted May 1, 2014 Author Share Posted May 1, 2014 Finally started panting knight number two. Pretty much done the skeleton so I figured I'd take a picture, seeing as it's probablly going to be the only where he's without his helmet. Feels kinda underwelming at the start but i recall so did the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
