Knight Reference Thread: Links to Knight Conversions

[Nusquam]

Oh hey, I'm semi-famous! haha great thread

[miteyheroes]

Glad you like the thread. I spend way too much time looking a Knight conversions... And I'm a librarian, so my need to organise and spread information is strong!

[miteyheroes]

More knights added to the big list of conversions! It's Chaos/Dark Mechanicum time:

• GW Metro Centre on Facebook - a bright pink Slaaneshi knight. I love the weapon-tail, just like old Epic Chaos Titans!
• Andy at GW Oxford on Facebook - two corroded and evil Dark Mechanicus knights. One with a Forgeworld Renegade Psyker instead of a head, another with a Blight Drone head and lots of tentacles!
• Unknown - a walking Lord of Skulls using Imperial Knight legs.

Nice, I was wondering how long it'd take someone to do that. Looks better than I thought it would.

Oh my gods I hate it when the formatting breaks... Hopefully it's working now! Will check the links later, but the layout looks vaguely right.

Has anyone seen any conversions making the GW Knight into a Lucius Pattern? I have two Warhounds and soon a Reaver in Lucius pattern and would prefer the knights to match, but havent seen anything to date.

While I seen any posted, its a conversion I've been pondering. As the Knight's armor is modular, it shouldn't be too difficult the whip up a set of "squared" armor to swap for the normal "rounded" set. I'll post some pics if I do the conversion.

So... speculation to why GW didn't make Chaos Knights?

I guess they reasoned chaos players will just kitbash. Not making knights battle-brothers was a bit of a let down but hey...could be worse.

[jeffersonian000]

Well, seems like GW knew Chaos would legally be able to take Imperial Knight detachments in 7th when they released the a knight in 6th, but seriously, we are going to see Chaos specific Knight kits within the next year. They'll just add a bits sprue and charge more for the kit. : p

I did a super-simple job on making a pilot, letting shadows do half the work on the interior for me http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/293094-knights-of-house-cydonia-and-accompanying-taghmata-omnissiah/ I'll make better pics of my next one to show just how simple this piece actually is. Also note that i put in a magnetized brazier, inspired by the logo artwork just inside the codex title page as a simple way to denote the Seneschal.

thought i'd add my defiler/knight as well. needs repairs and plan on making more. i don't mind the thin aesthetics, makes it look more able to defend itself in combat, movement more graceful or what not.

also medium sized transformers can make good legs for knight sized mecha. here is my slaaneshi inspired knight. made out of a decepticon.
