Dark Mechanicus project - Something binary this way comes...

[Kronus Stormbringer]

Stunning chaos knight there mate

[Chiv]

oooo I want one...nice work Loove everything int his thread.

[GrandMagnus]

*Screaming like a little girl* Aw man, that looks badass. There are so many great chaos threads that I think my loyalty to the Empire is diminishing

Told you we'll have you.

Hey, you will have me as soon as GW comes out with a decent Chaos marines kit, the current one is definetly not persuasive.

[Grimm.]

Right that's it, you win the internetz

[GuitaRasmus]

Thanks a lot, guys! I'm only adding one Knight, I like to make unique miniatures and would probably go mad if I had to do 5. Luckily I play in local gaming club (the biggest in the country actually) where most people are pretty cool about that kind of stuff? "Oh, you've made a Chaos Knight? Go on and use it." If they don't want to play against it, I'll just pass up the game or not use it.

 

The leg was very easy, actually, no piston work needed. The back leg I haven't done anything to - the leg on the droppod base (only temporary, I just found something the right height in the bitz box) was cut at the knee joint and glued in the right position, as was the hip joint. The only other thing I changed about the legs was to turn the feet slightly outward - I think this makes a big difference, the way it is standard seems a little stiff to me.

 

The arrows were just freehand drawn onto plastic card and cut out - no big secrets there.

 

The spikes on the carapace will have some sculpting done, to make it look like they've grown/burst through the armour. They're from the mutalith chaos fantasy monster.

[thamier]

very nice! soooo wish i could afford a knight too.

looking forward to seeing it painted up

[Khalus]

Awesome and inspiring models! True and maddening creations of the Dark Mechanicum!

 

What would put the icing on this delicious thread would be some lore accompanying each finished unit.. :)

[nurglez]

wow, this makes me want a knight now (though I'm still resisting the splurge).

[Forté]

You know you want to

[nurglez]

Of course I want to. But I'm resisting. For now at least :D

[The Nephilim]

Dear sweet blood of the innocents! That Chaos Knight is pure win.

[RazakelXIII]

Wasn't sold before, definitely am now - I need a Knight. Looks fething awesome, man.

[empty choke]

HOLY CHRIST CAKES.

[Fengir Ironfist]

Very very VERY cool!

 

I like all of your creations... it´s a true inspiration!

 

Can you tell us where the claw is from?

[GuitaRasmus]

Thanks a lot guys!

 

@ fengir: what claw are you referring to?

 

Anyway, I wanted to keep the pace, so fresh from the Dark Forge - my Maulerfiend, now with paint!

 

 

 

 

Yes, I know he's missing a right hand weapon, but I haven't come up with something just right yet, and I'm in the painting zone, so to speak, so I make sure I keep up the steam by moving on. :)

[Combat_Vet]

Sometimes a "like" button isn't enough. Beautiful work. Truly awe inspiring.

[ElDuderino]

Omg, I didn't think I could like that model more, but the paintjob really made it pop! I love the mandibles, I guess those are tyranid bits too?

[Kriegsmacht]

Love the paintjob especially the glowing runes and eyes. My eyes always seem to draw to them right away.

 

Can't wait to see what weapon it'll be wielding in the fight against the Empire :D

[Forté]

Sometimes a "like" button isn't enough. Beautiful work. Truly awe inspiring.

Hell yes. One like...pah! This deserves way more...but I just can't :cry:

[Kronus Stormbringer]

stunning. those runes really make it pop

[Forté]

Not seen anyone else ask but how are you doing those runes and green OSL?

[sockwithaticket]

Completely nightmarish, excellent job.

[GuitaRasmus]

Thanks a lot - I'm really pleased with the way the army is turning out. I would have liked them to be more unique in their colour scheme, but after 8 months of pondering, I figured I had to decide on something, and I think the Iron Warriors them suits them very nicely. :)

 

Not seen anyone else ask but how are you doing those runes and green OSL?

 

It's very easy actually. :)

 

1) Small airbrushed dot of Moot Green

2) Paint rune with mix of moot green and white

3) Highlight rune with white.
 

[NightHunters]

The glowing runes.

Outstanding.

Next.

And without an airbrush? Stipple or glaze the first bit maybe.
