Daemon2027 Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 He looks great! And your idea of the inverted paw with a flame on top sounds really good. But seriously, what kind of dogs and cats do you guys have over our border that you can 'easily mistake' a wolf's claw for that of a cat??? All those Grimm fairy tales thought me Germany is full of monsters! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andvarr A Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Excellent work so far, K-Sci! He fits right in with the Eternal Hunt. Did you just use the same armor technique, just upscaled? The brass especially looks great at this bigger size. Great? It looks epic! He looks great! And your idea of the inverted paw with a flame on top sounds really good. But seriously, what kind of dogs and cats do you guys have over our border that you can 'easily mistake' a wolf's claw for that of a cat??? Things that lurk in the shadows and are just out of sight He looks great! And your idea of the inverted paw with a flame on top sounds really good.

KrautScientist Posted August 5, 2015 Author Share Posted August 5, 2015 Thanks a lot, people! :) @ Flint: Actually, the red recipe is rather different from the one I use for my World Eaters, since quite a few paints required for the latter one rely on paints that are no longer readily available, and I didn't want the risk of running out of paint halfway through the paintjob -- it would also have been difficult to upscale the approach, since it's based on my special brand of tricking and scamping ;) The result will be a paintjob that will look different from the rest of the army to some degree. But I felt that having the Knight look as good as possible was really the paramount concern here. @ Auggie: Why, that would be the Northern-German Great Wolfcat or Wolfskatze, of course. Not that I expected you to be familiar with our complex fauna... ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

recon0321 Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 I apologize if this has been answered but where did you get the pilot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrautScientist Posted August 5, 2015 Author Share Posted August 5, 2015 @ Auggie: ARGH! My eyes! Take it away! It burrrnnnsss ussss! @ recon0321: The pilot was converted from - off the top of my head - the pilot chair from the Space Marine Landspeeder some kneeling legs from the Dreamforge Games Eisenkern Stormtroopers a torso from the Cadian command squad arms spliced together from Cadian and Tempestus Scion bitz a chaos icon from the WFB Marauder Horsemen and a particularly wonderful kit from the Forgeworld Legion Praetors I think that covers it. Hope this helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrautScientist Posted August 8, 2015 Author Share Posted August 8, 2015 @ recon0321: Haha, yeah, I guess things can get out of control rather quickly whenever I start kitbashing ;) That said, in hindsight I think that there might be a couple of slightly less complicated recipes for ending up with a fairly similar pilot (and I would maybe use a Tempestus Scion breastplate if I were to build the Baron again). So here's another small update: I've been working on the Knight's belly and groin armour which is probably one of my favourite parts of the conversion: http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2015/8/8/734860-Chaos%20Knight%2C%20Conversion%2C%20Daemon%20Knight%2C%20Harrowthorne%2C%20Imperial%20Knight.jpg http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2015/8/8/734861-Chaos%20Knight%2C%20Conversion%2C%20Daemon%20Knight%2C%20Harrowthorne%2C%20Imperial%20Knight.JPG The teeth will need some additional highlighting, but I am already pretty pleased with how this area recalls the World Eaters legion badge! I am currently working on the Knight's pauldrons, btw.

Montuhotep Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Well, DAMN. Quick question - what are you going to do with the other HS mount ? Are you going to put a version of the shield on there or something different? If a shield, perhaps abattered, dented, damaged one with some vestiges of a House heraldry on it?

KrautScientist Posted August 8, 2015 Author Share Posted August 8, 2015 Cheers, guys! :) @ Paladin7221: Hey mate, long time no see! As for the shield, I already have a shield prepared: I added a brass FW World Eaters icon to the Knight's standard heraldic plate, so it will end up displaying the legion's heraldry instead of that of the pilot's house. His backstory is that he basically abandoned his past after his house had been wiped out by loyalists, becoming a honorary member of the XII legion.

Biohazard Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 The chest and belly plate are looking awesome mate. Great work. My only worry is they draw the eye away from the Knights face slightly. Adding the helmet as I know you're going to will probably help with that though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daemon2027 Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Love the groin and chest. Really nice work. Agree with biohazard attention is join but once the top armour and face plate is done it will all hopefully come together.

KrautScientist Posted August 9, 2015 Author Share Posted August 9, 2015 Cheers for the feedback, guys! :) @ OSS: That does sound promising -- any additional info on what it is precisely that I've tipped you over into...? I realise that this incremental style of updating might not be totally spectacular, but I've never tackled a model of this size and complexity before, so bear with me, alright? So here's what I've managed to do this weekend: http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2015/8/9/735130-Chaos%20Knight%2C%20Conversion%2C%20Daemon%20Knight%2C%20Harrowthorne%2C%20Imperial%20Knight.JPG http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2015/8/9/735131-Chaos%20Knight%2C%20Conversion%2C%20Daemon%20Knight%2C%20Harrowthorne%2C%20Imperial%20Knight.JPG http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2015/8/9/735133-Chaos%20Knight%2C%20Conversion%2C%20Daemon%20Knight%2C%20Harrowthorne%2C%20Imperial%20Knight.JPG The pauldrons actually took a fair bit of work to come together. And while they are not quite finished yet, they are definitely getting there. Left pauldron with icon of Khorne and various totems and trophies: http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2015/8/9/735134-Chaos%20Knight%2C%20Conversion%2C%20Daemon%20Knight%2C%20Harrowthorne%2C%20Imperial%20Knight.JPG Right pauldron with legion badge, legion number and company number: http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2015/8/9/735132-Chaos%20Knight%2C%20Conversion%2C%20Daemon%20Knight%2C%20Harrowthorne%2C%20Imperial%20Knight.JPG And finally, the mostly finished facemask: http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2015/8/9/735129-Chaos%20Knight%2C%20Conversion%2C%20Daemon%20Knight%2C%20Harrowthorne%2C%20Imperial%20Knight.JPG As always, let me know what you think! :) disease, Biohazard, Aasfresser and 2 others 5 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augustus b'Raass Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Looks great, Kraut. Your incremental updates just show your love for detail. Speaking of which? Are those transfers on the right pauldron, or did you freehand it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daemon2027 Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 The adding of the face plate looks great and the pouldorns look amazing so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrautScientist Posted August 9, 2015 Author Share Posted August 9, 2015 Cheers, mate! "Freehands", though? Hahahaha! I couldn't "freehand" my way out of a wet cardboard box if my life depended on it -- talk about a mixed metaphor ;) Anyway, no, they are decals -- although getting that WE legion badge to conform to the Knight's pauldron was quite an endeavour in and of itself!

I think he's hiding a skill. Part of me wants to see the top of the carapace like marble or cracked volcanic earth, framed by that amazing brass. But part of me wants to see it all uniformed up and done. But it's your gig Kraut, and your trainset. So what you decide to do will no doubt be epic. That face mask is just the bomb-diggidy, and redresses the balance of the gutplate. Danny you Krausci Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flint13 Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 I like the incremental style of updates, K-Sci. It lets you highlight pretty neat little details (like those sweet trophies on the left pauldron) in a way you wouldn't be able to if you just photo dumped everything on the Knight's completion. The tusked warhelm is still my favs. It just feels so right for a Khornate knight :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teetengee Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Part of me wishes you had kept a dark scheme for the upper armour plates. However, I am excited with how this guy is coming along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
