JeffTibbetts Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Oh wow. Surprising how much difference an all-red carapace does. Ties it all together quite nicely. Wow, man. Stellar work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrautScientist Posted August 19, 2015 Author Share Posted August 19, 2015 Cheers for the feedback, guys! :) @ Thousand Eyes: That model in the corner is the "Chibi-Knight", a roughly epic-scale version of my Chaos Knight which I am pretty certain has been featured on this thread before, although I have updated it with an additional bit or two since then: http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2015/8/19/737650-Chaos%20Knight%2C%20Conversion%2C%20Daemon%20Knight%2C%20Epic.%20Epic%2040k%2C%20Harrowthorne%2C%20Imperial%20Knight.JPG It's been a terrible week so far, so not much progress and some only slightly better pictures of the model: http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2015/8/19/737646-Chaos%20Knight%2C%20Conversion%2C%20Daemon%20Knight%2C%20Harrowthorne%2C%20Imperial%20Knight.jpg http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2015/8/19/737647-Chaos%20Knight%2C%20Conversion%2C%20Daemon%20Knight%2C%20Harrowthorne%2C%20Imperial%20Knight.jpg http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2015/8/19/737648-Chaos%20Knight%2C%20Conversion%2C%20Daemon%20Knight%2C%20Harrowthorne%2C%20Imperial%20Knight.JPG I did have a bit of fun finishing the interior of the top hatch, though: http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2015/8/19/737649-Chaos%20Knight%2C%20Conversion%2C%20Daemon%20Knight%2C%20Harrowthorne%2C%20Imperial%20Knight.JPG As always, let me know what you think! :) paulJam, Midnightmare, TheHyperion and 2 others 5 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thousand Eyes Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 I am glad I asked as everyone seems to like the little guy :) (sorry for missing/forgetting it earlier on) Liking the new pictures and I am guessing the things surrounding the knight are hints towards what is going to be on his base?

Andvarr A Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Yeah the little guy is some sort of informal mascot I think. Plus if Kraut is as sneaky with his surprises as in the past, I think we'll all be pleasently surprised with his basing effort on the knight ...knigitt...argh...python!

Dantay VI Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Regarding the decals, you raise some excellent points about the middle one, yet while I do like it too, it has to be said that the one on the left could work as a play on the World Eaters' tradition of marking exceptional service with a bloody handprint. Some guys ovr on Dakka also came up with some pretty cool additional suggestions. This one posted by Dreadclaw69 was particularly awesome: Does anyone know whether these actually exist as decals, though? Or do they only appear in a Codex as artwork? If they are actualy decals and somebody has any of them left, especially the more hirsute looking wolf heads dead centre and in the bottom row, please give me a holler! If you can make your own decals, Carlson 793 has made a ecal sheet in te downloads section which has the bottom left wolf head on it in different sizes. Hope this helps. Oh and stunnng work as always :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mors Vincit Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Pretty sure those decals really did exist. They were in the oop space wolfs if i remember correctly. I may have some around still. I just have to look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dantay VI Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 I notice the pilot has a face plate resembling the Lancer, I wonder if we will see other pilots for Castigators and Acherons? I also wonder if they can be separated from their thrones, for Knights already built? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrautScientist Posted September 24, 2015 Author Share Posted September 24, 2015 Hey everyone, it's been a while, but then life has been less than optimal lately. Anyway, yesterday I felt the urgent need to do something creative, in order to distract myself from the somewhat gakky general situation, and I'll be leaving a small teaser for your edification ;) As always, let me know what you think! :) Teetengee, Raztalin, Dreadclaw and 3 others 6 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am very interested in what colours you are using for the skin tone, looks promising for my Brotherhood of Iron (Khornate Warband, WIP Thread incoming soon).

KrautScientist Posted September 25, 2015 Author Share Posted September 25, 2015 Cheers, guys! :) @ MadSkoll: Moin moin! ;) Regarding the skin recipe, it's really rather easy: Just use Rakarth Flesh over a black basecoat, then wash liberally with Badab Black (or, failing that, Army Painter Dark Tone or GW Nuln Oil), then go back and add highlights with the original Rakarth Flesh -- easy ;) As for the other comments, you guys are right of course: That's the base for my Chaos Knight. After spending quite some time thinking about what I wanted to put on the base, I realised that there are few things more emblematic of the crumbling Imperium of Man than a toppled and destroyed Astartes statue -- plus the piece from the Honoured Imperium kit was a pretty nice fit scale-wise! So here's the finished base: http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2015/9/25/746414-Chaos%20Knight%20base%2001.JPG http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2015/9/25/746415-Chaos%20Knight%20base%2002.JPG http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2015/9/25/746416-Chaos%20Knight%20base%2003.JPG And here's the - still unfinished (!) - Knight, provisionally placed on top of it: http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2015/9/25/746418-Baron%20Harrowthorne%2C%20Chaos%2C%20Chaos%20Knight%2C%20Chaos%20Space%20Marines%2C%20Daemon%20Knight.JPG http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2015/9/25/746420-Baron%20Harrowthorne%2C%20Chaos%2C%20Chaos%20Knight%2C%20Chaos%20Space%20Marines%2C%20Daemon%20Knight.JPG http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2015/9/25/746422-Baron%20Harrowthorne%2C%20Chaos%2C%20Chaos%20Knight%2C%20Chaos%20Space%20Marines%2C%20Daemon%20Knight.JPG http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2015/9/25/746423-Baron%20Harrowthorne%2C%20Chaos%2C%20Chaos%20Knight%2C%20Chaos%20Space%20Marines%2C%20Daemon%20Knight.JPG http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2015/9/25/746419-Baron%20Harrowthorne%2C%20Chaos%2C%20Chaos%20Knight%2C%20Chaos%20Space%20Marines%2C%20Daemon%20Knight.JPG http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2015/9/25/746413-Chaos%20Knight%20PIP%20100.JPG Even though there's still quite a bit of detail work left to do (I'd place the entire model at about two thirds done, roughly speaking), the pictures should still give you a reasonably good idea about what the finished piece will look like. http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2015/9/25/746417-Baron%20Harrowthorne%2C%20Chaos%2C%20Chaos%20Knight%2C%20Chaos%20Space%20Marines%2C%20Daemon%20Knight.JPG As always, let me know what you think! :) http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2015/9/25/746421-Baron%20Harrowthorne%2C%20Chaos%2C%20Chaos%20Knight%2C%20Chaos%20Space%20Marines%2C%20Daemon%20Knight.JPG Raztalin, Noserenda, slipknotzim and 7 others 10 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biohazard Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 The Knight is looking great buddy. I have to say the base looks a little monochromatic to me though. I'd try and maybe add a wash on the statue possibly a thin green wash to try and show moss maybe? Just something to draw attention to the different elements without being overpowering Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for sharing! I read somewhere, that you used a minimalistic approach and that sounded promising. My current recipe includes Calthan Brown, Rakarth Flesh, Pallid Wych Flesh and Reikland Fleshshade, but I am not happy with it. Yours looks more dead/blue, which contrasts nice with the red armour.
