Sing Praise to the God of All Machines Is it cool that i post this here? I noticed another Knight thread and I wanted to show this off to you. No problem if you agree that because this has nothing to do with marines this shouldn't be here. Outside of Forge World releases I can't remember being this excited about a kit in a long time. I know the kit has its detractors, but I think this thing is a must buy for any collector of 40K. When I picked up the kit I had the nostalgic thrill of being a child again picking a toy for Christmas. The frame is divided into three parts and assembly was straight forward (although I won't be glueing the rungs on the top carapace until after the airbrush stage). Instead of airbrushing the majority of the miniature and calling it a day I wanted to concentrate on creating the history of this particular knight. You can do this with a cool bit of story that you can tell your friends before you play with the model, but you can also represent the characters back history visually. I wanted this to feel like an old Ford Fiesta (which I drive...piece of :cuss that it is) not a BMW I8. I wanted this to feel second hand, that it's walked thousands of miles on a hundred different worlds. I wanted you to feel like when the Knight breaks down or runs low of fuel the pilot leap out, swears at it and kick it into functionality. What are you guys doing with your knights? I run through the stages of painting on the blog and I have a load more pictures. Let the Bell Toll Roll!

Honda Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 You most certainly can post it here. That is seven kinds of awesome. Well done. I prefer the second head over the first, but in either case you did a wonderful job. Bravo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gillyfish Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 I really like the way you've done the red shading on the armour. That mirrors what I want to when I get one. It looks nice and old, like there are multiple layers of lacquer there. Can I ask how you did it? Was it straightforward blending? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marshal seanisi Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Wow! amazing and very inspiring! I agree with Honda, the second head over the one without the faceplate. I have one to build and paint so hopefully I can get it to look half as good as yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
