Clone Posted June 9, 2014 Author Share Posted June 9, 2014 Oh man, this knight just looks all kinds of brutal, especially the way the horns look like some sort of twisted crown - I love it! Paintwise, I'd probably grime up the metal 'skeleton' just a tiny bit more by running some Agrax earthshade around the hydrolics. But other than that I'd say he was perfect! B) Thanks mate. I'll try washing the hydraulics. Maybe I could put some typhus corrosion on a few choice areas like the joints. I'm planning to do some light weathering on the feet with some Baneblade dust too. Still need to finish the rhino though Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/291889-the-ground-will-tremble-a-chaos-knight-wip-updated-17/page/3/#findComment-3713188 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ammonius Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 I like how in the angle of your photo, the Knight appears to be smiling. He's just crushed some more lapdogs of the False Emperor, and he's feeling GREAT! Excellent work, go forth and terrify your opponents with pride :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/291889-the-ground-will-tremble-a-chaos-knight-wip-updated-17/page/3/#findComment-3713498 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clone Posted June 10, 2014 Author Share Posted June 10, 2014 Got my first game with the old Dread Knight (the name is a wip) tomorrow night. Tactics: point it towards the hardest looking thing I can see and ram the knight down its throat. Here a question for you guys: should I freehand any graffiti or slogans onto the armour? Maybe a "death to the False Emperor", "blood for the blood god" or "where is your machine god now?" Would this be too silly?

Dark_Apostle_XVII Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 I like your tactics ;) I think it can look good to be honest. Here is an example of one of my Traitor Guard tanks but I tend to do a lot of this on my models and it looks good in the right place. https://m.flickr.com/#/photos/122948524@N05/14302188352/ https://m.flickr.com/#/photos/122948524@N05/14303528644/ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/291889-the-ground-will-tremble-a-chaos-knight-wip-updated-17/page/3/#findComment-3714536 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warsmith Aznable Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 I'm kind of a fan of silly when it comes to 40k. If I had the skill I'd have slogans painted on all my vehicles.

Clone Posted June 12, 2014 Author Share Posted June 12, 2014 Tried him out for the first time tonight. He was awesome! Killed a dread knight in cc then squashed draigo, librarian, a squad of purifiers and death cult assassins. Lovely. Quick question though; on a roll of a 6 on the stomp attack table it says models under the template are removed as casualties. Do they still get an armour or invulnerable save? I read it that you only take saves when wounds are caused but no wounds are caused, models are just removed as casualties. This matches up with the stomp table in the Imperial knight codex which according to the imperial knight faq you are not told to use the stomp attack from the rulebook (unlike for destroyer weapons and many other rules).

Clone Posted June 18, 2014 Author Share Posted June 18, 2014 Unfortunately exams and coursework has been keeping me busy these last couple of weeks, so I apologise for lack of updates. Hope to have something up soon.

Clone Posted June 19, 2014 Author Share Posted June 19, 2014 Progress at last. I decided to make a serious effort to get some painting done last night. The base is almost finished. Not sure of I went overboard with the blood but I thought that if a person has just been ripped in half, there'd probably be copious amounts. I spread some typhus corrosion around the various joints and pistons just to add that extra bit of grime. http://i1282.photobucket.com/albums/a521/ralphgeddes/IMG_2014061955210_zpsl6bbfuur.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/291889-the-ground-will-tremble-a-chaos-knight-wip-updated-17/page/3/#findComment-3723433 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warsmith Aznable Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Fantastic. I can't wait to get my own knight kit. I'll be happy if mine comes out half as cool as this one.

Clone Posted July 1, 2014 Author Share Posted July 1, 2014 So my exams are finished and I've finally got round to painting my knight. Without further ado I give you Baelor the Knightsbane, scion of Legio Mortis and his mount; Blooded Claw. Blood for the Blood God, Skulls for the Legio Mortis! http://i1282.photobucket.com/albums/a521/ralphgeddes/IMG_2014070124988_zpsxpsgbw5v.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/291889-the-ground-will-tremble-a-chaos-knight-wip-updated-17/page/3/#findComment-3734221 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bearingtheword Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Sorry for necro-ing this....but damn...this is fantastic....I had just started work on one myself to run as a "counts-as" defiler (not a fan of the spidery look) and am totally blown away. I had looked at the Leviathan claw, but wasn't sure how it would be size wise but I am now sold....Thank you Clone! You totally rocked this and have inspired me immensely!~BtW Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/291889-the-ground-will-tremble-a-chaos-knight-wip-updated-17/page/3/#findComment-4020529 Share on other sites More sharing options...
