Malus Trux Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 So I have a knight now that I need to assemble and I picked out the Beaumaris color scheme way back when GW released the plastic kit. In a twist of fate, BassWave began painting his knight in the same scheme. So after some light brainstorming we decided to make a plog to keep each other motivated. To start things out, BassWave pointed out the old logo is a bit dated. Very 80's is how I believe he referred to it. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v120/trex238/Beaumarisclassic_zps49634d1b.jpg So after some work in photoshop & paint, I came up with this for a badge: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v120/trex238/Beaumarismodernizedconcept_zps480a805a.jpg That is currently all I have since I need to get some superglue to get started but photos should be up from both of us soon.

BassWave Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Looks good so far brother! Seeing the updated symbol in progress gets me motivated to finish painting my knight. How far are you on your Errant? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/302241-dragons-on-the-rise/#findComment-3925357 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malus Trux Posted January 29, 2015 Author Share Posted January 29, 2015 I finally picked up some super glue & after getting frustrated with another project I got started. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v120/trex238/Knight01_zpsbqrvgnrr.jpg This is how far I got. I think I'll try magnetizing this before I go further.

WarriorFish Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Hah, yes the old one is a bit dated - the update is much better :) Will you be free handing the badge somewhere?

BassWave Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 The plan is to print it out on decal paper, along with other markings. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/302241-dragons-on-the-rise/#findComment-3936998 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malus Trux Posted February 23, 2015 Author Share Posted February 23, 2015 Finally got a build day in & since I'm still waiting on my Judge Dredd helmets I continued work on this guy. Hopefully I get some more time on him. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v120/trex238/Knight02_zpsp0esberz.jpg Magnetized the legs but need to add greenstuff to make sure the magnet stays. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v120/trex238/Knight03_zpsqodcbf78.jpg He takes shape. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v120/trex238/Knight04_zpsiaqh5ieo.jpg A shot of the helmet WIP.

Kierdale Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Beaumaris? Fantastic! I wish I saw more of the old houses. I've promised myself I'll do one if I ever when I get a Knight. Subscribed!

Malus Trux Posted February 26, 2015 Author Share Posted February 26, 2015 @Kierdale Hope we don't disappoint you. Any ideas what classic house strikes your fancy? @WarriorFish Here's the best I can do for now. I have the torso largely completed so only the top down view is visible. I chopped off the nub on the dome & replaced it with a magnet, which is visible on the first pic of my previous post. Didn't have my file at the time so I just got it as close to flat as possible. If I had smaller magnets I could've just drilled in order to put it in the nub but I work with what I have. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v120/trex238/Knight07_zpszveekvy3.jpg Inside the torso the two magnets are separated by some styrene and it is floating on a small layer of greenstuff, which isn't visible due to the angle. I surround the magnets with a ring of greenstuff to add some extra anchor points but I haven't gotten to that step yet. Hopefully tomorrow. Whenever I do the next Knight I'll take a step by step for that part. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v120/trex238/Knight06_zpskgeixcfs.jpg There's been a couple of snow days over in Texas this past week so I had some time to work on the arms. I've decided to make my next Knight an Errant. I want to have a powerfist on that Knight so this guy will be a Paladin instead.

WarriorFish Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Cool thanks for that, the time when I'll be able to get back to my Knight is approaching (albeit slowly...) :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/302241-dragons-on-the-rise/#findComment-3962755 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malus Trux Posted May 10, 2015 Author Share Posted May 10, 2015 So with the new codex, why not a bit of an update as well as a simple tutorial. Don't know if anyone else went through the trouble of doing this but here's how to make the gun arm movable with the pistons attached: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v120/trex238/Knight09_zpsdf5qxpfd.jpg You'll need the arm pistons & a rod to connect the two as well as a pin vice & clippers. I used a fairly thick paperclip as the pin vise diameter is slightly smaller so it fits in snuggly. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v120/trex238/Knight10_zpsar54meuj.jpg Clip the peg that would go in the arm. Your connecting rod will be replacing it so using the peg stump as a guide drill a hole about 2/3s or 3/4 of the way through the piston. Do this process for the other piston as well. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v120/trex238/Knight11_zpss8wswcv3.jpg Be careful not to drill too much or you will punch clean through. A bit of greenstuff will seal the breach if that happens. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v120/trex238/Knight08_zpscbah8qw5.jpg Next drill through the holes that the peg would've gone through. Thread your rod to see the length you will need. You don't want too much or it won't fit. Note if this is the first time you're cutting paper clips USE WIRE CUTTERS. They're typically steel & will ruin the GW clippers. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v120/trex238/Knight12_zpsilrf7oyi.jpg Try dry fitting the rod to make sure you have the length you need. If it works then glue the rod into the two pistons. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v120/trex238/Knight13_zpsw64idc3l.jpg It should look like any glued pistons. My advice is glue one side & let it dry before doing the other. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v120/trex238/Knight14_zpswzyqpbmb.jpg The key difference is you can move the arms. Gives you options on posing. So nearly have my first knight finished. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v120/trex238/Knight15_zpscdie8xcu.jpg Just need to add details like handholds & he's off to be painted. Also the blue one here is BassWave's knight.

BassWave Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 That would be a knight styrix head from FW. Also, he's completely built and he looks awesome! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/302241-dragons-on-the-rise/#findComment-4037149 Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommodusXIII Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 It's actually the Magaera head. The Styrix has a half-skull design. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/302241-dragons-on-the-rise/#findComment-4037159 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malus Trux Posted May 16, 2015 Author Share Posted May 16, 2015 It is indeed the Magaera. Also a player here as offered to sell me the heads & armor plates of his Knights (he only wanted the weapons he tells me) so I'll have all of them looking like this guy. Anyways I present Gordon Freeblade: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v120/trex238/Knight16_zpswez5q7y8.jpg Now he silently awaits a fresh paint job.

Malus Trux Posted June 10, 2015 Author Share Posted June 10, 2015 I did want to paint him orange & black but after some discussion with my fellow Baron as well as some friends I've decided that Gordon will have something special done for him so I reassigned the machine to Samus Armored. Her steed, Phazon Strider, had its color scheme loosely based on this. I had planned on posting the last 3 days of progress but instead of posting I would get home & just jump into bed without uploading so here's everything: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v120/trex238/Knight17_zpsrxr0dps5.jpg Day one: Phazon Strider gets some outline work done. Rumors that the pauldrons where forgotten and unprimed could not be independently verified. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v120/trex238/Knight18_zps28inesms.jpg Day two: The main phase is complete but her arms remain unfinished. Two work details were summarily executed for this failure. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v120/trex238/Knight19_zps0glelfaf.jpg Day three: Completion. Celebrations were postponed following discovery that two Squire Striders were awaiting construction. Detail leader was fired. From a rapid fire battle cannon.
