brother_b Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 I love it, especially your old-school Magos! I've got one myself I'm going to plop down on a 50mm base with some other goodies and use as a tech-preist dominus. It'll be a mini-vignette. Hopefully I can pull it off. I really like the bold look of your knights. That's great.

Brother Sefiel Posted November 25, 2017 Author Share Posted November 25, 2017 Cheers guys! It's just a shame that there aren't any metal guys that I could have used as troops (all of my infantry are mostly, if not completely, metal). Good to have a variety of the older guys - there are still a few of the original miniatures that I'd like to get hold of, but they're hellishly rare, so that's quite unlikely.I have some other knights, so I'm planning to give them slightly more complex schemes - reverse the red/black one I already have, and then do two quartered guys. The black knight (Lord Sable) is actually supposed to represent the Black Knight on the battlefield - the one that hated t'au.

Brother Sefiel Posted November 25, 2017 Author Share Posted November 25, 2017 Embrace the plastic! Admech looking good as ever Hey I nearly gave in when Cawl was released, but evidently resisted. Still dedicated to the metal! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/341680-mechanicus-and-knights/#findComment-4941383 Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassWave Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 They look great! And as far as having the satisfaction of having a purely metal army, I understand, I have over 100 vostroyans ;) Actually, why not acquire some Vostroyan infantry and use them as skitarii. I don't think it would be too much work to convert the guns. walter h 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/341680-mechanicus-and-knights/#findComment-4944015 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Sefiel Posted November 29, 2017 Author Share Posted November 29, 2017 Hi They look great! And as far as having the satisfaction of having a purely metal army, I understand, I have over 100 vostroyans Actually, why not acquire some Vostroyan infantry and use them as skitarii. I don't think it would be too much work to convert the guns. Well, I hadn't thought of a good reason to paint my Vostroyans until you came up with that one. I'll need to check how many I have...Cheers! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/341680-mechanicus-and-knights/#findComment-4945014 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vel'Cona Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 Nice work! Is there a specific reason you've kept the paint scheme neutral across multiple factions, or simply for consistency? +1 for any use of the classic Vostroyans, though. Always had a soft spot for those models. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/341680-mechanicus-and-knights/#findComment-4945412 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlo Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 Can we take the Forge World Knights as "QUESTOR MECHANICUS" Keyword? Or are we limited to Plastic (even though the Magera and Styrix exist...)

Brother Sefiel Posted November 29, 2017 Author Share Posted November 29, 2017 (edited) Hey Nice work! Is there a specific reason you've kept the paint scheme neutral across multiple factions, or simply for consistency? +1 for any use of the classic Vostroyans, though. Always had a soft spot for those models. When I started playing 40k again, towards the end of 3rd edition, I painted up a kill-team based on a Deathwatch idea, but all of the warriors were from chapters that used black, red and gold because they were divined to be loyal/reliable/something else by whatever inquisitor lord was forming them into a task force. Then I started doing guard,and it seemed obvious to complete the theme to create a crusade force. Eventually, when I later discovered that these were the Mechanicus colours - _after_ having used Mechanicus pads to represent the Deathwatch veterans in my marine force - it seemed as though it was fated, so I just painted everything like that. I put something about the marines and their allied forces in the Liber, but I suppose I should do something regarding the crusade that they are all nominally part of.It's just a shame that 7th was wound up, because the Castellans list was utterly glorious for them!

Vel'Cona Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Can we take the Forge World Knights as "QUESTOR MECHANICUS" Keyword? That's a good question! I don't believe it has been answered or FAQ'd yet, but maybe another Frater has the answer?
