Tzen Posted September 16, 2019 Author Share Posted September 16, 2019 Thanks chaps! :D I plan on adding some more colour and some of the chaotic runes on him. I don't want to detract away from the dark colour scheme too much, but he is deffo getting some chaos stars and the like :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tzen Posted September 20, 2019 Author Share Posted September 20, 2019 Well, the majority of the body work and base painting is done. I am now up to the transfers/heraldry stage. I am currently jotting down sketches for the house emblem, and looking for general inspiration! http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/knightwip6.jpg http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/knightwip5.1.jpg I Am Forsaken and Grotsmasha 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mechanist Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 (edited) Beautiful work, and an ethereal ghostly scheme on the heraldry will look amazing. something understated, I'd love to see your sketches. edit, understated and creepy would be my goal if I had the skills.

Quixus Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 Beautiful work, and an ethereal ghostly scheme on the heraldry will look amazing. something understated, I'd love to see your sketches. I agree. The colour scheme would also look great on and XX Legion Effrit stealth squad, I think. Care to share the recipe?

Bjorn Firewalker Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 (edited) The Knight looks great! I am currently jotting down sketches for the house emblem, and looking for general inspiration!I went to Wikipedia, and found an article on the Sutton Hoo Helmet, whose "fierce presence" should work. Another possibility is the Bathory coat-of-arms, for its implied menace. That's the house responsible for Elizabeth Bathory, which the Guinness World Records describe as "The most prolific female murderer and the most prolific murderer of the western world... who practised vampirism on girls and young women. Described as the most vicious female serial killer of all time, the facts and fiction on the events that occurred behind the deaths of these young girls are blurred. Throughout the 15th century, she is alleged to have killed more than 600 virgins."

Tzen Posted September 24, 2019 Author Share Posted September 24, 2019 Nearly there! This is the last blu-tac picture before I finish the big guy off. Been quite the slog this! http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/knightwip7.jpg http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/knightwip7.1.jpg Will be happy to share the recipe and such like when I finalise it. I have changed how I went about this as the project went on. Not too happy with the skull sign on his shield, but running out of time. :( DuskRaider, I Am Forsaken, Crevette and 4 others 7 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sagentus Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 Dam Tzen, that is epic!!! the runes, skulls and symbols really make it look evil. If you are unhappy with the skull on the shield, maybe try higher cheek bones similar to that on the banner? Hats off to you though Sir, that is one really scary looking knight!

Kolgrim DeathHowl Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 Holy moly that paint job is really nice, great work! Tzen 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bjorn Firewalker Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 (edited) The skull on the shield should be adequate as an intimidating symbol. It's the skull on the loincloth, with the tentacles spilling out its jaw, that interests me. Does your Chaos Knight consider Cthulhu a patron? Does he march into battle screaming, "Ph’nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R’lyeh, wgah’nagl fhtagn!"?

StraightSilver Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 That's absolutely awesome! :) Really lovely colour scheme and fantastic freehand. Tzen 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tzen Posted September 25, 2019 Author Share Posted September 25, 2019 Thanks chaps. I have quickly done up a base for him, and I am hoping to get some final pics up tomorrow. The skull on the cloth is the house motif I think. Or variations of it at any rate! Sagentus 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkimaskMohawk Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 I really love how it turned out. When you mentioned you were on the heraldry stage I kind of cringed, as the loyalist style heraldry just doesn't fit these corrupted versions (imo). The runes and octeds work perfectly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Lunkhead Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 Great work Tzen ...... Your Knight is bad to the bone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaliGn Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 The really neat thing is that you can run him either your word bearers or your thousand sons. Looks proper awesome, now should I infer from the plural in the thread title that there will be more to this project? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tzen Posted September 26, 2019 Author Share Posted September 26, 2019 Thanks chaps! I am glad you all like. There will eventually be a whole army of these chaps, I have a lot of ideas for them (I have bought all the ones I want). But as is always the case I have loads of other projects on the go at the moment. :( I have two Birthday presents I need to paint up next! We;; he is done! Coming up for my own scheme and Knightly house hold has been really fun, and if you have been tempted by one of these kits I strongly recommend getting one. They are really good fun! http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/Knightdes1.jpg http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/Knightdes2.jpg http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/knightdes3.jpg As fun as this mini has been, I had to rush it a little towards the end. I am not happy with the skull on his Ion Shield, and the base is just a very perfunctory effort. When I get chance I plan on revisiting these areas. But I have learnt a lot, and generally speaking I am happy with him. Bjorn Firewalker, ranulf the revenant and MaliGn 3 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bjorn Firewalker Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 The Knight is well done. What's his/her/its name? Equus Potestas Hateart? ("Horse Power Hateart" is the name H. P. Lovecraft gave his own alter ego, in The Battle that Ended the Century. FYI, "Two-Gun Bob" is Robert E. Howard.) Tzen 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Desultor Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 Phenomenal job! And very inspirational - I'm now mulling over the idea of picking up one of these kits myself. Looking forward to seeing your future work with regards to the other chaos knights.... Tzen 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tzen Posted September 27, 2019 Author Share Posted September 27, 2019 Thanks chaps, glad you like! :D The Knight is well done. What's his/her/its name? Equus Potestas Hateart? ("Horse Power Hateart" is the name H. P. Lovecraft gave his own alter ego, in The Battle that Ended the Century. FYI, "Two-Gun Bob" is Robert E. Howard.) Haha, yeah, I do need to come up with something suitably Lovecraftian (??). I plan on making the leader of the house have the tentacled head. Maybe I could name him after Mr Lovecraft. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
