House Blankhaus

[MikeyB83]

Hi all. 

 

How are you all doing? Quick bit of background for those who don't know me (which is probably most I'd imagine). It's been a while since I was last here. Life took some unexpected turns (I became a dad, as well as an unexpected condition), so I took some time out of the hobby. I kept some of my Chaos Marines and I also had a Guard army, both of which are essentially shelved until further notice. That said, I did manage to keep up with the hobby news, amd decided this year I would restart with Imperial Knights. Nice big models that can be done at my own pace as I don't have a whole lot of time these days. 

 

I picked some Armigers a while back (pics below but they are WIP, just details to do now). For my birthday, my brother got me a Questoris, which I assembled as an Errant. I also managed to get a Valourstrike Lance boxed set off eBay, they are waiting to be assembled though. My plan for them is a Paladin (nice and versatile) and the Armigers will be 50/50 Helverins and Warglaives. I also have a Castellan on the way, which round the force out to 2k points. They will run as a Freeblade Detachment, which ties in with their background. 

 

I present Baron Danail Blankhaus, son of High Baroness Blankhaus. Often the first to a fight, he seeks the largest foes and enemy armour. Armed with the suit Pyre Lord, he is often escorted by bonded Warglaives to aid him. 

This was the first 40k model I have painted in about 5 years (I did some Blood Bowl 3rd edition models too, boy were they fiddly). I decided to go with a darker red and black scheme, keeping it simple for the moment. I will admit, this model gave me back my love of model painting. 

Armed with a Thermal Cannon, Thunderstrike Gauntlet and Stormspear Rocket Launcher. 

Blankhaus next to the Armigers. Once they are finished I will post up individual pics of them.
