So last night I was watching movies on my
PC while waiting for The Elder Scrolls Online to finish patching and checking itself, and I came across two that my sister gave me: the rebuilds of Evangelion, Evangelion 1.11 and 2.22 (we had 3, but we lost it!). I found myself going back adn watching the angel battles again and again, and then my eye turned to the Iron Warriors on my
PC tower, then my incomplete Battlesuits, and I got to thinking about the new Knights...
I think you guys can see where this is going. I want to make Eva-style Knight counts-as, either for Tau or Chaos (probably the latter for their true organic nature). Plus, when it goes Berserk, Eva-01 looks rather demonic. To help bolster this leaning, here's an entry from the Evangelion wiki about the Evas themselves:
An Evangelion (エヴァンゲリオン) is a giant human being of near-godlike power, created by NERV from samples of the First Angel, Adam (although Unit-01 might be an exception). Evangelions were supposedly created to combat the Angel threat, although their most important function (and one of their greatest secrets) is to initiate Third Impact to evolve humanity further.
Despite being giant humans (in the series' broader definition of the term "human"), Evangelions are often mistaken for giant robots, but as early as Episode 02 Evangelion Unit-01 is seen without its helmet on, revealing that Evangelions are clearly not robots, but cyborgs, living organic creatures with cybernetic machine and computer components grafted onto them. They are also covered from head to toe in restraining metal plates that hide their true organic form and serve to keep them under NERV's control, and in part because they have pilots who sit in the cockpit-like Entry Plug.
Evangelions have been imbued with human souls. With the exception of Unit-00 and possibly the Mass Production Evas, this is always the soul of the pilot's mother.
And now, for those of you who've been under a rock for the past couple of decades, here's some images:
And that's just Unit-01! here's a few other examples:
So what do you guys think of some Chaos-ified versions of these beasts, on Knight scale? And how would you recommend approaching such a project in terms of parts, construction, degree of scratch-building, etc.? If a way to make these without TOO much hassle can be found, I intend to actually try making at least one!
