Hi all, do you remenber the old knight titan I create in 2007 ? no ?

ok see the old knight :

due to the success of the selling of my first cast I continue to create others knights.
I create the Paladin, Errant, Lancer and the Baron (the big boss)

Now the new knights are 4 !
see here the different kit mounted :

I suppress my pictures too Big. wait a few day for Edit

what do you think about there ?

painted model are coming soon.

**MeanGreenStompa**

These are Beautiful! Tre Bon!

Also as a conversion point for people who want stompas that don't look like they're wearing pregnancy dresses...

How many of each are you making and how are you going about selling them?

**bigdaddy**

thank you.
I think make like the old knight (about 120 models) I sell it 100 euros by models (approximately 140$). weight under 350 gr by models (under 300 for the paladin and the errant)

I can take order for specific modification (weapon or head etc etc)

I sell world wide, I probably open a store on ebay or make a thread here on dakka (in the selling section)

**MeanGreenStompa**

Could you post some pictures of the construction process?

**scarab**

The painted version is particularly impressive.

**whitedragon**

Size comparison?

**MeanGreenStompa**

judging from the size relative to the CDs, I'd call the last one at 8" and the others at 6-7".

**bigdaddy**

the two paladin was based on a CD, the Errant is based on a Ironhalo 150mm resin base.

at the start they have all the same high (approximaly 7" this is the size recommanded by a sculptor of the Forgeworld team) but the pose are very different so they don't have the same high at the end

**bigdaddy**

a picture of my household in coming for the finish lane.

they are mounted with my knight titan kit.

click on the thumb

you can see a Lancer, an Errant, A Senechal Paladin, and two others Paladins

**Vitruvian XVII**

Wow, these really are very good, bravo.

**Grobrotz**

Do you cast them or let them cast by somebody else?
I think about making my own tanks and I am gathering infos about the casting process.
Thanks

**The Fallen Angel**

Looks very cool but i cant afford one :(
subbed the thread if i ever get enough money

hoping on winning on some lottery :p

**barlio**

The Errant is my favorite. Very nice.

**warpcrafter**

They look great, and are priced about the same as what I'd imagine Forgeworld would charge. I hope you at least make your money back before GW shuts you down.

they cast by a professional, it's because they are a very good quality, but expensive for casting .

I preview a challenge painting in a few week. the winner must gain a special edition. and it cost only 100 euros not very expensive for a big model.

I don't concurrency GW, and this kit is construct only with plasticart and modelling past. I don't make them for money but for realize a dream. make my own Household, and when other guys see my work they want too knight for them. so now others fan of Knight household can buy them if they contact me.

**warpcrafter**

Granted, that's the way you see it, and I'm not doubting your intentions, but GW tends to guard their IP with fanatical zeal.

**citadel_security**

Excellent!

**bigdaddy**

better picture of my lancer

**deadly chicken**

looks good but forgot the rules, can you post them?

**Battle Brother Loken**

The winners won a mystery miniature (show in April only)

**Corpsesarefun**

Nice models but the titan pilot made the fluff nazi in my cry :(

Titans have princeps not pilots.

**bigdaddy**

they do not lead the Titan what it do? serve pizza?

ok bad humour. but knight pilot are not like others titan, read the white dwarf 126 ( http://z6.invisionfree.com/adeptusmechanicus/index.php?showtopic=70&st=0 )

the knight pilot have other denomination like Squire, Knight and Lord (and senechal for old pilot). so I say pilot because I don't now his rank for the moment.

**Alpharius**

Awesome stuff - I know I'll be ordering one, and eagerly awaiting your next Knight!
