Green. It's the color I've chosen for the puity seals on my AdMech infantry.

Hey, Popsicle sticks need protection, too, RiTides!


And ok, Gits. Green it shall be!! So like the green of the lenses and cables on the admech I've seen on your blog, or perhaps a darker green? Can do just about anything ya like!

Any green Ramos, whatever you think compliments your red the best.

Aaaaaaaaalrighty kids. Are you ready to ROCK!?

Cause its Knighttime.

It's also a time where those of you with weaker computers may want to look away. Serously, I think this is the largest chunk of photos I've put on here in a good long time!


So lets get started with a group shot!


Then the obligatory 360 close-ups.

The lancer: Clockwork Red




Chainsword and Gatling cannon:





Chainsword and Melta




Chainsword and Power Fist





Next time on the Ramow Mystery Painting Hour, we go to the swamps!
Thanks for reading!!

Fantastic work fella. They look aweosme. The Clockwork Knight came out beautifully. Seriosuly tremendous stuff

Bravo!! The shield on the Lancer is simply stunning Ramos, so much better than the origial that FW should be ashamed of their version.

They look incredible!! The clockwork shield definitely steals the show, but I love the black and white shins - and you've even got a half black / half white face on that close combat Knight, very menacing! Excellent pose on that one too, very dynamic (as is fitting its loadout).

The swamps line has me extremely excited too, of course . Should be a nice change of pace for you after all that heavy armor!

Beautiful work!

They look really amazing Ramos especially the shield, thats just so sexy.

Absolutely stunning work mate! Can't quite get my head around how impressive they are!

very stunning look. What did you use for the Carapace mounted AA?

Big fan of the Clockwork Shield! Are the weapons magnetized?

@Solar: The guns with the shield are from the new kit, the other two are cannibalized from an Aegis Wall set (the gift that keeps on giving).

Weapons are not magnetized... just too big a PITA.

Nice.. I'll have to steal that idea..

Now to get them back to you and on the field and taste your enemies tears.

The guns from the Aegis wall set look really good, I didn't even notice the difference! Now that I do, I like the bit of variation / not having them all identical, and if anything I actually prefer the Aegis guns

Thank you very very much guys!!

Yeah the ADL guns worked out INCREDIBLY well. Its like they were designed for it! Just had to cut down what would be the central post on the build ADL gun turret (this gives it a nice angle), then glue some sort of optics onto the gun half. For one I used the bit that came with the ADL. The other I think is an old bit from a Land Raider or some similar kit.

The closest I got to magnetizing anything on this kit is that the guns are on bits of brass rod, so they can be removed and rotated. End result turned out pretty nice- just tight enough to keep it in place, but loose enough not to stick.

Ah, I was wondering about that - having them be removable on brass rods sounds perfect. Otherwise they'd have been crazy to pack and keep safe!

Added bonus, you can swivel them to face the flyer you're about to blow out of the sky

O.K now I want another bloody knight lol :-)

I was thinking more practical due to GW penchant for making certain weapon configurations less desirable or down right illegal over time.

True, but the majority of configs ( or lack thereof ) will insure that the majority will probably not change.

Then there is that Mega grav cannon/ accelerator/ blaster/phased plasma rifle in the 40 watt range coming out!

Oh I bet you do too!.......

Wow... that shield is all sorts of awesome.

This project caused me months ago to buy a crap ton of gears from Michael's for my own works.

Anyways, that shield is more than just spectacular. Great stuff.

Don't forget to vote on the pics guys... especially the one that shows the shield so well. Let's get Ramos some face-time on the gallery page shall we??

Thanks so much you guys!! (especially if you vote like Gits' mentioned )

@nerdfest: DO IT! Keira needs some company! Besides... WM does know a guy. You know. If you want to bow to our peer pressure like you totally should

@Stormwall: And the funniest thing was that the gears were a totally random thought we had during one of our discussions of the project
Very much looking forward to seeing what you end up doing with them!

======================

SO!
I putzed around the past couple days after getting the Knights sealed up and shipped, mostly just messing with a rebasing project for another client's space wolves. Its a nice easy change and goes pretty swiftly. Plus I get to learn how to use the glass snow effects, which Im growing to like more and more.

Then today I spent much of my time thinking on the Deathroll project for RiTides. A large chunk of it is already done, thanks to the group of Shamblers I painted last month, but there are still quite a few different aspects to this army, including a truly massive lizard beast with an altar on his back!

I started painting the smallest models in the remaining groups, a pair of Fungeins from Imbrian Arts. I believe (and correct me if Im wrong here, RiTides...) that these are stand ins for Swamp Gobbers, if any of you play Hordes.

The concept of these was simple. Paint em like mushrooms!!
The most mushroom-y of the two got hit with the colors of the Fly Agaric (the classic colors we think of when we think "Mushroom", while the other got a colder gray-blue like a particular shelf fungus.



About halfway done with these, and it shouldnt be too much work tomorrow to finish them!

I freaking love the one on the left, really does look like a mushroom . Very exciting to see the project in-progress!

Those little dudes look great! Didn't know they were part of the army. Super cute.
