After completing my khorne themed deamon knight, its time for the second part of my chaos/deamon knight army.

I started with an imperial knight and a necrosphynx kit, using the necrosphynx torso instead of the head and front panel for the knight.
Then remembering the spare Forgefiend cannons I had in my bits box I chose to build this one as a a castigator pattern knight, using the one of the sphinx wings as a sword blade.

Obviously its early days with this, but im interested to see what people think, or what they would do differently.

Winggy sword is awesome

You should make this crab carapace into a giant scarab.

Edit: If you are trying to make the forge world one with the vulken bolter, IIRC quite a bit taller and different proportions than the normal knight.

The giant scarab idea is awesome, I'll see what I can do. As for making the fw knight, I know, its a lot taller but im happy to leave this one at its standard height. I'll just blame the warping influence of chaos. Lol. My nurgle knight will be a bit shorter as I plan on basing it on the glotkin model

WOW!!!!!!!!!
THAT LOOKS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!
I see you did it off of an imperial knight model.

Excellent idea! Cut some custom greaves, add some details and iconography and BAM!...done.

Kaptainbadruk. Cheers dude, yeah its an imperial knight. Eventually I'll be building at least four. One for each chaos god, plus maybe a few more for chaos undivided.

Brother paen. There are a load of bits in the necrosphynx kit that I can use for armour. Watch this space

If thats the case i hope the slannesh one will be a giant crab bot with defiler legs and a GIANT pinchy claw for the D weapon

Actually I was thinking of either building something like the old epic subjugator knights, or a massive guitar like the noise marines have.

A little more progress made today, I also found a little gremlin/deamon thing to go on the carapace.

Update time. The paintwork is now well underway, with my first attempt at painting flames, its not great, but im happy with it for a first try

Looking great so far - keep up the good work!

Loving the addition of Necrosphinx parts, especially the sword and leg armour parts. If that is your first attempt at flames then I doubt you'll have any bother with them in future, they look extremely well done. What is the purple on the blade?

Thanks guys, ill try to keep it up.

The purple is a silver basecoat with my home made glazes over it. Ive done a little more on it now though.

Hmmm. Painting flames is proving to be a little addictive

Flames? Or the curse of your Chaos corruption perhaps Seriously though your flames look amazing. Especially considering the colours are not the natural flame colours. You've definitely got an eye for them. I can't wait to see more, of both the flames and the Knight.

Lol. Thanks dude... heres a little more

Getting there slowly

Those Admech striders look alot like the old Slaneshi Hellstriders an Hellscourges....just sayin.

very nice!

Thanks scorpinov.

Just the leg armour and stubber to do now, then its onto final detailing.

Well, I think thats the last of the flames done. Now I just have to finish off the arms and do the final detailing.... it should hopefully be ready for my local gw conversion comp in two weeks time.

Aaaand finished. Possibly my finest moment since I started painting...

Anyway.. here he is.

I realize I'm super late to the party on this one, but the ocd in me demands I point it out. The two cannons. Since they're wider at the muzzle than the base, putting the two close together at the base seems to have forced them to slant ever so slightly away from each other. It hardly bears any relevance and it's a beautifully done model, but I just wanted to mention it; at a distance his shots would actually be going to either side of where he was aiming.

That said, it's a very very nice conversion. I like it.

Fantastic stuff.

Thanks guys... the point about the cannons is a fair one, unfortunately the only way they would fit on the baseplate was to fit them close together, which meant the cannon ends wouldn't fit. I'll probably get round to fixing it one day, but for now it'll have to do

Like I said, I only mentioned it because raisins. It is a wonderfully done model.

I like it but, 2 things I am not a fan of is the face and the tail. Otherwise great work.

Chaos incarnate, cheers dude, I genuinely didn't take offence.

Sammoth, the head is swappable, once I have time I'll be painting up some different options.

Ah very kewl I am a big fan of swappable stuff. Doing my Lord Of Skulls like that right now. Just finished my 2nd Mauler/ Forgefiend.

Nice. I love the egyptian stuff
