This is an Imperial Knight I did a few months ago in the Cadmus colors. Let me know what you think.

Frikkin awesome! Love the base.

Very impressive

Outstanding work!!

Thank you all for the kind words!
For anyone wondering, the LEDs are powered by a watch battery stored in the center of the body. One of my buddies helped me install them and we also put a dimmer switch in there so the LEDs can be made bright or dim.
As far as painting and assembly goes, my wife helped me with some of that and we airbrushed it following the guide from http://www.wargamingzone.com. I think on YouTube he is known as BuyPainted which is where I originally found the guide.
The gun arm is also magnetized so it can be swapped between the battle cannon and thermal cannon.

Really lovely looking model, I really like the colour scheme and the base is absolutely top notch!

The lighting is great as well, really shows your attention to detail!

I wish my stuff could look half as good as that!

I'm curious about the transfers, though. They appear quite stark against the paintwork from a few angles... maybe it's the lighting or just the photo but is it possible to 'blend' them in with the model a bit better? With a wash or something?

Ta for the website link as well, good resource

In all honesty this was my first airbrushed model as well as my first time working with transfers. I agree that they do pop a little too much. The transfers were put on last then the whole model was coated in a satin varnish to set them (and protect the paint job). I was worried about going over them with a wash to blend them because I was afraid to mess it up. I might do some practice work then try to give that a go. I think you are right that with a wash over the whole thing to make it a little dirtier might tie it together.

LEDs? Win. Clean, crisp, transfers look great. You absolutely smashed it.

Thank you very much!
I know you are all familiar with what IKs look like but is there any interest of pictures of this guy with the thermal cannon on?
