So yeah, lovely killer machines.. yet I have always found these imperial or cerastus knights felt a little dwarf shaped, short n fat!

That combined with that I felt a melee based knight should rise. With a little inspiritation of titanfalls 2, Ronin titan, I wanted to create a knight worthy of being even able to take down warhounds.


What I have done so far is, from feet up:

Extended the lower and upper legs by about 2cm each. Created a fortified chest area shield. Scratch built a new arm with fist, the shield as well is fully plastics. The other arm caries an extendable chainsaw. The shoulder plates were the most difficult, all scratch plastics. I've raised the top by rotating it from the back to the front, g his makes it about 3cm higher again. Also added some close defense gattlin guns for those annoying marines.

Please feel free to release your thought! Let's build it together!

A glimpse of the color scheme, and some first freehand. The shield is done:

So, after a few months, were finally almost done. Last pieces of detailing need to be done yet here we are. A new era, dragonstone, is what they go by. Enjoy, C&C more than welcome!
