Thanks. Still some more blending of the purple to do. I need to get the knees and thighs plates finished. Better pictures to come, These are washed out with overhead florescent lighting.

Busy weekend.. didn't get any new painting done, however I did assemble some more shelves for my mini addiction. Reorganized my figures. Here is where it ended up.

Got my lighting set up for my picture taking area. Took some better pictures of the Imperial Knights. Will download them tomorrow.

Not finished yet. Still need to get all the Lamenters on the shelf and out of my army bag.
With all the armies layed out, it really shows how much I still have to paint. Yikes.

As Promised, The gang of four IK WIP to date. Still more clean up and purple shading to do . They are all in various stages of the process. Hopefully I’ll get back to them soon. All the parts on two are interchangeable. The other two can only be fielded as cannon or Melta.



Close up.. really like how the avenger cannon turned out.

My device has a black gauntlet on it so I thought it appropriate to reproduce it here..

Waiting to finish the helmet. Close up of the front.

Three of the four.. in varied state of completion…


Lastly some better pics of the Valkyrie..



Still in the Que is to finish the 4 knights and the 2nd Valkyrie. Then on to the Militarum Tempestus.

Looks great Solar. I really like the color selections on the knights. The only way they would look better would be if they were in SOLAR LION RED!

Thanks brother...Alas not so.. I did the one for ' Cleansing Flame' in red and white. I've got more work on cleaning up the purple as well as getting all the other smaller plates painted. Bases as well.

Thanks Cam. I 'll need to do some Heraldry touches so they aren't so base color.

Trying something new. Painted them Orange then a bit of Yellow followed by a dot of White on each one.

Good news I ordered a couple of siege Dreadnoughts. One for my Lamenters and one for the Alpha Legion. Both will be able to have interchangeable weapon options. Like the idea of the grav load out.

Also picked up a second box of Betrayal at Calth . One of my oldest buds keeps talking about a pre Heresy World Eaters Army. I think I'll surprise him.

The Red and Black Is a project I did for a Friend. Did this as a gift that I gave at Adepticon. Haven't heard if it has seen battle yet.

Thanks Justaerin.. this was my first Knight.. I learned a lot before i built my others.
Graven: Thanks, I think breaking up all the mass sections with different metallics and colors makes it feel less static.

Looks really great my friend. Love the broken ground it's on. Really gives it that destructive feel.

Thanks.. Hopefully 'Cleansing flame' will report back of it being in action sometime.

Finished First Imperial Knight. Took a quick Camera phone shot at sunset. Didn’t have time to set up lighting. I’ll get a complete 4 Knight photo shoot when I get all 4 done.



I’ll base when all finished as well so they look like a group.

Wonderful work SL. I love the way you've broken up the color scheme and especially the heraldry on the shield. Awesome.

Agree completely, looks amazing and the subtle but effective heraldry really adds to the piece, will definitely be something to see 4 of these boys on a table.

I'm afraid SL had a rough one. Did get to trot out my new AdMech army last night. Not as complicated to run as I'd though. I think if I get a few more games in with them I'll have a pretty good handle on them. Poor Yellowbeard just kept being my prime target (we did a 2 on 2). His teammate kept his marines cleverly hidden behind the eldar.
