That's a great idea. Consider it stolen...

I'm scratching up two Vultures to go with my kit-bash Thunderhawk for that very reason. It would just look killer-cool to have the T-Hawk flying in flanked by escorts.

Having a pair of Knights would provide a good buffer in an Apoc game, spreading out the killy-fun.

So I almost have enough miscast parts for another Paladin ...

Here's what the legs look like cleaned smooth:



I was futzing around with the CCW and came up with this (...just need to add one "tooth" to the very front):







Then I found some left over parts from a Sigma-6 Duke figure.
Flamer:





Buzzsaw:





I have an old wind-up robot that may work for a head-swap. I'll shoot it with some primer and take more pics tomorrow.

Nice Trooper! Makes me wish I had a camera to post the new ranged weapons as well as the buzz saw, which are all done

I think the new options are the way to go. Ill be able to actually field a dark mechanicus knight force and actually arm them all differently now hehe.

I'll take and post pics when I get them...

Here's my Knight Paladin #2... Just bashed together, no details added.

My Space Marine chapter, the "Toxic Angels" are based on the old-school beakies. My kit-bashed Warhound is a Zaku II with a spikey right shoulder... so I wanted to make a Knight in that style. I cleaned the knubbs off the shins and left shoulder. Then, to match my kit-bashed Reaver, I added the AdMech icon to the right shoulder. (This is from the COD box, cut, trimmed and sanded till just the gears were left. Then plopped in hot water till it was taffy soft and drapped in place. Carefully work all of the edges down, without distorting any of the details or leaving a fingerprints in there.)




I took the blades from two CCWs and made one uber version. I just need to add one "tooth" to the very front to make it look like a viable U-turn around the front tip. Toxic Angels all have chain weapons, period. EVERYONE has a chain weapon, so my Knight needs to have an equally killy (nom nom nom) weapon. Would this be of interest as another option?





Here is the Sigma-6 buzz saw stuck onto the left over stump from the scavanged CCW.





Here is the Sigma-6 flame/torch. I pinned the buzz saw so the end can be swapped out.





Oh, the head for this guy is an old windup toy robot. It needs a bunch of work, but I was inspired by a "put a Bionicle head on there" comment, so figured I'd throw something out there for $#!t$ and grinns.



For a size comparrisson, here's a Stompa with Knight Paladin #2.

I just got mine in today, can't wait to dig in and get to work on it!

Excellent!

if you get it painted and posted with the month, you can enter it into the "painted knight" contest. The winner will get a set of weapon arms free

6 new weapon arms done.
Smoother armor with trim, done.
Cyber Skull Head, done.

Plated armor, started.
Knight helmet head, started.

So, we are starting to take pre orders on the new and improved knight kit. After all the feedback, the thing the kit was lacking, was options.

Now, there will be ore options then you can shake a stick at.

You get to choose from the following:
3 different heads
8 weapon arms
3 different armor styles (the shoulders and shins)

Pics will start popping up this week before going out to the caster. Seeing as how the kit did when it had no options, I figure it will sell out rather fast, so pre orders are the way to go. No money is needed on pre order, and no pre order has to be made until you have seen the new options.

Just figured id let everyone know.

Glad you were able to score a camera! Can't wait to see'em!

TrooperPX wrote:Glad you were able to score a camera! Can't wait to see'em!

Ah sadly its not my camera. Ive just had some guys at game night each week take pictures when there is a camera up there.

I do plan to buy a new one very soon though as I really need it.

--------------------

2 new WIP weapon arms as of last week. They are the dual mini cannon arm (counts as twin heavy bolter) and a heat cannon arm (counts as either a multi melta or an inferno cannon.



I am open to suggestions.

More pics friday.

This stuff is just amazing! I know it just gives me more and more inspiration to work on my own ad mech stuff! I cant wait to see the new stuff too.. i might have to order one or two..

Mine arrived on Monday. It was shipped much earlier but USPS misrouted it to Ohio.

Anyhow, the kit arrived and I've managed to clean it up a little. Looks pretty good and as Trooper stated, most of the that youwould be used to seeing on a resin kit are actually small bumps on the surface of the parts. They're very easily cleaned off. There were some standard bubbles around what looks like may have been the pour points, but nothing beyond what I would expect from a "garage kit".

All in all I'm pleased with the kit and am looking forward to getting this assembled painted. Also looking forward to the new kit/parts, so I'll be watching this thread so that I can order another.

That's good news, and thanks for the feedback.

Omg, Love the kit! Greatly made, hope you will be making more stuff like this! The only thing i dont like are the heads, they dont really seem so scary and Killy

The more I look at mine and at the spare sentinel body that I have laying around, the more I'm considering using that Sentinel body as the head on my kit...

Hmmm... I haddn't thought of that.

How about a Dreadnaught torso? Or a Leman turret on end... I'll have to look in my bits bin now! (sound of digging)

TrooperPX wrote:Hmmm... I haddn't thought of that.

Yeah, my orginal plan was to scratchbuild a knight using the new sentinel crew compartment as the head since it includes a nice fully enclosed cockpit. Then I saw this kit. Comparing the sentinel body to the torso of this kit, it should fit just fine with the addition of a ball joint to the rear of the sentinel compartment.

Small update.

All the new weapon arms are done.
1 of the 2 new heads is done.
Bother new armor designs are done.

So, the new kit will have the choice of 3 heads, 8 different weapon arms (4 ranged and 4 CC) as well as 3 armor designs. *(studded, smooth with trim and layered plate)

Ive given all the parts to a friend to take pictures of today. (it sure is nice to work with someone at the 9-5 that doesnt care about actually working haha.

Received my kit a couple days ago. It looks great. The pictures really pay this glorious creation of the Omnissiah no justice. It's extremely detailed, and much larger actually than I imagined. I'm very excited to start building it, but I'm holding off until I see the new armor options, the techmarine armor really has my interest peaked. Keep up the awesome work, and I can't wait to purchase another one.

What were the prices on these. Me thinks me missed them (even tho i cant stop looking at this thread) or it seems your pming them out?

The techmarine plate armor is almost done. I hope to have all the new options out within the next 7 days.

PM sent with price.

These look quite nice, though like some others I'm not a great fan of the head and the shoulder studs. I would like a PM on the price please.

MarkoDoornbos wrote:These look quite nice, though like some others I'm not a great fan of the head and the shoulder studs. I would like a PM on the price please.

Ah yea, with the opinions on the head and armor style, the new options will be out within the week.

Each order will have the choice of 3 different heads, 3 different armor styles such as smooth and trimmed or layered plate like a tech marine. There will also be a total of 8 weapons, 4 CC and 4 ranged to choose from.

Due to the demand of the first kit, the new options are on a pre order basis. That way we (the caster and I) have an idea how much material we will need to keep up with demand.

We also do plan to start seling parts on their own. A good example is, say you bought the first kit but want 2 more new weapon arms, thats not a problem. Same goes for heads ad armor.

After this kit is fleshed out with all the options, the other knight variants will come out with justs as many of thier own options.

Oh and PM sent.

Got mine in - can't wait to work on this sucker!

Yay

---------------
*edit* this is for the PMs and Emails ive recieved..

Ok people I need to be clear on a few things.

My kit has NO gw parts.
My kit is over 800 grams and is why its 150 dollars.
My kit now has 8 weapon options, 3 armor options, 3 head options and soon there will be more torso, waist and leg options.

In all there will be a total of 32 combos.

Again, I want to be clear, my model was scratch built with ONLY plastic card, rod and putty. I used NO gw parts.

Also please note I do custom alterations now for peoples kits on demand. Check my site for pricing details and such but overall its generally not that much to alter a part or head to make it personal for the client wanting a kit.

I do sell worldwide with one of the lowest international shipping options around. And best of all, everyone that has ordered a kit so far has recieved it, even people across the world.

Question:

Do people want the option to magging the new weaopns?

It is very possible to go ahead and put the mag hole already in all the parts and provide the right size rare earth mags to be able to swap all the options. If people think its a good idea, ill start doig that now and including the mags with each sale.

At first I thought our kit was more expensive... But then I remembered our shipping rate. We charge only $5 for domestic shipping, but it costs us about $14 on average to ship, insure and track. That means our kits are really just four dollars different.

So it comes down to style. Do you want one that looks like an exact copy of the GW Epic one? Or do you want one that came from the creative vision of an artist? Personally, I'd like one that's never been seen before. What Matt came up with is just plain cool. I like it a lot.

We both offer to sell Internationally, so beyond our local core market, again it just comes down to style preference. Personally I think it’s great to have such a variety to choose from! My only concern is the waist weapons on the other seller's kit. They appear to be stock Heavy Bolters from a Razorback, with a Chimera wheel hub as the ammo drum. Cast-copying GW parts is a bit risky IMHO. That’s why everything as Matt said, in our kit, is scratch.

Can't wait to see the all the new options. How close are we to getting some pics? Keep up the great work guys. I love it.

ironfather83 wrote:Can't wait to see the all the new options. How close are we to getting some pics? Keep up the great work guys. I love it.

Pretty darn close. And then the actual cast version will be so fast afterwards it might make some heads spin haha.

Are there gonna be pictures of the new upgrades available soon.

Wow! I didn't know the knights are so huge! are they as large as a warhound titan?

No, Knight's are not that big.

Our Knights are around 8" tall.
The FW Warhound is 10-1/2" tall.
The FW Reaver is 18" tall.

ok cool! thanks man. Good models there, just wish it a little cheaper though
