This just helps prove the unofficial Grey Knights motto:
"When faced with an enemy, speak softly and tote around a huge cannon to blow him to shredded chunks of plasma."

**Moltar**

Plasma Cannon dude looks great. I love the swirling energy stored in his backpack. Great stuff, Knightley!

**Knightley**

@Daxx - Thanks, I'm glad you like it

@Swordwind - Great line I like "walk softly and shoot an hurring great big cannon"

@Moltar - Thanks for noticing I thought I'd do something a little different with that panel, figured a shot of some kind of swirly/lightning could fit in there

Update: Thunderfire WIP 2, base colors and wash done.

**inmygravenimage**

PC looks corking I particularly like how you've made the join look like a surge of energy or something. Clever stuff.

Liking the T-Cannon

**Gitsplitta**

I have two of those sitting around just waiting to be built...

**Lorna**

Hey knightley.

Just got home, lovely surprise waiting inside. Your squad arrived today. Only thing broken was sword arm on the libby looking dude.

Gotta say, your painting looks amazing on here. In real life it is completely jaw dropping.

Yours are coming along nicely got two ust about finished, should have the rest done by the rest of the weekend.

**Knightley**

@Graven - Cheers man, it was an accident but one that looks semi decent

@M.K - Cheers

@Gits - They are a complete nightmare to assemble, are they metal or resin (in fact do they even make them in finecast?)

@Lorna - Oh wow, they got to your neck of the woods quickly! how badly was the break on the squad leader (he's the one with the staff) something easy enough to fix I hope?

Update: first stage grey done

**nerdfest09**

nice progress dude, the tfc will look awesome with your trademark style, and cannon guy is nicely done!

when do you think the cannon will be done? and have you done or worked on the techmarine gunner guy? I can't wait to see how you do him :-)

**daxx367**

Nerdfest has a good point whats happing with the techmarine?? O and looking good.

**Knightley**

@NF - I think I should be able to get the cannon completed this week all going well, I did the Techmarine ages ago but I may need to revisit him a bit later to make sure all the grey is done correctly.

@Daxx - Cheers, I'll try get some pictures of the Techmarine up a bit later

Update: second stage grey done

**Norn King**

Fantastic as usual Knightley. Just noticed, 30,000 Gallery votes? Solid Effort.

**Gitsplitta**

Moving along nicely... this should help when it's time to do my own.

**Lorna**

@ Knightly, it's almost as if the emperors personal thunderhawk dropped them off. And that would explain the scorch marks outside my house. And the whole sword arm had come off, dab of glue and good as new.

loving the thunderfire cannon.

Also, your squad will be delayed as i'm having to move for a new job so possible 2 weeks before done. Probably sooner, but would rather not risk the guess.

**inmygravenimage**

Thunderfire ticking over nicely. Like the blog name change too...

**Knightley**

@Norn King - Thanks man, its been a long slog looking through all those gallery pics.

@Gits - Thanks, my advice. run away, run away fast this thing is a nightmare...

@Lorna - Wouldn't you know it, out of all the marines I assembled that was the only arm not to have been pinned, imagine the chances eh. Congrats on the new job btw I look forward to more updates when you get started on them

@Graven - Yeah I was taking a trip down memory lane and a lot of the comments were about crisp and clean coverage. Oh and after reading Git's guide on blogging "give it a catchy name" I figured I best come up with one, not original I know but every one should get the jist of it.

Update: highlights done, not long now

**leohart**

That thunderfire cannon is looking so good I want to yank out mine and repaint it :(.

**Casey's Law**

Can't wait to see that cannon up on it's ~~feet~~ tracks.

**Knightley**

@Leohart - Cheers, I do have to say its a right pain to paint up.

@LSC'L - Tracks ahoy!

Update: It's done now

With Techmarine

**Casey's Law**

It looks amazing, mate, but it looks even better next to the Techmarine!

**inmygravenimage**

Cracking. Oddly my favourite bit is the edge highlighting on the wall_e light on top. Can we get a shot of the servo harness pretty please?

**Gitsplitta**

Outstanding work Knightley! Looks fantastic! Now wasn't that worth all the trouble??

**leohart**

Love the tracks and the gears details :-) So much better than my typical boltgun metal => wash :(

**Swordwind**

Now that's what I call a gun!

Tarantula someday?
