@youwasock haha, don't see it as a chore! Knights are meant to be enjoyed

Thanks for the compliment, howie. I am looking forward to seeing it finished, too.

You're right, zahnib. They are great models to work on.

youwashock,

It looks great, like it has been moving towards the battlefield, with gears working through their lubrication and dirt and dust starting to get stuck to the carapace.

Cheers,

CB

Dude the freehand on your knight is just gorgeous you're right it's nerve-wracking, but so worth it

Thank you, CB! It is definitely meant to look a bit worn and grimy, as I figure his Freeblade status and wandering nature mean the Knight gets a little less TLC than it normally would. And if it takes me much longer to finish, I think it will have REAL dust stuck to the carapace...

Thanks, Ynneadwraith! I will admit I am quite happy with how it is all turning out so far. Just need to keep it up a bit longer.

Almost there. Shoulders are done and glued in place. Just the launcher and the base to go.









Thanks for looking!

youwashock,

Really a solid paint job there.

Cheers,

CB

Those shoulders are seriously good, great work!

Thank you very much, Captain, Tyranid Horde. It has been a pretty rewarding experience.

The launcher has been painted and glued in place. Just needs to be chipped and the Knight itself will be fully painted. Then it will be on to the finishing touches (base and dust.)

The knight is looking great dude, the colours choices hit a nice blend between flashy and more toned down realism that'll really make it a great centrepiece on any table or display stand.

The shoulder pads are great looking, well done. I’m still in love with the green of the main body though . Can’t wait to see it all based and dusted up.

Looks great youwashock, well done!! Hope you're happy with it.

Thank you very much, guys! I am pretty stoked on it, especially now that it is all together. Speaking of which, here is a quick pic with the launcher installed. Now if I can just get it based without any mishaps. Also starting to wonder if my phone takes better pictures than my camera.



Thanks for looking!

Do white dots on the tips of missiles mean they are veterans? How’s that even possible?

just messing with you, it looks great on the model, really like the checks on the side of the launcher as well.

youwashock,

Looking great so far.

Good luck on the basing...make sure you pin for strength.

I have also started to take photos with the phone as it seems to handle light and artificial light much better than my old little digital camera.

Cheers,

100% digging it. That checker pattern on the launcher must have been a pain, looks great though. Great job.

Thank you very much for the compliments, all!

IF, the checks were easy. They are a transfer from one of the Space Marine sheets. Just had to trim it for length and to fit around the points.

Beautiful knight

Great looking knight and a very sneaky way of using the SM transfer sheet to do some of the dirty work

What is the plan for the base? Do you have a specific theme in mind or not yet?

Thank you, Cam, Tyranid Horde. The plan is to have the base match, roughly, the bases of my Space Marines, since he goes with them. I imagine any Imperial forces I paint will share this style. As seen here, since he is finally done. I present, piloting the Veritas Rex, last Knight of House Galvorn, slayer of His enemies, Strohm Galvorn.



















I am a little iffy on the phone pics. Some glare due to my lighting setup which I am unsure of how to compensate for with the phone. Maybe some diffusers? Enough about the pics, he is finally done. My desk looks empty without him. Been a lot of work, but it was very enjoyable. I like how he looks with his little brothers. Thanks to all of you who have left comments along the way. On to other models, and soon the beginning of Knight number two.

Thanks for looking!

A quick shot of things that I have been picking at while working on the Knight. As always, thanks for looking.

The knight looks great with his little helpers .

Warp spiders

Very impressive work on the knight. Well done!

Knight with the SM looks ace, really great match up, army shot be nice.

Like the new models looking forward to seeing them progress.

Fantastic Knight youwashock.

Ready for display.

Cheers,

CB

Thank you very much, guys!

Cam, sadly an army shot would be just like the one above plus around 4 more Marines. Not a whole lot done for the Imperium.

Happy New Year, Dakka!

Took a break from current projects to rectify a situation that has gone on for far too long. Zoats are one of my favorite things that GW has ever done. Back in the day they not only looked cool, but crushed on the battlefield as well. Plus, they were sometime allies of the Eldar. Anyway, over the long years I have amassed a small collection of both 40K and Fantasy zoats, all of which have been painted over those same long years with the odd exception of these two. I was looking over the shelves (and shelves) of unpainted models and these two suddenly stood out as a glaring wrong to be put right. So I painted them. Tried to knock them out fast, and nothing too fancy since I wanted them done and they have to fit in with models painted over a period of several years. But at long last all of my zoats are painted.







As soon as I unearth the rest of them from behind the wall of displaced items (home rennovation is great), I will put up some group shots. And a quick look at things to come, as I have started building the 2nd Knight from Renegade.



Again, Happy New Year, and as always, thanks for looking!

There are few things more retro then zoats. Nice to see the old guys with fresh paint.

I’ve got one bumming around somewhere unpainted myself. One of these days the right painting challenge will call him to battle.

Good to see some zoat love in the house

Happy New Year!

Need to see a pic of all the zoats together!
