I haven't really followed it, so know almost 0 on it.

I am pretty surprised you don't know about it. Skirmish style games, self contained one box game that can turn into a larger scale game. Easy rules ,great minis , awesome terrain ( very necromunda ) modular style.

Faction expansions are already available. I'll take some pics as I unbox it.

Better pics to follow.
Tons of terrain, unspured minis , rubber game Matt included

Bring on the new codex

I need some help with the paint scheme for my imperial knight .

Above is a picture of my army and color/paint scheme.

I was leaning towards my current color scheme, but now that I have picked up the new white dwarf and read some fluff on the mechs I am not so sure any more.

What do you guys think? I am open to any and all suggestions.

I am heavily leaning towards the current camo scheme but wanted to hear some other opinions.

Thanks in advance

A camo titan?

You can't see me! I'm covered in bushes and stripy lines! I'm just a really big tree. Those massive weapons? Branches.

IRL camo on vehicles is a really good idea. Not because it makes them stealthy, but because it makes the outlines of different parts of the vehicle harder to see, and thus the enemy has a harder time shooting at vulnerable spots.

Personally, I'd go for a slightly different colour scheme, so that it remains tied in with the army, but also retains the feel of being the 'free agent' it is.

Maybe a campaign badge in the grey and black camo, with the rest of the knight in the colours of the house/etc.

Bronze against Black and white is a nice contrast maybe?

That's one of the schemes in the 4 warhound mega build, looks great.

Here is my argument for a camo titan

Red with yellow and black chevrons
Can't remember the name of the house it is from but that is the scheme and I have the GW version waiting until this one is 100% completed.

Anyone pick a knight up this weekend?

I picked one up - LOVE IT.

I am probably going to get two and have my dreamforge act as the commander.

The kits look really nice. Are you going to glue it down or try and keep the arms and cockpit removable?

That does look nice in red....so no camo then?

Red is camo on Mars

^ I saw that and instinctively looked for the like button I'm planning on getting one and using pretty much all my spare csm on the base, World War Z swarm-style...

Un-surprisingly, GW took a lot of design tips from DFG if you ask me. The arms have a lock-n-key system, almost identical to those of the Leviathan. The head is a different matter - they way it is designed it will be a pain to make it removable.

Fortunately, the helmets/faceplates are really nice and could be easily magnetized to the head. Though personally, I truly like the unmasked face. Looks very mechanicus-y, but you can paint it up in a lot of ways that make it stand out well.

I'm going to re-start my blog thread with this little beauty. There will be plenty of photos of what it looks like and how it goes together if you need some reference pics (as I don't want to take over your thread).

GW has a really nice YouTube video on painting a knight titan.
Definitely worth a watch for inspiration.

No camo. I used the minitare paints in stages plus a wash of nula oil ( I think that is what it is called now ) andthen a quick re spray of the brightest red I have.
The pictures don't do it justice.

Next is the metal parts and pistons , then yellow and black chevrons.

I am really happy with the minitare paints. Four shades , no thinning, quick drying time and really nice coating. I'm even more impressed.

The arms will feature the chevron patterns left to right complete chevrons.

Plenty of taping and masking in my future since I rushed to assemble the model instead of skeleton first armor second.

I strongly suggest painting and assembly in stages. Much much easier to paint.

Oh well lesson learned I guess.

Stay tuned for more painting WIP pictures

Chevron pattern done.
Loads of weathering done.
Still tons of work to do , not to mention the arms.

Feedback is very appreciated!

Anyone have any feedback? Good or bad I am 50/50 on the outcome.

Any help would be appreciated

My feedback: The hazard striping doesn't look very clean/straight, did you use tape or freehand? Also, are you using flash photography? Its picking up the gloss paint and making it really hard to see what I'm looking at.

Also, you know that kit is huge compared to an actual knight model, right?

Thanks for the feedback. The tape ran as I was airbrushing so that is why all the paint chips were added and it looks more free handed.

Minitaire paints are a touch glossy so mat varnish will need to be applied after I decide to keep it or not.

Also I bought the dreamforge titan way before the GW model came out.

I think I am going to sand it off but that is why I am looking for feedback.

Thanks again

Anyone else... You will not hurt my feelings.

I think if you give it a good overall weathering once you are done they will looks good and break up the wall o red.

Good point paul. I think the arms will add a lot to the overall look.

It's hard to tell but I have already weathered the gak out of it. I think a dull coat will help it too.

Keep the feedback comin boyz

Do you have plans for more stripes if you leave them? Shoulder pads maybe?

Honestly I'm afraid to add anything else. I was thinking the chainsword possibly.

Once the arms are on it isn't as noticeable.

I will snap a picture with them on later and you can see what I am talking about

Took some fine sand paper to the stripes and I am loving result.

Here is a picture with the arms on.

Leaving the arm shoulder armor black , weapons metallics , chainsword hazard stripes.

The technique on the stripes does look fantastic!

Can we get some more pics - closeups? - and maybe a quick "how to" too?

Sorry... Image upload issues
Stay tunes

Almost done! Decals at some point and base left to do .
I love the way it turned out .

Comments , suggestions, are always appreciated

Looks pretty good. Needs a few knights to pal around with next.
