He looks brilliant.

Love the way the limited pallet brings it up a notch. Red and Black just works.

Great freehand work on the banner.

Thank you for the comment Cam!

Okay, now for something completely different:

I've bought a Imperial Knight quite some time ago. My plan was to make it a Freeblade knight who is not part of a knightly house. But I didn't had a good feel of how the colour scheme would be, so it gathered dust somewhere in my room. But yesterday it suddenly it hit me on how my Knight would look. So would love to hear your oppinions!

The colour scheme is not really one that you would expect to see on a knight:


PSYCH!!

Yes, Dark Eldar. Now, as much as I dislike these pesky elves, I totally dig dem colours and I think, with a few alterations, they would look smashing on a knight!! So today I took a knight picture off of Google and quickly edited it in Photoshop. The real model is going to be a bit more blue-ish but this will give you an idea how it's going to look like:



Mind you, all the heraldry is removed on this picture but there will be custom heraldry on the shield, banner, shoulder pads and the legs. And with that in mind I thought those red stripes made him perhaps a bit too busy, so for the second one I toned it down a bit:



Here's my initial idea! So what do you guys think? Will it work on a knight? Are the red stripes on his back and upper legs too much?

Okidoki! I've finished Huron's pet squig (the alternate Hamadrya- I think I will call him Hammy) last week! Oh boy this little fella was fun to paint! The details on this model are amazing.

I tried to do some fancy pants OSL on this model as he's charging up some psychic powers. With some Lahmian Medium I blend Lothern Blue with the red. For depth I used Drakenhof Nightshade sparingly. Then mixed Lorthern with white to do the highlights and pure white for the eyes. I had to wet blend the antenna with water as I didn't have any Lahmian at hand then, but it worked just as well. On to the pics:









With Hammy done now, I can work on Huron himself! So project Waaagh! Black'eart is nearing it's end!

Thanks for looking guys and C&C welcome!

Love it; cute and intimidating at the same time. I want one.

Merry Christmas everybody!!

It has been ages since I dropped by here but here are some things I've been working on!











Yes! Project Waaagh! Black'eart is finally done! But that's not all, I've also painted up a test Salamander! From ofcourse, the Betrayal at Clath box:

Merry Christmas bud.

All looking outstanding. Blackheart looks brilliant.

Black'eart is looking great, I really love his techno squiq familiar.

The Salamander looks awesome too, are you doing the whole box as Sallies?
