Subject: Sacristans unite - here be Imperial Knights
My only issue with the Dominus Class knights is I'm not sure how I would entirely convert them. Obviously can't leave them stock, but I don't think the dunecrawler leg piece would be big enough to give them digitigrade legs too. My other three Questoris have them so it would be appropriate to match.
Maybe something like the Stormsurge with the big giant harpoon gun made bigger and slung over top the shoulder.

If I remember, I will post a photo of them together later, as I happen to have both partially assembled.
Some sort of heavily trimmed defiler legs are probably a better bet.
Not the full legs. If you can see on the big knight I posted, there's a middle bit between what is normally a normal person-like leg. That single middle piece that makes the digitigrade leg is just a piece from dunecrawler legs.

Ah , I see what you mean now, youre using the "groin" fixing.

Should work, the Dominus has more guns but it isn't meaningfully bigger then the Questoris.

Also got to try out my valiant in a 1750pt game vs my brother.
Spoiler:
They kinda just waltzed up the board deleting units.
can't figure out how that movement worked out. Middle knight has piece of terrain ahead it. Yet next picture it's actually AHEAD others? Okay maybe the others moved like 4" but still that terrain piece doesn't look that short that going up and down(6" movement if it's 3" tall) seems feasible nor going around unless that moved distance is much smaller than it seems.

Looks to me like the bottom one moved to the middle and the middle one moved to the bottom. Confusing, but you can see the same gun from the middle one now on the bottom in the last picture.

Ok, I do see now, I totally misunderstood.
Given the bulkier look of the Dominus, they might be a bit small as is, but if split and made to look thicker it wouldnt be so bad.
It's actually pretty easy to miss I guess. I've had people pick up the model and inspect it and not notice the legs were different. People that have built knights themselves.
The Dominus is still a bit of a ways off for me, but I have some ideas at least. My habit of never leaving a model stock continues!

Gallant (bottom knight first picture) charged the cultists (unpictured) then moved forward next turn (pictured),The warden (middle knight first picture) sidestepped the building and ended up where the Gallant started.

Finished up my Wolfigers yesterday... heads, shoulders and the frost cannon are from Gadgets Plus on shapeways.
Future knights will be 'stock Terryn' so I don't get the stink eye at GW events which are far more likely to occur nearby with the Warhammer Citadel opening.

Has anyone with multiple knights done them in all different schemes like old medieval knight heraldry. Think like Bretonnians or something. I was thinking of doing that, I imagine it would be more work but I think it could come out very nice.

Multiple Knights with their own heraldry/markings you say? Yes, I've done that.. started with an idea of having the colours of the five Chromatic Dragons as an idea.. and it's kinda wandered from there. The rings on the green knight are a framework for some sculpting I have yet to get around to, where I create some pools of vile chemicals and pestilent filth.

I've not built anything but the Castellan, so those legs might have been normal.

Leg plate greens bit dark so maybe redo those

Since it's relevant to knights, if people didn't see...they FAQ'd a Knight Lance to give 3 command points with 1 titanic imperial knight and 6 command points if you have 3 titanic imperial knights.

Wasn't aiming to hijack it at all. Just something easy to miss. Didn't see any other posts on it, but this is a knight thread that's pretty active. Just thought I would point it out.
