Thanks guys. Anything else I should add or do? I encountered a little hiccup - I ran out of spray. So I haven't managed to do anything else on the Warehouse or Marine yet. However I have finished off my Malcador Defender.




Scale shot next to a normal Russ. The Russ is another Ebay rescue but will eventually be my Commissar tank

Im loving it!

Been a while. Kinda got burnt out of the hobby for a while due to some real life shenanigans but I'm back on the hobby horse with some some questionable WIP pics!

I bought one those new fangled Armiger Warglaives with the full intention of converting it into a servitor Forklift for my warehouse but when I got it I realised it was a bit big......... then a mate of mine said he was going to get the Forgebane box and did I want the Armigers.......... He also had a spare Knight he didn't need.......... and, yeah, well.... a Knight army was born. Yet another army to chug away at. No, I haven't finished the Mordians either.

First up... Virtutem Ignis (AKA Sergeant Fire Power) Nicknamed by a Cadian Regiment.





I made this guy ages ago. Long before the leaked pics of the new Helverins. What a stroke of luck they actually made rules for my model!!! I will make another one of these but I need to order some more Storm Cannons.





Another arm swap using a spare Leviathan claw.



Ugh, really, stock GW models? Well, yeah............

The knight paint job Is great.i really like the understated chipping going on.

Those arm conversions are nice. Were they pretty plug and play?

Cheers guys. The paint jobs is pretty much all WIP. The chips still need work and more battle damage needs adding.

As for the conversions, yeah, really easy. The armiger upper arm sits snuggly into the Leviathan elbow joint. Almost like it was made for it. I did cut the arm back a bit though after a bit of thought (the arm was thin) but its simple. I'll take some pics on my next Knight

Sweet. I’m not looking to buy forgebane but want some ccw guys.

Some more detail work on the Knight..







Not sure what to put on his left shoulder pad. Ideas?

There have been a lot of free handed murals being put on shoulder pads, do you have a favourite piece of art you could do?

Well, you seem to have over estimated my panting ability there Radu!! I went with the Chevrons instead!!








I've also started work on one of the Armigers (Helverin). This is Major: FIREPOWER[u]

Crazy good work here - awesome INQ in the oft-neglected scale and great conversions on the 28mm guard vehicle as well - truly inspirational stuff!!

Wow, mate, that grey is sexy as hell on those mini-knights!

Ooooh that Malcador is smexy-as mate, good job!

Also liking the Helverin arm-swaps. Was thinking about picking up a couple Armigers myself, this may have given me all the additional motivation I required...

Amazing blog! I love the green that you've used on the Knight here and the Termies and Landy on page one, really smashing stuff

Right, been quiet for a while now but I have been tinkering away in the background. Not much painted as I just don't really get the chance anymore but...... well................ KNIGHTS! Or in this case, just the one. But there will be more to follow shortly. Much more

That is a cool knight , but the first pic makes it look like the giant hand and sword are being held by the nipple gun .

Very interesting conversion!

Thanks guys. I'm going for a very Black Templar feel for these guys. I need to grab myself some Bretonnian shields and paraphernalia and the a load of chains. A bit late for pictures but I have 2 Gallants on the go, 3 Castellans, 2 Errants and a Preceptor all in different stages of completion.

Sword and board guy looks ace, what bretonnian bits are you after? Message me
How many knights are you going for in total, is there a fluff formation you are aiming for?

Well, I'm looking at 9 Knights and 4 Armigers to start with. That's 5000pts. Once that's done I'll maybe look at getting some FW ones. Especially if FW does some expansion kits for the new GW model kits like the Dominus class or Amigers. Id love some combat Armigers!!! Or different weapons for the Dominus Class. Especially some seriously over the top Gatling Cannons or something

The list is Essentially...

Knight Gallant, Storm Spear Missiles, Melta Gun, 2+ Armour save Relic, +1A WL Trait [412]
Knight Gallant, Iron Storm Missiles, Heavy Stubber [370]
Knight Gallant, Iron Storm Missiles, Heavy Stubber [370]

Knight Errant. Storm Spear Missiles, Melta Gun, Chainsword [453]
Knight Errant. Storm Spear Missiles, Melta Gun, Chainsword [453]

Knight Castellan, 4 Shield Breaker Missiles, Siege Breaker Cannon, Re-Roll 1's to hit WL Trait, Headsmans Mark Relic [593]
Knight Castellan, 4 Shield Breaker Missiles, Siege Breaker Cannon [593]
Knight Castellan, 4 Shield Breaker Missiles, Siege Breaker Cannon [593]

Knight Preceptor, Storm Spear Missiles, Melta Gun, Relic Gauntlet, 4++ WL Trait. [482]
2x Warglaives, Heavy Stubber [328]
2x Helvurins, Heavy Stubber [348]


The Gallants and Errants are the "Get in your Face" department. The Castellans deal with anything that will cause the Gallants/Errants grief. The Preceptor and Armigers go around and mop up or steal objectives and cause General Havoc where needed.

All the knight work is fantastic- I've a Reaver hanging about somewhere, but I haven't worked up the nerve to start it yet. I'm watching your work- especially color schemes- very carefully.

That Malcador- wow! Looking at all the armament (love the lasguns hanging onto the side skirts- just don't want to have to clean them every stop!) I think you forgot to strap a slingshot behind the commander's hatch!


Really well done, everything!

Thanks man, a Reaver, why haven't you done it yet??? There seems to a common theme with Reavers. 3 Mates of mine each have a Reaver and none of them are completed yet.

Ok, so I've been quiet for a Month but I have been busy. Pictures speak louder than words so I'll just put up pictures. The base isn't 100% finished yet as I need to add some water effect to the pool in the middle. I also need to add a House symbol to his left shoulder (Iron Skull with Cog tooth)









Now I just need to finish his accompanying 8 Armigers!!

WIP on the Helverins. Pants pictures but, hey, they're just WIP pics

Bloody marvellous Lord B

These will be a thing to behold when all together!

Hey Davidian, long time no see (Speak!). Hope all's well!

Thanks man, I hope so - Truth be told they are a diversion from my 'real' Knight army that I'm slowly building up. This one is 'only' going to be 2500pts. I have 4 WarGlaives and a Crusader. Then that's it for these chaps. Although I'm more and more tempted to do a small Iron Warriors army to go with them............... Is this how Madness starts?

\o/ it has been a while I've been mega flakey, hehe.

I think it's is you know and I would never encour........ DO EEEEEET!

Sorry, been on a training course, had exams and started a new job! So, a bit hectic. Still, you don't care!! Here's some toy soldiers!

My Valiant finally has some friends. Still not sure they're finished as I want to add some transfers to them - I just don't know what :/




Also started another Knight for my next Knightly house. This time a Warden (He'll go with the sword and shield guy). I've magnetised the Gatling cannon just to give me some choice between games/Codex. Everything else is glued as I'm pretty set on the look of the model with the Gauntlet.






Next up on the painting schedual is 4 Warglaives and a Crusader for the Iron Warrior themed Knights.

Work on the Iron Warriors Crusader!





Oh yeah, it is magnetised baby!

Knights are currently being constructed en mass.

That is a lot of knights.

Wow!
