Hi guys !

The first pic of my Imperial Knight, aka Imperator Gloria. More pics to come during the week.

Comments and advices are welcome, it is the first time I paint something such huge

Great start - the colour scheme works really well.
Can't wait to see it finished.

Love the colors!

Great colour scheme, love to see more

Thanks guys, hope to finish it 'till next week !

Loving the colors so far. I still haven't painted mine, and I picked up mine when they first dropped.

An update, so far so good !

Still have to finish the arms and the "top" of this project, but I am really happy with the color scheme, works well.

I'd really do something to break up the large cream-coloured area on top of the knight. For the rest I really like the choice of colours.

Also, paint your sig somewhere on the knight ('evil only leads to further evil'?)

Yeah, the top is not finished yet : I just put it to have a better picture, but it is still only primed.

I will also use the transfer sheet and parts from my grey knights to customize it a lot more

Looking great! Keep up the great work!

New pics, left arms finished, I decided to modify the heraldy : looked like the national flag of France (and as I am from France, I don't want my friends to harass me with that during games )

Here we go for an update : Left arm and shoulder are finished, same thing for the banner. Still have to finish the right arm and the top part of the armor.

Wait. I thought Abyssus abyyssum invocat was, "Deep calls to deep." Isn't it from Psalm 42?

Oh well, my reasoning was that literally translated, it's 'the abyss invokes the abyss'. The abyss is common symbolism for damnation or evil, so I thought it probably meant something like 'damnation leads to further damnation', or 'when you take one step on the road of damnation, you'll inevitably take more'. But then again, my Latin is crap, so you're probably right.

To not be completely off-topic: the knight's looking great! Looking forward to seeing it finished (and hopefully in action)!

@ Noremac : Yes, this is a strange signature for a Grey Knight profile, but I also play CSM and I did not change this sentence when I modified my profile

But as say Brother Michael, I could be a warning for a Grey Knight novice : look a single time in the darkness and you would be damned forever

Thanks for your comment and the painting job, this is a big project, and I will be really pleased when it will be over. In action this summer !

Very nice indeed, bravo sir.

I actually think it is fitting to a Grey Knight.
I was just confused on its actual translation. Ha.

Still on the way, I have nearly achieved my objective : (good) tabletop standard

Some details to finished, and still have to do the base...

Looking fabulous as always, good sir!

Looks great and clean!
