Expanding the household, must say i'm impressed with the posability of the dominus kit

Ooh! Very nice pose indeed!

I'm having a little headscratch.

Has anyone ever bought this https://www.forgeworld.co.uk/en-GB/Mechanicum-Knight-Battleline ?

I'm wondering why its cheaper than the individual prices, £380 instead of £435, I can only assume its because it comes in 1 box, rather than 3, but boxes arent £55.

Bundle deal. Very common marketing method. Get people spend more by giving them discount. Even gw does that with start collecting boxes.

I assume the idea is that you get a discount for buying in bulk.

If you buy a Magaera and Styrix bundle you also save some money, but only £30.

I mean, the fact that GW generally DOESN'T reduce prices in it's bundle deals is the unusual one.

Exactly!

A quick reminder, today is The Big Knight Painting Night and it should kick off any moment now.

Wonder if they will tease any of the new FW Knight kits.

Please do tell for those who missed the entire show. I only caught the first twelve or so minutes before my internet service provider cut us off until.. just now. First Twitch thing I want to see in ages and I'm denied.

But at least I finally got my Valiant done, so there's that.

Imperial Freeblade Vengeance Eternal, ready to exact retribution upon the filthy green tides that brought her house low while she was on pilgrimage.









Next up.. a pair of Helverins and a Warglaive to accompany this beast into battle.

Thats lookling goed, nice with the chainguns.

Where did you get those decals? Looks custom made

All decals are from GW. The roses and scripture are from the sisters of battle decal sheet, skull with crossed swords is from the Baneblade kit, the white shield with blood drop is from Dark Imperium and everything else is from the Armiger and Dominus sheets.

It was the rose that had me confused, never seen a sisters of battle decal sheet

Has anybody got a link to the recent "normal" Knight Name Generator they did? Cannot find it anywhere.

Ugh...they couldn't even spell "Emperor" correctly in their own table.

Tangentially knight-related, I've been working on a "terrain" piece in CAD in between assembling new Knight models. It's a "small" drop keep for 3 Knights.

That's cool. Can definitely see something like that being a neat piece to put on the table when you are playing.

Aaaaaand done!

House terryn and house guard

I’m working on a thing....

here is what I'm working on;

Group Shot


Knight Errant




Knight Castellan




Warglaives


Guy in charge!

My finished World Eaters Knight. Built and converted by me, painted by Angry Wargamer.

Next up is an Armiger and eventually a Dominus,

Finished assembly on the non-admech Atropos.

A little while back I finished work on the first of my own custom Knightly House, House Heraan. Here he is:

The model is fully magnetized to use any combination of weapons. I plan to do at least two more Questoris-class with similar paint scheme, and probably one of each type of Dominus-class eventually, plus at least a couple of each type of Armiger. I might eventually look into the Forge World Knights, but I have no immediate plans to do so.

Here's a conversion WIP that's been on my desk lately, I'll be playing it as a Styrix with "Siege-Wrecker w/ twin Rad guns":

WIP on my Renegade Crusader "Bannockburn"

My knight house slowly coming together


Thanks for hiding the picture dump, I should have done that

Happy to see a resurgence in activity!

On my end, the most recent Knight-related thing I've worked on until the heatwave and Kill Team hit, was a dismounted noble for my Valiant, still WIP:



Gotta finish her before the 20th or I'm dead meat.

Just ordered a Stryx and Magaera before we get the exciting new FW prices.

Joachim, you inspired me to do similar with my Dominus, the knee and hip extensions. Got a Castellan earlier this week, and then ordered the bits for upgrades.

And then, by inspiration and experimentation - anybody who knows me knows I have a thing for muzzle brakes and guns with "character" to them - I decided to mess around with the shoulder turrets. I didn't like the originals, and went through my B&S bits for ideas. I thought of the Light Gatlings, but I only have two and it didn't look quite right.. and then I found a pair of the Twin Light Machine Cannons.. and fiddled with them. A little trimming, a little filing, some fitting, and then some putty, and here we are.

YES, I know the guns are sideways, they'll be turned in due time so they align properly.

Nice work converting the cannons
