Finally i found the time to make pictures of my Imperial Knight. Feel free to leave some c & c


Not much is known about the origin of this knight called Ol' Rusty. Rumors say he might be a descendant of House Aramos from the almost dead planet Raptura.


Others claim to know that it must be the the freeblade called Emerald Marauder who got lost in the loki sector centuries ago.











and now it comes with context for the pose. this might also be the better angle.

Excellent! Although I agree the base needs something else to complement the amazing paintwork.

That's a great looking Knight!
I really like the pose, but agree if there was some poor cultist or ork below about to get squished it would bring it together more.
Although, it is funny to think the pilot is a drunkard.

Great painting, but as others have said the pose is a little distracting; it looks like the knight should have a parachute attached, or a banana peel under the raised foot

Paintjob = Awesome
Freehand and decals = Awesome
Weathering = Awesome

Pose = Awful

What exactly is the model doing in this pose? The base gives no indication of a foe getting stomped or an elevated terrain feature. He looks like he's flapping his wings to get airborne or just dropped from a considerable height, neither of which is good.

haha, he's definitely not dancing or something else. this is a stomping pose - imagine some bullies stomping sandcastles...
the psycological effect of this pose becomes operative in every close combat against this knight, trust me

He looks like he stepped in dog poo and is looking for a patch of grass to wipe it off upon.



Paint job is ace though

...or a patch of chaos cultists or orks or dark eldar... these guys would be pretty handy for the finer areas with all the spikey and pointy parts attached to their armour

You really should add some squished model to that base.

I like it all! At least the legs aren't typical and you did something else with them!!

Paint work is great! I noticed a bit on the chainsword that actually looks like a welded bit of patch work, is that on the model or did you do that up yourself?

I like the paint job, looks really good.

The pose, well, without something under it that it is attempting to crush, what comes to mind is this:



"Crane technique, Daniel-san. Crane Technique."

Thanks for all the positive comments and the jokes about the pose. i was aware of this because that was the most aksed question to the local gw store staff where the knight was on display during a painting contest.

i made the patch from a piece of 0.6mm plasticard which i surrounded with a thin roll of greenstuff. that greenstuff was given texture with a paperclip afterwards for that weld-seam-look.

HAHAHAHA! according to the rules the knight can kick a tank D6 inch away but that didn't happen to me in any game i played before :(

I love the paint and stomping idea



I think what throws it off a bit is the arms. The arms are flayed out, like someone who is falling and trying to regain thir balance. I see where you may have been going with throwing the arms up to accentuate the stomp, like a fantasy giant might do. If the arms were a little tighter to the body, it would look like he was more in control and deliberately stomping.

I'm totally stealing the stomping giant idea for my next Imperial Knight.

Thanks again for all the positive comments, and sorry for the belated reply!

That phrase is backfiring during most of the games. A friend could destroy the knight once and now there is "we serve pain for breakfast" written on his manticore tank...

I used GW's Incubi Darkness as a primer and two layers of Sotek Green followed by a very light drybrushing with russ grey

Ok, a fantasy giant works too... my inspiration was the random bully stomping or kicking sandcastles. And actually i'm appreciating that you stral the pose! Every pose is better than GW's boring pose. But you could also try to build a jumping knight

Seen in it's proper context, where it is posed to stomp whatever unfortunate foe you get into contact with in your Warhammer battles, I think the pose is brilliant! Great work!

I disagree. The last picture shows the flaws. When stomping you are over the top of something.. Pushing your weight onto it. The knight is leaning backwards which looks unnatural. Also, and this is the main thing to me, his face is still looking forward. It should be looking at the target. Dont get me wrong the paint job is very good, but i couldnt have it on my desk.. Id have to repose it

I feel bad after reading the comments as youre getting rinsed for the pose, but it really does need reposing. It would look better if his foot was on the ground but with a body/bodies being crushed under it.
