So for the past week I've been working on this knight and something about it just doesn't seem right, I can quite put my finger on it. Any comments or criticisms would be great.

Nice i did my knight in death guard colours dosnt look as cool.

very nice. Looks good, especially the oxidization on the copper.

I think it looks completed to me, very well actually

happy wargaming,

One thing though, I thought knights only belonged to their own houses and not the legions/chapters. On the other hand, who cares?

Thanks for the replies guys .
I've had someone point out that the model looks a bit bland which is exactly what I couldn't put my finger on lol. I'm going to try offset this a bit with the base.

Currently I'm trying to think up ideas for the base, I want it to have a bit more colour and life about it so there is a good contrast between the base and the model but I haven't settled on an idea yet. Currently I'm thinking some sort of forest area with a water feature but we'll see what happens.

On my next knight I'll be changing how the white/blue armoured sections are done, I'll be adding 2-3 layers of Typhus corrosion before painting and finishing off with a wash of Argrax earthshade. Here's an example:
