Hello,
Just thought I would share my Imperial Knight, still a bit to go but I'm really happy with the arms.



I will be doing some work on the top, sadly the gun has a higher angel than I would have wanted, but I cba to do anything about it.
The top wont be glued, so I will have a plain option for it aswell.

Update 2:

I have done some work on the top, I had some different ideas for the gun, but in the end I went for the simple and plain gun. Then I added some exhaust pipes to the back, some armor on the top, I also added the hatch from the Imperial Knight because I like it.
For the shoulders I have ordered some Taurox missile launchers, one for each shoulder. I hope these will be in proportion with everything else, then I will add some ork rockets from the flyer kits on top of these, to get a more orky feel to them.

Then I have some cleaning to do, add the last little details and I hope to call myself done with this dude!

Exhaust - Not sure if I want to add the extra one, but it makes the other one feel less dorky, as it sticks out quite abit!



Front view:



I am really happy with this guy and hope that I can soon be finished with him so I can start to paint him!
Have a nice day everyone : )

I'm digging it!

My two cents, I'd bulk out the back end, visually it looks very front heavy (from the shots posted) and something big, say a new supa charged engine hanging out the back may level things out.
The top gun, I like it, it looks to me like a artillery piece of some sort; maybe add a breach with a deck and crew manning (orking) the gun. If you go that route maybe a sort of balance/ stability bi-pod off the back, ie the knight does a squat and the back legs take the recoil vs blowing the knights backside into the mud.
Beafer toes with some sort of spikes on them, again for stability in firing,and the for smashing and stomping, something like the Tau Broadsides have (I believe).
And the mandatory MORE RIVETS!

Hey, thanks Mad Duck!

I'm having a hard time with the top! I don't want it to be too overpowering, but I don't want to leave it blank either.

Thinking about putting something on the back, even just a little platform for some grots would be cool, but then again I also don't want this to take too much focus from the miniature...

Working on rivets and more armorplates! Just trying to make it look good!

I normally appreciate Orky conversions but the military nut in me is questioning where all of the ammo feeds and recoil mechanisms are for the additional load of cannons on the torso.

The idea would be something like the Leman Russ tank, where these guns are taken from. Everything is operated from inside the Knight.
As I'm still working hard on the torso with both failure and success, I will also add some "hatches" for the ammo to drop out from the sides, on the two double front guns.

Thanks for pointing that out : )

Seems like one of the shoulders has fallen of before the picture, but I've cut and bruised the edges of them in hope to make them more orkyfied and distinguish them from my other two Imperial Knights.

So I made a little turret for the top, quite happy with it!


I will take some better pictures with my camera instead of the phone once its getting close to be finished.
I've just snapped some pictures of the things I've done, so hopefully I'll get some better ones of the entire miniature!

Hopefully no one minds me posting here, I find it fun to share my progress as it keeps me motivated : )

The thing to also consider is that they don't work, orks being innately psychic believe something works, so it does. No ork vehicle or weapon works when recovered by the imperium.

Gaunt's Ghosts, Ghostmaker. Ork Trukks work just fine under Imperial control. Contrary to popular belief, Orks cannot make sticks shoot bullets just by believing.

They still need ammo for most guns tho. The weapons themselves work if they believe it. They do not create bullets, batteries, etc out of thin air. They've got slaves and factories for the tons of bullets they need.

So I am waiting for some parts to my imperial knight, so I started playing around with a model I ruined with typhus corriotion.

Turns out he makes a bad ass Warboss!
I think he turned out quite nice, only need to figure out if I want one or two guns, I think the best way to mount the gun is under the arm, like many other heavy weapons.

He is almost finished aswell, but I just have to make a trophy rack, which will include a dead space marine!

After a couple of weeks I got around to doing something with this bad boy, sadly I think I like him better without the shoulders.

I really want the missile lunchers on the shoulders, but it just doesnt feel right. Maybe Ill try to redo them and made them look better, but atm I dont think I cba...



The missile lunchers are guite parallel, it just seems abit odd on the pictures : )

I like it! I myself have made one as well, and if you'd care to look, my suggestion to you is my favorite part of mine

Get some grot and ork crew on there!

Oh man thats awesome! Reminds me of a transformer! You sure managed to get alot of guns into it!

I also want some crew, I was thinking a platformish thingie, with some doors leading into the shoulders and to the back of the torsoe.
Though Im not skilled or creative enough for that yet : )

Just found this. Love it! Nice conversion work. Lot of little bits of cool here. Thanks for sharing! I like the idea that there are WAY too many guns on this thing, and it needs an army of grots to make it work.
I can imagine every nook and cranny inside filled with food, tiny hammocks, squigs waiting to eat the unwary, etc. Hope to see some more from you, Kern. (which is weird to say, since I live ON the kern river...)

Dont sell yourself short, your conversions are very nice! I reccommend Rhino doors and other tank/ mek gun armor plates to make platforms or "windows" or anything. With a bit more armor on yours itll look even better

I love it but the face needs to go.

Glad you all like it!

I like the head, it was one of the reasons I made the Conversion! I managed to glue the magnets kinda akwardly, so when I put the tubes on, everything went South.
So I ended up removing everything and ordered a new base for the head, but I do agree it needs some more details!
